5 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
8 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
9 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
10
11 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
12 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
13 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
14 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
15
16 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
17 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
18 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
19 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
20
21 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
22 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
23 information. For detailed background information, see
24 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
25 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
26 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
27 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
28 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
29 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
30 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
31 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
32 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
33 remove a conditional branch.
34
35 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
36 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
37 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
38 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
39 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
40 remains as a deprecated alias.
41
42 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
43 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
44 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
45 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
46
47 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
48 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
49 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
50 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
51 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
52 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
53 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
54 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
55
56 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
57
58 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
59 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
60 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
61 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
62 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
63 with applications using a single external cache for quite
64 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
65 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
66 in a different context.
67 [Bodo Moeller]
68
69 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
70 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
71 authentication-only ciphersuites.
72 [Bodo Moeller]
73
74 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
75
76 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
77 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
78 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
79 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
80 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
81 [Victor Duchovni]
82
83 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
84 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
85 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
86 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
87 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
88 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
89 [Bodo Moeller]
90
91 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
92 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
93 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
94 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
95 message has informed the client about his choice.)
96 [Bodo Moeller]
97
98 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
99 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
100
101 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
102 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
103 Improve header file function name parsing.
104 [Steve Henson]
105
106 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
107 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
108 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
109
110 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
111
112 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
113 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
114 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
115
116 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
117 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
118
119 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
120 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
121
122 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
123 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
124 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
125
126 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
127 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
128 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
129 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
130 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
131 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
132 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
133 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
134 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
135
136 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
137 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
138 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
139 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
140 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
141
142 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
143 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
144 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
145 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
146 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
147 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
148 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
149 multiple values to extend the available space.
150
151 [Bodo Moeller]
152
153 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
154
155 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
156 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
157
158 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
159 [Ben Laurie]
160
161 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
162 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
163 undesirable limitations.
164 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
165
166 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
167 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
168 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
169 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
170 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
171 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
172 to avoid potential handshake problems.
173 [Bodo Moeller]
174
175 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
176
177 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
178 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
179 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
180
181 The latter two were purportedly from
182 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
183 appear there.
184
185 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
186 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
187 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
188 [Bodo Moeller]
189
190 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
191 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
192 [Bodo Moeller]
193
194 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
195 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
196 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
197 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
198
199 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
200 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
201 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
202 [NTT]
203
204 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
205 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
206 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
207 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
208 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
209 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
210 [Steve Henson]
211
212 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
213
214 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
215 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
216 [Steve Henson]
217
218 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
219 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
220
221 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
222 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
223 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
224 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
225 [Douglas Stebila]
226
227 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
228 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
229 [Steve Henson]
230
231 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
232 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
233 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
234 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
235 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
236 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
237 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
238 can't be loaded.
239 [Steve Henson]
240
241 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
242 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
243 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
244 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
245 [Steve Henson]
246
247 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
248 under VC++ build system.
249 [Steve Henson]
250
251 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
252 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
253 [Richard Levitte]
254
255 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
256
257 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
258 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
259 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
260 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
261 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
262
263 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
264 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
265 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
266
267 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
268 [Steve Henson]
269
270 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
271 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
272 [Nils Larsch]
273
274 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
275 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
276
277 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
278 [Nick Mathewson]
279
280 *) Extended Windows CE support.
281 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
282
283 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
284 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
285 [Steve Henson]
286
287 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
288 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
289 smime utility.
290 [Steve Henson]
291
292 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
293
294 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
295 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
296
297 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
298 [Richard Levitte]
299
300 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
301 key into the same file any more.
302 [Richard Levitte]
303
304 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
305 [Andy Polyakov]
306
307 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
308 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
309
310 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
311 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
312 [Richard Levitte]
313
314 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
315 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
316 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
317 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
318 this only applies when building 'shared'.
319 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
320
321 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
322 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
323 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
324 [Steve Henson]
325
326 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
327 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
328 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
329 - add new function for parameter creation
330 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
331 BN_BLINDING parameters
332 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
333 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
334 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
335 threads.
336 [Nils Larsch]
337
338 *) Add support for DTLS.
339 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
340
341 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
342 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
343 [Walter Goulet]
344
345 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
346 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
347 [Nils Larsch]
348
349 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
350 the apps/openssl applications.
351 [Nils Larsch]
352
353 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
354 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
355 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
356 [Ben Laurie]
357
358 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
359 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
360
361 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
362 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
363
364 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
365 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
366 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
367 avoid this algorithm.)
368
369 [Bodo Moeller]
370
371 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
372 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
373 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
374 [Richard Levitte]
375
376 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
377 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
378 [Andy Polyakov]
379
380 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
381 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
382 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
383 pod file:
384
385 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
386
387 The blank line is mandatory.
388
389 [Steve Henson]
390
391 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
392 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
393 sources.
394 [Steve Henson]
395
396 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
397 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
398
399 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
400 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
401 to support policy checking and print out.
402 [Steve Henson]
403
404 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
405 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
406 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
407 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
408
409 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
410 [Geoff Thorpe]
411
412 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
413 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
414
415 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
416 implementation contributed by IBM.
417 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
418
419 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
420 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
421 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
422 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
423
424 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
425 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
426
427 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
428 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
429 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
430 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
431 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
432 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
433 [Steve Henson]
434
435 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
436 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
437 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
438 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
439 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
440 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
441 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
442 [Geoff Thorpe]
443
444 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
445 [Steve Henson]
446
447 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
448 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
449 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
450 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
451 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
452 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
453 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
454 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
455 [Steve Henson]
456
457 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
458 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
459 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
460 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
461 [Steve Henson]
462
463 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
464 syntax:
465
466 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
467 [Steve Henson]
468
469 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
470 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
471 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
472 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
473 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
474 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
475 BN_CTX's "bundling".
476 [Geoff Thorpe]
477
478 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
479 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
480 [Geoff Thorpe]
481
482 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
483 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
484 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
488 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
489 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
490 below).
491 [Geoff Thorpe]
492
493 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
494 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
495 [Richard Levitte]
496
497 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
498 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
499 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
500 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
501 [Geoff Thorpe]
502
503 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
504 initialised value as BN_new().
505 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
506
507 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
508 [Steve Henson]
509
510 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
511 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
512 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
513 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
514 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
515 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
516 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
517 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
518 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
519 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
520 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
521 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
522 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
523 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
524 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
525
526 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
527 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
528 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
529 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
530 [Geoff Thorpe]
531
532 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
533 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
534 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
535 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
536 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
537 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
538 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
539 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
540 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
541 [Geoff Thorpe]
542
543 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
544 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
545 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
546 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
547 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
548 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
549 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
550 [Geoff Thorpe]
551
552 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
553 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
554 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
555 these have been updated also.
556 [Geoff Thorpe]
557
558 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
559 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
560 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
561 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
562 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
563 functions.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
567 structure of type "other".
568 [Steve Henson]
569
570 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
571 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
572 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
573 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
574 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
575 situation in the script.
576 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
577
578 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
579 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
580 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
581 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
582 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
583 used as premaster secret.
584 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
585
586 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
587 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
588 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
589
590 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
591 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
592
593 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
594 control of the error stack.
595 [Richard Levitte]
596
597 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
598 [Richard Levitte]
599
600 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
601 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
602 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
603 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
604 [Richard Levitte]
605
606 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
607 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
608 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
609 [Richard Levitte]
610
611 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
612 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
613 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
614 a memory area.
615 [Richard Levitte]
616
617 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
618 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
619 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
620 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
621 [Richard Levitte]
622
623 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
624 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
625 the following flags are defined:
626
627 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
628 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
629 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
630 number.
631
632 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
633 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
634 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
635 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
636 returns zero.
637 [Richard Levitte]
638
639 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
640 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
641 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
642 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
643 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
644 [Richard Levitte]
645
646 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
647 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
648 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
649 [Richard Levitte]
650
651 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
652 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
653 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
654 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
655 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
656 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
657 [Richard Levitte]
658
659 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
660 req and dirName.
661 [Steve Henson]
662
663 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
664 [Steve Henson]
665
666 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
667 [Steve Henson]
668
669 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
670 [Steve Henson]
671
672 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
673 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
674 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
675 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
676 default implementation more easily.
677 [Geoff Thorpe]
678
679 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
680 in config files.
681 [Steve Henson]
682
683 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
684 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
685 [Richard Levitte]
686
687 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
688 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
689 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
690 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
691
692 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
693 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
694 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
695 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
696 [Steve Henson]
697
698 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
699 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
700 to do it.
701 [Richard Levitte]
702
703 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
704 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
705 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
706 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
707 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
708 scalar * generator).
709 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
710
711 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
712 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
713 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
714 correctly.
715 [Steve Henson]
716
717 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
718 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
719 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
720 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
721 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
722 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
723 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
724 linker additions, eg;
725 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
726 [Geoff Thorpe]
727
728 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
729 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
730 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
731 [Geoff Thorpe]
732
733 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
734 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
735 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
736 via PR#459)
737 [Lutz Jaenicke]
738
739 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
740 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
741 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
742 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
743 [Geoff Thorpe]
744
745 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
746 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
747 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
748 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
749 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
750 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
751 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
752 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
753 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
754 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
755
756 Example for using the new callback interface:
757
758 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
759 void *my_arg = ...;
760 BN_GENCB my_cb;
761
762 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
763
764 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
765 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
766 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
767 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
768 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
769 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
770 */
771
772 [Geoff Thorpe]
773
774 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
775 available to TLS with the number defined in
776 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
777 [Richard Levitte]
778
779 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
780 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
781
782 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
783 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
784 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
785 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
786
787 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
788 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
789
790 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
791 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
792 well.
793 [Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
796 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
797 [Richard Levitte]
798
799 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
800 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
801 and a macro that behave like
802 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
803
804 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
805 [Nils Larsch]
806
807 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
808 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
809 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
810 if applicable.
811 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
812
813 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
814 [Bodo Moeller]
815
816 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
817 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
818 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
819 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
820 directory engines/.
821 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
822 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
823 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
824 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
825 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
826 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
827 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
828 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
829
830 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
831 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
832 [Richard Levitte]
833
834 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
835 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
836
837 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
838 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
839 files while avoiding the low level API.
840
841 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
842 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
843 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
844 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
845
846 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
847 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
848 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
849 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
850 instead of the low level API.
851 [Steve Henson]
852
853 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
854 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
855 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
856 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
857 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
858 PKCS#7 code.
859
860 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
861 down to the template encoder.
862 [Steve Henson]
863
864 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
865 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
866 [Bodo Moeller]
867
868 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
869 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
870 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
871 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
872
873 *) Add ECDH engine support.
874 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
875
876 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
877 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
878
879 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
880 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
881 [Bodo Moeller]
882
883 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
884 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
885 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
886 [Bodo Moeller]
887
888 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
889 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
890
891 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
892 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
893
894 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
895 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
896 New EC_METHOD:
897
898 EC_GF2m_simple_method
899
900 New API functions:
901
902 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
903 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
904 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
905 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
906 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
907 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
908
909 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
910 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
911 enable it).
912
913 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
914 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
915 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
916 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
917 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
918 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
919 various internal method names.)
920
921 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
922 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
923
924 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
925 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
926
927 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
928 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
929
930 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
931 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
932 methods are undefined.
933
934 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
935 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
936
937 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
938 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
939 length of the modulus.
940
941 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
942 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
943
944 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
945 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
946
947 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
948 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
949
950 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
951 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
952 used) in the following functions [macros]:
953
954 BN_GF2m_add
955 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
956 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
957 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
958 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
959 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
960 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
961 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
962 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
963 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
964
965 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
966 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
967
968 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
969 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
970 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
971 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
972 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
973 where
974 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
975 This applies to the following functions:
976
977 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
978 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
979 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
980 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
981 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
982 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
983 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
984 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
985 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
986 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
987
988 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
989
990 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
991 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
992
993 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
994
995 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
996 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
997 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
998 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
999 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1000
1001 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1002 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1003
1004 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1005 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1006 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1007
1008 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1009 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1010
1011 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1012 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1013 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1014 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1015 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1016
1017 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1018 functions
1019 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1020 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1021 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1022 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1023 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1024 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1025 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1026 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1027 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1028 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1029 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1030 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1031
1032 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1033 functions
1034 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
1035 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1036 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1037 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1038 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1039
1040 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1041 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1042 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1043 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1044
1045 *) Add functions
1046 EC_POINT_point2bn()
1047 EC_POINT_bn2point()
1048 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1049 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1050 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1051 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1052 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1053
1054 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1055 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1056 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1057 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1058 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1059 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1060 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1061 adding different types of curves.
1062 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1063
1064 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1065 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1066 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1067 [Bodo Moeller]
1068
1069 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1070 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1071
1072 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1073 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1074 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1075 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1076
1077 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1078
1079 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1080 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1081
1082 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1083 library. Most notably,
1084 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1085 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1086 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1087 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1088 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1089 extracted before the specific public key;
1090 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1091 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1092
1093 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1094 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1095 function
1096 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1097 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1098 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1099 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1100 accessed via
1101 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1102 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1103 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1104
1105 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1106 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1107 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1108 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1109 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1110 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1111 differing sizes.
1112 [Richard Levitte]
1113
1114 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1115
1116 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1117 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1118 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1119 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1120 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1121 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1122 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1123 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1124 in a different context.
1125 [Bodo Moeller]
1126
1127 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1128
1129 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1130 sensitive data.
1131 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1132
1133 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1134 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1135 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1136 [Bodo Moeller]
1137
1138 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1139 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1140 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1141 [Victor Duchovni]
1142
1143 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1144 [Steve Henson]
1145
1146 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1147 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1151 run algorithm test programs.
1152 [Steve Henson]
1153
1154 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1158 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1159 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1160 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1161 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1162 [Bodo Moeller]
1163
1164 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1165 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1166 [Steve Henson]
1167
1168 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1169
1170 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1171 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1172 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1173
1174 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1175 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1178 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1179
1180 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1181 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1182 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1183
1184 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1185 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1186 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1187 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1188 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1189 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1190 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1191 [Bodo Moeller]
1192
1193 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1194
1195 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1196 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1197
1198 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1199 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1200 undesirable limitations.
1201 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1202
1203 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1204
1205 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1206 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1207 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1208
1209 The latter two were purportedly from
1210 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1211 appear there.
1212
1213 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1214 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1215 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1216 [Bodo Moeller]
1217
1218 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1219 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1220 [Bodo Moeller]
1221
1222 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1223
1224 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1225 module in FIPS mode.
1226 [Steve Henson]
1227
1228 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1229 [Steve Henson]
1230
1231 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1232 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1233 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1234 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1235 [Steve Henson]
1236
1237 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1238
1239 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1240 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1241 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1242 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1243 the difference induced by this change.
1244 [Andy Polyakov]
1245
1246 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1247
1248 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1249 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1250 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1251 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1252 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1253
1254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1255 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1256 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1257
1258 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1259 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1260 [Steve Henson]
1261
1262 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1263 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1264 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1265 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1266 biased k.)
1267 [Bodo Moeller]
1268
1269 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1270 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1271 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1272 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1273 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1274
1275 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1276 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1277 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1278 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1279 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1280 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1281
1282 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1283
1284 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1285 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1286 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1287 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1288 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1289 [Bodo Moeller]
1290
1291 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1292 clients need.
1293 [Steve Henson]
1294
1295 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1296 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1297 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1298 [Steve Henson]
1299
1300 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1301 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1302 structures constant.
1303 [Steve Henson]
1304
1305 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1306
1307 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1308 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1309
1310 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1311 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1312 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1313 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1314 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1315 some needed definitions.
1316 [Steve Henson]
1317
1318 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1319 [Ulf Möller]
1320
1321 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1322 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1323 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1324 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1325 [Richard Levitte]
1326
1327 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1328
1329 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1330 server and client random values. Previously
1331 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1332 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1333
1334 This change has negligible security impact because:
1335
1336 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1337 data.
1338
1339 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1340 handshake.
1341
1342 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1343 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1344 values.
1345
1346 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1347 to our attention.
1348
1349 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1350
1351 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1352 [Ulf Möller]
1353
1354 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1355 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1356 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1357
1358 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1359 [Steve Henson]
1360
1361 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1362 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1363 [Andy Polyakov]
1364
1365 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1366 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1367 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1368
1369 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1370 [Steve Henson]
1371
1372 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1373 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1374 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1375 certificates.
1376 [Steve Henson]
1377
1378 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1379 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1380 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1381 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1382
1383 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1384 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1385 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1386 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1387 been given)
1388 [Richard Levitte]
1389
1390 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1391
1392 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1393 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1394 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1395 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1396 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1397 [Steve Henson]
1398
1399 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1400 [Steve Henson]
1401
1402 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1403 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1404
1405 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1406 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1407 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1408 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1409 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1410 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1411 rather than being initialized to 1.
1412 [Steve Henson]
1413
1414 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1415
1416 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1417 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1418 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1419
1420 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1421 (CVE-2004-0112)
1422 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1423
1424 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1425 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1426 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1427 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1428 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1429 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1430 [Richard Levitte]
1431
1432 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1433 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1434 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1435 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1436 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1437 for these cases.
1438 [Steve Henson]
1439
1440 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1441 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1442 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1443 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1444 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1445 [Steve Henson]
1446
1447 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1448 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1449 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1450 < 0.9.7.
1451 [Steve Henson]
1452
1453 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1454 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1455
1456 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1457 [Steve Henson]
1458
1459 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1460
1461 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1462
1463 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1464 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1465
1466 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1467
1468 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1469 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1470
1471 [Steve Henson]
1472
1473 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1474 exiting on the first error in a request.
1475 [Steve Henson]
1476
1477 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1478 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1479 specifications.
1480 [Steve Henson]
1481
1482 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1483 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1484 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1485 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1486
1487 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1488 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1489 [Richard Levitte]
1490
1491 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1492 blocks during encryption.
1493 [Richard Levitte]
1494
1495 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1496 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1497 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1498 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1499 certain size.
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1503 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1504 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1505 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1506 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1507 parser.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1511
1512 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1513 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1514 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1515 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1516 [Bodo Moeller]
1517
1518 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1519 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1520 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1521 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1522 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1523
1524 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1525 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1526 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1527 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1528 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1529 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1530 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1531 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1532 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1533 [Bodo Moeller]
1534
1535 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1536 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1537 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1538 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1539 [Geoff Thorpe]
1540
1541 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1542 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1543 [Ulf Moeller]
1544
1545 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1546
1547 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1548 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1549 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1550 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1551 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1552
1553 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1554 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1555 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1556
1557 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1558 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1559 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1560 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1561 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1562
1563 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1564 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1565 used by default when no-err is given.
1566 [Richard Levitte]
1567
1568 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1569 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1570
1571 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1572 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1573 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1574 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1575 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1576
1577 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1578 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1579 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1580 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1581
1582 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1583
1584 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1585
1586 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1587
1588 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1589 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1590 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1591 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1592 root is omitted).
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1596 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1597
1598 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1599 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1600 [Steve Henson]
1601
1602 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1603 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1604 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1605 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1606 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1607
1608 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1609 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1610 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1611 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1612 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1613 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1614 followup to PR #377.
1615 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1616
1617 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1618 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1619 [Andy Polyakov]
1620
1621 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1622 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1623 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1624 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1625
1626 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1627
1628 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1629 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
1630
1631 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1632 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1633 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1634 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1635 client and server.
1636 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1637 PR #377.
1638 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1639
1640 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1641 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1642 removed entirely.
1643 [Richard Levitte]
1644
1645 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1646 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1647 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1648 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1649 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1650 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1651 of libcrypto.
1652 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1653 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1654 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1655 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1656 have to be made anyway).
1657 [Richard Levitte]
1658
1659 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1660 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1661 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1662 [Steve Henson]
1663
1664 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1665 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1666 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1667 [Richard Levitte]
1668
1669 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1670 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1671 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1672
1673 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1674 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1675 edit numbers of the version.
1676 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1677
1678 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1679 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1680 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1681
1682 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1683 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1684
1685 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1686 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1687 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1688
1689 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1690 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1691
1692 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1693 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1694
1695 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1696 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1697
1698 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1699 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1700
1701 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1702 overflows.
1703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1704
1705 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1706 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1707 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1708
1709 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1710 representations in a platform independent manner.
1711 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1712
1713 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1714 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1715 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1716
1717 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1718 indents.
1719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1720
1721 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1723
1724 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1725 full. Fixed.
1726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1727
1728 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1729 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1731
1732 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1733 unconditionally).
1734 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1735
1736 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1737 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1738
1739 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1740 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1741
1742 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1743 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1744
1745 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1746 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1747
1748 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1749 CBCParameter.
1750 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1751
1752 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1753 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1754
1755 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1756 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1757
1758 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1759 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1760 exploitable.
1761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1762
1763 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1764 the 0.9.6 release series:
1765
1766 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1767 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1768 (CVE-2002-0657)
1769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1770
1771 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1772 [Richard Levitte]
1773
1774 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1775 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1776
1777 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1778 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1779
1780 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1781 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1782 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1783 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1784
1785 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1786 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1787 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1788
1789 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1790 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1791 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1792 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1793
1794 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1795 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1796 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1797 some local tweaks:
1798
1799 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1800 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1801 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1802 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1803 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1804 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1805 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1806 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1807 done
1808
1809 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1810 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1811 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1812 [Richard Levitte]
1813
1814 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1815 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1816 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1817 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1818 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1819
1820 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1821 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1822
1823 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1824 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1825 [Richard Levitte]
1826
1827 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1828 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1829 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1830 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1831 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1832 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1833 [Steve Henson]
1834
1835 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1836 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1837 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1838 [Steve Henson]
1839
1840 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1841 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1842 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1843
1844 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1845 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1846 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1847 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1848 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1849 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1850 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1851 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1852
1853 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1854 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1855 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1856 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1857 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1858 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1859 [Steve Henson]
1860
1861 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1862 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1863 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1864 declaration has been changed from
1865 int (*cb)()
1866 into
1867 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1868 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1869 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1870 has been changed into
1871 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1872
1873 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1874 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1875 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1876
1877 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1878 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1879
1880 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1881 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1882 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1883 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1884 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1885 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1886 always load it have also been added.
1887 [Steve Henson]
1888
1889 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1890 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1891 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1892
1893 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1894
1895 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1896 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1897 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1898
1899 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1900 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1901 command line option can be used to specify an
1902 alternative file.
1903 [Steve Henson]
1904
1905 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1906 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1907 [Steve Henson]
1908
1909 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1910 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1911 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1912 [Steve Henson]
1913
1914 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1915 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1916 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1917 to work with the new engine framework.
1918 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1919
1920 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1921 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1922 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1923 to work with the new engine framework.
1924 [Richard Levitte]
1925
1926 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1927 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1928 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1929
1930 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1931 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1932
1933 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1934 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1935 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1936 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1937 FORMAT_IISSGC.
1938 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1939
1940 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1941 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1942
1943 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1944 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1945
1946 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1947 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1948 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1949 [Ben Laurie]
1950
1951 *) Add new functions
1952 ERR_peek_last_error
1953 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1954 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1955 These are similar to
1956 ERR_peek_error
1957 ERR_peek_error_line
1958 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1959 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1960 still in the error queue.
1961 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1962
1963 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1964 like:
1965 default_algorithms = ALL
1966 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1967 [Steve Henson]
1968
1969 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1970 [Steve Henson]
1971
1972 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1973 [Steve Henson]
1974
1975 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1976 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1977 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1978 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1979
1980 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1981 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1982
1983 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1984 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1985
1986 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1987 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1988 [Bodo Moeller]
1989
1990 *) New functions/macros
1991
1992 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1993 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1994 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1995 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1996
1997 to request calling a callback function
1998
1999 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2000 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2001
2002 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2003 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2004 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2005 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2006 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2007 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2008 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2009 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2010 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2011 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2012
2013 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2014 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2015 [Bodo Moeller]
2016
2017 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2018 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2019 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2020 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2021 the configuration scripts.
2022
2023 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2024 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2025 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2026
2027 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2028 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2029
2030 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2031 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2032 when reusing an existing buffer.
2033 [Bodo Moeller]
2034
2035 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2036 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2037 [Steve Henson]
2038
2039 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2040 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2041 [Ben Laurie]
2042
2043 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2044 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2045 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2046 has the same effect.
2047 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2048
2049 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2050 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2051 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2052 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2053 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2054 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2055 exception.
2056
2057 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2058 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2059 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2060 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2061
2062 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2063 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2064 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2065 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2066
2067 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2068 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2069 won't work.
2070
2071 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2072 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2073 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2074 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2075 default), and then completely removed.
2076 [Richard Levitte]
2077
2078 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2079 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2080 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2081 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2082 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2083 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2084 particular extension is supported.
2085 [Steve Henson]
2086
2087 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2088 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2089 [Steve Henson]
2090
2091 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2092 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2093 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2094 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2095 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2096 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2097 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2098 requires the destination to be valid.
2099
2100 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2101 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2102 [Steve Henson]
2103
2104 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2105 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2106 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2107 [Bodo Moeller]
2108
2109 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2110 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2111
2112 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2113 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2114 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2115 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2116 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2117 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2118 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2119 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2120 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2121 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2122 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2123 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2124 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2125 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2126 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2127 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2128 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2129 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2130 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2131 the new code.
2132 [Geoff Thorpe]
2133
2134 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2135 [Steve Henson]
2136
2137 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2138 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2139 become part of libeay.num as well.
2140 [Richard Levitte]
2141
2142 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2143 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2144 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2145 false once a handshake has been completed.
2146 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2147 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2148 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2149 client has followed the request.)
2150 [Bodo Moeller]
2151
2152 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2153 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2154 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2155 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2156
2157 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2158 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2159 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2160 [Bodo Moeller]
2161
2162 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2163 [Steve Henson]
2164
2165 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2166 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2167 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2168 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2169
2170 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2171 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2172 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2173
2174 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2175 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2176 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2177 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2178 [Geoff Thorpe]
2179
2180 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2181 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2182 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2183 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2184 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2185 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2186 [Geoff Thorpe]
2187
2188 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2189 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2190 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2191 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2192 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2193 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2194 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2195 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2196 [Geoff Thorpe]
2197
2198 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2199 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2200 [Geoff Thorpe]
2201
2202 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2203 [Ben Laurie]
2204
2205 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2206 md_data void pointer.
2207 [Ben Laurie]
2208
2209 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2210 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2211 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2212 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2213 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2214 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2215 [Ben Laurie]
2216
2217 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2218 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2219 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2220 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2221 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2222 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2223 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2224 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2225 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2226 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2227 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2228 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2229 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2230 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2231 rather than letting it slide.
2232
2233 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2234 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2235 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2236 [Geoff Thorpe]
2237
2238 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2239 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2240 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2241 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2242 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2243 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2244 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2245 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2246 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2247 [Geoff Thorpe]
2248
2249 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2250 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2251 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2252 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2253 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2254
2255 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2256 [Geoff Thorpe]
2257
2258 *) Add EVP test program.
2259 [Ben Laurie]
2260
2261 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2262 [Ben Laurie]
2263
2264 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2265 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2266 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2267 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2268 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2272 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2273 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2274 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2275 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2276 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2277 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2278
2279 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2280 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2281 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2282 Usage example:
2283
2284 EVP_MD_CTX md;
2285
2286 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2287 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2288 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2289 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2290 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2291
2292 [Ben Laurie]
2293
2294 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2295 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2296 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2297 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2298 anyway): E.g.,
2299
2300 des_key_schedule ks;
2301
2302 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2303 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2304
2305 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2306 [Ben Laurie]
2307
2308 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2309 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2310 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2311 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2312 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2313 functions prevents this.
2314 [Steve Henson]
2315
2316 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2317 [Ben Laurie]
2318
2319 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2320 correct _ecb suffix.
2321 [Ben Laurie]
2322
2323 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2324 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2325 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2326 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2327 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2328 [Steve Henson]
2329
2330 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2331 [Richard Levitte]
2332
2333 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2334 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2335 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2336 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2337
2338 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2339 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2340
2341 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2342 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2343 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2344 via Richard Levitte]
2345
2346 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2347 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2348 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2349 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2350 [Geoff Thorpe]
2351
2352 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2353 Before:
2354 encrypt
2355 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2356 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2362 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
2363 After:

2366 decrypt
2367 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
2368 [Ben Laurie]
2369
2370 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2371 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2372
2373 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2374 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2375 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2376 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2377 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2378 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2382 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2383 [Richard Levitte]
2384
2385 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2386 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2387 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2388 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2389
2390 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2391 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2392 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2393 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2394 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2395 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2396 callback.
2397 [Richard Levitte]
2398
2399 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2400 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2401 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2402 and interrupts/cancellations.
2403 [Richard Levitte]
2404
2405 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2406 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2407 [Steve Henson]
2408
2409 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2410 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2411 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2412
2413 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2414 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2415 kind of callback.
2416 [Richard Levitte]
2417
2418 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2419 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2420 than this minimum value is recommended.
2421 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2422
2423 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2424 that are easily reachable.
2425 [Richard Levitte]
2426
2427 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2428 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2429
2430 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2431
2432 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2433 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2434 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2435 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2436 [Steve Henson]
2437
2438 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2439 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2440 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2441 [Steve Henson]
2442
2443 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2444 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2445 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2446 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2447 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2448 internally such as S/MIME.
2449
2450 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2451 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2452 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2453
2454 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2455 applications.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2459 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2460 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2461 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2462
2463 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2464
2465 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2466
2467 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2468 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2469 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2470 handling.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2474 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2475 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2476 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2477 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2478 a window system and the like.
2479 [Richard Levitte]
2480
2481 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2482 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2483 [Geoff]
2484
2485 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2486 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2487 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2488 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2489 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2490 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2491 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2492 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2493 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2494 ENGINE structure.
2495 [Geoff]
2496
2497 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2498 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2499 tag cache.
2500 [Steve Henson]
2501
2502 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2503 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2504 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2505 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2506 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2507 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2508 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2509 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2510 [Geoff]
2511
2512 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2513 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2514 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2515 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2516 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2517 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2518 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2519 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2520 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2521 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2522 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2523 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2524 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2525 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2526 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2527 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2528 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2529 [Geoff]
2530
2531 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2532 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2533 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2534 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2535 internal engine_int.h header.
2536 [Geoff]
2537
2538 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2539 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2540 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2541 modify their own ones).
2542 [Geoff]
2543
2544 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2545 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2546 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2547 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2548 later on via ctrl() commands.
2549 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2550 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2551 structural references.
2552 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2553 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2554 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2555 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2556 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2557 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2558 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2559 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2560 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2561 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2562 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2563 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2564 [Geoff]
2565
2566 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2567 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2568 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2569 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2570 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2571 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2572 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2573 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2574 [Bodo Moeller]
2575
2576 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2577 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2578 [Steve Henson]
2579
2580 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2581 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2582 [Steve Henson]
2583
2584 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2585 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2586 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2587 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2588 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2589 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2590 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2591 [Steve Henson]
2592
2593 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2594 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2595 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2596 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2597 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2598
2599 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2600 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2601 generator).
2602 [Bodo Moeller]
2603
2604 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2605
2606 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2607 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2608 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2609
2610 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2611 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2612
2613 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2614 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2615 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2616
2617 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2618 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2619
2620 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2621 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2622
2623 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2624
2625 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2626 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2627 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2628 [Bodo Moeller]
2629
2630 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2631 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2632 [Richard Levitte]
2633
2634 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2635 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2636 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2637 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2638 is 40 of more characters long.
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2642 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2643 pointers.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2647 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2648 [Bodo Moeller]
2649
2650 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2651 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2652 might.
2653 [Steve Henson]
2654
2655 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2656
2657 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2658 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2659
2660 ASN1 error codes
2661 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2662 ...
2663 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2664 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2665 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2666 ...
2667 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2668 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2669
2670 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2671 [Bodo Moeller]
2672
2673 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2674 suffices.
2675 [Bodo Moeller]
2676
2677 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2678 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2679 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2680 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2681 and
2682 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2683
2684 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2685 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2686
2687 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2688 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2689 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2690 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2691 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2692 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2693
2694 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2695 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2696
2697 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2698 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2699
2700 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2701 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2702
2703 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2704 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2705 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2706 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2707
2708 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2709 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2710
2711 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2712 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2713
2714 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2715 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2716 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2717 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2718 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2719 [Richard Levitte]
2720
2721 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2722 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2723 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2724 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2725 [Steve Henson]
2726
2727 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2728 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2729 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2730 trust settings.
2731 [Steve Henson]
2732
2733 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2734 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2735 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2736 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2737 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2738 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2739 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2740 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2741 ocsp utility.
2742 [Steve Henson]
2743
2744 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2745 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2746 [Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2749 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2750 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2751 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2752 [Steve Henson]
2753
2754 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2755 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2756 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2757 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2758 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2759 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2760 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2761 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2762 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2763 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2764 [Steve Henson]
2765
2766 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2767 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2768 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2769 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2770 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2771 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2772 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2773 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2774
2775 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2776 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2777 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2778 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2779 [Richard Levitte]
2780
2781 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2782 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2783 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2784 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2785 opensslconf.h.
2786 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2787 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2788 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2789 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2790 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2791 what is available.
2792 [Richard Levitte]
2793
2794 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2795 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2796 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2797 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2798 auto incremented.
2799 [Steve Henson]
2800
2801 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2802 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2803 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2807 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2808 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2809 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2810 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2814 [Steve Henson]
2815
2816 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2817 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2818 option to ocsp utility.
2819 [Steve Henson]
2820
2821 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2822 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2823 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2824 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2825 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2826 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2827 the request is nonce-less.
2828 [Steve Henson]
2829
2830 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2831 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2832 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2833 [Bodo Moeller]
2834
2835 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2836 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2837 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2838 [Steve Henson]
2839
2840 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2841 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2842 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2843 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2844 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2845 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2846
2847 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2848 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2849 appear to exist.
2850 [Steve Henson]
2851
2852 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2853 additional certificates supplied.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2857 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2858 signature against.
2859 [Richard Levitte]
2860
2861 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2862 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2863 AES OIDs.
2864
2865 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2866 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2867 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2868 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2869 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2870 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2871 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2872 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2873 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2874
2875 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2876 request to response.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2880 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2881 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2882 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2883 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2884 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2885 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2886 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2887 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2888 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2889 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2890 [Steve Henson]
2891
2892 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2893 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2894 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2895 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2896 [Steve Henson]
2897
2898 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2899 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2900
2901 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2902 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2903 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2907 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2908 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2909 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2910 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2911
2912 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2913 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2914 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2918 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2919 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2920 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2921 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2922 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2923 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2924 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2925
2926 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2927 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2928 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2929 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2930 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2931 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2932 [Steve Henson]
2933
2934 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2935 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2936 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2937 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2938 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2939 printout format cleaned up.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2943 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2944 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2945 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2946 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2947 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2948 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2949 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2950 [Steve Henson]
2951
2952 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2953 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2954 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2955 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2956 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2957 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2958 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2959 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2960 [Steve Henson]
2961
2962 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2963 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2964 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2965 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2966 section to use.
2967 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2968
2969 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2970 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2971 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2972 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2973 [Steve Henson]
2974
2975 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2976 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2977 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2978 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2979 in the index file.
2980 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2981
2982 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2983 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2984 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2985 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2986
2987 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2988 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2989
2990 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2991 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2992 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2993 [Steve Henson]
2994
2995 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2996 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2997 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2998 [Bodo Moeller]
2999
3000 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3001 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3002 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3003 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3004 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3005 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3006 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3007 functions are provided:
3008
3009 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3010 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3011 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3012 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3013
3014 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3015 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3016 extended allocation function is enabled.
3017 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3018 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3019 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3020
3021 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3022 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3023 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3024 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3025 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3026 [Geoff Thorpe]
3027
3028 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3029 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3030 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3031 be queried.
3032 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3033 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3034 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3035 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3036
3037 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3038 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3039 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3040 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3041 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3042 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3043 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3044 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3045 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3046 [Richard Levitte]
3047
3048 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3049 provide utility functions which an application needing
3050 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3051 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3052 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3053
3054 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3055 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3056 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3057 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3058 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3059 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3060 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3061 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3062 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3063
3064 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3065 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3066 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3067 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3071 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3072 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3073 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3074 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3075 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3076 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3077 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3078 will be added elsewhere.
3079 [Steve Henson]
3080
3081 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3082 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3083 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3084 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3085 [Steve Henson]
3086
3087 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3088 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3089 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3090 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3091 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3092 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3093 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3094 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3095 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3096 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3097 to produce the required SET OF.
3098 [Steve Henson]
3099
3100 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3101 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3102 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3103 [Richard Levitte]
3104
3105 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3106 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3107 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3108 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3109 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3110 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3111 [Steve Henson]
3112
3113 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3114 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3115 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3116 [Steve Henson]
3117
3118 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3119 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3120 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3121 [Richard Levitte]
3122
3123 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3124 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3125 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3126 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3127 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3128 [Steve Henson]
3129
3130 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3131 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3132 [Steve Henson]
3133
3134 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3135 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3136 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3137 certifcates and CRLs.
3138 [Steve Henson]
3139
3140 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3141 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3142 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3143 [Steve Henson]
3144
3145 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3146 entries for variables.
3147 [Steve Henson]
3148
3149 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3150 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3151 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3152 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3153 [Bodo Moeller]
3154
3155 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3156 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3157 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3158 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3159 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3160 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3161 [Bodo Moeller]
3162
3163 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3164 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3165
3166 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3167 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3168 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3169 [Steve Henson]
3170
3171 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3172 print routines.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3176 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3177 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3178 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3179 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3180 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3187 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3188 for now but they will eventually go away.
3189 [Steve Henson]
3190
3191 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3192 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3193 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3194 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3195 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3196 has also been converted to the new form.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3200 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3201 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3202 for negative moduli.
3203 [Bodo Moeller]
3204
3205 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3206 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3207 [Bodo Moeller]
3208
3209 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3210 set.
3211 [Bodo Moeller]
3212
3213 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3214 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3215 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3216 type-specific callbacks.
3217 [Geoff Thorpe]
3218
3219 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3220 RFC 2712.
3221 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3222 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3223
3224 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3225 in sections depending on the subject.
3226 [Richard Levitte]
3227
3228 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3229 Windows.
3230 [Richard Levitte]
3231
3232 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3233 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3234 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3235 be handled deterministically).
3236 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3237
3238 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3239 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3240 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3241 [Bodo Moeller]
3242
3243 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3244 [Bodo Moeller]
3245
3246 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3247 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3248 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3249 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3250 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3251 [Bodo Moeller]
3252
3253 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3254 sign of the number in question.
3255
3256 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3257
3258 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3259 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3260 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3261 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3262 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3263 [Bodo Moeller]
3264
3265 *) New function BN_swap.
3266 [Bodo Moeller]
3267
3268 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3269 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3270 results on negative inputs.
3271 [Bodo Moeller]
3272
3273 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3274 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3275 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3276 [Bodo Moeller]
3277
3278 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3279 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3280 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3281 and add new functions:
3282
3283 BN_nnmod
3284 BN_mod_sqr
3285 BN_mod_add
3286 BN_mod_add_quick
3287 BN_mod_sub
3288 BN_mod_sub_quick
3289 BN_mod_lshift1
3290 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3291 BN_mod_lshift
3292 BN_mod_lshift_quick
3293
3294 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3295
3296 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3297 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3298
3299 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3300 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3301 be reduced modulo m.
3302 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3303
3304 #if 0
3305 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3306 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3307 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3308
3309 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3310 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3311 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3312 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3313 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3314 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3315 differing sizes.
3316 [Richard Levitte]
3317 #endif
3318
3319 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3320 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3321 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3322 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3323 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3324
3325 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3326 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3327 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3328 cause any problems.
3329 [Bodo Moeller]
3330
3331 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3332 [Richard Levitte]
3333
3334 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3335 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3336 [Richard Levitte]
3337
3338 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3339 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3340 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3341 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3342 time)
3343 [Richard Levitte]
3344
3345 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3346 [Richard Levitte]
3347
3348 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3349 [Richard Levitte]
3350
3351 *) Add the following functions:
3352
3353 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3354 ENGINE_load_chil()
3355 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3356 ENGINE_load_nuron()
3357 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3358
3359 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3360 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3361 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3362 libraries unless it's really needed.
3363
3364 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3365 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3366 declarations (they differed!).
3367 [Richard Levitte]
3368
3369 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3370 [Richard Levitte]
3371
3372 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3373 [Richard Levitte]
3374
3375 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3376 [Bodo Moeller]
3377
3378 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3379 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3380 [Richard Levitte]
3381
3382 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3383 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3384 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]

3386 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3387 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3388 [Richard Levitte]
3389
3390 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3391 [Richard Levitte]
3392
3393 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3394 [Richard Levitte]
3395
3396 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3397 [Ben Laurie]
3398
3399 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3400 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3401 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3402
3403 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3404 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3405 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3406 different shared library filenames on each system.
3407 [Geoff Thorpe]
3408
3409 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3410 [Richard Levitte]
3411
3412 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3413 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3414 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3415 of two sections.
3416 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3417
3418 *) NCONF changes.
3419 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3420 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3421 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3422 binary backward compatibility.
3423 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3424 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3425 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3426 LDAP server.
3427 [Richard Levitte]
3428
3429 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3430 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3431 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3432 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3433 this case.
3434 [Steve Henson]
3435
3436 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3437 [Ben Laurie]
3438
3439 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3440 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3441 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3442 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3443 set.
3444 [Steve Henson]
3445
3446 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3447 [Richard Levitte]
3448
3449 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3450
3451 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3452 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3453 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3454
3455 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3456
3457 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3458
3459 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3460 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3461 [Steve Henson]
3462
3463 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3464
3465 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3466
3467 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3468 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3469
3470 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3471 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3472
3473 [Steve Henson]
3474
3475 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3476 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3477 specifications.
3478 [Steve Henson]
3479
3480 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3481 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3482 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3483 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3484
3485 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3486 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3487 [Richard Levitte]
3488
3489 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3490
3491 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3492 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3493 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3494 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3495 [Bodo Moeller]
3496
3497 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3498 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3499 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3500 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3501 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3504 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3505 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3506 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3507 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3508 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3509 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3510 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3511 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3512 [Bodo Moeller]
3513
3514 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3515
3516 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3517 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3518 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3519 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3520 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3521
3522 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3523 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3524 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3525
3526 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3527
3528 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3529 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3530 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3531 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3532 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3533 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3534 [Geoff Thorpe]
3535
3536 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3537 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3538 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3539 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3540 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3541 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3542
3543 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3544 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3545 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3546
3547 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3548 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3549 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3550 EVP_cleanup().
3551 [Richard Levitte]
3552
3553 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3554 being properly terminated.
3555 [Richard Levitte]
3556
3557 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3558 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3559 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3560 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3561
3562 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3563 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3564 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3565 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3566 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3567 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3568 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3569 change.
3570 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3571
3572 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3573 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3574 [Bodo Moeller]
3575
3576 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3577 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3578 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3579 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3580 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3581 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3582 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3583 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3584
3585 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3586 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3587 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3588 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3589 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3590
3591 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3592 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3593 [Steve Henson]
3594
3595 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3596
3597 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3598 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3599 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3600
3601 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3602
3603 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3604 and get fix the header length calculation.
3605 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3606 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3607 Steve Henson]
3608
3609 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3610 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3611 assertions could call abort()).
3612 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3613
3614 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3615
3616 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3617 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3618 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3619 supplied buffer.
3620 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3621
3622 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3623 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3624 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3625 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3626
3627 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3628 [Nils Larsch]
3629
3630 *) New option
3631 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3632 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3633 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3634
3635 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3636 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3637 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3638 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3639 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3640 applications.
3641 [Bodo Moeller]
3642
3643 *) Changes in security patch:
3644
3645 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3646 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3647 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3648 F30602-01-2-0537.
3649
3650 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3651 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3652 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3653 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3654 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3655
3656 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3657 happen in practice.
3658 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3659
3660 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3661 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3662 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3663
3664 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3665 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3666 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3667
3668 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3669 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3671
3672 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3673
3674 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3675 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3676 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3677
3678 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3679 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3680
3681 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3682 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3683 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3684 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3685 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3686 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3687 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3688
3689 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3690 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3691 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3692 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3693 [Bodo Moeller]
3694
3695 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3696 [Bodo Moeller]
3697
3698 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3699 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3700 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3701 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3702 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3703 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3704
3705 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3706 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3707 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3708 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3709 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3710 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3711
3712 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3713 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3714 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3715 BN_generate_prime().)
3716
3717 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3718 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3719 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3720 better.
3721 [Bodo Moeller]
3722
3723 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3724 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3725 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3726
3727 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3728 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3729 when using non-blocking I/O.
3730 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3731
3732 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3733 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3734
3735 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3736 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3737 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3738
3739 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3740 configuration for the versions before that.
3741 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3742
3743 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3744 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3745 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3746 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3747 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3748
3749 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3750 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3751 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3752 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3753
3754 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3755 value is 0.
3756 [Richard Levitte]
3757
3758 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3759 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3760 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3761
3762 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3763 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3764
3765 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3766 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3767 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3768 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3769 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3770 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3771 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3772 session cache.
3773
3774 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3775 using a local variable.
3776 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3777
3778 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3779 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3780 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3781
3782 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3783 [Richard Levitte]
3784
3785 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3786 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3787
3788 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3789 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3790 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3791
3792 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3793
3794 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3795 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3796 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3797 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3798 [Bodo Moeller]
3799
3800 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3801 present.
3802 [Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3805 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3806 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3807 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3808 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3809
3810 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3811 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3812 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3813
3814 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3815 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3816 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3817
3818 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3819 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3820 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3821 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3822
3823 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3824 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3825 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3826 modules).
3827 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3828
3829 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3830 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3831 from 0.9.7.
3832 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3833
3834 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3835 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3836 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3837 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3838
3839 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3840 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3841 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3842 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3843
3844 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3845 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3846
3847 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3848 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3849 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3850 [Bodo Moeller]
3851
3852 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3853 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3854 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3855 become invalid.
3856 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3857
3858 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3859 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3860 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3861 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3862 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3863 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3864 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3865 [Bodo Moeller]
3866
3867 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3868 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3869 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3870 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3871
3872 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3873 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3874 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3875 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3876 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3877 the client will at least see that alert.
3878 [Bodo Moeller]
3879
3880 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3881 correctly.
3882 [Bodo Moeller]
3883
3884 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3885 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3886 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3887
3888 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3889 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3890 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3891 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3892 HelloRequest.
3893
3894 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3895 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3896 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3897
3898 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3899 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3900 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3901 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3902 may leak via logfiles.)
3903
3904 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3905 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3906 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3907 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3908 the legal range.
3909 [Bodo Moeller]
3910
3911 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3912 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3913 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3914
3915 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3916 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3917 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3918 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3919 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3920 [Bodo Moeller]
3921
3922 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3923 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3924
3925 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3926 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3927 followed by modular reduction.
3928 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3929
3930 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3931 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3932 [Bodo Moeller]
3933
3934 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3935 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3936 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3937 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3938 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3939
3940 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3941 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3942
3943 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3944 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3945 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3946
3947 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3948 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3949 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3950 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3951 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3952 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3953 automatically.
3954 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3955
3956 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3957 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3958 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3959 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3960 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3961
3962 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3963 [Andy Polyakov]
3964
3965 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3966 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3967 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3968 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3969 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3970 to allow the necessary settings.
3971 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3972
3973 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3974 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3975 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3976 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3977 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3978
3979 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3980 dh->length and always used
3981
3982 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3983
3984 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3985 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3986 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3987 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3988 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3989 dh->length.
3990
3991 So switch back to
3992
3993 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3994
3995 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3996 otherwise.
3997 [Bodo Moeller]
3998
3999 *) In
4000
4001 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4002 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4003 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4004 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4005
4006 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4007 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4008 always reject numbers >= n.
4009 [Bodo Moeller]
4010
4011 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4012 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4013 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4014 variable) is not atomic.
4015 [Bodo Moeller]
4016
4017 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4018 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4019 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4020 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4021
4022 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4023 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4024
4025 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4026 little-endian MIPS.
4027 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4028
4029 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4030 [Richard Levitte]
4031
4032 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4033
4034 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4035 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4036 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4037 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4038 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4039 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4040 to traverse all of 'state'.
4041
4042 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4043 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4044 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4045
4046 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4047 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4048
4049 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4050 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4051 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4052 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4053 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4054 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4055 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4056 further strengthens the PRNG.
4057 [Bodo Moeller]
4058
4059 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4060 [Andy Polyakov]
4061
4062 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4063 an error message in this case.
4064 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4065
4066 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4067 [Steve Henson]
4068
4069 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4070 positive and less than q.
4071 [Bodo Moeller]
4072
4073 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4074 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4075 that itself.
4076 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4077
4078 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4079 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4080 [Bodo Moeller]
4081
4082 *) Fix OAEP check.
4083 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4084
4085 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4086 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4087 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4088 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4089 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4090 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4091 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4092 paper.)
4093
4094 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4095 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4096 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4097 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4098
4099 Both problems are now fixed.
4100 [Bodo Moeller]
4101
4102 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4103 (previously it was 1024).
4104 [Bodo Moeller]
4105
4106 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4107 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4111 [Steve Henson]
4112
4113 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4114 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4115 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4116 [Steve Henson]
4117
4118 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4119 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4120 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4121 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4122 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4123 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4124 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4125 environment variables.
4126
4127 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4128 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4129 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4130 [Bodo Moeller]
4131
4132 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4133 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4134 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4135 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4136 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4137 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4138 [Bodo Moeller]
4139
4140 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4141 versions of 'test'.
4142 [Bodo Moeller]
4143
4144 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4145
4146 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4147 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4148
4149 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4150 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4151 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4152 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4153 CygWin.
4154 [Richard Levitte]
4155
4156 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4157 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4158 amount of data available.
4159 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4160 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4161
4162 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4163 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4164 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4165 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4166 [Bodo Moeller]
4167
4168 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4169 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4170 and UnixWare.
4171 [Richard Levitte]
4172
4173 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4174 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4175 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4176 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4177 [Ulf Moeller]
4178
4179 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4180 [Andy Polyakov]
4181
4182 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4183 [Richard Levitte]
4184
4185 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4186 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4187 [Steve Henson]
4188 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4189
4190 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4191 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4192 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4193 (but broken) behaviour.
4194 [Steve Henson]
4195
4196 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4197 it when found.
4198 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4199
4200 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4201 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4202 [Bodo Moeller]
4203
4204 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4205 did not exist.
4206 [Bodo Moeller]
4207
4208 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4209 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4210
4211 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4212 [Richard Levitte]
4213
4214 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4215 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4216 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4217
4218 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4219 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4220 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4224 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4225 [Ulf Moeller]
4226
4227 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4228 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4229
4230 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4231
4232 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4233
4234 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4235 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4236 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4237 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4238 [Bodo Moeller]
4239
4240 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4241 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4242
4243 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4244 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4245 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4246
4247 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4248 was empty.
4249 [Steve Henson]
4250 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4251
4252 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4253 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4254 but the code is actually correct.
4255 [Steve Henson]
4256
4257 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4258 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4259 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4260 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4261 and leaves the highest bit random.
4262 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4263
4264 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4265 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4266 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4267 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4268 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4269 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4270 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4271 [Bodo Moeller]
4272
4273 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4274 [Ulf Moeller]
4275
4276 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4277 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4278 [Steve Henson]
4279
4280 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4281 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4282 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4283 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4284 headers.
4285 [Richard Levitte]
4286
4287 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4288 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4289 and break the signature.
4290 [Steve Henson]
4291 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4292
4293 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4294 DH ciphersuites.
4295 [Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4298 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4299 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4300 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4301 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4302 [Bodo Moeller]
4303
4304 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4305 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4306
4307 *) ./config script fixes.
4308 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4309
4310 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4311 [Bodo Moeller]
4312
4313 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4314 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4315 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4316 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4317 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4318
4319 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4320 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4321 [Bodo Moeller]
4322
4323 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4324 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4328 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4329 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4330 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4331
4332 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4333 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4334
4335 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4336 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4337 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4338 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4339 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4340
4341 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4342 [Bodo Moeller]
4343
4344 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4345 [Ulf Möller]
4346
4347 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4348 [Ulf Möller]
4349
4350 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4351 [Bodo Moeller]
4352
4353 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4354 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4355 [Bodo Moeller]
4356
4357 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4358 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4359 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4360 result of the server certificate verification.)
4361 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4362
4363 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4364 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4365 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4366 [Bodo Moeller]
4367
4368 *) Fix SSL_peek:
4369 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4370 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4371 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4372 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4373 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4374 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4375 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4376 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4377 [Bodo Moeller]
4378
4379 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4380 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4381 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4382 happening the other way round.
4383 [Geoff Thorpe]
4384
4385 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4386 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4387 [Bodo Moeller]
4388
4389 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4390 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4391 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4392 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4393 [Richard Levitte]
4394
4395 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4396 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4397
4398 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4399
4400 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4401 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4402 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4403 that.
4404
4405 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4406
4407 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4408
4409 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4410 static ones.
4411 [Richard Levitte]
4412
4413 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4414
4415 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4416 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4417 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4418 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4419 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4420
4421 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4422 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4423 matter what.
4424 [Richard Levitte]
4425
4426 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4427 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4428
4429 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4430
4431 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4432 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4433 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4434 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4435 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4436 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4437 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4438 by the Finished messages.
4439 [Bodo Moeller]
4440
4441 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4442 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4443
4444 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4445 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4446 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4447 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4448 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4449 appropriately.
4450 [Steve Henson]
4451
4452 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4453 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4454 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4455 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4456 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4457 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4458 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4459 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4460 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4461 together.
4462 [Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4465 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4466 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4467 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4468
4469 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4470 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4471 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4472 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4473 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4474 the answer.
4475
4476 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4477 been tested well enough.
4478 [Richard Levitte]
4479
4480 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4481 it can return incorrect results.
4482 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4483 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4484 [Bodo Moeller]
4485
4486 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4487 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4488 include zero length content when signing messages.
4489 [Steve Henson]
4490
4491 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4492 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4493 [Bodo Möller]
4494
4495 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4496 [Richard Levitte]
4497
4498 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4499 wrong sign.
4500 [Ulf Möller]
4501
4502 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4503 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4504 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4505 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4506 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4507 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4508 [Richard Levitte]
4509
4510 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4511 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4512
4513 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4514 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4515
4516 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4517 random number < q in the DSA library.
4518 [Ulf Möller]
4519
4520 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4521 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4522 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4523 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4524 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4525 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4526 just makes things more complicated.)
4527 [Bodo Moeller]
4528
4529 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4530 from EGD.
4531 [Ben Laurie]
4532
4533 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4534 work better on such systems.
4535 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4536
4537 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4538 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4539 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4540 [Steve Henson]
4541
4542 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4543 if there was more than one signature.
4544 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4545
4546 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4547 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4548 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4549 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4550 [Richard Levitte]
4551
4552 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4553 rather than always using the current time.
4554 [Steve Henson]
4555
4556 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4557 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4558 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4559 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4560 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4561 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4562
4563 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4564 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4565
4566 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4567
4568 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4569 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4570 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4571 the same hash value.
4572
4573 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4574 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4575 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4576 with X509_STORE internally.
4577
4578 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4579 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4580
4581 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4582 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4583 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4584 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4585 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4586 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4587 entirely (maybe later...).
4588
4589 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4590
4591 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4592 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4593 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4594 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4595 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4596 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4597 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4598 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4599
4600 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4601 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4602
4603 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4604 to customise the verify behaviour.
4605 [Steve Henson]
4606
4607 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4608 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4609 [Steve Henson]
4610
4611 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4612 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4613 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4614 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4615 request is improperly encoded.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4619 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4620 BIO_write(b, ...).
4621
4622 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4623 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4624
4625 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4626 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4627 words set to zero.)
4628 [Bodo Moeller]
4629
4630 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4631 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4632 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4633 [Bodo Moeller]
4634
4635 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4636 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4637 BIO/fp routines also added.
4638 [Steve Henson]
4639
4640 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4641 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4642
4643 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4644 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4645 demos/state_machine.
4646 [Ben Laurie]
4647
4648 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4649 generation and verification.
4650 [Steve Henson]
4651
4652 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4653 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4654 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4655 encode and decode it manually.
4656 [Steve Henson]
4657
4658 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4659 compile under VC++.
4660 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4661
4662 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4663 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4664 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4665 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4666
4667 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4668 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4669 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4670 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4671 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4675 [Richard Levitte]
4676
4677 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4678 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4679 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4680
4681 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4682 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4683 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4684 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4685 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4686 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4687 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4688 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4689
4690 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4691 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4692
4693 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4694
4695 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4696 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4697 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4698
4699 [Richard Levitte]
4700
4701 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4702 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4703 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4704 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4705 [Richard Levitte]
4706
4707 *) MD4 implemented.
4708 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4709
4710 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4711 [Richard Levitte]
4712
4713 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4714 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4715 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4716 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4717 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4718 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4719 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4720 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4721 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4722 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4723 short or long names are found.
4724 [Steve Henson]
4725
4726 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4727 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4728
4729 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4730 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4731 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4732 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4733
4734 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4735 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4736 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4737 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4738 [Bodo Moeller]
4739
4740 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4741 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4742 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4743 [Richard Levitte]
4744
4745 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4746 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4747 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4748 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4749 to allow the various flags to be set.
4750 [Steve Henson]
4751
4752 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4753 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4754 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4755 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4756 dates to be checked.
4757 [Steve Henson]
4758
4759 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4760 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4761 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4762 [Steve Henson]
4763
4764 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4765 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4766 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4767 [Steve Henson]
4768
4769 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4770 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4771 [Bodo Moeller]
4772
4773 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4774 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4775 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4776 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4777 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4778 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4779 [Richard Levitte]
4780
4781 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4782 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4783 Random Numbers.
4784 [Ulf Möller]
4785
4786 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4787 DSA key.
4788 [Steve Henson]
4789
4790 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4791 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4792 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4793 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4794 form signing output easier to verify.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4798 [Steve Henson]
4799
4800 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4801 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4802 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4803 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4804 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4805 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4806 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4807 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4808 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4809 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4813
4814 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4815 the syntax given in objects.README.
4816 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4817 obj_mac.h.
4818 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4819 obj_mac.h.
4820
4821 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4822 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4823 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4824 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4825 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4826 consistent name changes.
4827 [Richard Levitte]
4828
4829 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4830 [Bodo Moeller]
4831
4832 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4833 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4834 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4835 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4836 [Richard Levitte]
4837
4838 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4839 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4840 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4841 of safestack.h .
4842 [Steve Henson]
4843
4844 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4845 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4846 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4847 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4848 [Steve Henson]
4849
4850 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4851 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4852 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4853 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4854 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4855 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4856 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4857 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4858 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4859 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4860 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4861 [Steve Henson]
4862
4863 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4864 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4865 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4866 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4867 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4868 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4869 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4870 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4871 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4872 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4873 [Steve Henson]
4874
4875 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4876 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4877 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4878 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4879
4880 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4881 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4882 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4883 omit any duplicate addresses.
4884 [Steve Henson]
4885
4886 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4887 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4888 [Bodo Moeller]
4889
4890 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4891 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4892 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4893 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4894 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4895 [Bodo Moeller]
4896
4897 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4898 software:
4899 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4900 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4901 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4902 Free => OPENSSL_free
4903 [Richard Levitte]
4904
4905 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4906 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4907 [Bodo Moeller]
4908
4909 *) CygWin32 support.
4910 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4911
4912 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4913 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4914 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4915 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4916 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4917 approach.
4918 [Geoff Thorpe]
4919
4920 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4921 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4922 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4923 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4924 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4925 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4926 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4927 [Geoff Thorpe]
4928
4929 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4930 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4931 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4932 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4933 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4934 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4935 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4936 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4937 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4938 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4939 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4940 [Bodo Moeller]
4941
4942 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4943 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4944 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4945 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4946 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4947
4948 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4949 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4950 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4951 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4952 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4953
4954 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4955 ciphers.
4956
4957 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4958 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4959 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4960 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4961
4962 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4963
4964 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4965 of macros.
4966
4967 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4968 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4969 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4970 flags.
4971
4972 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4973 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4974 any installed hardware versions can.
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4978 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4979 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4980 number.
4981 [Bodo Moeller]
4982
4983 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4984 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4985 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4986 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4987 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4988
4989 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4990 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4994 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4995 [Richard Levitte]
4996
4997 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4998 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4999 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5000 features.
5001 [Steve Henson]
5002
5003 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5004 [Ulf Möller]
5005
5006 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5007 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5008 but no ssl client purpose.
5009 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5010
5011 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5012 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5013 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5014 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5015 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5016 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5017 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5018 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5019 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5020 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5021 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5022 [Steve Henson]
5023
5024 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5025 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5026 be obtained from the error queue.
5027 [Bodo Moeller]
5028
5029 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5030 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5031 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5032 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5033 [Bodo Moeller]
5034
5035 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5036 [Ulf Möller]
5037
5038 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5039 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5040 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5041 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5042 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5043 [Geoff Thorpe]
5044
5045 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5046 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5047 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5048 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5049 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5050 [Geoff Thorpe]
5051
5052 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5053 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5054 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5055 may not be NULL.
5056 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5057
5058 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5059 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5060 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5061 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5062 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5063 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5064 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5065 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5066 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5067 or "the configuration storage API"...
5068
5069 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5070
5071 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5072 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5073
5074 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5075
5076 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5077
5078 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5079 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5080 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5081 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5082 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5083 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5084 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5085
5086 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5087 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5088 [Richard Levitte]
5089
5090 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5091 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5092 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5093 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5094 [Bodo Moeller]
5095
5096 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5097 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5098 them in a portable way.
5099 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5100
5101 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5102
5103 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5104
5105 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5106 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5107
5108 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5109 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5110 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5111 <attili@amaxo.com>]
5112
5113 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5114 was larger than the MD block size.
5115 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5116
5117 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5118 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5119 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5120 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5121 components.
5122 [Steve Henson]
5123
5124 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5125 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5126 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5127
5128 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5129 discouraged.
5130 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5131
5132 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5133 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5134 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5135 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5136 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5137 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5138
5139 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5140 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5141
5142 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5143 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5144 [Bodo Moeller]
5145
5146 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5147 [Bodo Moeller]
5148
5149 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5150 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5151 its own key.
5152 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5153 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5154 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5155 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5156 [Bodo Moeller]
5157
5158 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5159 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5160 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5161 does not suppress any output.
5162 [Richard Levitte]
5163
5164 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5165 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5166 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5167 with all the associated security issues.
5168
5169 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5170 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5171 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5172 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5173 use the value in the default purpose.
5174 [Steve Henson]
5175
5176 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5177 and fix a memory leak.
5178 [Steve Henson]
5179
5180 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5181 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5182 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5183 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5184 [Bodo Moeller]
5185
5186 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5187 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5188 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5189 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5190 [Bodo Moeller]
5191
5192 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5193 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5194 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5195 [Bodo Moeller]
5196
5197 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5198 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5199 [Bodo Moeller]
5200
5201 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5202 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5203 which was free.
5204 [Steve Henson]
5205
5206 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5207 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5208 [Bodo Moeller]
5209
5210 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5211 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5212 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5213 [Bodo Moeller]
5214
5215 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5216 number generation fails.
5217 [Bodo Moeller]
5218
5219 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5220 [Bodo Moeller]
5221
5222 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5223 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5224
5225 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5226 [Ulf Möller]
5227
5228 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5229 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5230
5231 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5232 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5233
5234 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5235
5236 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5237 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5238 [Steve Henson]
5239
5240 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5241 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5242
5243 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5244 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5245 [Ulf Möller]
5246
5247 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5248 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5249 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5250 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5251 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5252 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5253
5254 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5255 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5256 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5257 for example.
5258 [Steve Henson]
5259
5260 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5261 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5262 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5263 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5264 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5265 counter, some don't.)
5266 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5267 counters or duplicate objects.
5268 [Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5271 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5272 [Steve Henson]
5273
5274 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5275 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5276 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5277
5278 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5279 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5280 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5281 or -rand.
5282 [Ulf Möller]
5283
5284 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5285 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5286 [Steve Henson]
5287
5288 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5289 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5290 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5291 cipher list.
5292 [Steve Henson]
5293
5294 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5295 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5296 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5297 [Steve Henson]
5298
5299 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5300 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5301 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5302 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5303 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5304 should work without changes.
5305 [Richard Levitte]
5306
5307 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5308 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5309 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5310 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5311 must be defined. E.g.,
5312 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5313 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5314 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5315 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5316
5317 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5318 record layer.
5319 [Bodo Moeller]
5320
5321 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5322 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5323 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5327 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5328 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5329 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5330 [Steve Henson]
5331
5332 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5333 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5334 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5335 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5336 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5337 is prompted for as usual.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5341 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5342 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5343 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5344
5345 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5346 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5347 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5348 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5349 [Steve Henson]
5350
5351 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5352 [Andy Polyakov]
5353
5354 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5355 of seed file.
5356 [Steve Henson]
5357
5358 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5359 [Bodo Moeller]
5360
5361 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5362 [Steve Henson]
5363
5364 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5365 bits.
5366 [Ulf Möller]
5367
5368 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5369 [Ulf Möller]
5370
5371 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5372 [Andy Polyakov]
5373
5374 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5375 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5376 [Ulf Möller]
5377
5378 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5379 options to produce them.
5380 [Steve Henson]
5381
5382 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5383 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5384 [Ulf Möller]
5385
5386 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5387 for p == 0.
5388 [Ulf Möller]
5389
5390 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5391 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5392 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5393 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5394 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5395 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5396 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5397 [Steve Henson]
5398
5399 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5400 [Steve Henson]
5401
5402 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5403 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5404 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5405 [Bodo Moeller]
5406
5407 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5408 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5409
5410 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5411 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5412 [Ulf Möller]
5413
5414 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5415 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5416 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5417 has already seen).
5418 [Bodo Moeller]
5419
5420 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5421 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5422
5423 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5424 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5425 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5426 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5427 generation becomes much faster.
5428
5429 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5430 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5431 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5432 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5433 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5434 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5435 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5436 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5437 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5438 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5439 [Bodo Moeller]
5440
5441 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5442 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5443 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5444 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5445 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5446 trial division stage.
5447 [Bodo Moeller]
5448
5449 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5450 as ASN1_TIME.
5451 [Steve Henson]
5452
5453 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5457 [Ulf Möller]
5458
5459 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5460 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5461 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5462 the comments.
5463 [Ulf Möller]
5464
5465 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5466 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5467 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5468 [Bodo Moeller]
5469
5470 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5471 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5472 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5473 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5474
5475 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5476 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5477 [Steve Henson]
5478
5479 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5480 [Ulf Möller]
5481
5482 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5483 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5484 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5485 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5486 [Ulf Möller]
5487
5488 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5489 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5490 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5491 [Ulf Möller]
5492
5493 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5494 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5495 (instead of parameters) in future.
5496 [Steve Henson]
5497
5498 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5499 when a new cipher list is set.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5503 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5504 wrong.
5505
5506 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5507 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5508 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5509
5510 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5511 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5512 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5513 an error is flagged.
5514
5515 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5516 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5517 the readability was also increased :-)
5518 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5519
5520 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5521 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5522 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5523 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5524 as the root CA.
5525 [Steve Henson]
5526
5527 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5528 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5529 [Steve Henson]
5530
5531 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5532 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5533 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5534 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5535 instead.
5536
5537 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5538 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5539 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5540 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5541 because they handle more complex structures.)
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5545 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5546 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5547 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5548
5549 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5550 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5551 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5552 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5553 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5554 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5555 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5556 [Ulf Möller]
5557
5558 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5559 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5560 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5561 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5562 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5563 [Bodo Moeller]
5564
5565 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5566 [Bodo Moeller]
5567
5568 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5569 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5570 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5571 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5572 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5573 to use this.
5574
5575 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5576 code.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5580 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5581 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5582 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5583 [Steve Henson]
5584
5585 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5586 [Ulf Möller]
5587
5588 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5589 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5590 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5591 international characters are used.
5592
5593 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5594 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5595 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5596 in ASN1 order.
5597 [Steve Henson]
5598
5599 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5600 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5601 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5602 request.
5603
5604 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5605 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5606 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5607 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5608 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5609 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5610
5611 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5612 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5613 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5614 be handled by the string table functions.
5615
5616 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5617 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5618 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5619 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5620 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5621 types at all.
5622 [Steve Henson]
5623
5624 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5625 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5626 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5627 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5628 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5629
5630 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5631 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5632 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5633 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5634 [Bodo Moeller]
5635
5636 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5637 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5638 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5639 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5640 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5641 SHA1.
5642 [Andy Polyakov]
5643
5644 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5645 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5646 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5647 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5648 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5649 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5650 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5651 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5652
5653 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5654 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5655 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5656 [Steve Henson]
5657
5658 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5659 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5660 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5661 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5662 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5663 support to pkcs8 application.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5667 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5668 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5669 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5670 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5671 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5672 [Bodo Moeller]
5673
5674 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5675 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5676 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5677 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5678 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5679 consistency.
5680 [Bodo Moeller]
5681
5682 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5683 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5684 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5685 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5686 example.
5687 [Steve Henson]
5688
5689 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5690 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5691 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5692 and any application specific purposes.
5693
5694 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5695 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5696 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5697 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5698 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5699 if the certificate is self signed.
5700 [Steve Henson]
5701
5702 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5703 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5704 [Steve Henson]
5705
5706 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5707 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5708 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5709 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5710 [Steve Henson]
5711
5712 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5713 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5714 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5715 Update documentation.
5716 [Steve Henson]
5717
5718 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5719 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5720 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5721 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5722 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5723 [Steve Henson]
5724
5725 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5726 for details.
5727 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5728
5729 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5730 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5731 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5732 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5733 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5734 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5735 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5736 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5737 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5738 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5739
5740 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5741
5742 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5743 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5744 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5745 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5746 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5747
5748 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5749 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5750 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5751 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5752 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5753 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5754 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5755 request additional information:
5756 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5757 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5758
5759 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5760 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5761 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5762 options.
5763
5764 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5765 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5766
5767 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
5768 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5769 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
5770
5771 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5772 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5773
5774 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5775 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5776 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5777 algorithm.
5778 [Steve Henson]
5779
5780 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5781 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5782 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5783
5784 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5785 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5786 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5787 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5788 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5789 included in OpenSSL.
5790 [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5793 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5794 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5795 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5796 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5797 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5798 [Bodo Moeller]
5799
5800 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5801 PKCS12 structure.
5802 [Steve Henson]
5803
5804 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5805 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5806 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5807 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5808 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5809 structure.
5810 [Steve Henson]
5811
5812 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5813 need initialising.
5814 [Steve Henson]
5815
5816 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5817 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5818 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5819 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5820 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5821 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5822 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5823 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5824 be maintained manually.
5825
5826 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5827 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5828 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5829 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5830 work because people forget to call this function]
5831 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5832 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5833 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5834 [Steve Henson]
5835
5836 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5837 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5838 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5839 should be discouraged from doing it.
5840 [Ben Laurie]
5841
5842 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5843 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5844 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5845 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5846 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5847 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5848 [Steve Henson]
5849
5850 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5851 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5852 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5853
5854 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5855 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5856 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5857
5858 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5859 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5860 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5861 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5862 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5863 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5864
5865 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5866 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5867 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5868
5869 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5870 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5871 and vice versa.
5872
5873 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5874 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5875 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5876 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5877 [Steve Henson]
5878
5879 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5880 [Steve Henson]
5881
5882 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5883 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5884 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5885 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5886 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5887 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5888 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5889 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5890 keys so we should be OK.
5891
5892 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5893 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5894 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5895 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5896 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5897 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5898 stay in the name of compatibility.
5899
5900 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5901 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5902 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5903
5904 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5905 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5906 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5907 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5908 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5909 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5910 supplied key).
5911 [Steve Henson]
5912
5913 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5914 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5915 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5916 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5917 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5918 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5919 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5920 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5921 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5922 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5923 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5924 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5925 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5926 [Steve Henson]
5927
5928 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5929 [Steve Henson]
5930
5931 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5932 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5933 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5934 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5935 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5936 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5937 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5938 openssl verify ss.pem
5939 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5940 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5941 is OK.
5942 [Steve Henson]
5943
5944 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5945 (and add it to external session representation).
5946 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5947 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5948 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5949 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5950 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5951 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5952 security holes.
5953 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5954
5955 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5956 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5957 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5958 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5959
5960 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5961 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5962 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5963 [Steve Henson]
5964
5965 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5966 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5967 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5968 code.
5969 [Steve Henson]
5970
5971 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5972 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5973 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5974
5975 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5976 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5977 certificate auxiliary information.
5978 [Steve Henson]
5979
5980 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5981 the 'enc' command.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5985 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5986 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5987 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5988 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5989 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5990 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5991 [Richard Levitte]
5992
5993 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5994 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5995 [Steve Henson]
5996
5997 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5998 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5999 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6000 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6001 [Steve Henson]
6002
6003 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6004 [Steve Henson]
6005
6006 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6007 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6008 [Steve Henson]
6009
6010 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6011 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6012 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6013 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6014 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6015 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6016 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6017 using the new 'x509' options.
6018
6019 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6020 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6021 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6022 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6023 for all purposes.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6027 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6028 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6029 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6030 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6031 [Mark Cox]
6032
6033 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6034 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6035 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6036 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6037 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6038 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6039 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6040 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6041 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6042 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6043 [Steve Henson]
6044
6045 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6046 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6047 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6048 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6049 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6050 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6051 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6052 [Steve Henson]
6053
6054 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6055 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6056 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6057 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6058 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6059 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6060 openssl.cnf for more info.
6061 [Steve Henson]
6062
6063 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6064 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6065 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6066 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6067 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6068 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6069 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6070 md should be large enough anyway.
6071 [Bodo Moeller]
6072
6073 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6074 for handling the random seed file.
6075
6076 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6077 ca,
6078 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6079 s_client,
6080 s_server,
6081 x509 (when signing).
6082 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6083 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6084 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6085
6086 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6087 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6088 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6089 that support '-rand'.
6090 [Bodo Moeller]
6091
6092 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6093 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6094 [Bodo Moeller]
6095
6096 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6097 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6098 [Bill Perry]
6099
6100 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6101 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6102 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6103 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6104 is suitable.
6105 [Steve Henson]
6106
6107 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6108 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6109 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6110 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6111 [Steve Henson]
6112
6113 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6114 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6115 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6116 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6117 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6118 print out all the purposes.
6119 [Steve Henson]
6120
6121 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6122 functions.
6123 [Steve Henson]
6124
6125 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6126 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6127 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6128 single function call.
6129 [Steve Henson]
6130
6131 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6132 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6133 [Andy Polyakov]
6134
6135 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6136 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6137 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6138 [Steve Henson]
6139
6140 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6141 when producing the local key id.
6142 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6143
6144 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6145 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6146 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6147 "server.pem".
6148 [Steve Henson]
6149
6150 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6151 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6152 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6153 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6154 [Steve Henson]
6155
6156 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6157 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6158 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6159 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6160
6161 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6162 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6163 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6164 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6165
6166 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6167 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6168 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6169 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6170 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6171 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6172 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6173 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6174 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6175 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6176 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6177 trivial: move one line.
6178 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6179
6180 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6181 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6182 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6183 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6184 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6185 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6186 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6187 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6188 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6189 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6190 with an event loop for example.
6191 [Steve Henson]
6192
6193 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6194 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6195 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6196 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6197 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6198 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6199 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6200 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6201 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6202 [Steve Henson]
6203
6204 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6205 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6206 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6207 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6208 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6209 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6210 [Steve Henson]
6211
6212 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6213 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6214 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6215 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6216
6217 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6218 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6219 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6220 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6221 key generation.
6222 [Steve Henson]
6223
6224 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6225 (still largely untested)
6226 [Bodo Moeller]
6227
6228 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6229 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6230 [Steve Henson]
6231
6232 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6233 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6237 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6238 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6239 [Bodo Moeller]
6240
6241 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6242 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6243 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6244 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6245 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6249 [Andy Polyakov]
6250
6251 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6252 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6253 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6254 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6255 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6256 in ca.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6260 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6261 1.OU="Unit name 1"
6262 2.OU="Unit name 2"
6263 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6264 [Steve Henson]
6265
6266 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6267 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6268 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6269 are otherwise ignored at present.
6270 [Steve Henson]
6271
6272 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6273 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6274 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6275 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6276 copied until the next read.
6277 [Steve Henson]
6278
6279 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6280 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6281 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6282 [Steve Henson]
6283
6284 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6285 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6286 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6287 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6288 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6289 associated functions.
6290 [Steve Henson]
6291
6292 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6293 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6294 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6295 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6296 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6297 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6298 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6299 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6300 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6301 memory BIOs.
6302 [Steve Henson]
6303
6304 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6305 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6306 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6307 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6308 [Bodo Moeller]
6309
6310 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6311 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6312 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6313 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6314 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6315 functionality.
6316 [Steve Henson]
6317
6318 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6319 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6320 under Win32.
6321 [Steve Henson]
6322
6323 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6324 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6325 extensions to be obtained and added.
6326 [Steve Henson]
6327
6328 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6329 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6330 [Bodo Moeller]
6331
6332 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6333
6334 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6336
6337 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6338 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6339
6340 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6341 program.
6342 [Steve Henson]
6343
6344 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6345 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6346 DH parameters contain its length).
6347
6348 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6349 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6350 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6351 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6352 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6353 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6354 utter importance to use
6355 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6356 or
6357 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6358 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6359 attacks may become possible!
6360 [Bodo Moeller]
6361
6362 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6363 [Bodo Moeller]
6364
6365 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6366 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6367 [Steve Henson]
6368
6369 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6370 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6371 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6372 or long name.
6373 [Steve Henson]
6374
6375 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6376 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6377 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6378 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6379 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6380 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6381 private key operations.
6382 [Steve Henson]
6383
6384 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6385 [Andy Polyakov]
6386
6387 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6388 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6389 to
6390 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6391 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6392 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6393 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6394 the password callback is called.
6395 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6396
6397 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6398
6399 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6400 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6401 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6402 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6403 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6404 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6405 this will work.
6406
6407 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6408 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6409 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6410 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6411 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6412 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6413 [Bodo Moeller]
6414
6415 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6416 [Andy Polyakov]
6417
6418 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6419 delete an unused file.
6420 [Ulf Möller]
6421
6422 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6423 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6424 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6425 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6429 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6430 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6431 of an error.
6432 [Bodo Moeller]
6433
6434 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6435 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6436 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6437
6438 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6439 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6440 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6441 comparison" warnings.
6442 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6443 [Steve Henson]
6444
6445 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6446 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6447 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6448 [Steve Henson]
6449
6450 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6451 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6452
6453 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6454 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6455
6456 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6457 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6458 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6459
6460 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6461 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6462 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6463 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6464 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6465 this bug.
6466 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6467
6468 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6469 The interface is as follows:
6470 Applications can use
6471 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6472 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6473 "off" is now the default.
6474 The library internally uses
6475 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6476 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6477 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6478
6479 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6480 even the default) are now avoided.
6481
6482 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6483 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6484 than just having a counter.
6485
6486 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6487
6488 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6489 extensions.
6490 [Bodo Moeller]
6491
6492 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6493 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6494 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6495 Initial "mode" flags are:
6496
6497 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6498 a single record has been written.
6499 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6500 retries use the same buffer location.
6501 (But all of the contents must be
6502 copied!)
6503 [Bodo Moeller]
6504
6505 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6506 worked.
6507
6508 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6509 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6510
6511 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6512 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6513 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6514 [Steve Henson]
6515
6516 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6517 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6518 test programs.
6519 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6520
6521 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6522 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6523 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6524 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6525 point to the end.
6526 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6527 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6528
6529 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6530 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6531 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6532 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6533 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6534 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6535 [Steve Henson]
6536
6537 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6538 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6539 necessary function names.
6540 [Steve Henson]
6541
6542 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6543 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6544 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6545 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6546 [Bodo Moeller]
6547
6548 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6549 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6550 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6551 [Steve Henson]
6552
6553 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6554 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6555 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6556 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6557 such programs?)
6558 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6559 need locks.
6560 [Bodo Moeller]
6561
6562 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6563 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6564 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6565 [Bodo Moeller]
6566
6567 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6568 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6569 appropriate.
6570 [Bodo Moeller]
6571
6572 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6573 for the encoded length.
6574 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6575
6576 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6577 [Steve Henson]
6578
6579 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6580 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6581 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6582 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6583 [Steve Henson]
6584
6585 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6586 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6588
6589 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6590 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6591 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6592 unusual formatting.
6593 [Steve Henson]
6594
6595 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6596 to use the new extension code.
6597 [Steve Henson]
6598
6599 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6600 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6601 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6602 constant.
6603 [Steve Henson]
6604
6605 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6606 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6607 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6608 [Bodo Moeller]
6609
6610 #if 0
6611 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6612 [Ben Laurie]
6613 #else
6614 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6615 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6616 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6617 #endif
6618
6619 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6620 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6621 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6622 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6623 [Ben Laurie]
6624
6625 *) DES library cleanups.
6626 [Ulf Möller]
6627
6628 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6629 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6630 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6631 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6632 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6633 of v2.0.
6634 [Steve Henson]
6635
6636 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6637 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6638 [Bodo Moeller]
6639
6640 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6641 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6642 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6643 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6644 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6645 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6646 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6647 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6648 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6649 [Steve Henson]
6650
6651 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6652 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6653 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6654 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6655 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6656 value doesn't matter.
6657 [Steve Henson]
6658
6659 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6660 support mutable.
6661 [Ben Laurie]
6662
6663 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6664 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6665 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6666 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6667
6668 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6669 [Ulf Möller]
6670
6671 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6672 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6673 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6674
6675 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6676 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6677
6678 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6679 [Ben Laurie]
6680
6681 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6682 [Ben Laurie]
6683
6684 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6685 [Ben Laurie]
6686
6687 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6688 [Bodo Moeller]
6689
6690
6691 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6692
6693 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6694
6695 *) Updated some demos.
6696 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6697
6698 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6699 [Wu Zhigang]
6700
6701 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6702 [Steve Henson]
6703
6704 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6705 [Steve Henson]
6706
6707 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6708 instead of using a fixed path.
6709 [Bodo Moeller]
6710
6711 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6712 [Andy Polyakov]
6713
6714 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6715 [Richard Levitte]
6716
6717
6718 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6719
6720 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6721 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6722 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6723
6724 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6725 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6726 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6727 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6728 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6729 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6730 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6731 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6732 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6733 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6734 [Steve Henson]
6735
6736 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6737 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6738 [Steve Henson]
6739
6740 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6741 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6742 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6743 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6744 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6745
6746 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6747 [Bodo Moeller]
6748
6749 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6750 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6751 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6752 [Steve Henson]
6753
6754 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6755 [Ben Laurie]
6756
6757 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6758 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6759 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6760 key elements as negative integers.
6761 [Steve Henson]
6762
6763 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6764 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6765
6766 *) VMS support.
6767 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6768
6769 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6770 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6771 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6772 [Steve Henson]
6773
6774 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6775 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6776 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6777 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6778 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6779 [Bodo Moeller]
6780
6781 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6782 [Ulf Möller]
6783
6784 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6785 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6786 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6787 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6788
6789 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6790 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6791 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6792
6793 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6794 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6795 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6796 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6797 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6798 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6799 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6800 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6801 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6802
6803 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6804 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6805 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6806 does not influence s as it used to.
6807
6808 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6809 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6810 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6811 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6812 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6813 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6814 [Bodo Moeller]
6815
6816 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6817 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6818 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6819 key type.
6820 [Steve Henson]
6821
6822 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6823 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6824 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6825 and 'x509').
6826 [Steve Henson]
6827
6828 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6829 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6830 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6831 extension option.
6832 [Steve Henson]
6833
6834 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6835 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6836 [Ben Laurie]
6837
6838 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6839 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6840
6841 *) Support Mingw32.
6842 [Ulf Möller]
6843
6844 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6845 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6846
6847 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6848 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6849
6850 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6851 [Ulf Möller]
6852
6853 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6854 [Anonymous]
6855
6856 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6857 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6858
6859 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6860 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6861 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6862 DER-encoded.)
6863 [Bodo Moeller]
6864
6865 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6866 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6867 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6868 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6869 now it really counts the depth.
6870 [Bodo Moeller]
6871
6872 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6873 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6874 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6875 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6876 didn't match the private key).
6877
6878 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6879 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6880 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6881 [Bodo Moeller]
6882
6883 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6884 [Ulf Möller]
6885
6886 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6887 David Harris.
6888 [Bodo Moeller]
6889
6890 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6891 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6892 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6893 [Bodo Moeller]
6894
6895 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6896 [Bodo Moeller]
6897
6898 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6899 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6900 such as /usr/local/bin.
6901 [Bodo Moeller]
6902
6903 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6904 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6905
6906 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6907 [Ulf Möller]
6908
6909 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6910 extension adding in x509 utility.
6911 [Steve Henson]
6912
6913 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6914 [Ulf Möller]
6915
6916 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6917 prototypes.
6918 [Steve Henson]
6919
6920 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6921 [Ulf Möller]
6922
6923 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6924 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6925 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6926 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6927 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6928 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6929 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6930 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6931 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6932 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6933 [Steve Henson]
6934
6935 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6936 [Bodo Moeller]
6937
6938 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6939 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6940 [Bodo Moeller]
6941
6942 *) Fix some race conditions.
6943 [Bodo Moeller]
6944
6945 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6946 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6950 [Ulf Möller]
6951
6952 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6953 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6954 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6955 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6956
6957 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6958 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6959
6960 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6961 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6962 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6963
6964 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6965 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6966
6967 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6968 [Ulf Möller]
6969
6970 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6971 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6972
6973 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6974 [Ulf Möller]
6975
6976 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6977 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6978
6979 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6980 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6984 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6985 [Ben Laurie]
6986
6987 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6988 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6989 [Steve Henson]
6990
6991 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6992 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6993 [Steve Henson]
6994
6995 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6996 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6997 [Steve Henson]
6998
6999 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7000 support typesafe stack.
7001 [Steve Henson]
7002
7003 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7004 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7005
7006 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7007 old X509V3 handling code.
7008 [Steve Henson]
7009
7010 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7011 [Ulf Möller]
7012
7013 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7014 [Bodo Moeller]
7015
7016 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7017 [Ben Laurie]
7018
7019 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7020 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7021
7022 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7023 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7024 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7025 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7026 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7027 [Ben Laurie]
7028
7029 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7030 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7031 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7032 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7033 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7034
7035 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7036 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7037 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7038 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7039
7040 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7041 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7042 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7043 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7044
7045 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7046 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7047 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7048 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7049 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7050 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7051 [Bodo Moeller]
7052
7053 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7054 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7055 [Bodo Moeller]
7056
7057 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7058 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7059 [Ulf Möller]
7060
7061 *) Tweaks to Configure
7062 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7063
7064 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7065 yet...
7066 [Steve Henson]
7067
7068 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7069 [Ulf Möller]
7070
7071 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7072 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7073 [Ulf Möller]
7074
7075 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7076 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7077 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7078 [Bodo Moeller]
7079
7080 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7081 [Bodo Moeller]
7082
7083 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7084 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7088 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7089 to library startup routines.
7090 [Steve Henson]
7091
7092 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7093 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7094 codes along the way.
7095 [Steve Henson]
7096
7097 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7098 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7099 objects to objects.h
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7103 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7104 [Steve Henson]
7105
7106 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7107 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7108
7109 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7110 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7111 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7112
7113 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7114 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7115 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7116
7117 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7118 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7119 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7120
7121
7122 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7123
7124 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7125 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7126 [Ben Laurie]
7127
7128 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7129 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7130 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7131 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7132 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7133
7134 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7135 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7136 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7137 document.
7138 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7139
7140 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7141 Malloc, Free.
7142 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7143
7144 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7145 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7146
7147 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7148 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7149 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7150 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7151
7152 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7153 [Ben Laurie]
7154
7155 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7156 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7157 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7158 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7159 [Steve Henson]
7160
7161 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7162 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7163 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7164 [Steve Henson]
7165
7166 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7167 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7168 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7169 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7170 installed as `perl').
7171 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7172
7173 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7174 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7175
7176 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7177 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7178 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7179 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7180 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7184 [Ben Laurie]
7185
7186 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7187 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7188 is horrible: I feel ill....
7189 [Steve Henson]
7190
7191 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7192 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7193 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7194 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7195 [Steve Henson]
7196
7197 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7198 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7199
7200 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7201 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7202 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7204
7205 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7206 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7207 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7208 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7209 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7210 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7211 openssl_bio.xs.
7212 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7213
7214 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7215 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7216
7217 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7218 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7219
7220 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7221 [Ben Laurie]
7222
7223 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7224 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7225 in CRLs.
7226 [Steve Henson]
7227
7228 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7229 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7230 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7231 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7232 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7233 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7234 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7235 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7236 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7237 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7238 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7239
7240 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7241 [Ben Laurie]
7242
7243 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7244 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7245 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7246 for linking it into DSOs.
7247 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7248
7249 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7250 Fixed.
7251 [Ben Laurie]
7252
7253 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7254 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7255 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7256 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7257 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7259
7260 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7261 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7262 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7263 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7264 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7265 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7267
7268 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7269 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7270 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7271 encryption.
7272 [Ben Laurie]
7273
7274 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7275 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7276 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7277 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7278 [Steve Henson]
7279
7280 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7281 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7282 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7283 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7284 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7285 field as blank.
7286 [Steve Henson]
7287
7288 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7289 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7290 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7291 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7292 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7293
7294 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7295 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7296 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7297
7298 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7299 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7300
7301 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7302 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7303 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7304 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7305 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7306 [Steve Henson]
7307
7308 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7309 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7310 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7311 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7312 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7313 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7314 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7315 [Ben Laurie]
7316
7317 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7318 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
7319 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7320 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7321 [Ben Laurie]
7322
7323 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7324 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7325
7326 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7327 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7328 [Steve Henson]
7329
7330 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7331 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7332 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7333 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7334 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7335 (e.g. s_server).
7336 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7337 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7338 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7339 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7340 no way to reconfigure them.
7341 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7342 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7343 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7344 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7345 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7347
7348 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7349 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7350 recognized by the users.
7351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7352
7353 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7354 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7355 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7356 already masked variable.
7357 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7358
7359 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7360 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7361
7362 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7363 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7364 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7365 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7366
7367 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7368 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7370
7371 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7372 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7373 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7374 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7375 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7376 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7377 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7378 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7379 now, too.
7380 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7381
7382 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7383 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7384 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7385
7386 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7387 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7388 config file.
7389 [Steve Henson]
7390
7391 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7392 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7393
7394 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7395 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7396 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7397 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7398 [Ben Laurie]
7399
7400 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7401 [Steve Henson]
7402
7403 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7404 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7405
7406 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7407 [Ben Laurie]
7408
7409 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7410 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7411 [Steve Henson]
7412
7413 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7414 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7415 [Steve Henson]
7416
7417 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7418 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7419 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7420 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7421 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7422 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7423 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7424 Ben Laurie]
7425
7426 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7427 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7428
7429 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7430 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7431 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7432 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7433 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7434
7435 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7436 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7437 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7438 [Steve Henson]
7439
7440 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7441 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7442 an example.
7443 [Steve Henson]
7444
7445 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7446 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7447 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7448
7449 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7450 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7451 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7452 build instructions.
7453 [Steve Henson]
7454
7455 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7456 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7457 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7458 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7459 [Steve Henson]
7460
7461 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7462 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7463 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7464 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7465 [Ben Laurie]
7466
7467 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7468 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7469 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7470 so it wasn't spotted.
7471 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7472
7473 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7474 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7475 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7476 vectors if you have them.
7477 [Ben Laurie]
7478
7479 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7480 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7481 [Ben Laurie]
7482
7483 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7484 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7485 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7486 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7487 If you do a:
7488 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7489 it will update them.
7490 [Steve Henson]
7491
7492 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7493 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7494 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7495 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7496 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7497 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7498 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7499 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7500
7501 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7502 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7503 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7504 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7505 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7506 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7507 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7508 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7509 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7510 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7511
7512 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7513 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7514 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7515 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7516 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7517 [Steve Henson]
7518
7519 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7520 INTEGER code.
7521 [Steve Henson]
7522
7523 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7524 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7525
7526 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7527 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7528
7529 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7530 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7531 [Ben Laurie]
7532
7533 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7534 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7535
7536 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7537 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7538
7539 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7540 [Steve Henson]
7541
7542 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7543 few typos.
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7547 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7548 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7549 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7550
7551 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7552 [Steve Henson]
7553
7554 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7561 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7562 [Steve Henson]
7563
7564 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7565 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7566 CA extensions.
7567 [Steve Henson]
7568
7569 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7570 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7574 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7575 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7576 [Steve Henson]
7577
7578 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7579 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7580 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7581 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7582 properly to be processed.
7583 [Steve Henson]
7584
7585 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7586 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7587 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7588 [Ben Laurie]
7589
7590 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7591 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7592
7593 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7594 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7595 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7596 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7597 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7598 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7599 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7600 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7601 or delete all the .err files.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7605 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7606 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7607 to regenerate it if needed.
7608 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7609 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7610
7611 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7612 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7613
7614 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7615 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7616 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7617 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7618 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7619 [Steve Henson]
7620
7621 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7622 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7623
7624 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7625 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7626
7627 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7628 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7629 error, but didn't set one).
7630 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7631
7632 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7633 [Ben Laurie]
7634
7635 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7636 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7637 [Steve Henson]
7638
7639 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7640 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7641
7642 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7643 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7644 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7645 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7646 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7647 OID is not part of the table.
7648 [Steve Henson]
7649
7650 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7651 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7652 [Ben Laurie]
7653
7654 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7655 [Ben Laurie]
7656
7657 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7658 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7659 was "1234").
7660 [Steve Henson]
7661
7662 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7663 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7664
7665 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7666 NULL pointers.
7667 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7668
7669 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7670 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7671
7672 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7673 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7674
7675 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7676 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7677
7678 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7679 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7680 [Ben Laurie]
7681
7682 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7683 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7687 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7688
7689 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7690 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7691
7692 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7693 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7694
7695 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7696 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7697
7698 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7699 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7700 unused in the certificate verification process.
7701 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7702
7703 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7704 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7708 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7709 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7710
7711 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7712 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7713 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7714 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7715 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7716
7717 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7718 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7719 [Steve Henson]
7720
7721 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7722 [Steve Henson]
7723
7724 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7725 [Paul Sutton]
7726
7727 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7728 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7729
7730 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7731 [Ben Laurie]
7732
7733 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7734 [Ben Laurie]
7735
7736 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7737 [Ben Laurie]
7738
7739 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7740 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7741 other error libraries.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7745 [Steve Henson]
7746
7747 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7748 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7749 be read in.
7750 [Steve Henson]
7751
7752 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7753 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7754 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7755 the new set of documenation files.
7756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7757
7758 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7759 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7760 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7761 number of arguments.
7762 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7763
7764 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7765 [Ben Laurie]
7766
7767 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7768 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7769 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7770
7771 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7772 [Ben Laurie]
7773
7774 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7775 nextstep
7776 ncr-scde
7777 unixware-2.0
7778 unixware-2.0-pentium
7779 sco5-cc.
7780 [Ben Laurie]
7781
7782 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7783 before they are needed.
7784 [Ben Laurie]
7785
7786 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7787 [Ben Laurie]
7788
7789
7790 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7791
7792 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7793 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7795
7796 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7797 [Paul Sutton]
7798
7799 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7800 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7801 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7802
7803 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7804 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7805 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7806
7807 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7808 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7809 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7810
7811 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7812 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7813
7814 *) Updated the README file.
7815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7816
7817 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7818 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7820
7821 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7822 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7823 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7824
7825 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7826 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE

7829 o removed obsolete TODO file
7830 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7831 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7832
7833 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7834 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7835 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7836 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
7837 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
7838 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7840
7841 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7842 [Mark J. Cox]
7843
7844 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7845 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7846 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7847 summer 1998.
7848 [The OpenSSL Project]
7849
7850
7851 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

7861 [Eric A. Young]
7862
7863 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7864 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7865 available).
7866 [Eric A. Young]
7867
7868 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7869 binary structures
7870 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7871
7872 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7873 [Eric A. Young]
7874
7875 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7876 [Eric A. Young]
7877
7878 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7879 [Eric A. Young]
7880
7881 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7882 [Eric A. Young]
7883
7884 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7885 [Eric A. Young]
7886
7887 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7888 [Eric A. Young]
7889
7890 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7891 [Eric A. Young]
7892

7921 [Eric A. Young]
7922
7923 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7924 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7925 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7926 [Eric A. Young]
7927
7928 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7929 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7930 [Eric A. Young]
7931
7932 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7933 [Eric A. Young]
7934
