15
16 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
17
18 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
19 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
20 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
21 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
22 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.

24 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
25 (CVE-2018-0732)
26 [Guido Vranken]
27
28 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
29
30 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
31 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
32 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
33 recover the private key.
34
35 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
36 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
37 (CVE-2018-0737)
38 [Billy Brumley]
39
40 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
41 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
42 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
43 [Richard Levitte]
44
45 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
46 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
47 [Andy Polyakov]
48
49 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
50 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
51 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
52 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
53 to 2^-128.
54 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
55
56 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
57 [Kurt Roeckx]
58
59 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
60 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
61 [Matt Caswell]
62
63 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
64 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
65 [Richard Levitte]
66
67 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
68 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
69 are no longer allowed.
70 [Emilia Käsper]
71
72 Changes between 1.0.2n and 1.0.2o [27 Mar 2018]
73
74 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
75
76 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
77 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
78 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
79 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
80 so this is considered safe.
81
82 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
83 project.
84 (CVE-2018-0739)
85 [Matt Caswell]
86
87 Changes between 1.0.2m and 1.0.2n [7 Dec 2017]
88
89 *) Read/write after SSL object in error state
90
91 OpenSSL 1.0.2 (starting from version 1.0.2b) introduced an "error state"
92 mechanism. The intent was that if a fatal error occurred during a handshake
93 then OpenSSL would move into the error state and would immediately fail if
94 you attempted to continue the handshake. This works as designed for the
95 explicit handshake functions (SSL_do_handshake(), SSL_accept() and
96 SSL_connect()), however due to a bug it does not work correctly if
97 SSL_read() or SSL_write() is called directly. In that scenario, if the
98 handshake fails then a fatal error will be returned in the initial function
99 call. If SSL_read()/SSL_write() is subsequently called by the application
100 for the same SSL object then it will succeed and the data is passed without
101 being decrypted/encrypted directly from the SSL/TLS record layer.
102
103 In order to exploit this issue an application bug would have to be present
104 that resulted in a call to SSL_read()/SSL_write() being issued after having
105 already received a fatal error.
106
107 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google).
108 (CVE-2017-3737)
109 [Matt Caswell]
110
111 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
112
113 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
114 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
115 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
116 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
117 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
118 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
119 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
120 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
121 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
122 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
123
124 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
125 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
126
127 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
128 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
129 (CVE-2017-3738)
130 [Andy Polyakov]
131
132 Changes between 1.0.2l and 1.0.2m [2 Nov 2017]
133
134 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
135
136 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
137 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
138 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
139 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
140 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
141 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
142 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
143 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
144 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
145 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
146 key that is shared between multiple clients.
147
148 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
149 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
150
151 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
152 (CVE-2017-3736)
153 [Andy Polyakov]
154
155 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
156
157 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
158 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
159 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
160
161 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
162 (CVE-2017-3735)
163 [Rich Salz]
164
165 Changes between 1.0.2k and 1.0.2l [25 May 2017]
166
167 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
168 platform rather than 'mingw'.
169 [Richard Levitte]
170
171 Changes between 1.0.2j and 1.0.2k [26 Jan 2017]
172
173 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
174
175 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
176 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
177 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
178
179 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
180 (CVE-2017-3731)
181 [Andy Polyakov]
182
183 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
184
185 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
186 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
187 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
188 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
189 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
190 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
191 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
192 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
193 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
194 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
195 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
196 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
197 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
198
199 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
200 (CVE-2017-3732)
201 [Andy Polyakov]
202
203 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
204
205 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
206 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
207 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
208 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
209 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
210 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
211 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
212 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
213 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
214 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
215 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
216 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
217 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
218 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
219
220 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
221 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
222 providing reproducible case.
223 (CVE-2016-7055)
224 [Andy Polyakov]
225
226 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
227 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
228 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
229 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
230 [Matt Caswell]
231
232 Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
233
234 *) Missing CRL sanity check
235
236 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
237 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
238 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
239
240 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
241 (CVE-2016-7052)
242 [Matt Caswell]
243
244 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
245
246 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
247
248 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
249 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
250 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
251 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
252 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
253 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
254 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
255
256 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
257 (CVE-2016-6304)
258 [Matt Caswell]
259
260 *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
261 HIGH to MEDIUM.
262
263 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
264 Leurent (INRIA)
265 (CVE-2016-2183)
266 [Rich Salz]
267
268 *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
269
270 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
271 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
272 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
273 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
274 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
275
276 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
277 on most platforms.
278
279 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
280 (CVE-2016-6303)
281 [Stephen Henson]
282
283 *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
284
285 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
286 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
287 ultimately crash.
288
289 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
290 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
291
292 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
293 (CVE-2016-6302)
294 [Stephen Henson]
295
296 *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
297
298 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
299 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
300 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
301 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
302 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
303
304 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
305 (CVE-2016-2182)
306 [Stephen Henson]
307
308 *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
309
310 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
311 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
312 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
313 presented.
314
315 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
316 (CVE-2016-2180)
317 [Stephen Henson]
318
319 *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
320
321 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
322
323 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
324 "p + len > limit"
325
326 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
327 limit == p + SIZE
328
329 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
330 message).
331
332 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
333 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
334 undefined behaviour.
335
336 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
337 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
338 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
339
340 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
341 (CVE-2016-2177)
342 [Matt Caswell]
343
344 *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
345
346 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
347 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
348 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
349 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
350 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
351
352 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
353 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
354 Adelaide and NICTA).
355 (CVE-2016-2178)
356 [César Pereida]
357
358 *) DTLS buffered message DoS
359
360 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
361 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
362 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
363 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
364 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
365 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
366 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
367 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
368 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
369 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
370
371 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
372 (CVE-2016-2179)
373 [Matt Caswell]
374
375 *) DTLS replay protection DoS
376
377 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
378 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
379 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
380 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
381 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
382 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
383 service for a specific DTLS connection.
384
385 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
386 (CVE-2016-2181)
387 [Matt Caswell]
388
389 *) Certificate message OOB reads
390
391 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
392 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
393 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
394 platforms.
395
396 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
397 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
398 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
399
400 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
401 (CVE-2016-6306)
402 [Stephen Henson]
403
404 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
405
406 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
407
408 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
409 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
410 AES-NI.
411
412 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
413 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
414 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
415 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
416 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
417 bytes.
418
419 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
420 (CVE-2016-2107)
421 [Kurt Roeckx]
422
423 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
424
425 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
426 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
427 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
428 corruption.
429
430 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
431 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
432 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
433 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
434 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
435 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
436
437 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
438 (CVE-2016-2105)
439 [Matt Caswell]
440
441 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
442
443 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
444 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
445 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
446 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
447 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
448 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
449 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
450 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
451 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
452 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
453 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
454 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
455 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
456 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
457 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
458 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
459
460 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
461 (CVE-2016-2106)
462 [Matt Caswell]
463
464 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
465
466 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
467 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
468 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
469
470 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
471 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
472 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
473 applications are not affected.
474
475 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
476 (CVE-2016-2109)
477 [Stephen Henson]
478
479 *) EBCDIC overread
480
481 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
482 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
483 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
484
485 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
486 (CVE-2016-2176)
487 [Matt Caswell]
488
489 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
490 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
491 [Todd Short]
492
493 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
494 default.
495 [Kurt Roeckx]
496
497 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
498 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
499 [Kurt Roeckx]
500
501 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
502
503 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
504 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
505 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
506 [Viktor Dukhovni]
507
508 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
509 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
510 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
511 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
512 will need to explicitly call either of:
513
514 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
515 or
516 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
517
518 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
519 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
520 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key

526 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
527
528 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
529 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
530 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
531 considered rare.
532
533 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
534 libFuzzer.
535 (CVE-2016-0705)
536 [Stephen Henson]
537
538 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
539
540 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
541
542 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
543 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
544 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
545 is configured.
546
547 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
548 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
549 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
550 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
551 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
552 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
553 that of a valid user.
554 (CVE-2016-0798)
555 [Emilia Käsper]
556
557 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
558
559 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
560 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
561 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
562 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
563 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
564 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
565 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
566 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
567 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
568 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
569 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
570
571 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
572 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
573 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
574 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
575 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
576
577 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
578 (CVE-2016-0797)
579 [Matt Caswell]
580
581 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
582
583 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
584 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
585 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
586
587 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
588 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
589 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
590 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
591 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
592 also occur.
593
594 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
595 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
596 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
597 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
598 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
599 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
600 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
601 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
602 as command line arguments.
603
604 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
605 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
606 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
607
608 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

611
612 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
613
614 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
615 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
616 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
617 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
618 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
619
620 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
621 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

630 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

632
633 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
634
635 *) DH small subgroups
636
637 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
638 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
639 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
640 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
641 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
642 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
643 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
644 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
645 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
646 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
647
648 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
649 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
650 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
651 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
652 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
653
654 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
655 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
656 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
657 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
658
659 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
660 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
661
662 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

664 [Matt Caswell]
665
666 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
667
668 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
669 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
670 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
671 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

682
683 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
684
685 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
686 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
687 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
688 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
689 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
690 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
691 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
692 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
693 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
694 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
695 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
696 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

700 [Andy Polyakov]
701
702 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
703
704 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
705 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
706 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
707 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
708 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
709 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
710 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
711 authentication.

721 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
722 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

741 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
742
743 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
744 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
745 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
746 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
747 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
748 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

772 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
773
774 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
775 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
776 field.
777
778 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
779 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
780 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
781 client authentication enabled.
782
783 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.

785 [Andy Polyakov]
786
787 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
788
789 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
790 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
791 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
792 time string.
793
794 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
795 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
796 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
797 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
798 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
799 callbacks.

810 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.

837
838 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
839 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
840 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
841 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
842 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
843 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.

857
858 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an

865 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
866
867 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
868
869 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
870 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
871 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
872 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
873 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
874 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
875 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
876 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
877
878 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
879 (CVE-2015-0290)
880 [Matt Caswell]
881
882 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
883
884 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
885 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
886 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
887 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
888 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
889 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
890 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
891 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
892 server.

898 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
899
900 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
901 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
902 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
903 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
904 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
905 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
906 (CVE-2015-0286)
907 [Stephen Henson]
908
909 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
910
911 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
912 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
913 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
914 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
915 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
916 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
917 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

921 [Stephen Henson]
922
923 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
924
925 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
926 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
927 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
928
929 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
930 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
931 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
932 not affected.

934 [Stephen Henson]
935
936 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
937
938 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
939 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
940 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
941
942 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
943 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
944 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.

959 [Emilia Käsper]
960
961 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
962
963 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
964 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
965 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
966 (CVE-2015-1787)
967 [Matt Caswell]
968
969 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
970
971 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
972 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
973 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
974 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
975 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
976 SSL_client_methodv23)
977 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
978 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
979
980 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
981 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
982 output may be predictable.
983
984 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
985 succeed on an unpatched platform:
986
987 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

991 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
992
993 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
994 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
995 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
996 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
997 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
998 sources. This scenario is considered rare.

1039 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1040 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1041 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1042 [Bodo Moeller]
1043
1044 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1045 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1046 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1047 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1048 [Andy Polyakov]
1049
1050 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1051 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1052
1053 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1054 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1055 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1056 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1057 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1058
1059 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1060 [Andy Polyakov]
1061
1062 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1063 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1064 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1065 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1066
1067 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1068 RSAZ.
1069 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1070
1071 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1072 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1073 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1074 for TLS encrypt.
1075
1076 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1077 [Andy Polyakov]
1078
1079 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1080 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1081 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1082 [Steve Henson]
1083
1084 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1085 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1086 [Steve Henson]
1087
1088 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1089 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1090 [Steve Henson]
1091
1092 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1093 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1094 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1095 algorithms and include tests cases.
1096 [Steve Henson]
1097
1098 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1099 structure.
1100 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1101
1102 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1103 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1104 [Steve Henson]
1105
1106 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1107 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1108 summary of the connection parameters.
1109 [Steve Henson]
1110
1111 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1112 of connection parameters.
1113 [Steve Henson]
1114
1115 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1116 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1117
1118 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1119 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1120 [Steve Henson]
1121
1122 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1123 [Steve Henson]
1124
1125 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1126 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1130 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1131 [Steve Henson]
1132
1133 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1134 certificates.
1135 [Steve Henson]
1136
1137 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1138 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1139 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1140 [Steve Henson]
1141
1142 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1143 [Steve Henson]
1144
1145 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1146 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1147 [Steve Henson]
1148
1149 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1150 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1151 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1152 tracing.
1153 [Steve Henson]
1154
1155 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1156 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1157 [Steve Henson]
1158
1159 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1160 OID NID.
1161 [Steve Henson]
1162
1163 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1164 client to OpenSSL.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1168 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1169 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1170 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1171 [Steve Henson]
1172
1173 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1174 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1175 [Steve Henson]
1176
1177 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1178 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1179 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1180 comparison.
1181 [Steve Henson]
1182
1183 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1184 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1185 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1186 use the certificate.
1187 [Steve Henson]
1188
1189 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1190 [Steve Henson]
1191
1192 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1193 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1194 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1195 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1196 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1197 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1198 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1199
1200 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1201 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1202
1203 [Steve Henson]
1204
1205 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1206 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1207 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1208 [Steve Henson]
1209
1210 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1211 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1212 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1213 supported signature algorithms.
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1217 [Steve Henson]
1218
1219 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1220 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1221 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1222 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1223 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1224 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1225 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1226 [Steve Henson]
1227
1228 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1229 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1230 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1231 to have similar checks in it.
1232
1233 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1234 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1235 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1236 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1237 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1238 [Steve Henson]
1239
1240 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1241 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1242 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1243 shared signature algorithms.
1244 [Steve Henson]
1245
1246 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1247 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1248 to support them.
1249 [Steve Henson]
1250
1251 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1252 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1253 it couldn't be removed.
1254 [Steve Henson]
1255
1256 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1257 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1258 [Steve Henson]
1259
1260 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1261 functions. Add manual page.
1262 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1263
1264 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1265 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1266 a certificate.
1267 [Steve Henson]
1268
1269 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1270 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1271
1272 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1273 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1274 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1275 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1276 utility) or reject.
1277 [Steve Henson]
1278
1279 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1280 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1281 [Steve Henson]
1282
1283 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1284 platform support for Linux and Android.
1285 [Andy Polyakov]
1286
1287 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1288 [Andy Polyakov]
1289
1290 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1291 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1292 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1293 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1294 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1295 [Steve Henson]
1296
1297 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1298 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1299 the new parameter format automatically.
1300 [Steve Henson]
1301
1302 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1303 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1304 [Steve Henson]
1305
1306 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1307 [Steve Henson]
1308
1309 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1310 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1311 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1312 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1313 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1314 [Steve Henson]
1315
1316 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1317 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1318 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1319 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1320 to set list of supported curves.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1324 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1325 to print out received values.
1326 [Steve Henson]
1327
1328 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1329 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1330 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1331 [Steve Henson]
1332
1333 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1334 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1335 [Steve Henson]
1336
1337 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1338 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1339 [Steve Henson]
1340
1341 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1342 certificates.
1343 [Steve Henson]
1344
1345 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1346 the certificate.
1347 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1348 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1349 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1350
1351 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1352
1353 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1354 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1355
1356 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1357
1358 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1359 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1360 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1361 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1362 (CVE-2014-3571)
1363 [Steve Henson]
1364
1365 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1366 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1367 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1368 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1369 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1370 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1371 (CVE-2015-0206)
1372 [Matt Caswell]
1373
1374 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1375 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1376 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1377 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1378 (CVE-2014-3569)
1379 [Kurt Roeckx]
1380
1381 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1382 ECDH ciphersuites.
1383
1384 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1385 reporting this issue.
1386 (CVE-2014-3572)
1387 [Steve Henson]
1388
1389 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1390 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1391 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1392 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1393 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1394 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1395 (CVE-2015-0204)
1396 [Steve Henson]
1397
1398 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1399 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1400 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1401 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1402 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1403 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1404 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1405 this issue.
1406 (CVE-2015-0205)
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1410 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1411
1412 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1413 and can vary with the CTX.
1414 [Adam Langley]
1415
1416 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1417
1418 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1419 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1420 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1421 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1422 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1423
1424 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1425
1426 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1427 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1428
1429 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1430
1431 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1432 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1433 errors for some broken certificates.
1434
1435 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1436
1437 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1438
1439 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1440 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1441
1442 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1443 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1444 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1445 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1446
1447 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1448 of the OpenSSL core team.
1449
1450 (CVE-2014-8275)
1451 [Steve Henson]
1452
1453 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1454 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1455 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1456 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1457 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1458 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1459 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1460 the OpenSSL core team.
1461 (CVE-2014-3570)
1462 [Andy Polyakov]
1463
1464 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1465 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1466 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1467 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1468 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1469
1470 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1471 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1472 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1473 [Emilia Käsper]
1474
1475 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1476 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1477 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1478 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1479 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1480
1481 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1482 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1483 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1484 [Emilia Käsper]
1485
1486 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1487
1488 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1489
1490 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1491 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1492 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1493 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1494 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1495 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1496 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1497
1498 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1499 (CVE-2014-3513)
1500 [OpenSSL team]
1501
1502 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1503
1504 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1505 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1506 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1507 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1508 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1509 attack.
1510 (CVE-2014-3567)
1511 [Steve Henson]
1512
1513 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1514
1515 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1516 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1517 configured to send them.
1518 (CVE-2014-3568)
1519 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1520
1521 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1522 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1523 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1524 (CVE-2014-3566)
1525 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1526
1527 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1528
1529 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1530 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1531 DigestInfo structures.
1532
1533 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1534
1535 [Steve Henson]
1536
1537 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1538
1539 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1540 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1541 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1542
1543 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1544 Group for discovering this issue.
1545 (CVE-2014-3512)
1546 [Steve Henson]
1547
1548 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1549 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1550 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1551 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1552 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1553
1554 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1555 researching this issue.
1556 (CVE-2014-3511)
1557 [David Benjamin]
1558
1559 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1560 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1561 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1562 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1563
1564 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1565 issue.
1566 (CVE-2014-3510)
1567 [Emilia Käsper]
1568
1569 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1570 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1571 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1572 (CVE-2014-3507)
1573 [Adam Langley]
1574
1575 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1576 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1577 Denial of Service attack.
1578 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1579 (CVE-2014-3506)
1580 [Adam Langley]
1581
1582 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1583 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1584 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1585 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1586 this issue.
1587 (CVE-2014-3505)
1588 [Adam Langley]
1589
1590 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1591 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1592 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1593
1594 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1595 issue.
1596 (CVE-2014-3509)
1597 [Gabor Tyukasz]
1598
1599 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1600 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1601 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1602 Denial of Service attack.
1603
1604 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1605 discovering and researching this issue.
1606 (CVE-2014-5139)
1607 [Steve Henson]
1608
1609 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1610 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1611 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1612 output to the attacker.
1613
1614 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1615 (CVE-2014-3508)
1616 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1619 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1620 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1621 [Bodo Moeller]
1622
1623 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1624
1625 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1626 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1627 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1628
1629 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1630 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1631 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1634 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1635 in a DoS attack.
1636
1637 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1638 (CVE-2014-0221)
1639 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1640
1641 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1642 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1643 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1644 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1645
1646 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1647 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1648
1649 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1650 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1651
1652 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1653 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1654 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1655
1656 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1657 compilation flags.
1658 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1659
1660 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1661 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1662 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1663
1664 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1665 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1666
1667 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1668
1669 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1670 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1671 server.
1672
1673 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1674 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1675 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1676 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1677
1678 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1679 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1680 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1681 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1682
1683 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1684 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1685 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1686
1687 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1688
1689 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1690 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1691 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1692 is at least 512 bytes long.
1693
1694 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1695
1696 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1697
1698 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1699 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1700 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1701 (CVE-2013-4353)
1702
1703 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1704 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1705 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1706 [Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1709 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1710 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1711 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1712 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1713 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1714 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1715
1716 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1717
1718 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1719 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1720 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1721
1722 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1723
1724 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1725
1726 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1727 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1728 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1729
1730 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1731 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1732 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1733 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1734 (CVE-2013-0169)
1735 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1736
1737 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1738 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1739 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1740 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1741 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1742 (CVE-2012-2686)
1743 [Adam Langley]
1744
1745 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1746 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1750 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1751
1752 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1753 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1754 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1755 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1756 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1757
1758 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1762 if renegotiating.
1763 [Steve Henson]
1764
1765 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1766
1767 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1768 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1769
1770 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1771 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1772 (CVE-2012-2333)
1773 [Steve Henson]
1774
1775 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1776 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1777 [Steve Henson]
1778
1779 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1780 approved.
1781 [Steve Henson]
1782
1783 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1784
1785 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1786 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1787 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1788 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1789 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1790 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1791 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1792 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1793 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1794 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1795 [Steve Henson]
1796
1797 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1798 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1799 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1800 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1801 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1802 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1803 client side.
1804 [Andy Polyakov]
1805
1806 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1807
1808 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1809 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1810 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1811
1812 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1813 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1814 (CVE-2012-2110)
1815 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1816
1817 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1818 [Adam Langley]
1819
1820 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1821 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1822
1823 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1824 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1825 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1826 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1827 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1828 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1829 Most broken servers should now work.
1830 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1831 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1832 [Steve Henson]
1833
1834 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1835 [Andy Polyakov]
1836
1837 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1838
1839 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1840 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1841 [Steve Henson]
1842
1843 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1844 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1845 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1846 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1847 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1851 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1852 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1853 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1854 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1855 [Steve Henson]
1856
1857 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1858 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1859
1860 *) Add support for SCTP.
1861 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1862
1863 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1864 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1865
1866 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1867
1868 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1869 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1870 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1871 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1872 - s390x: z196 support;
1873 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1874
1875 [Andy Polyakov]
1876
1877 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1878 (removal of unnecessary code)
1879 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1880
1881 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1882 [Eric Rescorla]
1883
1884 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1885 [Eric Rescorla]
1886
1887 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1888 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1889 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1890 by Google.
1891 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1892
1893 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1894 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1895 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1896 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1897 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1898
1899 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1900 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1901 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1902
1903 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1904 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1905 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1906
1907 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1908 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1909 implementations).
1910 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1911
1912 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1913 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1914 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1915 [Steve Henson]
1916
1917 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1918 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1919 particular PSS.
1920 [Steve Henson]
1921
1922 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1923 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1924 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1925 [Steve Henson]
1926
1927 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1928 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1929 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1930 the appropriate parameters.
1931 [Steve Henson]
1932
1933 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1934 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1935 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1936 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1937 against a number of sample certificates.
1938 [Steve Henson]
1939
1940 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1941 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1942
1943 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1944 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1945
1946 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1947 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1948 parameters r, s.
1949 [Steve Henson]
1950
1951 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1952 RFC3211.
1953 [Steve Henson]
1954
1955 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1956 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1957 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1958 password based CMS).
1959 [Steve Henson]
1960
1961 *) Session-handling fixes:
1962 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1963 but also support Session Tickets.
1964 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1965 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1966 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1967 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1968 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1969 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1970
1971 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1972 [Bodo Moeller]
1973
1974 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1975
1976 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1977 [Andy Polyakov]
1978
1979 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1980 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1981 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1982 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1983 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1984 [Steve Henson]
1985
1986 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1987 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1988 [Steve Henson]
1989
1990 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1991 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1992 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1993 [Steve Henson]
1994
1995 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1996 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1997 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1998 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1999 [Steve Henson]
2000
2001 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2002 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2003 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2004 [Steve Henson]
2005
2006 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2007 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2008
2009 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2010 [Steve Henson]
2011
2012 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2013 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2014 [Steve Henson]
2015
2016 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2017 [Steve Henson]
2018
2019 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2020 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2021 [Steve Henson]
2022
2023 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2024 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2025 [Steve Henson]
2026
2027 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2028 [Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2031 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2032 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2033 [Steve Henson]
2034
2035 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2036 [Steve Henson]
2037
2038 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2039 [Steve Henson]
2040
2041 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2042 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2046 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2047 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2048 [Steve Henson]
2049
2050 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2051 [Steve Henson]
2052
2053 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2054 and enable MD5.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2058 FIPS modules versions.
2059 [Steve Henson]
2060
2061 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2062 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2063 until after the certificate request message is received.
2064 [Steve Henson]
2065
2066 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2067 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2068 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2069 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2070 [Steve Henson]
2071
2072 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2073 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2074 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2075 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2076 [Steve Henson]
2077
2078 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2079 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2080 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2081 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2082 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2083 and version checking.
2084 [Steve Henson]
2085
2086 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2087 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2088 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2089 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2090 [Steve Henson]
2091
2092 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
2093 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
2094 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
2095 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
2096 Ben Laurie]
2097
2098 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2099 [Steve Henson]
2100
2101 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2102 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2103 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2104
2105 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2106 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2107 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2111 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2114 a few changes are required:
2115
2116 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2117 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2118 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2119 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2120 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2121 [Steve Henson]
2122
2123 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2124
2125 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2126 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2127 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2128 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2129 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2130 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2131 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2132 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2133 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2134 [Steve Henson]
2135
2136 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2137 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2138 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2139 [Steve Henson]
2140
2141 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2142
2143 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2144 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2145 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2146 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2147 [Antonio Martin]
2148
2149 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2150
2151 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2152 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2153 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2154 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2155 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2156 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2157 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2158 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2159 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2160 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2161 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2162 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2163 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2164
2165 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2166 (CVE-2011-4576)
2167 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2168
2169 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2170 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2171 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2172 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2173
2174 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2175 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2176
2177 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2178 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2179 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2180 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2181
2182 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2183 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2184
2185 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2186 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2187
2188 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2189 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2190
2191 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2192 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2193 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2194
2195 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2196 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2197 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2198
2199 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2200 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2201 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2202 the last update always remained unused).
2203 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2204
2205 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2206 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2207
2208 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2209
2210 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2211 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2212 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2213
2214 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2215 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2216 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2217
2218 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2219 [Bodo Moeller]
2220
2221 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2222 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2223 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2224 [Steve Henson]
2225
2226 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2227 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2228
2229 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2230
2231 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2232
2233 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2234
2235 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2236 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2237
2238 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2239 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2240 ambiguous.
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2244
2245 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2246 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2247 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2248 [Steve Henson]
2249
2250 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2251 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2252 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2253 [Ben Laurie]
2254
2255 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2256
2257 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2258 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2259 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2263 a DLL.
2264 [Steve Henson]
2265
2266 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2267
2268 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2269 (CVE-2010-1633)
2270 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2271
2272 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2273
2274 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2275 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2276 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2280 [Steve Henson]
2281
2282 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2283 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2284 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2285
2286 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2287 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2288 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2289 [Steve Henson]
2290
2291 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2292 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2293 [Steve Henson]
2294
2295 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2296 some responders need this.
2297 [Steve Henson]
2298
2299 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2300 correctly.
2301 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2302
2303 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2304 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2305 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2306 [Steve Henson]
2307
2308 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2309 [Steve Henson]
2310
2311 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2312 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2313 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2314 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2315 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2316 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2317 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2318 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2322 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2323 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2324 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2325
2326 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2327 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2328
2329 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2330 be used on C++.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2334 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2335 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2336 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2337 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2338 attempting to work them out.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2342 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2343 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2344 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2345 [Steve Henson]
2346
2347 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2348 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2349 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2350 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2351 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2352 [Steve Henson]
2353
2354 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2355 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2356 you can do:
2357
2358 openssl sha256 foo
2359
2360 as well as:
2361
2362 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2363
2364 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2365
2366 [Steve Henson]
2367
2368 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2369 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2370
2371 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2372 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2373
2374 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2375 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2376 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2377 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2378 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2382 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2383 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2387 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2388 [Steve Henson]
2389
2390 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2391 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2392
2393 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2394 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2398 [Ben Laurie]
2399
2400 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2401 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2402 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2403 CONF_VALUE.
2404 [Ben Laurie]
2405
2406 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2407 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2408 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2409 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2410 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2411 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2412 [Steve Henson]
2413
2414 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2415 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2416
2417 This work was sponsored by Google.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2421 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2422 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2423 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2424 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2425 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2426 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2427 default.
2428
2429 This work was sponsored by Google.
2430 [Steve Henson]
2431
2432 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2433
2434 This work was sponsored by Google.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2438 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2439 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2440 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2441
2442 This work was sponsored by Google.
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2446 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2447 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2448 CRL functionality in future.
2449
2450 This work was sponsored by Google.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2454
2455 This work was sponsored by Google.
2456 [Steve Henson]
2457
2458 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2459 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2460
2461 This work was sponsored by Google.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2465 and URI types are currently supported.
2466
2467 This work was sponsored by Google.
2468 [Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2471 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2472 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2473 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2474 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2475 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2476 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2477 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2478
2479 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2480 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2481 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2482
2483 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2484 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2485 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2486 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2487
2488 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2489 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2490 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2491 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2492 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2493 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2494 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2495 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2496 of &errno.)
2497 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2498
2499 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2500 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2501 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2502
2503 This work was sponsored by Google.
2504 [Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2507 [Ben Laurie]
2508
2509 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2510 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2511 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2512 [Ben Laurie]
2513
2514 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2515 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2516 [Nick Mathewson]
2517
2518 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2519 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2520 [Ben Laurie]
2521
2522 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2523 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2524 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2525 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2526 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2527 content types and variants.
2528 [Steve Henson]
2529
2530 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2531 [Steve Henson]
2532
2533 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2534 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2535 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2536 files from the associated perl scripts.
2537 [Steve Henson]
2538
2539 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2540 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2541 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2542
2543 *) s390x assembler pack.
2544 [Andy Polyakov]
2545
2546 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2547 "family."
2548 [Andy Polyakov]
2549
2550 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2551 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2552 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2553 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2554 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2555 to use. For example, specify an option
2556
2557 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2558
2559 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2560 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2561 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2562 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2563 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2564 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2565
2566 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2567 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2568 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2569 return non-zero for success.
2570
2571 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2572 by using
2573
2574 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2575 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2576
2577 where
2578
2579 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2580 void *arg;
2581
2582 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2583 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2584 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2585 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2586 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2587 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2588 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2589 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2590 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2591
2592 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2593 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2594 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2595 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2596 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2597 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2598
2599 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2600 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2601 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2602 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2603 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2604 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2605
2606 [Bodo Moeller]
2607
2608 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2609 MAC.
2610
2611 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2612
2613 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2614 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2615 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2616 supported.
2617
2618 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2619 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2620 SSL_SESSION.
2621
2622 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2623 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2624 with no application modification.
2625
2626 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2627 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2628
2629 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2630 or server extensions to be examined.
2631
2632 This work was sponsored by Google.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2636 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2637 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2640 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2641 ciphersuite support.
2642 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2643
2644 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2645 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2646 to output in BER and PEM format.
2647 [Steve Henson]
2648
2649 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2650 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2651 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2652 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2653 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2654 [Steve Henson]
2655
2656 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2657 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2658 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2659 utility.
2660 [Steve Henson]
2661
2662 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2663 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2664 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2665 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2666 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2667 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2668 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2669 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2670 enabled again.
2671
2672 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2673 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2674 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2675 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2676
2677 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2678 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2679 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2680 the default order.
2681 [Bodo Moeller]
2682
2683 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2684 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2685 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2686 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2687 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2688 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2689 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2690 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2691 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2692
2693 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2694 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2695 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2696 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2697 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2698 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2699 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2700 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2701 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2702 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2703 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2704 kinds of kludges.
2705
2706 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2707 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2708 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2709
2710 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2711 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2712 "CAMELLIA256".
2713 [Bodo Moeller]
2714
2715 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2716 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2717 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2718 [Nils Larsch]
2719
2720 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2721 it yet and it is largely untested.
2722 [Steve Henson]
2723
2724 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2725 [Nils Larsch]
2726
2727 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2728 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2729 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2730 [Steve Henson]
2731
2732 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2733 [Andy Polyakov]
2734
2735 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2736 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2737 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2738 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2739 [Steve Henson]
2740
2741 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2742 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2743 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2744 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2745 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2746 [Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2749 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2750 [Cryptocom]
2751
2752 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2753 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2754 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2755 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2759 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2760 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2761 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2762 [Steve Henson]
2763
2764 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2765 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2766 [Steve Henson]
2767
2768 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2769 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2770 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2771 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2772 [Steve Henson]
2773
2774 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2775 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2776 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2777 [Steve Henson]
2778
2779 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2780 utility.
2781 [Steve Henson]
2782
2783 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2784 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2785 [Steve Henson]
2786
2787 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2788 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2789 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2790 if necessary.
2791 [Steve Henson]
2792
2793 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2794 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2795 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2796 [Steve Henson]
2797
2798 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2799 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2800 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2801 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2802 [Steve Henson]
2803
2804 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2805 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2806 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2807 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2808 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2809 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2810 [Douglas Stebila]
2811
2812 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2813 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2814 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2815 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2816 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2817
2818 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2819 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2820 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2821 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2822 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2823 protocol).
2824
2825 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2826 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2827 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2828 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2829
2830 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2831 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2832 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2833 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2834 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2835
2836 aECDH - ECDH cert
2837 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
2838 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
2839
2840 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2841 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2842
2843 [Bodo Moeller]
2844
2845 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2846 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2847 [Steve Henson]
2848
2849 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2850 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2851 [Steve Henson]
2852
2853 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2854 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2855 functional reference processing.
2856 [Steve Henson]
2857
2858 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2859 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2860 process.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2864 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2865 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2869 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2870 application to support multiple signers.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2874 digest MAC.
2875 [Steve Henson]
2876
2877 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2878 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2879 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2880 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2881 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2882 [Steve Henson]
2883
2884 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2885 new API.
2886 [Steve Henson]
2887
2888 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2889 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2890 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2891 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2892 a no op.
2893 [Steve Henson]
2894
2895 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2896 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2897 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2898 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2899 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2900 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2901 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2902 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2906 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2907 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2908 between digests and public key types.
2909 [Steve Henson]
2910
2911 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2912 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2913 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2914 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2918 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2919 key ASN1 method.
2920 [Steve Henson]
2921
2922 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2923 [Steve Henson]
2924
2925 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2926 pkeyutl.
2927 [Steve Henson]
2928
2929 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2930 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2931 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2932 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2933 pkey, genpkey.
2934 [Steve Henson]
2935
2936 *) BeOS support.
2937 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2938
2939 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2940 manual pages.
2941 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2942
2943 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2944 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2945 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2946 functionality for RSA.
2947 [Steve Henson]
2948
2949 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2950 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2951 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2952 [Steve Henson]
2953
2954 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2955 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2959 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2960 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2961 [Steve Henson]
2962
2963 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2964 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2965 [Douglas Stebila]
2966
2967 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2968 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2969 [Steve Henson]
2970
2971 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2972 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2973 type.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2977 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2978 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2979 structure.
2980 [Steve Henson]
2981
2982 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2983 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2984 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2985 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2986 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2987 of public and private key structures.
2988 [Steve Henson]
2989
2990 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2991 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2992 [Douglas Stebila]
2993
2994 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2995 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2996 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2997
2998 New ciphersuites:
2999 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3000 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3001
3002 New functions:
3003 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3004 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3005 SSL_get_psk_identity
3006 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3007
3008 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3009
3010 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3011 and response verification functionality.
3012 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3013
3014 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3015 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3016 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3017 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3018 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3019 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3020 server_name extension.
3021
3022 New functions (subject to change):
3023
3024 SSL_get_servername()
3025 SSL_get_servername_type()
3026 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3027
3028 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3029
3030 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3031 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3032 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3033 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3034 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3035
3036 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3037
3038 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3039 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3040 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3041 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3042 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3043 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3044 option.
3045
3046 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3047
3048 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3049 [Andy Polyakov]
3050
3051 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3052 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3053 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3054 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3055 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3056 [Andy Polyakov]
3057
3058 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3059 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3060 macro.
3061 [Bodo Moeller]
3062
3063 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3064 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3065 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3066 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3067 [Andy Polyakov]
3068
3069 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3070 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3071 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3072 using the maximum available value.
3073 [Steve Henson]
3074
3075 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3076 in addition to the text details.
3077 [Bodo Moeller]
3078
3079 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3080 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3081 handle several customised structures at all.
3082 [Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3085 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3086 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3087 [Steve Henson]
3088
3089 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3090 [Steve Henson]
3091
3092 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3093 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3094 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3095 [Steve Henson]
3096
3097 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3098 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3099 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3100 [Nils Larsch]
3101
3102 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3103 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3104 all fields.
3105 [Steve Henson]
3106
3107 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3111 [NTT]
3112
3113 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3114
3115 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3116 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3117 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3118 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3119 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3120 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3121 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3122 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3123
3124 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3125 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3126 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3127
3128 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3129
3130 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3131 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3132
3133 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3134 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3135 [Bodo Moeller]
3136
3137 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3138 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3139 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3140 [Steve Henson]
3141
3142 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3143 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3144 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3145 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3146 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3147 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3151 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3152 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3156 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3157 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3158 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3159 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3160 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3161 CVE-2009-4355.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3165 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3166 [Bodo Moeller]
3167
3168 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3169 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3170 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3174 [Steve Henson]
3175
3176 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3177 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3178 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3179 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3180 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3181 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3182 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3183 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3184 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3185 [Steve Henson]
3186
3187 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3188 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3189 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3193 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3197 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3198 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3199 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3200 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3201 know what you are doing.
3202 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3203
3204 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3205 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3206 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3207 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3208 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3209 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3210 the handshake.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3214 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3215 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3216 correctly.
3217 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3218
3219 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3220 warnings in other configurations.
3221 [Steve Henson]
3222
3223 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3224 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3225 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3226 systems need.
3227 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3228
3229 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3230 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3231 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3232
3233 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3234 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3235 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3236 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3237 [Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3240 and restored.
3241 [Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3244 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3245 clash.
3246 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3247
3248 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3249 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3250 other than a simple chain.
3251 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3252
3253 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3254 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3255 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3256 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3257 [Steve Henson]
3258
3259 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3260 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3261 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3262 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3263 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3264 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3265 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3266 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3267 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3268
3269 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3270 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3271 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3272 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3273 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
3274 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3275 (CVE-2009-1377)
3276 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3277
3278 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3279 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3280 [Daniel Mentz]
3281
3282 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3283 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3284
3285 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3286 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3287
3288 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3289
3290 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3291 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3292 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3293 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3294 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3295 you're doing.
3296 [Ben Laurie]
3297
3298 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3299
3300 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3301 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3302 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3303 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3304
3305 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3306 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3307 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3308 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3309
3310 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3311 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3312 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3316 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3317 level.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3321 to handle some structures.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3325 for a '\n'
3326 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3327
3328 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3329 [Matthieu Herrb]
3330
3331 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3335 [Steve Henson]
3336
3337 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3338 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3339 chosen compiler.
3340 [Ben Laurie]
3341
3342 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3343
3344 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3345 (CVE-2008-5077).
3346 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3347
3348 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3349 [Ben Laurie]
3350
3351 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3352 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3353 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3354 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3355
3356 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3357 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3358
3359 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3360 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3361 [Bodo Moeller]
3362
3363 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3364 s_client and s_server.
3365 [Ben Laurie]
3366
3367 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3368 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3369
3370 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3371 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3372
3373 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3374 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3375 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3376 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3377 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3378 [Bodo Moeller]
3379
3380 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3381
3382 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3383 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3384 [PR #1679]
3385
3386 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3387 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3388 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3389
3390 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3391 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3392 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3393 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3394
3395 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3396 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3397
3398 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3399
3400 *) Various precautionary measures:
3401
3402 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3403
3404 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3405 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3406 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3407
3408 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3409 outside the expected range.
3410
3411 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3412 builds.
3413
3414 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3415
3416 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3417 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3418 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3419
3420 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3421 [Steve Henson]
3422
3423 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3424 [Huang Ying]
3425
3426 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3427
3428 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3429 [Steve Henson]
3430
3431 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3432 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3433 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3434
3435 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3439 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3440 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3441 files.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3445
3446 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3447 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3448 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3449 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3450
3451 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3452 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3453 [Joe Orton]
3454
3455 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3456
3457 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3458 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3459 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3460
3461 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3462
3463 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3464 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3465 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3466 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3467 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3468
3469 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3470 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3471 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3472 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3473 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3474 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3475 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3476
3477 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3478
3479 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3480 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3481 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3482 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3483 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3484
3485 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3486 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3487
3488 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3489 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3490 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3491 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3492 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3493
3494 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3495
3496 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3497 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3498 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3499 sets may exist with different names.
3500 [Steve Henson]
3501
3502 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3503 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3504 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3505 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3506 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3507 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3508 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3509 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3510 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3511 implementation.
3512 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3513
3514 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3515 implemention in the following ways:
3516
3517 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3518 hard coded.
3519
3520 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3521 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3522 ignored for embedded content.
3523
3524 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3525 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3526 [Steve Henson]
3527
3528 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3529 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3530 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3531 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3532
3533 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3534 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3538 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3539 [Steve Henson]
3540
3541 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3542 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3543 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3544 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3545 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3546 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3547 data.
3548 [Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3551 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3552 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3553
3554 *) Netware support:
3555
3556 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3557 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3558 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3559 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3560 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3561 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3562 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3563 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3564 platform
3565 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3566 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3567 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3568 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3569 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3570 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3571 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3572
3573 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3574 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3575 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3576 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3577 to s_client and s_server.
3578 [Steve Henson]
3579
3580 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3581
3582 *) Fix various bugs:
3583 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3584 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3585 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3586 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3587 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3588
3589 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3590
3591 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3592 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3593 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3594 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3595 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3596 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3597 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3598 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3599 [Andy Polyakov]
3600
3601 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3602 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3603 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3604 Steve Henson]
3605
3606 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3607 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3608 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3609 supported.
3610
3611 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3612 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3613 SSL_SESSION.
3614
3615 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3616 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3617 with no application modification.
3618
3619 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3620 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3621
3622 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3623 or server extensions to be examined.
3624
3625 This work was sponsored by Google.
3626 [Steve Henson]
3627
3628 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3629 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3630 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3631 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3632 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3633 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3634 server_name extension.
3635
3636 New functions (subject to change):
3637
3638 SSL_get_servername()
3639 SSL_get_servername_type()
3640 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3641
3642 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3643
3644 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3645 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3646 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3647 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3648 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3649
3650 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3651
3652 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3653 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3654 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3655 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3656 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3657 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3658 option.
3659
3660 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3663 [Steve Henson]
3664
3665 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3666 [Andy Polyakov]
3667
3668 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3669 (which previously caused an internal error).
3670 [Bodo Moeller]
3671
3672 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3673 [Ben Laurie]
3674
3675 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3676 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3677
3678 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3679 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3680 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3681
3682 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3683 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3684 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3685 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3686
3687 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3688 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3689 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3690 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3691
3692 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3693 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3694 information. For detailed background information, see
3695 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3696 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3697 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3698 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3699 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3700 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3701 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3702 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3703 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3704 remove a conditional branch.
3705
3706 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3707 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3708 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3709 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3710 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3711 remains as a deprecated alias.
3712
3713 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3714 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3715 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3716 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3717
3718 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3719 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3720 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3721 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3722 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3723 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3724 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3725 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3726
3727 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3728
3729 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3730 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3731 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3732 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3733 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3734 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3735 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3736 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3737 in a different context.
3738 [Bodo Moeller]
3739
3740 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3741 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3742 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3743 [Bodo Moeller]
3744
3745 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3746 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3747 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3748
3749 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3750
3751 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3752 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3753 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3754 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3755 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3756 [Victor Duchovni]
3757
3758 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3759 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3760 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3761 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3762 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3763 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3764 [Bodo Moeller]
3765
3766 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3767 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3768 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3769 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3770 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3771 [Bodo Moeller]
3772
3773 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3774 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3775
3776 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3777 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3778 Improve header file function name parsing.
3779 [Steve Henson]
3780
3781 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3782 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3783 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3784
3785 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3786
3787 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3788 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3789 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3790
3791 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3792 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3793
3794 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3795 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3796
3797 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3798 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3799 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3800
3801 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3802 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3803 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3804 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3805 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3806 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3807 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3808 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3809 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3810
3811 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3812 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3813 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3814 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3815 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3816
3817 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3818 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3819 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3820 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3821 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3822 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3823 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3824 multiple values to extend the available space.
3825
3826 [Bodo Moeller]
3827
3828 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3829
3830 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3831 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3832
3833 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3834 [Ben Laurie]
3835
3836 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3837 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3838 undesirable limitations.
3839 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3840
3841 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3842 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3843 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3844 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3845 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3846 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3847 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3848 [Bodo Moeller]
3849
3850 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3851
3852 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3853 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3854 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3855
3856 The latter two were purportedly from
3857 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3858 appear there.
3859
3860 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3861 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3862 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3863 [Bodo Moeller]
3864
3865 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3866 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3867 [Bodo Moeller]
3868
3869 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3870 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3871 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3872 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3873
3874 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3875 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3876 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3877 [NTT]
3878
3879 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3880 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3881 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3882 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3883 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3884 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3885 [Steve Henson]
3886
3887 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3888
3889 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3890 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3891 [Steve Henson]
3892
3893 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3894 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3895
3896 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3897 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3898 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3899 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3900 [Douglas Stebila]
3901
3902 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3903 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3904 [Steve Henson]
3905
3906 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3907 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3908 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3909 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3910 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3911 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3912 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3913 can't be loaded.
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3917 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3918 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3919 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3920 [Steve Henson]
3921
3922 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3923 under VC++ build system.
3924 [Steve Henson]
3925
3926 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3927 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3928 [Richard Levitte]
3929
3930 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3931
3932 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3933 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3934 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3935 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3936 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3937
3938 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3939 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3940 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3941
3942 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3943 [Steve Henson]
3944
3945 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3946 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3947 [Nils Larsch]
3948
3949 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3950 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3951
3952 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3953 [Nick Mathewson]
3954
3955 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3956 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3957
3958 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3959 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3960 [Steve Henson]
3961
3962 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3963 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3964 smime utility.
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3968
3969 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3970 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3971
3972 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3973 [Richard Levitte]
3974
3975 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3976 key into the same file any more.
3977 [Richard Levitte]
3978
3979 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3980 [Andy Polyakov]
3981
3982 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3983 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3984
3985 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3986 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3987 [Richard Levitte]
3988
3989 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3990 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3991 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3992 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3993 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3994 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3995
3996 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3997 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3998 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3999 [Steve Henson]
4000
4001 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4002 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4003 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4004 - add new function for parameter creation
4005 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4006 BN_BLINDING parameters
4007 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4008 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4009 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4010 threads.
4011 [Nils Larsch]
4012
4013 *) Add support for DTLS.
4014 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4015
4016 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4017 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4018 [Walter Goulet]
4019
4020 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
4021 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4022 [Nils Larsch]
4023
4024 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4025 the apps/openssl applications.
4026 [Nils Larsch]
4027
4028 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4029 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4030 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4031 [Ben Laurie]
4032
4033 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4034 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4035
4036 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4037 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4038
4039 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4040 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4041 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4042 avoid this algorithm.)
4043
4044 [Bodo Moeller]
4045
4046 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4047 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4048 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4049 [Richard Levitte]
4050
4051 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4052 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4053 [Andy Polyakov]
4054
4055 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4056 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4057 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4058 pod file:
4059
4060 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4061
4062 The blank line is mandatory.
4063
4064 [Steve Henson]
4065
4066 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4067 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4068 sources.
4069 [Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4072 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4073
4074 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4075 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4076 to support policy checking and print out.
4077 [Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4080 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4081 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4082 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4083
4084 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4085 [Geoff Thorpe]
4086
4087 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4088 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4089
4090 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4091 implementation contributed by IBM.
4092 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4093
4094 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4095 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4096 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4097 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4098
4099 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4100 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4101
4102 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4103 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4104 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4105 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4106 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4107 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4111 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4112 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4113 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4114 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4115 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4116 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4117 [Geoff Thorpe]
4118
4119 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4120 [Steve Henson]
4121
4122 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4123 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4124 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4125 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4126 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4127 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4128 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4129 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4133 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4134 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4135 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4136 [Steve Henson]
4137
4138 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4139 syntax:
4140
4141 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4142 [Steve Henson]
4143
4144 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4145 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4146 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4147 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4148 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4149 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4150 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4151 [Geoff Thorpe]
4152
4153 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4154 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4155 [Geoff Thorpe]
4156
4157 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4158 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4159 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4160 [Steve Henson]
4161
4162 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4163 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4164 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4165 below).
4166 [Geoff Thorpe]
4167
4168 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4169 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4170 [Richard Levitte]
4171
4172 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4173 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4174 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4175 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4176 [Geoff Thorpe]
4177
4178 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4179 initialised value as BN_new().
4180 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4181
4182 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4183 [Steve Henson]
4184
4185 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4186 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4187 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4188 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4189 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4190 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4191 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4192 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4193 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4194 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4195 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4196 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4197 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4198 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4199 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4200
4201 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4202 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4203 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4204 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4205 [Geoff Thorpe]
4206
4207 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4208 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4209 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4210 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4211 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4212 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4213 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4214 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4215 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4216 [Geoff Thorpe]
4217
4218 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4219 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4220 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4221 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4222 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4223 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4224 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4225 [Geoff Thorpe]
4226
4227 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4228 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4229 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4230 these have been updated also.
4231 [Geoff Thorpe]
4232
4233 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4234 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4235 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4236 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4237 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4238 functions.
4239 [Steve Henson]
4240
4241 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4242 structure of type "other".
4243 [Steve Henson]
4244
4245 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4246 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4247 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4248 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4249 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4250 situation in the script.
4251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4252
4253 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4254 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4255 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4256 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4257 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4258 used as premaster secret.
4259 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4260
4261 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4262 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4263 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4264
4265 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4266 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4267
4268 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4269 control of the error stack.
4270 [Richard Levitte]
4271
4272 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4273 [Richard Levitte]
4274
4275 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4276 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4277 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4278 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4279 [Richard Levitte]
4280
4281 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4282 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4283 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4284 [Richard Levitte]
4285
4286 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4287 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4288 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4289 a memory area.
4290 [Richard Levitte]
4291
4292 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4293 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4294 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4295 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4296 [Richard Levitte]
4297
4298 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4299 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4300 the following flags are defined:
4301
4302 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4303 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4304 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4305 number.
4306
4307 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4308 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4309 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4310 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4311 returns zero.
4312 [Richard Levitte]
4313
4314 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4315 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4316 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4317 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4318 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4319 [Richard Levitte]
4320
4321 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4322 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4323 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4324 [Richard Levitte]
4325
4326 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4327 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4328 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4329 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4330 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4331 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4332 [Richard Levitte]
4333
4334 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4335 req and dirName.
4336 [Steve Henson]
4337
4338 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4339 [Steve Henson]
4340
4341 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4342 [Steve Henson]
4343
4344 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4348 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4349 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4350 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4351 default implementation more easily.
4352 [Geoff Thorpe]
4353
4354 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4355 in config files.
4356 [Steve Henson]
4357
4358 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4359 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4360 [Richard Levitte]
4361
4362 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4363 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4364 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4365 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4366
4367 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4368 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4369 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4370 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4371 [Steve Henson]
4372
4373 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4374 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4375 to do it.
4376 [Richard Levitte]
4377
4378 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4379 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4380 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4381 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4382 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4383 scalar * generator).
4384 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4385
4386 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4387 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4388 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4389 correctly.
4390 [Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4393 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4394 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4395 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4396 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4397 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4398 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4399 linker additions, eg;
4400 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4401 [Geoff Thorpe]
4402
4403 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4404 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4405 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4406 [Geoff Thorpe]
4407
4408 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4409 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4410 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4411 via PR#459)
4412 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4413
4414 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4415 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4416 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4417 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4418 [Geoff Thorpe]
4419
4420 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4421 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4422 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4423 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4424 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4425 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4426 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4427 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4428 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4429 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4430
4431 Example for using the new callback interface:
4432
4433 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4434 void *my_arg = ...;
4435 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4436
4437 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4438
4439 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4440 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4441 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4442 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4443 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4444 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4445 */
4446
4447 [Geoff Thorpe]
4448
4449 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4450 available to TLS with the number defined in
4451 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4452 [Richard Levitte]
4453
4454 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4455 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4456
4457 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4458 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4459 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4460 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4461
4462 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4463 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4464
4465 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4466 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4467 well.
4468 [Richard Levitte]
4469
4470 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4471 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4472 [Richard Levitte]
4473
4474 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4475 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4476 and a macro that behave like
4477 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4478
4479 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4480 [Nils Larsch]
4481
4482 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4483 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4484 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4485 if applicable.
4486 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4487
4488 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4489 [Bodo Moeller]
4490
4491 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4492 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4493 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4494 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4495 directory engines/.
4496 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4497 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4498 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4499 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4500 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4501 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4502 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4503 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4504
4505 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4506 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4507 [Richard Levitte]
4508
4509 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4510 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4511
4512 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4513 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4514 files while avoiding the low level API.
4515
4516 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4517 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4518 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4519 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4520
4521 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4522 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4523 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4524 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4525 instead of the low level API.
4526 [Steve Henson]
4527
4528 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4529 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4530 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4531 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4532 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4533 PKCS#7 code.
4534
4535 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4536 down to the template encoder.
4537 [Steve Henson]
4538
4539 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4540 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4541 [Bodo Moeller]
4542
4543 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4544 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4545 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4546 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4547
4548 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4549 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4550
4551 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4552 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4553
4554 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4555 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4556 [Bodo Moeller]
4557
4558 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4559 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4560 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4561 [Bodo Moeller]
4562
4563 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4564 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4565
4566 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4567 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4568
4569 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4570 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4571 New EC_METHOD:
4572
4573 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4574
4575 New API functions:
4576
4577 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4578 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4579 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4580 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4581 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4582 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4583
4584 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4585 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4586 enable it).
4587
4588 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4589 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4590 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4591 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4592 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4593 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4594 various internal method names.)
4595
4596 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4597 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4598
4599 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4600 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4601
4602 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4603 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4604
4605 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4606 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4607 methods are undefined.
4608
4609 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4610 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4611
4612 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4613 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4614 length of the modulus.
4615
4616 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4617 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4618
4619 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4620 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4621
4622 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4623 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4624
4625 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4626 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4627 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4628
4629 BN_GF2m_add
4630 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4631 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4632 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4633 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4634 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
4635 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4636 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4637 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4638 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4639
4640 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4641 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4642
4643 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4644 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4645 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4646 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4647 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4648 where
4649 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4650 This applies to the following functions:
4651
4652 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
4653 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
4654 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
4655 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4656 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4657 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
4658 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4659 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4660 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4661 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4662
4663 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4664
4665 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4666 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4667
4668 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4669
4670 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4671 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4672 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4673 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4674 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4675
4676 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4677 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4678
4679 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4680 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4681 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4682
4683 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4684 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4685
4686 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4687 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4688 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4689 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4690 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4691
4692 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4693 functions
4694 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4695 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4696 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4697 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4698 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4699 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4700 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4701 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4702 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4703 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4704 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4705 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4706
4707 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4708 functions
4709 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
4710 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4711 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4712 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4713 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4714
4715 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4716 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4717 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4718 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4719
4720 *) Add functions
4721 EC_POINT_point2bn()
4722 EC_POINT_bn2point()
4723 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4724 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4725 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4726 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4727 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4728
4729 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4730 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4731 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4732 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4733 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4734 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4735 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4736 adding different types of curves.
4737 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4738
4739 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4740 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4741 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4742 [Bodo Moeller]
4743
4744 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4745 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4746
4747 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4748 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4749 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4750 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4751
4752 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4753
4754 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4755 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4756
4757 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4758 library. Most notably,
4759 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4760 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4761 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4762 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4763 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4764 extracted before the specific public key;
4765 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4766 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4767
4768 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4769 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4770 function
4771 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4772 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4773 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4774 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4775 accessed via
4776 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4777 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4778 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4779
4780 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4781 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4782 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4783 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4784 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4785 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4786 differing sizes.
4787 [Richard Levitte]
4788
4789 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4790
4791 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4792 sensitive data.
4793 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4794
4795 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4796 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4797 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4798 [Bodo Moeller]
4799
4800 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4801 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4802 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4803 [Victor Duchovni]
4804
4805 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4806 [Steve Henson]
4807
4808 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4809 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4810 [Steve Henson]
4811
4812 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4813 run algorithm test programs.
4814 [Steve Henson]
4815
4816 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4817 [Steve Henson]
4818
4819 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4820 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4821 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4822 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4823 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4824 [Bodo Moeller]
4825
4826 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4827 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4828 [Steve Henson]
4829
4830 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4831
4832 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4833 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4834 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4835
4836 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4837 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4838
4839 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4840 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4841
4842 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4843 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4844 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4845
4846 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4847 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4848 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4849 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4850 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4851 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4852 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4853 [Bodo Moeller]
4854
4855 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4856
4857 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4858 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4859
4860 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4861 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4862 undesirable limitations.
4863 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4864
4865 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4866
4867 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4868 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4869 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4870
4871 The latter two were purportedly from
4872 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4873 appear there.
4874
4875 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4876 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4877 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4878 [Bodo Moeller]
4879
4880 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4881 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4882 [Bodo Moeller]
4883
4884 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4885
4886 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4887 module in FIPS mode.
4888 [Steve Henson]
4889
4890 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4891 [Steve Henson]
4892
4893 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4894 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4895 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4896 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4897 [Steve Henson]
4898
4899 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4900
4901 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4902 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4903 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4904 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4905 the difference induced by this change.
4906 [Andy Polyakov]
4907
4908 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4909
4910 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4911 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4912 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4913 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4914 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4915
4916 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4917 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4918 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4919
4920 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4921 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4922 [Steve Henson]
4923
4924 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4925 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4926 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4927 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4928 biased k.)
4929 [Bodo Moeller]
4930
4931 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4932 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4933 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4934 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4935 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4936
4937 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4938 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4939 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4940 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4941 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4942 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4943
4944 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4945
4946 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4947 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4948 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4949 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4950 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4951 [Bodo Moeller]
4952
4953 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4954 clients need.
4955 [Steve Henson]
4956
4957 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4958 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4959 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4960 [Steve Henson]
4961
4962 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4963 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4964 structures constant.
4965 [Steve Henson]
4966
4967 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4968
4969 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4970 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4971
4972 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4973 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4974 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4975 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4976 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4977 some needed definitions.
4978 [Steve Henson]
4979
4980 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4981 [Ulf Möller]
4982
4983 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4984 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4985 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4986 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4987 [Richard Levitte]
4988
4989 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4990
4991 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4992 server and client random values. Previously
4993 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4994 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4995
4996 This change has negligible security impact because:
4997
4998 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4999 data.
5000
5001 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5002 handshake.
5003
5004 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5005 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5006 values.
5007
5008 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5009 to our attention.
5010
5011 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5012
5013 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5014 [Ulf Möller]
5015
5016 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5017 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5018 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5019
5020 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5021 [Steve Henson]
5022
5023 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5024 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5025 [Andy Polyakov]
5026
5027 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5028 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5029 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5030
5031 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5035 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5036 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5037 certificates.
5038 [Steve Henson]
5039
5040 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5041 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5042 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5043 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5044
5045 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5046 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5047 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5048 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5049 been given)
5050 [Richard Levitte]
5051
5052 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5053
5054 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5055 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5056 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5057 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5058 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5062 [Steve Henson]
5063
5064 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5065 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5066
5067 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5068 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5069 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5070 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5071 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5072 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5073 rather than being initialized to 1.
5074 [Steve Henson]
5075
5076 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5077
5078 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5079 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5080 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5081
5082 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5083 (CVE-2004-0112)
5084 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5085
5086 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5087 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5088 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5089 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5090 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5091 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5092 [Richard Levitte]
5093
5094 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5095 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5096 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5097 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5098 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5099 for these cases.
5100 [Steve Henson]
5101
5102 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5103 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5104 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5105 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5106 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5107 [Steve Henson]
5108
5109 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5110 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5111 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5112 < 0.9.7.
5113 [Steve Henson]
5114
5115 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5116 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5117
5118 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5122
5123 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5124
5125 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5126 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5127
5128 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5129
5130 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5131 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5132
5133 [Steve Henson]
5134
5135 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5136 exiting on the first error in a request.
5137 [Steve Henson]
5138
5139 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5140 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5141 specifications.
5142 [Steve Henson]
5143
5144 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5145 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5146 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5147 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5148
5149 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5150 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5151 [Richard Levitte]
5152
5153 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5154 blocks during encryption.
5155 [Richard Levitte]
5156
5157 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5158 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5159 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5160 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5161 certain size.
5162 [Steve Henson]
5163
5164 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5165 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5166 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5167 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5168 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5169 parser.
5170 [Steve Henson]
5171
5172 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5173
5174 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5175 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5176 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5177 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5178 [Bodo Moeller]
5179
5180 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5181 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5182 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5183 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5184 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5185
5186 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5187 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5188 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5189 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5190 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5191 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5192 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5193 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5194 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5195 [Bodo Moeller]
5196
5197 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5198 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5199 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5200 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5201 [Geoff Thorpe]
5202
5203 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5204 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5205 [Ulf Moeller]
5206
5207 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5208
5209 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5210 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5211 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5212 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5213 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5214
5215 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5216 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5217 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5218
5219 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5220 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5221 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5222 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5223 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5224
5225 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5226 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5227 used by default when no-err is given.
5228 [Richard Levitte]
5229
5230 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5231 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5232
5233 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5234 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5235 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5236 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5237 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5238
5239 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5240 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5241 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5242 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5243
5244 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5245
5246 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5247
5248 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5249
5250 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5251 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5252 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5253 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5254 root is omitted).
5255 [Steve Henson]
5256
5257 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5258 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5259
5260 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5261 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5262 [Steve Henson]
5263
5264 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5265 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5266 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5267 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5268 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5269
5270 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5271 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5272 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5273 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5274 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5275 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5276 followup to PR #377.
5277 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5278
5279 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5280 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5281 [Andy Polyakov]
5282
5283 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5284 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5285 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5286 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5287
5288 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5289
5290 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5291 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5292
5293 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5294 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5295 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5296 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5297 client and server.
5298 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5299 PR #377.
5300 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5301
5302 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5303 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5304 removed entirely.
5305 [Richard Levitte]
5306
5307 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5308 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5309 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5310 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5311 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5312 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5313 of libcrypto.
5314 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5315 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5316 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5317 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5318 have to be made anyway).
5319 [Richard Levitte]
5320
5321 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5322 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5323 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5327 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5328 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5329 [Richard Levitte]
5330
5331 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5332 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5333 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5334
5335 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5336 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5337 edit numbers of the version.
5338 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5339
5340 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5341 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5343
5344 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5345 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5346
5347 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5348 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5349 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5350
5351 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5352 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5353
5354 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5355 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5356
5357 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5359
5360 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5362
5363 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5364 overflows.
5365 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5366
5367 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5368 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5369 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5370
5371 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5372 representations in a platform independent manner.
5373 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5374
5375 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5376 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5377 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5378
5379 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5380 indents.
5381 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5382
5383 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5384 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5385
5386 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5387 full. Fixed.
5388 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5389
5390 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5391 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5392 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5393
5394 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5395 unconditionally).
5396 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5397
5398 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5399 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5400
5401 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5402 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5403
5404 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5405 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5406
5407 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5408 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5409
5410 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5411 CBCParameter.
5412 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5413
5414 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5415 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5416
5417 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5418 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5419
5420 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5421 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5422 exploitable.
5423 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5424
5425 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5426 the 0.9.6 release series:
5427
5428 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5429 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5430 (CVE-2002-0657)
5431 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5432
5433 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5434 [Richard Levitte]
5435
5436 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5437 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5438
5439 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5440 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5441
5442 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5443 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5444 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5445 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5446
5447 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5448 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5449 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5450
5451 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5452 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5453 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5454 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5455
5456 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5457 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5458 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5459 some local tweaks:
5460
5461 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5462 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5463 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5464 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5465 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5466 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5467 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5468 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5469 done
5470
5471 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5472 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5473 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5474 [Richard Levitte]
5475
5476 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5477 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5478 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5479 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5480 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5481
5482 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5483 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5484
5485 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5486 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5487 [Richard Levitte]
5488
5489 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5490 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5491 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5492 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5493 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5494 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5495 [Steve Henson]
5496
5497 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5498 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5499 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5503 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5504 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5505
5506 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5507 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5508 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5509 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5510 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5511 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5512 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5513 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5514
5515 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5516 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5517 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5518 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5519 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5520 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5521 [Steve Henson]
5522
5523 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5524 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5525 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5526 declaration has been changed from
5527 int (*cb)()
5528 into
5529 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5530 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5531 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5532 has been changed into
5533 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5534
5535 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5536 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5537 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5538
5539 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5540 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5541
5542 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5543 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5544 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5545 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5546 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5547 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5548 always load it have also been added.
5549 [Steve Henson]
5550
5551 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5552 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5553 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5554
5555 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5556
5557 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5558 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5559 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5560
5561 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5562 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5563 command line option can be used to specify an
5564 alternative file.
5565 [Steve Henson]
5566
5567 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5568 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5569 [Steve Henson]
5570
5571 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5572 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5573 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5574 [Steve Henson]
5575
5576 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5577 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5578 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5579 to work with the new engine framework.
5580 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5581
5582 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5583 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5584 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5585 to work with the new engine framework.
5586 [Richard Levitte]
5587
5588 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5589 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5590 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5591
5592 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5593 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5594
5595 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5596 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5597 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5598 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5599 FORMAT_IISSGC.
5600 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5601
5602 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5603 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5604
5605 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5606 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5607
5608 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5609 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5610 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5611 [Ben Laurie]
5612
5613 *) Add new functions
5614 ERR_peek_last_error
5615 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5616 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5617 These are similar to
5618 ERR_peek_error
5619 ERR_peek_error_line
5620 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5621 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5622 still in the error queue.
5623 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5624
5625 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5626 like:
5627 default_algorithms = ALL
5628 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5629 [Steve Henson]
5630
5631 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5632 [Steve Henson]
5633
5634 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5635 [Steve Henson]
5636
5637 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5638 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5639 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5640 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5641
5642 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5643 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5644
5645 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5646 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5647
5648 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5649 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5650 [Bodo Moeller]
5651
5652 *) New functions/macros
5653
5654 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5655 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5656 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5657 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5658
5659 to request calling a callback function
5660
5661 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5662 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5663
5664 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5665 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5666 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5667 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5668 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5669 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5670 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5671 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5672 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5673 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5674
5675 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5676 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5677 [Bodo Moeller]
5678
5679 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5680 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5681 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5682 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5683 the configuration scripts.
5684
5685 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5686 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5687 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5688
5689 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5690 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5691
5692 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5693 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5694 when reusing an existing buffer.
5695 [Bodo Moeller]
5696
5697 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5698 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5699 [Steve Henson]
5700
5701 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5702 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5703 [Ben Laurie]
5704
5705 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5706 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5707 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5708 has the same effect.
5709 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5710
5711 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5712 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5713 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5714 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5715 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5716 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5717 exception.
5718
5719 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5720 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5721 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5722 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5723
5724 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5725 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5726 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5727 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5728
5729 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5730 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5731 won't work.
5732
5733 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5734 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5735 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5736 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5737 default), and then completely removed.
5738 [Richard Levitte]
5739
5740 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5741 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5742 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5743 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5744 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5745 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5746 particular extension is supported.
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5750 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5751 [Steve Henson]
5752
5753 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5754 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5755 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5756 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5757 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5758 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5759 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5760 requires the destination to be valid.
5761
5762 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5763 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5764 [Steve Henson]
5765
5766 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5767 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5768 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5769 [Bodo Moeller]
5770
5771 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5772 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5773
5774 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5775 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5776 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5777 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5778 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5779 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5780 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5781 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5782 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5783 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5784 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5785 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5786 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5787 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5788 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5789 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5790 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5791 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5792 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5793 the new code.
5794 [Geoff Thorpe]
5795
5796 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5797 [Steve Henson]
5798
5799 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5800 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5801 become part of libeay.num as well.
5802 [Richard Levitte]
5803
5804 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5805 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5806 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5807 false once a handshake has been completed.
5808 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5809 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5810 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5811 client has followed the request.)
5812 [Bodo Moeller]
5813
5814 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5815 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5816 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5817 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5818
5819 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5820 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5821 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5822 [Bodo Moeller]
5823
5824 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5825 [Steve Henson]
5826
5827 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5828 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5829 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5830 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5831
5832 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5833 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5834 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5835
5836 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5837 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5838 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5839 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5840 [Geoff Thorpe]
5841
5842 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5843 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5844 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5845 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5846 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5847 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5848 [Geoff Thorpe]
5849
5850 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5851 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5852 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5853 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5854 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5855 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5856 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5857 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5858 [Geoff Thorpe]
5859
5860 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5861 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5862 [Geoff Thorpe]
5863
5864 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5865 [Ben Laurie]
5866
5867 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5868 md_data void pointer.
5869 [Ben Laurie]
5870
5871 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5872 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5873 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5874 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5875 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5876 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5877 [Ben Laurie]
5878
5879 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5880 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5881 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5882 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5883 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5884 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5885 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5886 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5887 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5888 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5889 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5890 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5891 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5892 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5893 rather than letting it slide.
5894
5895 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5896 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5897 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5898 [Geoff Thorpe]
5899
5900 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5901 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5902 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5903 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5904 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5905 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5906 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5907 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5908 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5909 [Geoff Thorpe]
5910
5911 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5912 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5913 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5914 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5915 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5916
5917 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5918 [Geoff Thorpe]
5919
5920 *) Add EVP test program.
5921 [Ben Laurie]
5922
5923 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5924 [Ben Laurie]
5925
5926 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5927 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5928 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5929 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5930 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5931 [Steve Henson]
5932
5933 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5934 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5935 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5936 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5937 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5938 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5939 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5940
5941 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5942 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5943 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5944 Usage example:
5945
5946 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5947
5948 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5949 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5950 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5951 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5952 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5953
5954 [Ben Laurie]
5955
5956 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5957 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5958 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5959 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5960 anyway): E.g.,
5961
5962 des_key_schedule ks;
5963
5964 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5965 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5966
5967 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5968 [Ben Laurie]
5969
5970 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5971 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5972 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5973 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5974 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5975 functions prevents this.
5976 [Steve Henson]
5977
5978 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5979 [Ben Laurie]
5980
5981 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5982 correct _ecb suffix.
5983 [Ben Laurie]
5984
5985 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5986 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5987 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5988 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5989 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5990 [Steve Henson]
5991
5992 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5993 [Richard Levitte]
5994
5995 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5996 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5997 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5998 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5999
6000 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6001 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6002
6003 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6004 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6005 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6006 via Richard Levitte]
6007
6008 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6009 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6010 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6011 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6012 [Geoff Thorpe]
6013
6014 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6015 Before:
6016 encrypt
6017 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6018 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6019 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6020 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6021 decrypt
6022 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6023 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6024 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6025 After:
6026 encrypt
6027 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6028 decrypt
6029 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6030 [Ben Laurie]
6031
6032 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6033 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6034
6035 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6036 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6037 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6038 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6039 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6040 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6041 [Steve Henson]
6042
6043 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6044 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6045 [Richard Levitte]
6046
6047 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6048 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6049 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6050 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6051
6052 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6053 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6054 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6055 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6056 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6057 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6058 callback.
6059 [Richard Levitte]
6060
6061 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6062 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6063 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6064 and interrupts/cancellations.
6065 [Richard Levitte]
6066
6067 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6068 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6072 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6073 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6074
6075 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6076 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6077 kind of callback.
6078 [Richard Levitte]
6079
6080 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6081 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6082 than this minimum value is recommended.
6083 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6084
6085 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6086 that are easily reachable.
6087 [Richard Levitte]
6088
6089 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6090 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6091
6092 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6093
6094 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6095 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6096 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6097 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6098 [Steve Henson]
6099
6100 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6101 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6102 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6103 [Steve Henson]
6104
6105 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6106 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6107 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6108 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6109 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6110 internally such as S/MIME.
6111
6112 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6113 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6114 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6115
6116 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6117 applications.
6118 [Steve Henson]
6119
6120 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6121 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6122 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6123 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6124
6125 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6126
6127 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6128
6129 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6130 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6131 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6132 handling.
6133 [Steve Henson]
6134
6135 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6136 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6137 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6138 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6139 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6140 a window system and the like.
6141 [Richard Levitte]
6142
6143 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6144 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6145 [Geoff]
6146
6147 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6148 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6149 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6150 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6151 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6152 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6153 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6154 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6155 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6156 ENGINE structure.
6157 [Geoff]
6158
6159 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6160 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6161 tag cache.
6162 [Steve Henson]
6163
6164 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6165 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6166 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6167 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6168 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6169 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6170 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6171 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6172 [Geoff]
6173
6174 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6175 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6176 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6177 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6178 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6179 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6180 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6181 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6182 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6183 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6184 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6185 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6186 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6187 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6188 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6189 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6190 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6191 [Geoff]
6192
6193 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6194 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6195 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6196 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6197 internal engine_int.h header.
6198 [Geoff]
6199
6200 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6201 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6202 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6203 modify their own ones).
6204 [Geoff]
6205
6206 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6207 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6208 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6209 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6210 later on via ctrl() commands.
6211 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6212 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6213 structural references.
6214 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6215 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6216 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6217 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6218 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6219 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6220 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6221 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6222 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6223 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6224 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6225 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6226 [Geoff]
6227
6228 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6229 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6230 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6231 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6232 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6233 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6234 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6235 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6236 [Bodo Moeller]
6237
6238 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6239 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6240 [Steve Henson]
6241
6242 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6243 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6244 [Steve Henson]
6245
6246 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6247 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6248 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6249 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6250 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6251 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6252 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6253 [Steve Henson]
6254
6255 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6256 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6257 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6258 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6259 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6260
6261 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6262 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6263 generator).
6264 [Bodo Moeller]
6265
6266 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6267
6268 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6269 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6270 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6271
6272 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6273 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6274
6275 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6276 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6277 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6278
6279 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6280 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6281
6282 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6283 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6284
6285 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6286
6287 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6288 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6289 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6290 [Bodo Moeller]
6291
6292 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6293 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6294 [Richard Levitte]
6295
6296 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6297 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6298 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6299 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6300 is 40 of more characters long.
6301 [Steve Henson]
6302
6303 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6304 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6305 pointers.
6306 [Steve Henson]
6307
6308 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6309 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6310 [Bodo Moeller]
6311
6312 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6313 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6314 might.
6315 [Steve Henson]
6316
6317 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6318
6319 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6320 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6321
6322 ASN1 error codes
6323 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6324 ...
6325 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6326 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6327 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6328 ...
6329 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6330 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6331
6332 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6333 [Bodo Moeller]
6334
6335 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6336 suffices.
6337 [Bodo Moeller]
6338
6339 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6340 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6341 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6342 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6343 and
6344 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6345
6346 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6347 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6348
6349 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6350 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6351 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6352 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6353 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6354 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6355
6356 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6357 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6358
6359 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6360 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6361
6362 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6363 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6364
6365 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6366 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6367 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6368 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6369
6370 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6371 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6372
6373 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6374 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6375
6376 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6377 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6378 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6379 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6380 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6381 [Richard Levitte]
6382
6383 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6384 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6385 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6386 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6387 [Steve Henson]
6388
6389 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6390 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6391 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6392 trust settings.
6393 [Steve Henson]
6394
6395 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6396 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6397 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6398 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6399 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6400 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6401 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6402 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6403 ocsp utility.
6404 [Steve Henson]
6405
6406 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6407 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6411 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6412 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6413 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6414 [Steve Henson]
6415
6416 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6417 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6418 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6419 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6420 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6421 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6422 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6423 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6424 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6425 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6426 [Steve Henson]
6427
6428 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6429 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6430 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6431 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6432 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6433 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6434 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6435 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6436
6437 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6438 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6439 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6440 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6441 [Richard Levitte]
6442
6443 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6444 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6445 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6446 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6447 opensslconf.h.
6448 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6449 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6450 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6451 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6452 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6453 what is available.
6454 [Richard Levitte]
6455
6456 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6457 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6458 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6459 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6460 auto incremented.
6461 [Steve Henson]
6462
6463 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6464 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6465 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6466 [Steve Henson]
6467
6468 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6469 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6470 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6471 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6472 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6473 [Steve Henson]
6474
6475 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6476 [Steve Henson]
6477
6478 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6479 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6480 option to ocsp utility.
6481 [Steve Henson]
6482
6483 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6484 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6485 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6486 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6487 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6488 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6489 the request is nonce-less.
6490 [Steve Henson]
6491
6492 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6493 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6494 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6495 [Bodo Moeller]
6496
6497 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6498 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6499 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6500 [Steve Henson]
6501
6502 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6503 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6504 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6505 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6506 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6507 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6508
6509 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6510 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6511 appear to exist.
6512 [Steve Henson]
6513
6514 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6515 additional certificates supplied.
6516 [Steve Henson]
6517
6518 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6519 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6520 signature against.
6521 [Richard Levitte]
6522
6523 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6524 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6525 AES OIDs.
6526
6527 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6528 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6529 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6530 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6531 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6532 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6533 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6534 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6535 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6536
6537 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6538 request to response.
6539 [Steve Henson]
6540
6541 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6542 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6543 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6544 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6545 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6546 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6547 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6548 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6549 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6550 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6551 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6555 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6556 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6557 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6558 [Steve Henson]
6559
6560 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6561 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6562
6563 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6564 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6565 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6566 [Steve Henson]
6567
6568 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6569 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6570 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6571 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6572 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6573
6574 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6575 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6576 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6577 [Steve Henson]
6578
6579 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6580 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6581 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6582 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6583 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6584 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6585 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6586 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6587
6588 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6589 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6590 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6591 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6592 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6593 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6594 [Steve Henson]
6595
6596 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6597 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6598 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6599 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6600 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6601 printout format cleaned up.
6602 [Steve Henson]
6603
6604 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6605 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6606 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6607 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6608 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6609 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6610 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6611 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6612 [Steve Henson]
6613
6614 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6615 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6616 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6617 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6618 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6619 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6620 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6621 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6622 [Steve Henson]
6623
6624 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6625 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6626 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6627 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6628 section to use.
6629 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6630
6631 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6632 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6633 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6634 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6635 [Steve Henson]
6636
6637 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6638 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6639 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6640 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6641 in the index file.
6642 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6643
6644 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6645 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6646 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6647 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6648
6649 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6650 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6651
6652 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6653 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6654 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6655 [Steve Henson]
6656
6657 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6658 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6659 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6660 [Bodo Moeller]
6661
6662 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6663 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6664 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6665 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6666 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6667 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6668 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6669 functions are provided:
6670
6671 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6672 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6673 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6674 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6675
6676 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6677 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6678 extended allocation function is enabled.
6679 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6680 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6681 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6682
6683 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6684 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6685 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6686 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6687 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6688 [Geoff Thorpe]
6689
6690 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6691 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6692 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6693 be queried.
6694 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6695 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6696 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6697 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6698
6699 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6700 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6701 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6702 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6703 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6704 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6705 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6706 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6707 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6708 [Richard Levitte]
6709
6710 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6711 provide utility functions which an application needing
6712 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6713 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6714 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6715
6716 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6717 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6718 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6719 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6720 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6721 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6722 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6723 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6724 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6725
6726 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6727 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6728 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6729 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6730 [Steve Henson]
6731
6732 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6733 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6734 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6735 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6736 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6737 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6738 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6739 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6740 will be added elsewhere.
6741 [Steve Henson]
6742
6743 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6744 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6745 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6746 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6747 [Steve Henson]
6748
6749 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6750 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6751 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6752 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6753 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6754 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6755 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6756 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6757 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6758 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6759 to produce the required SET OF.
6760 [Steve Henson]
6761
6762 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6763 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6764 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6765 [Richard Levitte]
6766
6767 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6768 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6769 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6770 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6771 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6772 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6773 [Steve Henson]
6774
6775 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6776 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6777 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6778 [Steve Henson]
6779
6780 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6781 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6782 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6783 [Richard Levitte]
6784
6785 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6786 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6787 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6788 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6789 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6790 [Steve Henson]
6791
6792 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6793 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6794 [Steve Henson]
6795
6796 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6797 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6798 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6799 certifcates and CRLs.
6800 [Steve Henson]
6801
6802 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6803 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6804 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6805 [Steve Henson]
6806
6807 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6808 entries for variables.
6809 [Steve Henson]
6810
6811 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6812 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6813 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6814 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6815 [Bodo Moeller]
6816
6817 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6818 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6819 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6820 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6821 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6822 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6823 [Bodo Moeller]
6824
6825 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6826 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6827
6828 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6829 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6830 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6831 [Steve Henson]
6832
6833 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6834 print routines.
6835 [Steve Henson]
6836
6837 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6838 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6839 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6840 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6841 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6842 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6843 [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6846 [Steve Henson]
6847
6848 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6849 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6850 for now but they will eventually go away.
6851 [Steve Henson]
6852
6853 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6854 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6855 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6856 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6857 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6858 has also been converted to the new form.
6859 [Steve Henson]
6860
6861 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6862 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6863 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6864 for negative moduli.
6865 [Bodo Moeller]
6866
6867 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6868 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6869 [Bodo Moeller]
6870
6871 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6872 set.
6873 [Bodo Moeller]
6874
6875 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6876 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6877 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6878 type-specific callbacks.
6879 [Geoff Thorpe]
6880
6881 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6882 RFC 2712.
6883 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6884 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6885
6886 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6887 in sections depending on the subject.
6888 [Richard Levitte]
6889
6890 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6891 Windows.
6892 [Richard Levitte]
6893
6894 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6895 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6896 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6897 be handled deterministically).
6898 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6899
6900 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6901 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6902 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6903 [Bodo Moeller]
6904
6905 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6906 [Bodo Moeller]
6907
6908 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6909 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6910 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6911 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6912 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6913 [Bodo Moeller]
6914
6915 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6916 sign of the number in question.
6917
6918 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6919
6920 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6921 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6922 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6923 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6924 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6925 [Bodo Moeller]
6926
6927 *) New function BN_swap.
6928 [Bodo Moeller]
6929
6930 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6931 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6932 results on negative inputs.
6933 [Bodo Moeller]
6934
6935 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6936 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6937 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6938 [Bodo Moeller]
6939
6940 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6941 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6942 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6943 and add new functions:
6944
6945 BN_nnmod
6946 BN_mod_sqr
6947 BN_mod_add
6948 BN_mod_add_quick
6949 BN_mod_sub
6950 BN_mod_sub_quick
6951 BN_mod_lshift1
6952 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6953 BN_mod_lshift
6954 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6955
6956 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6957
6958 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6959 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6960
6961 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6962 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6963 be reduced modulo m.
6964 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6965
6966 #if 0
6967 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6968 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6969 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6970
6971 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6972 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6973 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6974 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6975 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6976 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6977 differing sizes.
6978 [Richard Levitte]
6979 #endif
6980
6981 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6982 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6983 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6984 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6985 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6986
6987 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6988 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6989 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6990 cause any problems.
6991 [Bodo Moeller]
6992
6993 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6994 [Richard Levitte]
6995
6996 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6997 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6998 [Richard Levitte]
6999
7000 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7001 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7002 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7003 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7004 time)
7005 [Richard Levitte]
7006
7007 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7008 [Richard Levitte]
7009
7010 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7011 [Richard Levitte]
7012
7013 *) Add the following functions:
7014
7015 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7016 ENGINE_load_chil()
7017 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7018 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7019 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7020
7021 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7022 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7023 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7024 libraries unless it's really needed.
7025
7026 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7027 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7028 declarations (they differed!).
7029 [Richard Levitte]
7030
7031 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7032 [Richard Levitte]
7033
7034 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7035 [Richard Levitte]
7036
7037 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7038 [Bodo Moeller]
7039
7040 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7041 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7042 [Richard Levitte]
7043
7044 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7045 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7046 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7047
7048 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7049 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7050 [Richard Levitte]
7051
7052 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7053 [Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7056 [Richard Levitte]
7057
7058 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7059 [Ben Laurie]
7060
7061 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7062 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7063 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7064
7065 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7066 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7067 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7068 different shared library filenames on each system.
7069 [Geoff Thorpe]
7070
7071 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7072 [Richard Levitte]
7073
7074 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7075 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7076 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7077 of two sections.
7078 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7079
7080 *) NCONF changes.
7081 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7082 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7083 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7084 binary backward compatibility.
7085 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7086 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7087 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7088 LDAP server.
7089 [Richard Levitte]
7090
7091 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7092 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7093 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7094 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7095 this case.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7099 [Ben Laurie]
7100
7101 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7102 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7103 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7104 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7105 set.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7109 [Richard Levitte]
7110
7111 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7112
7113 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7114 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7115 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7116
7117 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7118
7119 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7120
7121 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7122 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7123 [Steve Henson]
7124
7125 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7126
7127 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7128
7129 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7130 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7131
7132 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7133 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7134
7135 [Steve Henson]
7136
7137 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7138 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7139 specifications.
7140 [Steve Henson]
7141
7142 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7143 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7144 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7145 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7146
7147 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7148 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7149 [Richard Levitte]
7150
7151 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7152
7153 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7154 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7155 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7156 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7157 [Bodo Moeller]
7158
7159 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7160 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7161 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7162 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7163 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7164
7165 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7166 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7167 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7168 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7169 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7170 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7171 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7172 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7173 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7174 [Bodo Moeller]
7175
7176 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7177
7178 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7179 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7180 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7181 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7182 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7183
7184 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7185 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7186 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7187
7188 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7189
7190 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7191 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7192 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7193 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7194 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7195 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7196 [Geoff Thorpe]
7197
7198 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7199 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7200 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7201 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7202 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7203 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7204
7205 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7206 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7207 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7208
7209 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7210 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7211 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7212 EVP_cleanup().
7213 [Richard Levitte]
7214
7215 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7216 being properly terminated.
7217 [Richard Levitte]
7218
7219 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7220 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7221 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7222 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7223
7224 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7225 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7226 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7227 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7228 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7229 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7230 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7231 change.
7232 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7233
7234 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7235 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7236 [Bodo Moeller]
7237
7238 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7239 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7240 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7241 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7242 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7243 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7244 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7245 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7246
7247 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7248 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7249 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7250 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7251 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7252
7253 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7254 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7258
7259 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7260 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7261 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7262
7263 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7264
7265 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7266 and get fix the header length calculation.
7267 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,

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