3 _______________
4
5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
8 [Matt Caswell}
9
10 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
11 [Richard Levitte]
12
13 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
14 it is always safe to #include a header now.
15 [Rich Salz]
16
17 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
18 [Richard Levitte]
19
20 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
21 [Rich Salz]
22
23 *) Add support for HKDF.
24 [Alessandro Ghedini]
25
26 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
27 [Bill Cox]
28
29 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
30 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
31 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
32 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
33 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
34 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
35 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
36 [Matt Caswell]
37
38 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
39 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
40 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
41 [Catriona Lucey]
42
43 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
44 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
45 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
46 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
47 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
48 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
49 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
50
51 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
52 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
53 [Todd Short]
54
55 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
56 [Todd Short]
57
58 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
59 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
60 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
61 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
62 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
63 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
64 default cipherlist.
65 [Emilia Käsper]
66
67 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
68 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
69 [Rich Salz]
70
71 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
72 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
73 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
74 [Matt Caswell]
75
76 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
77 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
78 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
79 implemented by other servers.
80 [Emilia Käsper]
81
82 *) Add X25519 support.
83 Integrate support for X25519 into EC library. This includes support
84 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
85 draft-josefsson-pkix-newcurves-01: specifically X25519 uses the
86 OID from that draft, encodes public keys using little endian
87 format in the ECPoint structure and private keys using
88 little endian form in the privateKey field of the ECPrivateKey
89 structure. TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-06
90 and uses X25519(29).
91
92 Note: the current version supports key generation, public and
93 private key encoding and ECDH key agreement using the EC API.
94 Low level point operations such as EC_POINT_add(), EC_POINT_mul()
95 are NOT supported.
96 [Steve Henson]
97
98 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
99 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
100 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
101 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
102 seed, even if the seed is configured.
103
104 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
105 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
106 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
107 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
108 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
109 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
110 that of a valid user.
111 [Emilia Käsper]
112
113 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
114 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
115 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
116 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
117
118 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
119 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
120
121 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
122 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
123 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
124 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
125
126 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
127 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
128 irrelevant.
129 [Richard Levitte]
130
131 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
132 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
133 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
134 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
135 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
136 of how OpenSSL was configured.
137
138 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
139 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
140 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
141 [Richard Levitte]
142
143 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
144 [Rich Salz]
145
146 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
147 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
148 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
149 removed.
150 [Richard Levitte]
151
152 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
153 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
154 old #define's might need to be updated.
155 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
156
157 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
158 [Rich Salz]
159
160 *) New "unified" build system
161
162 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
163 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
164
165 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
166 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
167 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
168
169 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
170 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
171 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
172 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
173 descrip.mms.tmpl.
174
175 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
176 [Richard Levitte]
177
178 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
179 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
180 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
181 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
182 [Matt Caswell]
183
184 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
185 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
186
187 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
188 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
189 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
190 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
191 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
192 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
193 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
194 have been adapted accordingly.
195 [Richard Levitte]
196
197 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
198 the leading 0-byte.
199 [Emilia Käsper]
200
201 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
202 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
203 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
204 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
205 [Emilia Käsper]
206
207 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
208 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
209 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
210 'unsigned char*'.
211 [Emilia Käsper]
212
213 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
214 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
215 [Emilia Käsper]
216
217 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
218 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
219 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
220 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
221 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
222 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
223 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
224
225 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
226 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
227
228 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
229 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
230 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
231 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
232 Text::Template.
233
234 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
235 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
236 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
237 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
238 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
239 %target).
240 [Richard Levitte]
241
242 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
243 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
244 straightforward and less interdependent.
245
246 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
247 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
248 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
249
250 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
251 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
252 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
253 installed.
254 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
255 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
256 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
257 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
258
259 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
260 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
261 [Richard Levitte]
262
263 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
264 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
265 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
266 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
267 is present).
268 [Matt Caswell]
269
270 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
271 configuring.
272 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
273
274 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
275 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
276 before trying to build now.*
277 [Rich Salz]
278
279 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
280 has changed.
281 [Rich Salz]
282
283 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
284
285 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
286 the application's responsibility. The application provides
287 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
288 used to authenticate the peer.
289
290 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
291 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
292 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
293 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
294 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
295 [Viktor Dukhovni]
296
297 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
298 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
299 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
300 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
301 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
302 or the 1.1.0 releases.
303
304 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
305 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
306 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
307 support for the deprecated features from the library and
308 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
309 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
310 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
311 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
312 version.
313
314 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
315 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
316 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
317 compile with later releases.
318
319 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
320 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
321 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
322 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
323 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
324 [Viktor Dukhovni]
325
326 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
327 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
328 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
329 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
330 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
331 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
332 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
333 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
334 [Kurt Roeckx]
335
336 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
337 [Andy Polyakov]
338
339 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
340 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
341 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
342 ECDSA_SIG format.
343
344 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
345 include the ec.h header file instead.
346 [Steve Henson]
347
348 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
349 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
350 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
351 [Kurt Roeckx]
352
353 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
354 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
355 were added:
356
357 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
358 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
359
360 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
361 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
362 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
363
364 Additional changes:
365 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
366 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
367 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
368 an already created structure.
369 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
370 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
371 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
372 for deprecated builds.
373 [Richard Levitte]
374
375 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
376 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
377 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
378 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
379 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
380 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
381 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
382 [Matt Caswell]
383
384 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
385 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
386 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
387 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
388 [Kurt Roeckx]
389
390 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
391 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
392 [Kurt Roeckx]
393
394 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
395 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
396 [Kurt Roeckx]
397
398 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
399 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
400 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
401 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
402 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
403 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
404 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
405 also been removed.
406 [Matt Caswell]
407
408 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
409 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
410 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
411 [Rich Salz]
412
413 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
414 [Rich Salz]
415
416 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
417 sureware and ubsec.
418 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
419
420 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
421
422 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
423 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
424
425 FOO *x;
426
427 it must be:
428
429 FOO x;
430
431 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
432 set a mandatory field to NULL.
433
434 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
435 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
436 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
437 SEQUENCE OF.
438 [Steve Henson]
439
440 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
441 [Emilia Käsper]
442
443 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
444 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
445 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
446 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
447 [Matt Caswell]
448
449 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
450 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
451 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
452 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
453 [Emilia Käsper]
454
455 *) Fix no-stdio build.
456 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
457 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
458
459 *) New testing framework
460 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
461 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
462 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
463 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
464 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
465 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
466
467 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
468
469 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
470 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
471
472 [Richard Levitte]
473
474 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
475 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
476 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
477 and others were changed. All are now documented.
478 [Rich Salz]
479
480 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
481 return an error
482 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
483
484 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
485 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
486
487 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
488 original RSA_PSK patch.
489 [Steve Henson]
490
491 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
492 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
493 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
494 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
495 [Matt Caswell]
496
497 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
498 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
499 [Richard Levitte]
500
501 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
502 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
503 hasn't been working properly for a while.
504 [Emilia Käsper]
505
506 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
507 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
508 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
509 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
510 transferred.
511 [Matt Caswell]
512
513 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
514 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
515 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
516 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
517 [Matt Caswell]
518
519 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
520 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
521 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
522 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
523 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
524 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
525 [Matt Caswell]
526
527 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
528 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
529 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
530 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
531 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
532 header file has been removed.
533 [Matt Caswell]
534
535 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
536 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
537 [Matt Caswell]
538
539 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
540 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
541 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
542
543 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
544 Added a test.
545 [Rich Salz]
546
547 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
548 [Rich Salz]
549
550 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
551 sha256
552 [Rich Salz]
553
554 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
555 [Matt Caswell]
556
557 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
558 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
559 initial patch which was a great help during development.
560 [Steve Henson]
561
562 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
563 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
564 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
565 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
566 [Matt Caswell]
567
568 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
569 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
570 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
571 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
572 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
573 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
574 [Matt Caswell]
575
576 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
577 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
578 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
579 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
580 [Matt Caswell]
581
582 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
583 compatible client hello.
584 [Kurt Roeckx]
585
586 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
587 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
588 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
589
590 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
591 [Rich Salz]
592
593 *) Removed old DES API.
594 [Rich Salz]
595
596 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
597 Sony NEWS4
598 BEOS and BEOS_R5
599 NeXT
600 SUNOS
601 MPE/iX
602 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
603 DGUX
604 NCR
605 Tandem
606 Cray
607 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
608 [Rich Salz]
609
610 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
611 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
612 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
613 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
614 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
615 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
616 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
617 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
618 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
619 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
620 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
621 [Rich Salz]
622
623 *) Cleaned up dead code
624 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
625 [Rich Salz]
626
627 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
628 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
629 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
630 [Rich Salz]
631
632 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
633 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
634 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
635 [Rich Salz]
636
637 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
638 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
639 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
640
641 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
642 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
643 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
644
645 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
646 compilation flags.
647 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
648
649 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
650 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
651 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
652
653 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
654 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
655
656 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
657 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
658 server.
659
660 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
661 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
662 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
663 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
664
665 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
666 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
667 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
668 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
669
670 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
671 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
672 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
673
674 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
675 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
676 [Steve Henson]
677
678 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
679
680 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
681 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
682
683 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
684 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
685
686 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
687 effect.
688
689 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
690
691 [Steve Henson]
692
693 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
694 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
695 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
696 algorithms and include tests cases.
697 [Steve Henson]
698
699 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
700 enveloped data.
701 [Steve Henson]
702
703 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
704 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
705 [Steve Henson]
706
707 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
708 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
709
710 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
711 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
712 [Steve Henson]
713
714 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
715 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
716 failures.
717 [Steve Henson]
718
719 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
720 sign or verify all in one operation.
721 [Steve Henson]
722
723 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
724 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
725 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
726 [Steve Henson]
727
728 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
729 [Steve Henson]
730
731 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
732 [Steve Henson]
733
734 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
735 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
736 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
737 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
738 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
739 [Steve Henson]
740
741 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
742 based on NID.
743 [Steve Henson]
744
745 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
746 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
747 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
748 [Steve Henson]
749
750 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
751 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
752 [Steve Henson]
753
754 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
755 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
756
757 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
758 POST to handle HMAC cases.
759 [Steve Henson]
760
761 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
762 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
763 [Steve Henson]
764
765 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
766 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
767 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
768 [Steve Henson]
769
770 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
771 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
772 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
773 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
774 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
775 requested amount of entropy.
776 [Steve Henson]
777
778 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
779 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
780 [Steve Henson]
781
782 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
783 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
784 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
785 support.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
789 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
790 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
791 [Steve Henson]
792
793 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
794 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
795 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
796 will never use XTS mode.
797 [Steve Henson]
798
799 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
800 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
801 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
802 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
803 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
804 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
808 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
809 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
810 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
811 [Steve Henson]
812
813 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
814 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
815 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
816 [Steve Henson]
817
818 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
819 [Steve Henson]
820
821 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
822 [Steve Henson]
823
824 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
825 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
826 [Steve Henson]
827
828 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
829 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
830 [Steve Henson]
831
832 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
833 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
834 [Steve Henson]
835
836 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
837 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
838 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
839 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
840 and rename any affected symbols.
841 [Steve Henson]
842
843 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
844 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
845 [Steve Henson]
846
847 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
848 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
849 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
850 [Steve Henson]
851
852 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
853 [Steve Henson]
854
855 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
856 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
857 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
858 [Steve Henson]
859
860 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
861 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
862 [Steve Henson]
863
864 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
865 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
866 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
867 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
868 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
869 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
870 set before the key.
871 [Steve Henson]
872
873 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
874 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
875 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
876 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
877 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
878 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
879 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
880 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
881 [Steve Henson]
882
883 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
884 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
885 [Steve Henson]
886
887 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
888
889 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
890 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
891
892 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
893 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
894 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
895 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
896 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
897 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
898
899 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
900 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
901 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
902 security.
903 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
904
905 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
906 parameters by name.
907 [Steve Henson]
908
909 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
910 Add CMAC pkey methods.
911 [Steve Henson]
912
913 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
914 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
915 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
916 [Steve Henson]
917
918 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
919 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
920 multi-process servers.
921 [Steve Henson]
922
923 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
924 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
925 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
926 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
927 RAND_METHOD structure.
928 [Steve Henson]
929
930 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
931 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
932 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
933 whose return value is often ignored.
934 [Steve Henson]
935
936 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
937 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
938 validated when establishing a connection.
939 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
940
941 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
942
943 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
944 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
945 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
946 [Viktor Dukhovni]
947
948 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
949 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
950 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
951 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
952 will need to explicitly call either of:
953
954 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
955 or
956 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
957
958 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
959 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
960 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
961 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
962 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
963 (CVE-2016-0800)
964 [Viktor Dukhovni]
965
966 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
967
968 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
969 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
970 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
971 considered rare.
972
973 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
974 libFuzzer.
975 (CVE-2016-0705)
976 [Stephen Henson]
977
978 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
979
980 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
981
982 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
983 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
984 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
985 is configured.
986
987 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
988 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
989 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
990 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
991 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
992 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
993 that of a valid user.
994 (CVE-2016-0798)
995 [Emilia Käsper]
996
997 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
998
999 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1000 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1001 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1002 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1003 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1004 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1005 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1006 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1007 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1008 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1009 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1010
1011 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1012 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1013 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1014 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1015 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1016
1017 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1018 (CVE-2016-0797)
1019 [Matt Caswell]
1020
1021 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1022
1023 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1024 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1025 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1026
1027 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1028 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1029 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1030 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1031 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1032 also occur.
1033
1034 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1035 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1036 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1037 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1038 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1039 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1040 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1041 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1042 as command line arguments.
1043
1044 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1045 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1046 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.

1049 (CVE-2016-0799)
1050 [Matt Caswell]
1051
1052 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1053
1054 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1055 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1056 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1057 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1058 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1059
1060 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1061 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1062 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1063 http://cachebleed.info.

1066
1067 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1068 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1069 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1070 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1072
1073 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1074 *) DH small subgroups
1075
1076 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1077 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1078 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1079 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1080 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1081 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1082 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1083 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1084 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1085 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1086
1087 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1088 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1089 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1090 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1091 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1092
1093 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1094 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1095 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1096 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1097
1098 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1099 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.

1103 [Matt Caswell]
1104
1105 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1106
1107 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1108 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1109 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1110 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

1118
1119 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1120
1121 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1122 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1123 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1124 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1125 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1126 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1127 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1128 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1129 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1130 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1131 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1132 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1136 [Andy Polyakov]
1137
1138 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1139
1140 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1141 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1142 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1143 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1144 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1145 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1146 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1147 authentication.

1152
1153 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1154
1155 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1156 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1157 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1158 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.

1163 [Stephen Henson]
1164
1165 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1166 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,

1176
1177 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1178
1179 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1180 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1181 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1182 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1183 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1184 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

1198
1199 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1200
1201 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1202 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1203 field.
1204
1205 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1206 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1207 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1208 client authentication enabled.
1209
1210 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1211 (CVE-2015-1788)
1212 [Andy Polyakov]
1213
1214 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1215
1216 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1217 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1218 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1219 time string.
1220
1221 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1222 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1223 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1224 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1225 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1226 callbacks.

1232
1233 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1234
1235 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1236 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1237 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1238
1239 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1240 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1241 servers are not affected.

1245 [Emilia Käsper]
1246
1247 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1248
1249 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1250 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1251 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1252 the CMS code.

1272 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1273
1274 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1275 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1276 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1277
1278 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1279 University.
1280 (CVE-2015-0291)
1281 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1282
1283 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1284
1285 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1286 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1287 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1288 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1289 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1290 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1291 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1292 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1293
1294 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1295 (CVE-2015-0290)
1296 [Matt Caswell]
1297
1298 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1299
1300 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1301 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1302 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1303 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1304 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1305 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1306 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1307 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1308 server.

1310 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1311 (CVE-2015-0207)
1312 [Matt Caswell]
1313
1314 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1315
1316 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1317 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1318 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1319 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1320 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1321 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1322 (CVE-2015-0286)
1323 [Stephen Henson]
1324
1325 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1326
1327 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1328 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1329 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1330 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1331 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1332 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1333 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1335 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1336 (CVE-2015-0208)
1337 [Stephen Henson]
1338
1339 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1340
1341 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1342 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1343 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1344
1345 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1346 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1347 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1348 not affected.
1349 (CVE-2015-0287)
1350 [Stephen Henson]
1351
1352 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1353
1354 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1355 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1356 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1357
1358 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1359 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1360 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1361

1364 [Emilia Käsper]
1365
1366 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1367
1368 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1369 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1370 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1371
1372 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1373 (OpenSSL development team).
1374 (CVE-2015-0293)
1375 [Emilia Käsper]
1376
1377 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1378
1379 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1380 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1381 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1382 (CVE-2015-1787)
1383 [Matt Caswell]
1384
1385 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1386
1387 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1388 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1389 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1390 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1391 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1392 SSL_client_methodv23)
1393 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1394 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1395
1396 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1397 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1398 output may be predictable.
1399
1400 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1401 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1402
1403 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA

1406
1407 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1408
1409 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1410 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1411 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1412 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1413 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1414 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1415
1416 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their

1420
1421 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1422
1423 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1424 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.

1433 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1434
1435 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1436 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1437 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
1438 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1439 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1440 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.

1450
1451 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)

1453 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1454 [Bodo Moeller]
1455
1456 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1457 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1458 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1459 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1460 [Andy Polyakov]
1461
1462 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1463 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1464
1465 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1466 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases

1470
1471 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1472 [Andy Polyakov]
1473
1474 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1475 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1476 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.

1481 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1482
1483 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1484 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1485 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1486 for TLS encrypt.
1487
1488 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1489 [Andy Polyakov]
1490
1491 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1492 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1493 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1494 [Steve Henson]
1495
1496 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1497 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1498 [Steve Henson]
1499
1500 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1501 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1502 [Steve Henson]
1503
1504 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1505 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1506 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1507 algorithms and include tests cases.
1508 [Steve Henson]

1510 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1511 structure.
1512 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]

1515 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1516 [Steve Henson]
1517
1518 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1519 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated

1523 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1524 of connection parameters.
1525 [Steve Henson]
1526
1527 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1528 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1529
1530 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1531 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1532 [Steve Henson]
1533
1534 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1535 [Steve Henson]
1536
1537 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1538 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1539 [Steve Henson]
1540
1541 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1542 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1543 [Steve Henson]
1544
1545 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1546 certificates.
1547 [Steve Henson]
1548
1549 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1550 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1551 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1552 [Steve Henson]
1553
1554 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1555 [Steve Henson]
1556
1557 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1558 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1559 [Steve Henson]
1560
1561 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1562 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1563 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1564 tracing.
1565 [Steve Henson]
1566
1567 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1568 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1569 [Steve Henson]
1570
1571 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1572 OID NID.
1573 [Steve Henson]
1574
1575 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1576 client to OpenSSL.
1577 [Steve Henson]
1578
1579 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1580 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1581 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1582 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1583 [Steve Henson]
1584
1585 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1586 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1587 [Steve Henson]
1588
1589 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1590 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1591 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1592 comparison.
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1596 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1597 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1598 use the certificate.
1599 [Steve Henson]
1600
1601 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1602 [Steve Henson]
1603
1604 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1605 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1606 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1607 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1608 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1609 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1610 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1611
1612 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1613 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1614
1615 [Steve Henson]
1616
1617 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1618 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1619 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1620 [Steve Henson]
1621
1622 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1623 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1624 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1625 supported signature algorithms.
1626 [Steve Henson]
1627
1628 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1629 [Steve Henson]
1630
1631 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1632 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1633 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1634 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1635 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1636 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1637 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1638 [Steve Henson]
1639
1640 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1641 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1642 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1643 to have similar checks in it.
1644
1645 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1646 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1647 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1648 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1649 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1650 [Steve Henson]
1651
1652 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1653 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1654 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1655 shared signature algorithms.
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1659 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1660 to support them.
1661 [Steve Henson]
1662
1663 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1664 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1665 it couldn't be removed.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1669 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1670 [Steve Henson]
1671
1672 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1673 functions. Add manual page.
1674 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1675
1676 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1677 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1678 a certificate.
1679 [Steve Henson]
1680
1681 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1682 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1683
1684 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1685 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1686 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1687 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1688 utility) or reject.
1689 [Steve Henson]
1690
1691 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1692 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1696 platform support for Linux and Android.
1697 [Andy Polyakov]
1698
1699 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1700 [Andy Polyakov]
1701
1702 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1703 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1704 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1705 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1706 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1707 [Steve Henson]
1708
1709 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1710 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1711 the new parameter format automatically.
1712 [Steve Henson]
1713
1714 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1715 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1719 [Steve Henson]
1720
1721 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1722 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1723 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1724 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1725 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1729 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1730 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1731 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1732 to set list of supported curves.
1733 [Steve Henson]
1734
1735 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1736 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1737 to print out received values.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1741 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1742 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1743 [Steve Henson]
1744
1745 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1746 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1750 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1751 [Steve Henson]
1752
1753 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1754 certificates.
1755 [Steve Henson]
1756
1757 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1758 the certificate.
1759 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1760 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1761 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1762
1763 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1764
1765 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1766 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1767
1768 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1769
1770 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1771 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1772 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1773 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1774 (CVE-2014-3571)
1775 [Steve Henson]
1776
1777 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1778 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1779 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1780 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1781 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1782 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1783 (CVE-2015-0206)
1784 [Matt Caswell]
1785
1786 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1787 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1788 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1789 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1790 (CVE-2014-3569)
1791 [Kurt Roeckx]
1792
1793 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1794 ECDH ciphersuites.
1795
1796 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1797 reporting this issue.
1798 (CVE-2014-3572)
1799 [Steve Henson]
1800
1801 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1802 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1803 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1804 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1805 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1806 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1807 (CVE-2015-0204)
1808 [Steve Henson]
1809
1810 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1811 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1812 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1813 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1814 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1815 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1816 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1817 this issue.
1818 (CVE-2015-0205)
1819 [Steve Henson]
1820
1821 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1822 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1823
1824 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1825 and can vary with the CTX.
1826 [Adam Langley]
1827
1828 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1829
1830 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1831 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1832 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1833 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1834 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1835
1836 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1837
1838 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1839 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1840
1841 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1842
1843 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1844 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1845 errors for some broken certificates.
1846
1847 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1848
1849 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1850
1851 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1852 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1853
1854 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1855 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1856 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1857 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1858
1859 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1860 of the OpenSSL core team.
1861
1862 (CVE-2014-8275)
1863 [Steve Henson]
1864
1865 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1866 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1867 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1868 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1869 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1870 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1871 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1872 the OpenSSL core team.
1873 (CVE-2014-3570)
1874 [Andy Polyakov]
1875
1876 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1877 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1878 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1879 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1880 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1881
1882 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1883 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1884 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1885 [Emilia Käsper]
1886
1887 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1888 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1889 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1890 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1891 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1892
1893 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1894 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1895 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1896 [Emilia Käsper]
1897
1898 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1899
1900 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1901
1902 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1903 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1904 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1905 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1906 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1907 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1908 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1909
1910 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1911 (CVE-2014-3513)
1912 [OpenSSL team]
1913
1914 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1915
1916 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1917 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1918 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1919 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1920 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1921 attack.
1922 (CVE-2014-3567)
1923 [Steve Henson]
1924
1925 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1926
1927 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1928 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1929 configured to send them.
1930 (CVE-2014-3568)
1931 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1932
1933 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1934 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1935 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1936 (CVE-2014-3566)
1937 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1938
1939 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1940
1941 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1942 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1943 DigestInfo structures.
1944
1945 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1946
1947 [Steve Henson]
1948
1949 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1950
1951 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1952 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1953 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1954
1955 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1956 Group for discovering this issue.
1957 (CVE-2014-3512)
1958 [Steve Henson]
1959
1960 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1961 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1962 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1963 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1964 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1965
1966 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1967 researching this issue.
1968 (CVE-2014-3511)
1969 [David Benjamin]
1970
1971 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1972 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1973 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1974 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1975
1976 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1977 issue.
1978 (CVE-2014-3510)
1979 [Emilia Käsper]
1980
1981 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1982 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1983 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1984 (CVE-2014-3507)
1985 [Adam Langley]
1986
1987 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1988 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1989 Denial of Service attack.
1990 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1991 (CVE-2014-3506)
1992 [Adam Langley]
1993
1994 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1995 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1996 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1997 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1998 this issue.
1999 (CVE-2014-3505)
2000 [Adam Langley]
2001
2002 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2003 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2004 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2005
2006 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2007 issue.
2008 (CVE-2014-3509)
2009 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2010
2011 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2012 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2013 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2014 Denial of Service attack.
2015
2016 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2017 discovering and researching this issue.
2018 (CVE-2014-5139)
2019 [Steve Henson]
2020
2021 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2022 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2023 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2024 output to the attacker.
2025
2026 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2027 (CVE-2014-3508)
2028 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2029
2030 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2031 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2032 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2033 [Bodo Moeller]
2034
2035 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2036
2037 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2038 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2039 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2040
2041 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2042 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2043 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2046 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2047 in a DoS attack.
2048
2049 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2050 (CVE-2014-0221)
2051 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2052
2053 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2054 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2055 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2056 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2057
2058 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2059 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2060
2061 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2062 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2063
2064 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2065 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2066 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2067
2068 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2069 compilation flags.
2070 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2071
2072 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2073 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2074 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2075
2076 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2077 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2078
2079 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2080
2081 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2082 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2083 server.
2084
2085 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2086 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2087 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2088 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2089
2090 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2091 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2092 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2093 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2094
2095 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2096 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2097 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2098
2099 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2100
2101 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2102 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2103 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2104 is at least 512 bytes long.
2105
2106 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2107
2108 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2109
2110 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2111 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2112 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2113 (CVE-2013-4353)
2114
2115 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2116 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2117 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2118 [Steve Henson]
2119
2120 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2121 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2122 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2123 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2124 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2125 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2126 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2127
2128 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2129
2130 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2131 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2132 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2133
2134 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2135
2136 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2137
2138 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2139 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2140 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2141
2142 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2143 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2144 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2145 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2146 (CVE-2013-0169)
2147 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2148
2149 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2150 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2151 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2152 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2153 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2154 (CVE-2012-2686)
2155 [Adam Langley]
2156
2157 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2158 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2162 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2163
2164 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2165 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2166 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2167 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2168 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2169
2170 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2174 if renegotiating.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2178
2179 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2180 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2181
2182 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2183 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2184 (CVE-2012-2333)
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2188 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2192 approved.
2193 [Steve Henson]
2194
2195 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2196
2197 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2198 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2199 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2200 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2201 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2202 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2203 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2204 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2205 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2206 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2207 [Steve Henson]
2208
2209 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2210 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2211 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2212 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2213 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2214 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2215 client side.
2216 [Andy Polyakov]
2217
2218 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2219
2220 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2221 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2222 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2223
2224 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2225 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2226 (CVE-2012-2110)
2227 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2228
2229 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2230 [Adam Langley]
2231
2232 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2233 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2234
2235 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2236 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2237 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2238 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2239 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2240 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2241 Most broken servers should now work.
2242 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2243 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2247 [Andy Polyakov]
2248
2249 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2250
2251 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2252 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2253 [Steve Henson]
2254
2255 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2256 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2257 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2258 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2259 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2263 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2264 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2265 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2266 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2270 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2271
2272 *) Add support for SCTP.
2273 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2274
2275 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2276 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2277
2278 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2279
2280 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2281 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2282 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2283 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2284 - s390x: z196 support;
2285 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2286
2287 [Andy Polyakov]
2288
2289 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2290 (removal of unnecessary code)
2291 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2292
2293 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2294 [Eric Rescorla]
2295
2296 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2297 [Eric Rescorla]
2298
2299 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2300 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2301 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2302 by Google.
2303 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2304
2305 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2306 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2307 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2308 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2309 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2310
2311 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2312 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2313 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2314
2315 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2316 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2317 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2318
2319 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2320 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2321 implementations).
2322 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2323
2324 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2325 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2326 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2330 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2331 particular PSS.
2332 [Steve Henson]
2333
2334 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2335 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2336 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2337 [Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2340 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2341 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2342 the appropriate parameters.
2343 [Steve Henson]
2344
2345 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2346 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2347 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2348 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2349 against a number of sample certificates.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2353 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2354
2355 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2356 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2357
2358 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2359 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2360 parameters r, s.
2361 [Steve Henson]
2362
2363 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2364 RFC3211.
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2368 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2369 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2370 password based CMS).
2371 [Steve Henson]
2372
2373 *) Session-handling fixes:
2374 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2375 but also support Session Tickets.
2376 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2377 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2378 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2379 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2380 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2381 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2382
2383 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2384 [Bodo Moeller]
2385
2386 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2387
2388 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2389 [Andy Polyakov]
2390
2391 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2392 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2393 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2394 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2395 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2396 [Steve Henson]
2397
2398 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2399 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2403 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2404 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2405 [Steve Henson]
2406
2407 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2408 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2409 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2410 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2411 [Steve Henson]
2412
2413 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2414 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2415 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2416 [Steve Henson]
2417
2418 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2419 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2420
2421 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2422 [Steve Henson]
2423
2424 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2425 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2426 [Steve Henson]
2427
2428 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2429 [Steve Henson]
2430
2431 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2432 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2433 [Steve Henson]
2434
2435 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2436 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2440 [Steve Henson]
2441
2442 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2443 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2444 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2448 [Steve Henson]
2449
2450 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2454 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2455 [Steve Henson]
2456
2457 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2458 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2459 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2460 [Steve Henson]
2461
2462 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2463 [Steve Henson]
2464
2465 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2466 and enable MD5.
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2470 FIPS modules versions.
2471 [Steve Henson]
2472
2473 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2474 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2475 until after the certificate request message is received.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2479 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2480 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2481 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2482 [Steve Henson]
2483
2484 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2485 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2486 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2487 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2488 [Steve Henson]
2489
2490 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2491 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2492 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2493 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2494 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2495 and version checking.
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2499 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2500 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2501 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) Add SRP support.
2505 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2506
2507 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2508 [Steve Henson]
2509
2510 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2511 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2512 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2513
2514 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2515 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2516 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2520 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2521
2522 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2523 a few changes are required:
2524
2525 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2526 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2527 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2528 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2529 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2530 [Steve Henson]
2531
2532 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2533
2534 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2535 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2536 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2537 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2538 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2539 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2540 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2541 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2542 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2543 [Steve Henson]
2544
2545 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2546 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2547 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2548 [Steve Henson]
2549
2550 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2551
2552 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2553 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2554 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2555 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2556 [Antonio Martin]
2557
2558 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2559
2560 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2561 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2562 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2563 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2564 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2565 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2566 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2567 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2568 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2569 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2570 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2571 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2572 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2573
2574 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2575 (CVE-2011-4576)
2576 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2577
2578 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2579 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2580 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2581 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2582
2583 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2584 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2585
2586 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2587 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2588 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2589 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2590
2591 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2592 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2593
2594 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2595 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2596
2597 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2598 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2599
2600 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2601 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2602 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2603
2604 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2605 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2606 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2607
2608 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2609 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2610 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2611 the last update always remained unused).
2612 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2613
2614 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2615 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2616
2617 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2618
2619 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2620 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2621 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2622
2623 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2624 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2625 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2626
2627 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2628 [Bodo Moeller]
2629
2630 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2631 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2632 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2636 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2637
2638 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2639
2640 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2641
2642 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2643
2644 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2645 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2646
2647 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2648 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2649 ambiguous.
2650 [Steve Henson]
2651
2652 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2653
2654 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2655 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2656 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2657 [Steve Henson]
2658
2659 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2660 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2661 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2662 [Ben Laurie]
2663
2664 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2665
2666 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2667 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2668 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2669 [Steve Henson]
2670
2671 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2672 a DLL.
2673 [Steve Henson]
2674
2675 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2676
2677 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2678 (CVE-2010-1633)
2679 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2680
2681 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2682
2683 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2684 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2685 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2686 [Steve Henson]
2687
2688 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2689 [Steve Henson]
2690
2691 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2692 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2693 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2694
2695 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2696 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2697 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2698 [Steve Henson]
2699
2700 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2701 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2705 some responders need this.
2706 [Steve Henson]
2707
2708 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2709 correctly.
2710 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2711
2712 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2713 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2714 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2715 [Steve Henson]
2716
2717 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2718 [Steve Henson]
2719
2720 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2721 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2722 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2723 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2724 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2725 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2726 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2727 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2728 [Steve Henson]
2729
2730 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2731 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2732 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2733 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2734
2735 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2736 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2737
2738 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2739 be used on C++.
2740 [Steve Henson]
2741
2742 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2743 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2744 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2745 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2746 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2747 attempting to work them out.
2748 [Steve Henson]
2749
2750 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2751 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2752 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2753 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2754 [Steve Henson]
2755
2756 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2757 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2758 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2759 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2760 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2761 [Steve Henson]
2762
2763 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2764 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2765 you can do:
2766
2767 openssl sha256 foo
2768
2769 as well as:
2770
2771 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2772
2773 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2774
2775 [Steve Henson]
2776
2777 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2778 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2779
2780 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2781 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2782
2783 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2784 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2785 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2786 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2787 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2788 [Steve Henson]
2789
2790 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2791 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2792 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2796 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2797 [Steve Henson]
2798
2799 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2800 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2801
2802 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2803 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2804 [Steve Henson]
2805
2806 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2807 [Ben Laurie]
2808
2809 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2810 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2811 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2812 CONF_VALUE.
2813 [Ben Laurie]
2814
2815 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2816 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2817 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2818 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2819 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2820 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2821 [Steve Henson]
2822
2823 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2824 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2825
2826 This work was sponsored by Google.
2827 [Steve Henson]
2828
2829 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2830 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2831 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2832 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2833 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2834 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2835 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2836 default.
2837
2838 This work was sponsored by Google.
2839 [Steve Henson]
2840
2841 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2842
2843 This work was sponsored by Google.
2844 [Steve Henson]
2845
2846 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2847 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2848 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2849 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2850
2851 This work was sponsored by Google.
2852 [Steve Henson]
2853
2854 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2855 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2856 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2857 CRL functionality in future.
2858
2859 This work was sponsored by Google.
2860 [Steve Henson]
2861
2862 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2863
2864 This work was sponsored by Google.
2865 [Steve Henson]
2866
2867 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2868 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2869
2870 This work was sponsored by Google.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2874 and URI types are currently supported.
2875
2876 This work was sponsored by Google.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2880 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2881 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2882 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2883 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2884 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2885 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2886 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2887
2888 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2889 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2890 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2891
2892 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2893 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2894 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2895 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2896
2897 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2898 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2899 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2900 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2901 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2902 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2903 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2904 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2905 of &errno.)
2906 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2907
2908 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2909 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2910 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2911
2912 This work was sponsored by Google.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2916 [Ben Laurie]
2917
2918 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2919 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2920 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2921 [Ben Laurie]
2922
2923 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2924 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2925 [Nick Mathewson]
2926
2927 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2928 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2929 [Ben Laurie]
2930
2931 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2932 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2933 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2934 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2935 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2936 content types and variants.
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2940 [Steve Henson]
2941
2942 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2943 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2944 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2945 files from the associated perl scripts.
2946 [Steve Henson]
2947
2948 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2949 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2950 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2951
2952 *) s390x assembler pack.
2953 [Andy Polyakov]
2954
2955 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2956 "family."
2957 [Andy Polyakov]
2958
2959 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2960 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2961 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2962 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2963 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2964 to use. For example, specify an option
2965
2966 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2967
2968 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2969 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2970 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2971 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2972 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2973 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2974
2975 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2976 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2977 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2978 return non-zero for success.
2979
2980 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2981 by using
2982
2983 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2984 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2985
2986 where
2987
2988 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2989 void *arg;
2990
2991 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2992 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2993 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2994 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2995 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2996 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2997 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2998 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2999 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3000
3001 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3002 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3003 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3004 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3005 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3006 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3007
3008 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3009 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3010 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3011 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3012 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3013 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3014
3015 [Bodo Moeller]
3016
3017 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3018 MAC.
3019
3020 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3021
3022 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3023 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3024 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3025 supported.
3026
3027 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3028 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3029 SSL_SESSION.
3030
3031 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3032 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3033 with no application modification.
3034
3035 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3036 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3037
3038 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3039 or server extensions to be examined.
3040
3041 This work was sponsored by Google.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3045 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3046 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3047
3048 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3049 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3050 ciphersuite support.
3051 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3052
3053 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3054 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3055 to output in BER and PEM format.
3056 [Steve Henson]
3057
3058 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3059 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3060 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3061 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3062 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3063 [Steve Henson]
3064
3065 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3066 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3067 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3068 utility.
3069 [Steve Henson]
3070
3071 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3072 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3073 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3074 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3075 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3076 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3077 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3078 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3079 enabled again.
3080
3081 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3082 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3083 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3084 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3085
3086 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3087 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3088 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3089 the default order.
3090 [Bodo Moeller]
3091
3092 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3093 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3094 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3095 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3096 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3097 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3098 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3099 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3100 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3101
3102 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3103 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3104 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3105 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3106 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3107 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3108 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3109 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3110 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3111 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3112 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3113 kinds of kludges.
3114
3115 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3116 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3117 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3118
3119 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3120 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3121 "CAMELLIA256".
3122 [Bodo Moeller]
3123
3124 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3125 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3126 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3127 [Nils Larsch]
3128
3129 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3130 it yet and it is largely untested.
3131 [Steve Henson]
3132
3133 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3134 [Nils Larsch]
3135
3136 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3137 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3138 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3142 [Andy Polyakov]
3143
3144 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3145 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3146 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3147 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3148 [Steve Henson]
3149
3150 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3151 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3152 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3153 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3154 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3155 [Steve Henson]
3156
3157 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3158 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3159 [Cryptocom]
3160
3161 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3162 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3163 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3164 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3165 [Steve Henson]
3166
3167 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3168 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3169 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3170 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3174 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3175 [Steve Henson]
3176
3177 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3178 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3179 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3180 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3184 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3185 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3189 utility.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3193 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3197 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3198 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3199 if necessary.
3200 [Steve Henson]
3201
3202 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3203 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3204 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3205 [Steve Henson]
3206
3207 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3208 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3209 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3210 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3211 [Steve Henson]
3212
3213 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3214 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3215 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3216 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3217 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3218 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3219 [Douglas Stebila]
3220
3221 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3222 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3223 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3224 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3225 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3226
3227 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3228 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3229 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3230 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3231 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3232 protocol).
3233
3234 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3235 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3236 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3237 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3238
3239 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3240 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3241 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3242 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3243 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3244
3245 aECDH - ECDH cert
3246 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3247 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3248
3249 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3250 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3251
3252 [Bodo Moeller]
3253
3254 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3255 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3256 [Steve Henson]
3257
3258 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3259 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3263 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3264 functional reference processing.
3265 [Steve Henson]
3266
3267 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3268 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3269 process.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3273 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3274 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3275 [Steve Henson]
3276
3277 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3278 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3279 application to support multiple signers.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3283 digest MAC.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3287 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3288 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3289 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3290 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3291 [Steve Henson]
3292
3293 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3294 new API.
3295 [Steve Henson]
3296
3297 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3298 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3299 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3300 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3301 a no op.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3305 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3306 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3307 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3308 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3309 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3310 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3311 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3315 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3316 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3317 between digests and public key types.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3321 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3322 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3323 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3327 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3328 key ASN1 method.
3329 [Steve Henson]
3330
3331 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3335 pkeyutl.
3336 [Steve Henson]
3337
3338 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3339 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3340 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3341 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3342 pkey, genpkey.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) BeOS support.
3346 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3347
3348 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3349 manual pages.
3350 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3351
3352 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3353 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3354 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3355 functionality for RSA.
3356 [Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3359 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3360 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3361 [Steve Henson]
3362
3363 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3364 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3365 [Steve Henson]
3366
3367 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3368 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3369 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3373 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3374 [Douglas Stebila]
3375
3376 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3377 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3378 [Steve Henson]
3379
3380 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3381 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3382 type.
3383 [Steve Henson]
3384
3385 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3386 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3387 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3388 structure.
3389 [Steve Henson]
3390
3391 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3392 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3393 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3394 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3395 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3396 of public and private key structures.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3400 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3401 [Douglas Stebila]
3402
3403 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3404 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3405 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3406
3407 New ciphersuites:
3408 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3409 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3410
3411 New functions:
3412 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3413 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3414 SSL_get_psk_identity
3415 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3416
3417 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3418
3419 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3420 and response verification functionality.
3421 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3422
3423 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3424 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3425 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3426 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3427 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3428 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3429 server_name extension.
3430
3431 New functions (subject to change):
3432
3433 SSL_get_servername()
3434 SSL_get_servername_type()
3435 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3436
3437 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3438
3439 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3440 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3441 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3442 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3443 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3444
3445 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3446
3447 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3448 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3449 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3450 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3451 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3452 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3453 option.
3454
3455 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3456
3457 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3458 [Andy Polyakov]
3459
3460 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3461 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3462 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3463 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3464 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3465 [Andy Polyakov]
3466
3467 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3468 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3469 macro.
3470 [Bodo Moeller]
3471
3472 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3473 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3474 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3475 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3476 [Andy Polyakov]
3477
3478 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3479 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3480 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3481 using the maximum available value.
3482 [Steve Henson]
3483
3484 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3485 in addition to the text details.
3486 [Bodo Moeller]
3487
3488 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3489 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3490 handle several customised structures at all.
3491 [Steve Henson]
3492
3493 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3494 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3495 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3496 [Steve Henson]
3497
3498 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3499 [Steve Henson]
3500
3501 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3502 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3503 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3504 [Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3507 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3508 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3509 [Nils Larsch]
3510
3511 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3512 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3513 all fields.
3514 [Steve Henson]
3515
3516 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3517 [Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3520 [NTT]
3521
3522 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3523
3524 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3525 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3526 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3527 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3528 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3529 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3530 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3531 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3532
3533 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3534 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3535 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3536
3537 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3538
3539 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3540 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3541
3542 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3543 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3544 [Bodo Moeller]
3545
3546 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3547 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3548 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3549 [Steve Henson]
3550
3551 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3552 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3553 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3554 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3555 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3556 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3557 [Steve Henson]
3558
3559 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3560 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3561 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3562 [Steve Henson]
3563
3564 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3565 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3566 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3567 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3568 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3569 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3570 CVE-2009-4355.
3571 [Steve Henson]
3572
3573 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3574 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3575 [Bodo Moeller]
3576
3577 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3578 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3579 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3580 [Steve Henson]
3581
3582 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3583 [Steve Henson]
3584
3585 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3586 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3587 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3588 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3589 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3590 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3591 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3592 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3593 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3597 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3598 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3599 [Steve Henson]
3600
3601 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3602 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3603 [Steve Henson]
3604
3605 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3606 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3607 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3608 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3609 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3610 know what you are doing.
3611 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3612
3613 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3614 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3615 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3616 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3617 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3618 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3619 the handshake.
3620 [Steve Henson]
3621
3622 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3623 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3624 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3625 correctly.
3626 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3627
3628 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3629 warnings in other configurations.
3630 [Steve Henson]
3631
3632 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3633 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3634 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3635 systems need.
3636 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3637
3638 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3639 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3640 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3641
3642 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3643 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3644 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3645 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3646 [Steve Henson]
3647
3648 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3649 and restored.
3650 [Steve Henson]
3651
3652 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3653 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3654 clash.
3655 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3656
3657 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3658 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3659 other than a simple chain.
3660 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3663 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3664 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3665 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3669 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3670 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3671 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3672 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3673 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3674 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3675 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3676 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3677
3678 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3679 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3680 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3681 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3682 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3683 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3684 (CVE-2009-1377)
3685 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3686
3687 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3688 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3689 [Daniel Mentz]
3690
3691 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3692 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3693
3694 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3695 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3696
3697 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3698
3699 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3700 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3701 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3702 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3703 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3704 you're doing.
3705 [Ben Laurie]
3706
3707 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3708
3709 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3710 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3711 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3712 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3713
3714 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3715 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3716 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3717 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3718
3719 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3720 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3721 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3722 [Steve Henson]
3723
3724 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3725 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3726 level.
3727 [Steve Henson]
3728
3729 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3730 to handle some structures.
3731 [Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3734 for a '\n'
3735 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3736
3737 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3738 [Matthieu Herrb]
3739
3740 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3747 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3748 chosen compiler.
3749 [Ben Laurie]
3750
3751 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3752
3753 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3754 (CVE-2008-5077).
3755 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3756
3757 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3758 [Ben Laurie]
3759
3760 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3761 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3762 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3763 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3764
3765 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3766 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3767
3768 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3769 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3770 [Bodo Moeller]
3771
3772 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3773 s_client and s_server.
3774 [Ben Laurie]
3775
3776 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3777 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3778
3779 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3780 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3781
3782 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3783 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3784 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3785 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3786 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3787 [Bodo Moeller]
3788
3789 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3790
3791 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3792 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3793 [PR #1679]
3794
3795 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3796 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3797 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3798
3799 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3800 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3801 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3802 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3803
3804 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3805 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3806
3807 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3808
3809 *) Various precautionary measures:
3810
3811 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3812
3813 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3814 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3815 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3816
3817 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3818 outside the expected range.
3819
3820 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3821 builds.
3822
3823 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3824
3825 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3826 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3827 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3828
3829 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3830 [Steve Henson]
3831
3832 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3833 [Huang Ying]
3834
3835 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3836
3837 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3838 [Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3841 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3842 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3843
3844 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3845 [Steve Henson]
3846
3847 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3848 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3849 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3850 files.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852
3853 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3854
3855 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3856 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3857 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3858 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3859
3860 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3861 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3862 [Joe Orton]
3863
3864 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3865
3866 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3867 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3868 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3869
3870 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3871
3872 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3873 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3874 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3875 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3876 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3877
3878 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3879 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3880 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3881 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3882 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3883 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3884 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3885
3886 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3887
3888 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3889 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3890 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3891 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3892 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3893
3894 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3895 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3896
3897 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3898 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3899 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3900 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3901 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3902
3903 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3904
3905 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3906 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3907 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3908 sets may exist with different names.
3909 [Steve Henson]
3910
3911 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3912 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3913 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3914 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3915 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3916 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3917 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3918 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3919 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3920 implementation.
3921 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3922
3923 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3924 implemention in the following ways:
3925
3926 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3927 hard coded.
3928
3929 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3930 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3931 ignored for embedded content.
3932
3933 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3934 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3935 [Steve Henson]
3936
3937 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3938 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3939 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3940 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3941
3942 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3943 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3944 [Steve Henson]
3945
3946 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3947 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3951 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3952 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3953 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3954 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3955 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3956 data.
3957 [Steve Henson]
3958
3959 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3960 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3961 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3962
3963 *) Netware support:
3964
3965 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3966 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3967 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3968 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3969 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3970 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3971 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3972 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3973 platform
3974 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3975 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3976 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3977 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3978 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3979 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3980 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3981
3982 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3983 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3984 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3985 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3986 to s_client and s_server.
3987 [Steve Henson]
3988
3989 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3990
3991 *) Fix various bugs:
3992 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3993 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3994 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3995 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3996 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3997
3998 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3999
4000 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4001 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4002 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4003 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4004 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4005 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4006 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4007 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4008 [Andy Polyakov]
4009
4010 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4011 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4012 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4013 Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4016 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4017 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4018 supported.
4019
4020 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4021 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4022 SSL_SESSION.
4023
4024 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4025 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4026 with no application modification.
4027
4028 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4029 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4030
4031 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4032 or server extensions to be examined.
4033
4034 This work was sponsored by Google.
4035 [Steve Henson]
4036
4037 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4038 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4039 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4040 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4041 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4042 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4043 server_name extension.
4044
4045 New functions (subject to change):
4046
4047 SSL_get_servername()
4048 SSL_get_servername_type()
4049 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4050
4051 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4052
4053 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4054 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4055 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4056 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4057 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4058
4059 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4060
4061 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4062 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4063 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4064 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4065 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4066 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4067 option.
4068
4069 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4075 [Andy Polyakov]
4076
4077 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4078 (which previously caused an internal error).
4079 [Bodo Moeller]
4080
4081 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4082 [Ben Laurie]
4083
4084 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4085 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4086
4087 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4088 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4089 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4090
4091 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4092 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4093 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4094 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4095
4096 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4097 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4098 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4099 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4100
4101 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4102 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4103 information. For detailed background information, see
4104 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4105 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4106 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4107 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4108 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4109 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4110 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4111 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4112 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4113 remove a conditional branch.
4114
4115 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4116 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4117 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4118 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4119 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4120 remains as a deprecated alias.
4121
4122 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4123 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4124 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4125 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4126
4127 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4128 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4129 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4130 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4131 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4132 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4133 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4134 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4135
4136 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4137
4138 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4139 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4140 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4141 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4142 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4143 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4144 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4145 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4146 in a different context.
4147 [Bodo Moeller]
4148
4149 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4150 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4151 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4152 [Bodo Moeller]
4153
4154 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4155 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4156 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4157
4158 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4159
4160 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4161 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4162 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4163 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4164 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4165 [Victor Duchovni]
4166
4167 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4168 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4169 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4170 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4171 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4172 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4173 [Bodo Moeller]
4174
4175 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4176 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4177 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4178 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4179 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4180 [Bodo Moeller]
4181
4182 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4183 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4184
4185 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4186 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4187 Improve header file function name parsing.
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4191 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4192 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4193
4194 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4195
4196 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4197 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4198 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4199
4200 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4201 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4202
4203 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4204 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4205
4206 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4207 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4208 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4209
4210 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4211 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4212 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4213 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4214 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4215 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4216 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4217 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4218 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4219
4220 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4221 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4222 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4223 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4224 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4225
4226 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4227 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4228 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4229 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4230 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4231 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4232 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4233 multiple values to extend the available space.
4234
4235 [Bodo Moeller]
4236
4237 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4238
4239 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4240 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4241
4242 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4243 [Ben Laurie]
4244
4245 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4246 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4247 undesirable limitations.
4248 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4249
4250 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4251 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4252 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4253 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4254 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4255 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4256 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4257 [Bodo Moeller]
4258
4259 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4260
4261 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4262 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4263 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4264
4265 The latter two were purportedly from
4266 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4267 appear there.
4268
4269 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4270 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4271 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4272 [Bodo Moeller]
4273
4274 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4275 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4276 [Bodo Moeller]
4277
4278 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4279 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4280 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4281 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4282
4283 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4284 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4285 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4286 [NTT]
4287
4288 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4289 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4290 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4291 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4292 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4293 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4294 [Steve Henson]
4295
4296 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4297
4298 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4299 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4300 [Steve Henson]
4301
4302 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4303 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4304
4305 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4306 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4307 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4308 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4309 [Douglas Stebila]
4310
4311 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4312 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4313 [Steve Henson]
4314
4315 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4316 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4317 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4318 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4319 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4320 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4321 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4322 can't be loaded.
4323 [Steve Henson]
4324
4325 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4326 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4327 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4328 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4332 under VC++ build system.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4336 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4337 [Richard Levitte]
4338
4339 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4340
4341 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4342 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4343 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4344 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4345 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4346
4347 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4348 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4349 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4350
4351 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4352 [Steve Henson]
4353
4354 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4355 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4356 [Nils Larsch]
4357
4358 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4359 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4360
4361 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4362 [Nick Mathewson]
4363
4364 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4365 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4366
4367 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4368 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4369 [Steve Henson]
4370
4371 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4372 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4373 smime utility.
4374 [Steve Henson]
4375
4376 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4377
4378 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4379 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4380
4381 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4382 [Richard Levitte]
4383
4384 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4385 key into the same file any more.
4386 [Richard Levitte]
4387
4388 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4389 [Andy Polyakov]
4390
4391 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4392 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4393
4394 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4395 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4396 [Richard Levitte]
4397
4398 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4399 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4400 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4401 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4402 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4403 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4404
4405 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4406 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4407 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4408 [Steve Henson]
4409
4410 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4411 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4412 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4413 - add new function for parameter creation
4414 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4415 BN_BLINDING parameters
4416 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4417 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4418 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4419 threads.
4420 [Nils Larsch]
4421
4422 *) Add support for DTLS.
4423 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4424
4425 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4426 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4427 [Walter Goulet]
4428
4429 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4430 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4431 [Nils Larsch]
4432
4433 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4434 the apps/openssl applications.
4435 [Nils Larsch]
4436
4437 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4438 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4439 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4440 [Ben Laurie]
4441
4442 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4443 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4444
4445 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4446 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4447
4448 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4449 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4450 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4451 avoid this algorithm.)
4452
4453 [Bodo Moeller]
4454
4455 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4456 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4457 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4458 [Richard Levitte]
4459
4460 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4461 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4462 [Andy Polyakov]
4463
4464 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4465 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4466 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4467 pod file:
4468
4469 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4470
4471 The blank line is mandatory.
4472
4473 [Steve Henson]
4474
4475 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4476 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4477 sources.
4478 [Steve Henson]
4479
4480 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4481 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4482
4483 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4484 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4485 to support policy checking and print out.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4489 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4490 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4491 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4492
4493 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4494 [Geoff Thorpe]
4495
4496 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4497 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4498
4499 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4500 implementation contributed by IBM.
4501 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4502
4503 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4504 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4505 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4506 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4507
4508 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4509 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4510
4511 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4512 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4513 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4514 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4515 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4516 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4517 [Steve Henson]
4518
4519 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4520 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4521 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4522 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4523 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4524 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4525 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4526 [Geoff Thorpe]
4527
4528 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4529 [Steve Henson]
4530
4531 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4532 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4533 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4534 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4535 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4536 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4537 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4538 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4539 [Steve Henson]
4540
4541 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4542 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4543 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4544 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4545 [Steve Henson]
4546
4547 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4548 syntax:
4549
4550 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4551 [Steve Henson]
4552
4553 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4554 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4555 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4556 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4557 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4558 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4559 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4560 [Geoff Thorpe]
4561
4562 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4563 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4564 [Geoff Thorpe]
4565
4566 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4567 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4568 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4569 [Steve Henson]
4570
4571 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4572 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4573 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4574 below).
4575 [Geoff Thorpe]
4576
4577 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4578 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4579 [Richard Levitte]
4580
4581 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4582 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4583 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4584 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4585 [Geoff Thorpe]
4586
4587 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4588 initialised value as BN_new().
4589 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4590
4591 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4595 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4596 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4597 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4598 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4599 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4600 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4601 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4602 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4603 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4604 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4605 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4606 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4607 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4608 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4609
4610 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4611 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4612 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4613 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4614 [Geoff Thorpe]
4615
4616 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4617 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4618 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4619 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4620 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4621 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4622 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4623 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4624 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4625 [Geoff Thorpe]
4626
4627 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4628 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4629 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4630 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4631 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4632 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4633 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4634 [Geoff Thorpe]
4635
4636 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4637 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4638 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4639 these have been updated also.
4640 [Geoff Thorpe]
4641
4642 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4643 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4644 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4645 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4646 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4647 functions.
4648 [Steve Henson]
4649
4650 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4651 structure of type "other".
4652 [Steve Henson]
4653
4654 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4655 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4656 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4657 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4658 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4659 situation in the script.
4660 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4661
4662 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4663 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4664 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4665 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4666 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4667 used as premaster secret.
4668 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4669
4670 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4671 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4672 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4673
4674 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4675 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4676
4677 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4678 control of the error stack.
4679 [Richard Levitte]
4680
4681 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4682 [Richard Levitte]
4683
4684 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4685 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4686 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4687 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4688 [Richard Levitte]
4689
4690 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4691 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4692 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4693 [Richard Levitte]
4694
4695 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4696 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4697 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4698 a memory area.
4699 [Richard Levitte]
4700
4701 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4702 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4703 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4704 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4705 [Richard Levitte]
4706
4707 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4708 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4709 the following flags are defined:
4710
4711 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4712 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4713 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4714 number.
4715
4716 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4717 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4718 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4719 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4720 returns zero.
4721 [Richard Levitte]
4722
4723 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4724 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4725 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4726 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4727 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4728 [Richard Levitte]
4729
4730 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4731 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4732 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4733 [Richard Levitte]
4734
4735 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4736 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4737 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4738 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4739 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4740 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4741 [Richard Levitte]
4742
4743 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4744 req and dirName.
4745 [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4748 [Steve Henson]
4749
4750 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4751 [Steve Henson]
4752
4753 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4754 [Steve Henson]
4755
4756 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4757 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4758 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4759 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4760 default implementation more easily.
4761 [Geoff Thorpe]
4762
4763 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4764 in config files.
4765 [Steve Henson]
4766
4767 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4768 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4769 [Richard Levitte]
4770
4771 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4772 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4773 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4774 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4775
4776 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4777 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4778 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4779 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4780 [Steve Henson]
4781
4782 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4783 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4784 to do it.
4785 [Richard Levitte]
4786
4787 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4788 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4789 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4790 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4791 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4792 scalar * generator).
4793 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4794
4795 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4796 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4797 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4798 correctly.
4799 [Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4802 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4803 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4804 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4805 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4806 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4807 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4808 linker additions, eg;
4809 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4810 [Geoff Thorpe]
4811
4812 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4813 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4814 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4815 [Geoff Thorpe]
4816
4817 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4818 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4819 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4820 via PR#459)
4821 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4822
4823 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4824 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4825 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4826 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4827 [Geoff Thorpe]
4828
4829 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4830 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4831 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4832 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4833 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4834 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4835 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4836 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4837 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4838 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4839
4840 Example for using the new callback interface:
4841
4842 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4843 void *my_arg = ...;
4844 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4845
4846 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4847
4848 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4849 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4850 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4851 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4852 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4853 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4854 */
4855
4856 [Geoff Thorpe]
4857
4858 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4859 available to TLS with the number defined in
4860 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4861 [Richard Levitte]
4862
4863 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4864 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4865
4866 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4867 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4868 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4869 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4870
4871 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4872 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4873
4874 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4875 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4876 well.
4877 [Richard Levitte]
4878
4879 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4880 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4881 [Richard Levitte]
4882
4883 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4884 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4885 and a macro that behave like
4886 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4887
4888 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4889 [Nils Larsch]
4890
4891 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4892 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4893 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4894 if applicable.
4895 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4896
4897 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4898 [Bodo Moeller]
4899
4900 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4901 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4902 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4903 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4904 directory engines/.
4905 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4906 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4907 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4908 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4909 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4910 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4911 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4912 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4913
4914 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4915 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
4916 [Richard Levitte]
4917
4918 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4919 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4920
4921 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4922 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4923 files while avoiding the low level API.
4924
4925 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4926 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4927 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4928 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4929
4930 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4931 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4932 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4933 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4934 instead of the low level API.
4935 [Steve Henson]
4936
4937 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4938 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4939 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4940 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4941 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4942 PKCS#7 code.
4943
4944 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4945 down to the template encoder.
4946 [Steve Henson]
4947
4948 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4949 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4950 [Bodo Moeller]
4951
4952 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4953 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4954 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4955 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4956
4957 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4958 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4959
4960 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4961 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4962
4963 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4964 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4965 [Bodo Moeller]
4966
4967 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4968 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4969 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4970 [Bodo Moeller]
4971
4972 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4973 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4974
4975 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4976 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4977
4978 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4979 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4980 New EC_METHOD:
4981
4982 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4983
4984 New API functions:
4985
4986 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4987 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4988 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4989 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4990 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4991 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4992
4993 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4994 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4995 enable it).
4996
4997 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4998 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4999 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5000 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5001 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5002 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5003 various internal method names.)
5004
5005 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5006 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5007
5008 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5009 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5010
5011 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5012 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5013
5014 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5015 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5016 methods are undefined.
5017
5018 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5019 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5020
5021 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5022 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5023 length of the modulus.
5024
5025 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5026 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5027
5028 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5029 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5030
5031 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5032 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5033
5034 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5035 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5036 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5037
5038 BN_GF2m_add
5039 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5040 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5041 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5042 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5043 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5044 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5045 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5046 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5047 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5048
5049 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5050 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5051
5052 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5053 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5054 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5055 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5056 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5057 where
5058 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5059 This applies to the following functions:
5060
5061 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5062 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5063 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5064 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5065 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5066 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5067 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5068 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5069 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5070 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5071
5072 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5073
5074 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5075 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5076
5077 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5078
5079 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5080 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5081 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5082 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5083 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5084
5085 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5086 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5087
5088 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5089 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5090 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5091
5092 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5093 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5094
5095 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5096 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5097 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5098 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5099 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5100
5101 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5102 functions
5103 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5104 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5105 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5106 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5107 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5108 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5109 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5110 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5111 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5112 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5113 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5114 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5115
5116 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5117 functions
5118 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5119 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5120 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5121 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5122 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5123
5124 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5125 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5126 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5127 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5128
5129 *) Add functions
5130 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5131 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5132 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5133 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5134 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5135 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5136 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5137
5138 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5139 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5140 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5141 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5142 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5143 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5144 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5145 adding different types of curves.
5146 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5147
5148 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5149 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5150 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5151 [Bodo Moeller]
5152
5153 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5154 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5155
5156 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5157 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5158 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5159 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5160
5161 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5162
5163 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5164 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5165
5166 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5167 library. Most notably,
5168 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5169 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5170 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5171 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5172 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5173 extracted before the specific public key;
5174 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5175 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5176
5177 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5178 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5179 function
5180 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5181 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5182 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5183 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5184 accessed via
5185 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5186 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5187 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5188
5189 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5190 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5191 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5192 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5193 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5194 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5195 differing sizes.
5196 [Richard Levitte]
5197
5198 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5199
5200 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5201 sensitive data.
5202 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5203
5204 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5205 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5206 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5207 [Bodo Moeller]
5208
5209 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5210 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5211 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5212 [Victor Duchovni]
5213
5214 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5215 [Steve Henson]
5216
5217 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5218 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5219 [Steve Henson]
5220
5221 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5222 run algorithm test programs.
5223 [Steve Henson]
5224
5225 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5226 [Steve Henson]
5227
5228 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5229 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5230 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5231 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5232 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5233 [Bodo Moeller]
5234
5235 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5236 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5237 [Steve Henson]
5238
5239 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5240
5241 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5242 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5243 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5244
5245 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5246 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5247
5248 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5249 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5250
5251 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5252 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5253 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5254
5255 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5256 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5257 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5258 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5259 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5260 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5261 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5262 [Bodo Moeller]
5263
5264 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5265
5266 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5267 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5268
5269 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5270 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5271 undesirable limitations.
5272 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5273
5274 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5275
5276 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5277 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5278 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5279
5280 The latter two were purportedly from
5281 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5282 appear there.
5283
5284 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5285 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5286 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5287 [Bodo Moeller]
5288
5289 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5290 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5291 [Bodo Moeller]
5292
5293 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5294
5295 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5296 module in FIPS mode.
5297 [Steve Henson]
5298
5299 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5300 [Steve Henson]
5301
5302 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5303 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5304 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5305 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5306 [Steve Henson]
5307
5308 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5309
5310 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5311 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5312 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5313 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5314 the difference induced by this change.
5315 [Andy Polyakov]
5316
5317 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5318
5319 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5320 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5321 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5322 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5323 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5324
5325 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5326 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5327 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5328
5329 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5330 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5334 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5335 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5336 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5337 biased k.)
5338 [Bodo Moeller]
5339
5340 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5341 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5342 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5343 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5344 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5345
5346 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5347 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5348 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5349 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5350 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5351 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5352
5353 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5354
5355 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5356 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5357 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5358 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5359 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5360 [Bodo Moeller]
5361
5362 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5363 clients need.
5364 [Steve Henson]
5365
5366 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5367 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5368 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5369 [Steve Henson]
5370
5371 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5372 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5373 structures constant.
5374 [Steve Henson]
5375
5376 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5377
5378 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5379 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5380
5381 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5382 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5383 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5384 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5385 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5386 some needed definitions.
5387 [Steve Henson]
5388
5389 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5390 [Ulf Möller]
5391
5392 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5393 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5394 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5395 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5396 [Richard Levitte]
5397
5398 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5399
5400 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5401 server and client random values. Previously
5402 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5403 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5404
5405 This change has negligible security impact because:
5406
5407 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5408 data.
5409
5410 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5411 handshake.
5412
5413 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5414 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5415 values.
5416
5417 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5418 to our attention.
5419
5420 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5421
5422 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5423 [Ulf Möller]
5424
5425 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5426 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5427 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5428
5429 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5430 [Steve Henson]
5431
5432 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5433 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5434 [Andy Polyakov]
5435
5436 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5437 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5438 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5439
5440 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5441 [Steve Henson]
5442
5443 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5444 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
5445 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
5446 certificates.
5447 [Steve Henson]
5448
5449 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5450 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5451 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5452 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5453
5454 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5455 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5456 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5457 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5458 been given)
5459 [Richard Levitte]
5460
5461 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5462
5463 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5464 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5465 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5466 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5467 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5468 [Steve Henson]
5469
5470 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5471 [Steve Henson]
5472
5473 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5474 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5475
5476 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5477 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5478 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5479 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5480 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5481 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5482 rather than being initialized to 1.
5483 [Steve Henson]
5484
5485 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5486
5487 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5488 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5489 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5490
5491 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5492 (CVE-2004-0112)
5493 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5494
5495 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5496 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5497 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5498 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5499 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5500 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5501 [Richard Levitte]
5502
5503 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5504 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5505 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5506 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5507 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5508 for these cases.
5509 [Steve Henson]
5510
5511 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5512 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5513 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5514 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5515 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5516 [Steve Henson]
5517
5518 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5519 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5520 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5521 < 0.9.7.
5522 [Steve Henson]
5523
5524 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5525 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5526
5527 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5528 [Steve Henson]
5529
5530 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5531
5532 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5533
5534 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5535 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5536
5537 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5538
5539 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5540 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5541
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5545 exiting on the first error in a request.
5546 [Steve Henson]
5547
5548 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5549 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5550 specifications.
5551 [Steve Henson]
5552
5553 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5554 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5555 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5556 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5557
5558 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5559 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5560 [Richard Levitte]
5561
5562 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5563 blocks during encryption.
5564 [Richard Levitte]
5565
5566 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5567 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5568 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5569 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5570 certain size.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5574 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5575 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5576 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5577 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5578 parser.
5579 [Steve Henson]
5580
5581 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5582
5583 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5584 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5585 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5586 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5587 [Bodo Moeller]
5588
5589 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5590 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5591 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5592 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5593 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5594
5595 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5596 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5597 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5598 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5599 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5600 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5601 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5602 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5603 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5604 [Bodo Moeller]
5605
5606 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5607 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5608 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5609 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5610 [Geoff Thorpe]
5611
5612 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5613 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5614 [Ulf Moeller]
5615
5616 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5617
5618 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5619 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5620 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5621 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5622 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5623
5624 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5625 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5626 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5627
5628 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5629 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5630 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5631 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5632 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5633
5634 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5635 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5636 used by default when no-err is given.
5637 [Richard Levitte]
5638
5639 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5640 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5641
5642 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5643 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5644 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5645 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5646 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5647
5648 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5649 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5650 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5651 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5652
5653 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5654
5655 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5656
5657 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5658
5659 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5660 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5661 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5662 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5663 root is omitted).
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5667 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5668
5669 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5670 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5671 [Steve Henson]
5672
5673 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5674 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5675 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5676 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5677 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5678
5679 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5680 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5681 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5682 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5683 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5684 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5685 followup to PR #377.
5686 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5687
5688 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5689 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5690 [Andy Polyakov]
5691
5692 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5693 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5694 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5695 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5696
5697 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5698
5699 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5700 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5701
5702 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5703 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5704 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5705 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5706 client and server.
5707 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5708 PR #377.
5709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5710
5711 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5712 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5713 removed entirely.
5714 [Richard Levitte]
5715
5716 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5717 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5718 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5719 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5720 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5721 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5722 of libcrypto.
5723 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5724 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5725 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5726 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5727 have to be made anyway).
5728 [Richard Levitte]
5729
5730 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5731 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5732 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5733 [Steve Henson]
5734
5735 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5736 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5737 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5738 [Richard Levitte]
5739
5740 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5741 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5742 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5743
5744 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5745 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5746 edit numbers of the version.
5747 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5748
5749 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5750 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5752
5753 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5754 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5755
5756 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5757 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5758 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5759
5760 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5762
5763 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5764 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5765
5766 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5767 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5768
5769 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5770 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5771
5772 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5773 overflows.
5774 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5775
5776 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5777 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5778 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5779
5780 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5781 representations in a platform independent manner.
5782 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5783
5784 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5785 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5786 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5787
5788 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5789 indents.
5790 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5791
5792 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5793 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5794
5795 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5796 full. Fixed.
5797 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5798
5799 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5800 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5801 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5802
5803 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5804 unconditionally).
5805 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5806
5807 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5808 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5809
5810 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5811 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5812
5813 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5814 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5815
5816 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5817 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5818
5819 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5820 CBCParameter.
5821 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5822
5823 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5824 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5825
5826 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5827 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5828
5829 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5830 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5831 exploitable.
5832 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5833
5834 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5835 the 0.9.6 release series:
5836
5837 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5838 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5839 (CVE-2002-0657)
5840 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5841
5842 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5843 [Richard Levitte]
5844
5845 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5846 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5847
5848 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5849 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5850
5851 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5852 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5853 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5854 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5855
5856 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5857 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5858 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5859
5860 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5861 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5862 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5863 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5864
5865 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5866 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5867 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5868 some local tweaks:
5869
5870 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5871 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5872 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5873 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5874 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5875 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5876 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5877 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5878 done
5879
5880 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5881 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
5882 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5883 [Richard Levitte]
5884
5885 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5886 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5887 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5888 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5889 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5890
5891 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5892 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5893
5894 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5895 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5896 [Richard Levitte]
5897
5898 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5899 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5900 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5901 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5902 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5903 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5904 [Steve Henson]
5905
5906 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5907 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5908 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5909 [Steve Henson]
5910
5911 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5912 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5913 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5914
5915 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5916 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5917 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5918 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5919 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5920 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5921 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5922 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5923
5924 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5925 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5926 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5927 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5928 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5929 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5930 [Steve Henson]
5931
5932 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5933 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5934 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5935 declaration has been changed from
5936 int (*cb)()
5937 into
5938 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5939 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5940 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5941 has been changed into
5942 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5943
5944 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5945 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5946 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5947
5948 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5949 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5950
5951 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5952 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5953 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5954 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5955 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5956 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5957 always load it have also been added.
5958 [Steve Henson]
5959
5960 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5961 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5962 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5963
5964 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5965
5966 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5967 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5968 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5969
5970 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5971 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5972 command line option can be used to specify an
5973 alternative file.
5974 [Steve Henson]
5975
5976 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5977 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5978 [Steve Henson]
5979
5980 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5981 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5982 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5983 [Steve Henson]
5984
5985 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5986 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5987 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5988 to work with the new engine framework.
5989 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5990
5991 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5992 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5993 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5994 to work with the new engine framework.
5995 [Richard Levitte]
5996
5997 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5998 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5999 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6000
6001 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6002 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6003
6004 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6005 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6006 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6007 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6008 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6009 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6010
6011 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6012 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6013
6014 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6015 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6016
6017 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6018 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6019 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6020 [Ben Laurie]
6021
6022 *) Add new functions
6023 ERR_peek_last_error
6024 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6025 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6026 These are similar to
6027 ERR_peek_error
6028 ERR_peek_error_line
6029 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6030 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6031 still in the error queue.
6032 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6033
6034 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6035 like:
6036 default_algorithms = ALL
6037 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6038 [Steve Henson]
6039
6040 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6041 [Steve Henson]
6042
6043 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6044 [Steve Henson]
6045
6046 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6047 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6048 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6049 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6050
6051 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6052 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6053
6054 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6055 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6056
6057 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6058 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6059 [Bodo Moeller]
6060
6061 *) New functions/macros
6062
6063 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6064 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6065 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6066 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6067
6068 to request calling a callback function
6069
6070 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6071 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6072
6073 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6074 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6075 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6076 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6077 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6078 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6079 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6080 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6081 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6082 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6083
6084 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6085 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6086 [Bodo Moeller]
6087
6088 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6089 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6090 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6091 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6092 the configuration scripts.
6093
6094 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6095 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6096 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6097
6098 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6099 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6100
6101 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6102 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6103 when reusing an existing buffer.
6104 [Bodo Moeller]
6105
6106 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6107 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6108 [Steve Henson]
6109
6110 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6111 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6112 [Ben Laurie]
6113
6114 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6115 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6116 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6117 has the same effect.
6118 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6119
6120 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6121 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6122 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6123 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6124 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6125 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6126 exception.
6127
6128 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6129 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6130 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6131 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6132
6133 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6134 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6135 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6136 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6137
6138 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6139 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6140 won't work.
6141
6142 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6143 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6144 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6145 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6146 default), and then completely removed.
6147 [Richard Levitte]
6148
6149 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6150 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6151 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6152 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6153 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6154 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6155 particular extension is supported.
6156 [Steve Henson]
6157
6158 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6159 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6160 [Steve Henson]
6161
6162 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6163 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6164 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6165 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6166 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6167 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6168 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6169 requires the destination to be valid.
6170
6171 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6172 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6173 [Steve Henson]
6174
6175 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6176 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6177 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6178 [Bodo Moeller]
6179
6180 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6181 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6182
6183 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6184 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6185 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6186 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6187 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6188 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6189 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6190 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6191 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6192 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6193 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6194 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6195 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6196 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6197 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6198 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6199 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6200 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6201 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6202 the new code.
6203 [Geoff Thorpe]
6204
6205 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6206 [Steve Henson]
6207
6208 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6209 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6210 become part of libeay.num as well.
6211 [Richard Levitte]
6212
6213 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6214 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6215 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6216 false once a handshake has been completed.
6217 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6218 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6219 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6220 client has followed the request.)
6221 [Bodo Moeller]
6222
6223 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6224 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6225 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6226 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6227
6228 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6229 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6230 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6231 [Bodo Moeller]
6232
6233 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6234 [Steve Henson]
6235
6236 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6237 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6238 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6239 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6240
6241 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6242 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6243 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6244
6245 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6246 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6247 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6248 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6249 [Geoff Thorpe]
6250
6251 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6252 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6253 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6254 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6255 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6256 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6257 [Geoff Thorpe]
6258
6259 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6260 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6261 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6262 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6263 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6264 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6265 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6266 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6267 [Geoff Thorpe]
6268
6269 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6270 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6271 [Geoff Thorpe]
6272
6273 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6274 [Ben Laurie]
6275
6276 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6277 md_data void pointer.
6278 [Ben Laurie]
6279
6280 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6281 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6282 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6283 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6284 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6285 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6286 [Ben Laurie]
6287
6288 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6289 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6290 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6291 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6292 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6293 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6294 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6295 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6296 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6297 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6298 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6299 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6300 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6301 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6302 rather than letting it slide.
6303
6304 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6305 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6306 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6307 [Geoff Thorpe]
6308
6309 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6310 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6311 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6312 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6313 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6314 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6315 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6316 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6317 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6318 [Geoff Thorpe]
6319
6320 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6321 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6322 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6323 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6324 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6325
6326 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6327 [Geoff Thorpe]
6328
6329 *) Add EVP test program.
6330 [Ben Laurie]
6331
6332 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6333 [Ben Laurie]
6334
6335 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6336 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6337 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6338 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6339 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6340 [Steve Henson]
6341
6342 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6343 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6344 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6345 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6346 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6347 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6348 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6349
6350 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6351 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6352 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6353 Usage example:
6354
6355 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6356
6357 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6358 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6359 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6360 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6361 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6362
6363 [Ben Laurie]
6364
6365 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6366 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6367 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6368 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6369 anyway): E.g.,
6370
6371 des_key_schedule ks;
6372
6373 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6374 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6375
6376 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6377 [Ben Laurie]
6378
6379 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6380 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6381 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6382 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6383 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6384 functions prevents this.
6385 [Steve Henson]
6386
6387 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6388 [Ben Laurie]
6389
6390 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6391 correct _ecb suffix.
6392 [Ben Laurie]
6393
6394 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6395 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6396 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6397 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6398 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6402 [Richard Levitte]
6403
6404 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6405 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6406 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6407 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6408
6409 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6410 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6411
6412 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6413 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6414 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6415 via Richard Levitte]
6416
6417 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6418 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6419 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6420 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6421 [Geoff Thorpe]
6422
6423 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6424 Before:
6425 encrypt
6426 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6427 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6428 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
6429 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
6430 decrypt
6431 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
6432 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
6433 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6434 After:
6435 encrypt
6436 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6437 decrypt
6438 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6439 [Ben Laurie]
6440
6441 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6442 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6443
6444 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6445 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6446 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6447 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6448 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6449 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6450 [Steve Henson]
6451
6452 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6453 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6454 [Richard Levitte]
6455
6456 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6457 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6458 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6459 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6460
6461 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6462 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6463 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6464 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6465 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6466 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6467 callback.
6468 [Richard Levitte]
6469
6470 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6471 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6472 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6473 and interrupts/cancellations.
6474 [Richard Levitte]
6475
6476 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6477 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6478 [Steve Henson]
6479
6480 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6481 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6482 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6483
6484 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6485 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6486 kind of callback.
6487 [Richard Levitte]
6488
6489 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6490 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6491 than this minimum value is recommended.
6492 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6493
6494 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6495 that are easily reachable.
6496 [Richard Levitte]
6497
6498 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6499 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6500
6501 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6502
6503 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6504 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6505 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6506 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6507 [Steve Henson]
6508
6509 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6510 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6511 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6512 [Steve Henson]
6513
6514 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6515 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6516 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6517 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6518 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6519 internally such as S/MIME.
6520
6521 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6522 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6523 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6524
6525 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6526 applications.
6527 [Steve Henson]
6528
6529 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6530 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6531 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6532 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6533
6534 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6535
6536 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6537
6538 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6539 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6540 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6541 handling.
6542 [Steve Henson]
6543
6544 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6545 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6546 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6547 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6548 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6549 a window system and the like.
6550 [Richard Levitte]
6551
6552 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6553 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6554 [Geoff]
6555
6556 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6557 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6558 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6559 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6560 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6561 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6562 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6563 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6564 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6565 ENGINE structure.
6566 [Geoff]
6567
6568 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6569 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6570 tag cache.
6571 [Steve Henson]
6572
6573 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6574 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6575 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6576 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6577 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6578 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6579 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6580 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6581 [Geoff]
6582
6583 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6584 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6585 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6586 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6587 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6588 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6589 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6590 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6591 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6592 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6593 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6594 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6595 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6596 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6597 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6598 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6599 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6600 [Geoff]
6601
6602 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6603 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6604 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6605 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6606 internal engine_int.h header.
6607 [Geoff]
6608
6609 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6610 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6611 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6612 modify their own ones).
6613 [Geoff]
6614
6615 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6616 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6617 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6618 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6619 later on via ctrl() commands.
6620 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6621 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6622 structural references.
6623 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6624 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6625 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6626 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6627 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6628 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6629 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6630 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6631 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6632 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6633 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6634 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6635 [Geoff]
6636
6637 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6638 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6639 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6640 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6641 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6642 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6643 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6644 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6645 [Bodo Moeller]
6646
6647 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6648 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6649 [Steve Henson]
6650
6651 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6652 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6653 [Steve Henson]
6654
6655 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6656 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6657 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6658 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6659 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6660 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6661 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6662 [Steve Henson]
6663
6664 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6665 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6666 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6667 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6668 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6669
6670 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6671 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6672 generator).
6673 [Bodo Moeller]
6674
6675 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6676
6677 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6678 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6679 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6680
6681 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6682 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6683
6684 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6685 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6686 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6687
6688 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6689 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6690
6691 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6692 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6693
6694 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6695
6696 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6697 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6698 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6699 [Bodo Moeller]
6700
6701 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6702 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6703 [Richard Levitte]
6704
6705 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6706 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6707 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6708 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6709 is 40 of more characters long.
6710 [Steve Henson]
6711
6712 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6713 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6714 pointers.
6715 [Steve Henson]
6716
6717 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6718 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6719 [Bodo Moeller]
6720
6721 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6722 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6723 might.
6724 [Steve Henson]
6725
6726 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6727
6728 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6729 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6730
6731 ASN1 error codes
6732 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6733 ...
6734 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6735 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6736 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6737 ...
6738 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6739 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6740
6741 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6742 [Bodo Moeller]
6743
6744 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6745 suffices.
6746 [Bodo Moeller]
6747
6748 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6749 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6750 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6751 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6752 and
6753 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6754
6755 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6756 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6757
6758 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6759 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6760 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6761 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6762 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6763 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6764
6765 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6766 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6767
6768 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6769 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6770
6771 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6772 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6773
6774 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6775 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6776 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6777 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6778
6779 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6780 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6781
6782 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6783 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6784
6785 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6786 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6787 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6788 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6789 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6790 [Richard Levitte]
6791
6792 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6793 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6794 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6795 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6796 [Steve Henson]
6797
6798 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6799 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6800 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6801 trust settings.
6802 [Steve Henson]
6803
6804 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6805 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6806 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6807 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6808 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6809 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6810 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6811 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6812 ocsp utility.
6813 [Steve Henson]
6814
6815 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6816 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6817 [Steve Henson]
6818
6819 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6820 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6821 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6822 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6823 [Steve Henson]
6824
6825 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6826 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6827 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6828 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6829 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6830 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6831 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6832 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6833 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6834 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6835 [Steve Henson]
6836
6837 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6838 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6839 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6840 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6841 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6842 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6843 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6844 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6845
6846 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6847 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6848 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6849 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6850 [Richard Levitte]
6851
6852 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6853 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6854 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6855 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6856 opensslconf.h.
6857 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6858 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6859 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6860 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6861 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6862 what is available.
6863 [Richard Levitte]
6864
6865 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6866 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6867 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6868 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6869 auto incremented.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6873 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6874 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6875 [Steve Henson]
6876
6877 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6878 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6879 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6880 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6881 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6882 [Steve Henson]
6883
6884 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6885 [Steve Henson]
6886
6887 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6888 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6889 option to ocsp utility.
6890 [Steve Henson]
6891
6892 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6893 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6894 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6895 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6896 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6897 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6898 the request is nonce-less.
6899 [Steve Henson]
6900
6901 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6902 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6903 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6904 [Bodo Moeller]
6905
6906 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6907 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6908 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6909 [Steve Henson]
6910
6911 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6912 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6913 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6914 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6915 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6916 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6917
6918 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6919 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6920 appear to exist.
6921 [Steve Henson]
6922
6923 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6924 additional certificates supplied.
6925 [Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6928 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6929 signature against.
6930 [Richard Levitte]
6931
6932 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6933 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6934 AES OIDs.
6935
6936 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6937 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6938 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6939 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6940 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6941 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6942 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6943 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6944 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6945
6946 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6947 request to response.
6948 [Steve Henson]
6949
6950 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6951 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6952 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6953 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6954 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6955 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6956 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6957 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6958 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6959 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6960 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6961 [Steve Henson]
6962
6963 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6964 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6965 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6966 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6967 [Steve Henson]
6968
6969 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6970 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6971
6972 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6973 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6974 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6975 [Steve Henson]
6976
6977 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6978 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6979 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6980 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6981 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6982
6983 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6984 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6985 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6989 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6990 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6991 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6992 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6993 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6994 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6995 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6996
6997 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6998 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6999 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7000 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7001 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7002 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7003 [Steve Henson]
7004
7005 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7006 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7007 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7008 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7009 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7010 printout format cleaned up.
7011 [Steve Henson]
7012
7013 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7014 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7015 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7016 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7017 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7018 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7019 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7020 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7021 [Steve Henson]
7022
7023 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7024 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7025 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7026 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7027 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7028 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7029 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7030 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7034 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7035 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7036 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7037 section to use.
7038 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7039
7040 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7041 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7042 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7043 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7044 [Steve Henson]
7045
7046 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7047 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7048 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7049 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7050 in the index file.
7051 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7052
7053 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7054 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7055 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7056 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7057
7058 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7059 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7060
7061 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7062 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7063 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7064 [Steve Henson]
7065
7066 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7067 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7068 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7069 [Bodo Moeller]
7070
7071 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7072 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7073 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7074 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7075 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7076 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7077 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7078 functions are provided:
7079
7080 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7081 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7082 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7083 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7084
7085 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7086 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7087 extended allocation function is enabled.
7088 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7089 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7090 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7091
7092 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7093 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7094 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7095 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7096 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7097 [Geoff Thorpe]
7098
7099 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7100 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7101 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7102 be queried.
7103 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7104 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
7105 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7106 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7107
7108 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7109 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7110 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7111 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7112 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7113 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7114 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7115 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7116 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7117 [Richard Levitte]
7118
7119 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7120 provide utility functions which an application needing
7121 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7122 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7123 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7124
7125 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7126 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7127 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7128 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7129 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7130 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7131 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7132 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7133 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7134
7135 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7136 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7137 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7138 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7139 [Steve Henson]
7140
7141 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7142 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7143 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7144 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7145 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7146 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7147 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7148 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7149 will be added elsewhere.
7150 [Steve Henson]
7151
7152 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7153 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7154 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7155 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7156 [Steve Henson]
7157
7158 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7159 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7160 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7161 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7162 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7163 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7164 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7165 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7166 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7167 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7168 to produce the required SET OF.
7169 [Steve Henson]
7170
7171 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7172 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7173 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7174 [Richard Levitte]
7175
7176 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7177 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7178 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7179 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7180 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7181 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7182 [Steve Henson]
7183
7184 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7185 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7186 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7187 [Steve Henson]
7188
7189 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7190 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7191 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7192 [Richard Levitte]
7193
7194 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7195 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7196 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7197 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7198 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7199 [Steve Henson]
7200
7201 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7202 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7203 [Steve Henson]
7204
7205 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7206 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7207 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7208 certifcates and CRLs.
7209 [Steve Henson]
7210
7211 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7212 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7213 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7217 entries for variables.
7218 [Steve Henson]
7219
7220 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7221 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7222 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7223 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7224 [Bodo Moeller]
7225
7226 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7227 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7228 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7229 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7230 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7231 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7232 [Bodo Moeller]
7233
7234 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7235 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7236
7237 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7238 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7239 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7240 [Steve Henson]
7241
7242 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7243 print routines.
7244 [Steve Henson]
7245
7246 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7247 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7248 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7249 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7250 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7251 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7252 [Steve Henson]
7253
7254 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7255 [Steve Henson]
7256
7257 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7258 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7259 for now but they will eventually go away.
7260 [Steve Henson]
7261
7262 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7263 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7264 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7265 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7266 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7267 has also been converted to the new form.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7271 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7272 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7273 for negative moduli.
7274 [Bodo Moeller]
7275
7276 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7277 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7278 [Bodo Moeller]
7279
7280 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7281 set.
7282 [Bodo Moeller]
7283
7284 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7285 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7286 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7287 type-specific callbacks.
7288 [Geoff Thorpe]
7289
7290 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7291 RFC 2712.
7292 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7293 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7294
7295 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7296 in sections depending on the subject.
7297 [Richard Levitte]
7298
7299 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7300 Windows.
7301 [Richard Levitte]
7302
7303 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7304 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7305 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7306 be handled deterministically).
7307 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7308
7309 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7310 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7311 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7312 [Bodo Moeller]
7313
7314 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7315 [Bodo Moeller]
7316
7317 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7318 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7319 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7320 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7321 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7322 [Bodo Moeller]
7323
7324 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7325 sign of the number in question.
7326
7327 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7328
7329 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7330 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7331 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7332 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7333 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7334 [Bodo Moeller]
7335
7336 *) New function BN_swap.
7337 [Bodo Moeller]
7338
7339 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7340 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7341 results on negative inputs.
7342 [Bodo Moeller]
7343
7344 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7345 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7346 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7347 [Bodo Moeller]
7348
7349 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7350 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7351 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7352 and add new functions:
7353
7354 BN_nnmod
7355 BN_mod_sqr
7356 BN_mod_add
7357 BN_mod_add_quick
7358 BN_mod_sub
7359 BN_mod_sub_quick
7360 BN_mod_lshift1
7361 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7362 BN_mod_lshift
7363 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7364
7365 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7366
7367 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7368 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7369
7370 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7371 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7372 be reduced modulo m.
7373 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7374
7375 #if 0
7376 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7377 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7378 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7379
7380 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7381 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7382 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7383 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7384 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7385 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7386 differing sizes.
7387 [Richard Levitte]
7388 #endif
7389
7390 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7391 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7392 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7393 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7394 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7395
7396 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7397 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7398 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7399 cause any problems.
7400 [Bodo Moeller]
7401
7402 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7403 [Richard Levitte]
7404
7405 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7406 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7407 [Richard Levitte]
7408
7409 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7410 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7411 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7412 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7413 time)
7414 [Richard Levitte]
7415
7416 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7417 [Richard Levitte]
7418
7419 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7420 [Richard Levitte]
7421
7422 *) Add the following functions:
7423
7424 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7425 ENGINE_load_chil()
7426 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7427 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7428 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7429
7430 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7431 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7432 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7433 libraries unless it's really needed.
7434
7435 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7436 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7437 declarations (they differed!).
7438 [Richard Levitte]
7439
7440 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7441 [Richard Levitte]
7442
7443 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7444 [Richard Levitte]
7445
7446 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7447 [Bodo Moeller]
7448
7449 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7450 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7451 [Richard Levitte]
7452
7453 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7454 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7455 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7456
7457 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7458 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7459 [Richard Levitte]
7460
7461 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7462 [Richard Levitte]
7463
7464 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7465 [Richard Levitte]
7466
7467 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7468 [Ben Laurie]
7469
7470 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7471 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7472 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7473
7474 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7475 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7476 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7477 different shared library filenames on each system.
7478 [Geoff Thorpe]
7479
7480 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7481 [Richard Levitte]
7482
7483 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7484 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7485 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7486 of two sections.
7487 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7488
7489 *) NCONF changes.
7490 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7491 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7492 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7493 binary backward compatibility.
7494 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7495 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7496 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7497 LDAP server.
7498 [Richard Levitte]
7499
7500 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7501 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7502 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7503 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7504 this case.
7505 [Steve Henson]
7506
7507 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7508 [Ben Laurie]
7509
7510 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7511 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7512 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7513 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7514 set.
7515 [Steve Henson]
7516
7517 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7518 [Richard Levitte]
7519
7520 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7521
7522 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7523 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7524 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7525
7526 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7527
7528 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7529
7530 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7531 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7532 [Steve Henson]
7533
7534 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7535
7536 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7537
7538 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7539 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7540
7541 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7542 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7543
7544 [Steve Henson]
7545
7546 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7547 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7548 specifications.
7549 [Steve Henson]
7550
7551 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7552 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7553 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7554 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7555
7556 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7557 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7558 [Richard Levitte]
7559
7560 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7561
7562 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7563 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7564 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7565 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7566 [Bodo Moeller]
7567
7568 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7569 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7570 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7571 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7572 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7573
7574 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7575 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7576 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7577 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7578 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7579 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7580 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7581 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7582 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7583 [Bodo Moeller]
7584
7585 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7586
7587 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7588 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7589 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7590 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7591 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7592
7593 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7594 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7595 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7596
7597 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7598
7599 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7600 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7601 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7602 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7603 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7604 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7605 [Geoff Thorpe]
7606
7607 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7608 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7609 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7610 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7611 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7612 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7613
7614 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7615 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7616 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7617
7618 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7619 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7620 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7621 EVP_cleanup().
7622 [Richard Levitte]
7623
7624 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7625 being properly terminated.
7626 [Richard Levitte]
7627
7628 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7629 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7630 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7631 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7632
7633 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7634 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7635 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7636 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7637 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7638 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7639 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7640 change.
7641 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7642
7643 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7644 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7645 [Bodo Moeller]
7646
7647 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7648 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7649 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7650 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7651 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7652 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7653 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7654 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7655
7656 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7657 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7658 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7659 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7660 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7661
7662 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7663 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7664 [Steve Henson]
7665
7666 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7667
7668 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7669 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7670 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7671
7672 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7673
7674 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7675 and get fix the header length calculation.
7676 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7677 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7678 Steve Henson]
7679
7680 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7681 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7682 assertions could call abort()).
7683 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7684
7685 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7686
7687 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7688 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7689 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7690 supplied buffer.
7691 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7692
7693 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7694 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7695 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7696 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7697
7698 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7699 [Nils Larsch]
7700
7701 *) New option
7702 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7703 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7704 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7705
7706 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7707 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7708 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7709 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7710 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7711 applications.
7712 [Bodo Moeller]
7713
7714 *) Changes in security patch:
7715
7716 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7717 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7718 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7719 F30602-01-2-0537.
7720
7721 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7722 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7723 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7724 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7725 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7726
7727 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7728 happen in practice.
7729 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7730
7731 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7732 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7733 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7734
7735 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7736 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7737 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7738
7739 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7740 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7741 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7742
7743 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7744
7745 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7746 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7747 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7748
7749 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7750 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7751
7752 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7753 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7754 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7755 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7756 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7757 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7758 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7759
7760 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7761 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7762 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7763 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7764 [Bodo Moeller]
7765
7766 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7767 [Bodo Moeller]
7768
7769 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7770 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7771 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7772 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7773 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7774 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7775
7776 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7777 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7778 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7779 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7780 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7781 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7782
7783 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7784 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7785 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7786 BN_generate_prime().)
7787
7788 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7789 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7790 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7791 better.
7792 [Bodo Moeller]
7793
7794 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7795 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7796 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7797
7798 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7799 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7800 when using non-blocking I/O.
7801 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7802
7803 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7804 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7805
7806 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7807 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7808 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7809
7810 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7811 configuration for the versions before that.
7812 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7813
7814 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7815 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7816 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7817 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7818 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7819
7820 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7821 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7822 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7823 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7824
7825 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7826 value is 0.
7827 [Richard Levitte]
7828
7829 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7830 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7831 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7832
7833 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7834 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7835
7836 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7837 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7838 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7839 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7840 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7841 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7842 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7843 session cache.
7844
7845 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7846 using a local variable.
7847 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7848
7849 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7850 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7851 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7852
7853 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7854 [Richard Levitte]
7855
7856 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7857 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7858
7859 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7860 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7861 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7862
7863 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7864
7865 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7866 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7867 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7868 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7869 [Bodo Moeller]
7870
7871 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7872 present.
7873 [Steve Henson]
7874
7875 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7876 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7877 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7878 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7879 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7880
7881 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7882 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7883 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7884
7885 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7886 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7887 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7888
7889 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7890 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7891 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7892 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7893
7894 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7895 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7896 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7897 modules).
7898 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7899
7900 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7901 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7902 from 0.9.7.
7903 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7904
7905 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7906 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7907 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7908 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7909
7910 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7911 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7912 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7913 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7914
7915 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7916 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7917
7918 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7919 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7920 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7921 [Bodo Moeller]
7922
7923 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7924 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7925 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7926 become invalid.
7927 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7928
7929 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7930 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7931 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7932 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7933 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7934 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7935 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7936 [Bodo Moeller]
7937
7938 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7939 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7940 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7941 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7942
7943 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7944 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7945 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7946 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7947 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7948 the client will at least see that alert.
7949 [Bodo Moeller]
7950
7951 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7952 correctly.
7953 [Bodo Moeller]
7954
7955 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7956 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7957 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7958
7959 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7960 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
7961 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7962 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7963 HelloRequest.
7964
7965 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7966 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7967 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7968
7969 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7970 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7971 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7972 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7973 may leak via logfiles.)
7974
7975 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7976 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7977 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7978 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7979 the legal range.
7980 [Bodo Moeller]
7981
7982 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7983 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7984 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7985
7986 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7987 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7988 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7989 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7990 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7991 [Bodo Moeller]
7992
7993 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7994 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7995
7996 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7997 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7998 followed by modular reduction.
7999 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8000
8001 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8002 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8003 [Bodo Moeller]
8004
8005 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8006 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8007 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8008 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8009 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8010
8011 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8012 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8013
8014 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8015 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8016 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8017
8018 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8019 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8020 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8021 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8022 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8023 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8024 automatically.
8025 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8026
8027 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8028 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8029 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8030 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8031 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8032
8033 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8034 [Andy Polyakov]
8035
8036 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8037 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8038 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8039 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8040 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8041 to allow the necessary settings.
8042 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8043
8044 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8045 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8046 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8047 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8048 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8049
8050 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8051 dh->length and always used
8052
8053 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8054
8055 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8056 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8057 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8058 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8059 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8060 dh->length.
8061
8062 So switch back to
8063
8064 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8065
8066 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8067 otherwise.
8068 [Bodo Moeller]
8069
8070 *) In
8071
8072 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8073 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8074 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8075 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8076
8077 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8078 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8079 always reject numbers >= n.
8080 [Bodo Moeller]
8081
8082 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8083 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8084 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8085 variable) is not atomic.
8086 [Bodo Moeller]
8087
8088 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8089 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8090 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8091 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8092
8093 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8094 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8095
8096 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8097 little-endian MIPS.
8098 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8099
8100 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8101 [Richard Levitte]
8102
8103 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8104
8105 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8106 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8107 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8108 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8109 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8110 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8111 to traverse all of 'state'.
8112
8113 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8114 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8115 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8116
8117 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8118 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8119
8120 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8121 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8122 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8123 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8124 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8125 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8126 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8127 further strengthens the PRNG.
8128 [Bodo Moeller]
8129
8130 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8131 [Andy Polyakov]
8132
8133 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8134 an error message in this case.
8135 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8136
8137 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8138 [Steve Henson]
8139
8140 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8141 positive and less than q.
8142 [Bodo Moeller]
8143
8144 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8145 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8146 that itself.
8147 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8148
8149 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8150 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8151 [Bodo Moeller]
8152
8153 *) Fix OAEP check.
8154 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8155
8156 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8157 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8158 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8159 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8160 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8161 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8162 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8163 paper.)
8164
8165 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8166 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8167 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8168 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8169
8170 Both problems are now fixed.
8171 [Bodo Moeller]
8172
8173 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8174 (previously it was 1024).
8175 [Bodo Moeller]
8176
8177 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8178 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8179 [Steve Henson]
8180
8181 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8182 [Steve Henson]
8183
8184 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8185 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8186 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8187 [Steve Henson]
8188
8189 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8190 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8191 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8192 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8193 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8194 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8195 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8196 environment variables.
8197
8198 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8199 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8200 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8201 [Bodo Moeller]
8202
8203 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8204 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8205 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8206 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8207 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8208 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8209 [Bodo Moeller]
8210
8211 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8212 versions of 'test'.
8213 [Bodo Moeller]
8214
8215 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8216
8217 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8218 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8219
8220 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8221 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8222 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8223 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8224 CygWin.
8225 [Richard Levitte]
8226
8227 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8228 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8229 amount of data available.
8230 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8231 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8232
8233 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8234 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8235 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8236 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8237 [Bodo Moeller]
8238
8239 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8240 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8241 and UnixWare.
8242 [Richard Levitte]
8243
8244 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8245 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8246 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8247 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8248 [Ulf Moeller]
8249
8250 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8251 [Andy Polyakov]
8252
8253 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8254 [Richard Levitte]
8255
8256 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8257 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8258 [Steve Henson]
8259 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8260
8261 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8262 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8263 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8264 (but broken) behaviour.
8265 [Steve Henson]
8266
8267 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8268 it when found.
8269 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8270
8271 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8272 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8273 [Bodo Moeller]
8274
8275 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8276 did not exist.
8277 [Bodo Moeller]
8278
8279 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8280 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8281
8282 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8283 [Richard Levitte]
8284
8285 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8286 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8287 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8288
8289 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8290 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8291 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8292 [Steve Henson]
8293
8294 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8295 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8296 [Ulf Moeller]
8297
8298 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8299 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8300
8301 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8302
8303 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8304
8305 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8306 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8307 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8308 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8309 [Bodo Moeller]
8310
8311 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8312 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8313
8314 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8315 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8316 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8317
8318 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8319 was empty.
8320 [Steve Henson]
8321 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8322
8323 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8324 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8325 but the code is actually correct.
8326 [Steve Henson]
8327
8328 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8329 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8330 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8331 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8332 and leaves the highest bit random.
8333 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8334
8335 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8336 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8337 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8338 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8339 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8340 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8341 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8342 [Bodo Moeller]
8343
8344 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8345 [Ulf Moeller]
8346
8347 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8348 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8349 [Steve Henson]
8350
8351 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8352 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8353 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8354 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8355 headers.
8356 [Richard Levitte]
8357
8358 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8359 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8360 and break the signature.
8361 [Steve Henson]
8362 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8363
8364 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8365 DH ciphersuites.
8366 [Steve Henson]
8367
8368 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8369 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8370 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8371 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8372 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8373 [Bodo Moeller]
8374
8375 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8376 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8377
8378 *) ./config script fixes.
8379 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8380
8381 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8382 [Bodo Moeller]
8383
8384 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8385 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8386 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8387 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8388 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8389
8390 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8391 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8392 [Bodo Moeller]
8393
8394 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8395 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8396 [Steve Henson]
8397
8398 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8399 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8400 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8401 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8402
8403 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8404 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8405
8406 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8407 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8408 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8409 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8410 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8411
8412 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8413 [Bodo Moeller]
8414
8415 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8416 [Ulf Möller]
8417
8418 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8419 [Ulf Möller]
8420
8421 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8422 [Bodo Moeller]
8423
8424 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8425 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8426 [Bodo Moeller]
8427
8428 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8429 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8430 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8431 result of the server certificate verification.)
8432 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8433
8434 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8435 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8436 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8437 [Bodo Moeller]
8438
8439 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8440 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8441 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8442 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8443 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8444 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8445 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8446 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8447 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8448 [Bodo Moeller]
8449
8450 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8451 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8452 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8453 happening the other way round.
8454 [Geoff Thorpe]
8455
8456 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8457 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8458 [Bodo Moeller]
8459
8460 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8461 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8462 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8463 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8464 [Richard Levitte]
8465
8466 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8467 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8468
8469 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8470
8471 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8472 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8473 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8474 that.
8475
8476 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8477
8478 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8479
8480 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8481 static ones.
8482 [Richard Levitte]
8483
8484 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8485
8486 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8487 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8488 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8489 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8490 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8491
8492 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8493 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8494 matter what.
8495 [Richard Levitte]
8496
8497 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8498 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8499
8500 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8501
8502 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8503 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8504 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8505 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8506 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8507 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8508 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8509 by the Finished messages.
8510 [Bodo Moeller]
8511
8512 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8513 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8514
8515 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8516 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8517 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8518 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8519 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8520 appropriately.
8521 [Steve Henson]
8522
8523 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8524 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8525 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8526 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8527 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8528 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8529 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8530 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8531 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8532 together.
8533 [Steve Henson]
8534
8535 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8536 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8537 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8538 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8539
8540 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8541 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8542 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8543 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8544 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8545 the answer.
8546
8547 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8548 been tested well enough.
8549 [Richard Levitte]
8550
8551 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8552 it can return incorrect results.
8553 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8554 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8555 [Bodo Moeller]
8556
8557 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8558 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8559 include zero length content when signing messages.
8560 [Steve Henson]
8561
8562 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8563 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8564 [Bodo Möller]
8565
8566 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8567 [Richard Levitte]
8568
8569 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8570 wrong sign.
8571 [Ulf Möller]
8572
8573 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8574 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8575 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8576 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8577 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8578 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8579 [Richard Levitte]
8580
8581 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8582 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8583
8584 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8585 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8586
8587 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8588 random number < q in the DSA library.
8589 [Ulf Möller]
8590
8591 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8592 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8593 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8594 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8595 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8596 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8597 just makes things more complicated.)
8598 [Bodo Moeller]
8599
8600 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8601 from EGD.
8602 [Ben Laurie]
8603
8604 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8605 work better on such systems.
8606 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8607
8608 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8609 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8610 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8611 [Steve Henson]
8612
8613 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8614 if there was more than one signature.
8615 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8616
8617 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8618 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8619 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8620 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8621 [Richard Levitte]
8622
8623 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8624 rather than always using the current time.
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8628 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8629 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8630 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8631 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8632 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8633
8634 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8635 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8636
8637 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8638
8639 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8640 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8641 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8642 the same hash value.
8643
8644 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8645 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8646 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8647 with X509_STORE internally.
8648
8649 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8650 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8651
8652 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8653 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8654 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8655 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8656 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8657 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8658 entirely (maybe later...).
8659
8660 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8661
8662 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8663 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8664 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8665 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8666 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8667 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8668 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8669 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8670
8671 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8672 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8673
8674 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8675 to customise the verify behaviour.
8676 [Steve Henson]
8677
8678 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8679 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8680 [Steve Henson]
8681
8682 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8683 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8684 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8685 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8686 request is improperly encoded.
8687 [Steve Henson]
8688
8689 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8690 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8691 BIO_write(b, ...).
8692
8693 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8694 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8695
8696 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8697 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8698 words set to zero.)
8699 [Bodo Moeller]
8700
8701 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8702 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8703 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8704 [Bodo Moeller]
8705
8706 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8707 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8708 BIO/fp routines also added.
8709 [Steve Henson]
8710
8711 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8712 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8713
8714 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8715 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8716 demos/state_machine.
8717 [Ben Laurie]
8718
8719 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8720 generation and verification.
8721 [Steve Henson]
8722
8723 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8724 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8725 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8726 encode and decode it manually.
8727 [Steve Henson]
8728
8729 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8730 compile under VC++.
8731 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8732
8733 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8734 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8735 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8736 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8737
8738 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8739 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8740 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8741 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8742 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8743 [Steve Henson]
8744
8745 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8746 [Richard Levitte]
8747
8748 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8749 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8750 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8751
8752 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8753 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8754 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8755 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8756 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8757 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8758 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8759 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8760
8761 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8762 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8763
8764 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8765
8766 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8767 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8768 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8769
8770 [Richard Levitte]
8771
8772 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8773 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8774 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8775 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8776 [Richard Levitte]
8777
8778 *) MD4 implemented.
8779 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8780
8781 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8782 [Richard Levitte]
8783
8784 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8785 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8786 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8787 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8788 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8789 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8790 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8791 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8792 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8793 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8794 short or long names are found.
8795 [Steve Henson]
8796
8797 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8798 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8799
8800 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8801 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8802 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8803 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8804
8805 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8806 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8807 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8808 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8809 [Bodo Moeller]
8810
8811 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8812 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8813 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8814 [Richard Levitte]
8815
8816 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8817 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8818 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8819 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8820 to allow the various flags to be set.
8821 [Steve Henson]
8822
8823 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8824 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8825 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8826 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8827 dates to be checked.
8828 [Steve Henson]
8829
8830 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8831 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8832 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8833 [Steve Henson]
8834
8835 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8836 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8837 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8838 [Steve Henson]
8839
8840 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8841 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8842 [Bodo Moeller]
8843
8844 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8845 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8846 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8847 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8848 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8849 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8850 [Richard Levitte]
8851
8852 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8853 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8854 Random Numbers.
8855 [Ulf Möller]
8856
8857 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8858 DSA key.
8859 [Steve Henson]
8860
8861 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8862 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8863 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8864 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8865 form signing output easier to verify.
8866 [Steve Henson]
8867
8868 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8869 [Steve Henson]
8870
8871 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8872 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8873 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8874 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8875 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8876 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8877 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8878 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8879 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8880 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8881 [Steve Henson]
8882
8883 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8884
8885 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8886 the syntax given in objects.README.
8887 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8888 obj_mac.h.
8889 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8890 obj_mac.h.
8891
8892 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8893 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8894 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8895 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8896 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8897 consistent name changes.
8898 [Richard Levitte]
8899
8900 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8901 [Bodo Moeller]
8902
8903 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8904 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8905 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8906 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8907 [Richard Levitte]
8908
8909 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8910 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8911 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8912 of safestack.h .
8913 [Steve Henson]
8914
8915 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8916 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8917 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8918 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8919 [Steve Henson]
8920
8921 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8922 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8923 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8924 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8925 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8926 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8927 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8928 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8929 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8930 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8931 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8932 [Steve Henson]
8933
8934 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8935 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8936 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8937 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
8938 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8939 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8940 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8941 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8942 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8943 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8944 [Steve Henson]
8945
8946 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8947 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8948 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8949 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8950
8951 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8952 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8953 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8954 omit any duplicate addresses.
8955 [Steve Henson]
8956
8957 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8958 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8959 [Bodo Moeller]
8960
8961 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8962 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8963 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8964 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8965 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8966 [Bodo Moeller]
8967
8968 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8969 software:
8970 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8971 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8972 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8973 Free => OPENSSL_free
8974 [Richard Levitte]
8975
8976 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8977 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8978 [Bodo Moeller]
8979
8980 *) CygWin32 support.
8981 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8982
8983 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8984 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8985 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8986 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8987 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8988 approach.
8989 [Geoff Thorpe]
8990
8991 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8992 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8993 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8994 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8995 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8996 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8997 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8998 [Geoff Thorpe]
8999
9000 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9001 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9002 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9003 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9004 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9005 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9006 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9007 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9008 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9009 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9010 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9011 [Bodo Moeller]
9012
9013 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9014 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9015 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9016 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9017 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9018
9019 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9020 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9021 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9022 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9023 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9024
9025 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9026 ciphers.
9027
9028 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9029 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9030 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9031 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9032
9033 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9034
9035 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9036 of macros.
9037
9038 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9039 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9040 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9041 flags.
9042
9043 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9044 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9045 any installed hardware versions can.
9046 [Steve Henson]
9047
9048 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9049 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9050 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9051 number.
9052 [Bodo Moeller]
9053
9054 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9055 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9056 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9057 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9058 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9059
9060 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9061 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9062 [Steve Henson]
9063
9064 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9065 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9066 [Richard Levitte]
9067
9068 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9069 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9070 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9071 features.
9072 [Steve Henson]
9073
9074 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9075 [Ulf Möller]
9076
9077 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9078 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9079 but no ssl client purpose.
9080 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9081
9082 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9083 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9084 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9085 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9086 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9087 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9088 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9089 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9090 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9091 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9092 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9093 [Steve Henson]
9094
9095 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9096 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9097 be obtained from the error queue.
9098 [Bodo Moeller]
9099
9100 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9101 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9102 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9103 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9104 [Bodo Moeller]
9105
9106 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9107 [Ulf Möller]
9108
9109 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9110 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9111 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9112 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9113 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9114 [Geoff Thorpe]
9115
9116 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9117 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9118 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9119 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9120 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9121 [Geoff Thorpe]
9122
9123 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9124 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9125 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9126 may not be NULL.
9127 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9128
9129 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9130 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9131 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9132 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9133 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9134 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9135 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9136 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9137 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9138 or "the configuration storage API"...
9139
9140 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9141
9142 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9143 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9144
9145 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9146
9147 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9148
9149 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9150 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9151 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9152 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9153 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9154 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9155 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9156
9157 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9158 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9159 [Richard Levitte]
9160
9161 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9162 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9163 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9164 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9165 [Bodo Moeller]
9166
9167 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9168 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9169 them in a portable way.
9170 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9171
9172 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9173
9174 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9175
9176 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9177 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9178
9179 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9180 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9181 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9182 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9183
9184 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9185 was larger than the MD block size.
9186 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9187
9188 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9189 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9190 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9191 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9192 components.
9193 [Steve Henson]
9194
9195 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9196 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9197 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9198
9199 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9200 discouraged.
9201 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9202
9203 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9204 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9205 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9206 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9207 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9208 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9209
9210 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9211 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9212
9213 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9214 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9215 [Bodo Moeller]
9216
9217 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9218 [Bodo Moeller]
9219
9220 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9221 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9222 its own key.
9223 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9224 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9225 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9226 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9227 [Bodo Moeller]
9228
9229 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9230 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9231 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9232 does not suppress any output.
9233 [Richard Levitte]
9234
9235 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9236 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9237 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9238 with all the associated security issues.
9239
9240 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9241 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9242 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9243 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9244 use the value in the default purpose.
9245 [Steve Henson]
9246
9247 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9248 and fix a memory leak.
9249 [Steve Henson]
9250
9251 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9252 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9253 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9254 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9255 [Bodo Moeller]
9256
9257 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9258 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9259 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9260 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9261 [Bodo Moeller]
9262
9263 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9264 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9265 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9266 [Bodo Moeller]
9267
9268 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9269 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9270 [Bodo Moeller]
9271
9272 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9273 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9274 which was free.
9275 [Steve Henson]
9276
9277 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9278 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9279 [Bodo Moeller]
9280
9281 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9282 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9283 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9284 [Bodo Moeller]
9285
9286 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9287 number generation fails.
9288 [Bodo Moeller]
9289
9290 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9291 [Bodo Moeller]
9292
9293 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9294 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9295
9296 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9297 [Ulf Möller]
9298
9299 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9300 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9301
9302 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9303 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9304
9305 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9306
9307 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9308 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9309 [Steve Henson]
9310
9311 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9312 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9313
9314 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9315 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9316 [Ulf Möller]
9317
9318 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9319 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9320 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9321 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9322 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9323 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9324
9325 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9326 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9327 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9328 for example.
9329 [Steve Henson]
9330
9331 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9332 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9333 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9334 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9335 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9336 counter, some don't.)
9337 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9338 counters or duplicate objects.
9339 [Steve Henson]
9340
9341 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9342 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9343 [Steve Henson]
9344
9345 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9346 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9347 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9348
9349 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9350 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9351 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9352 or -rand.
9353 [Ulf Möller]
9354
9355 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9356 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9357 [Steve Henson]
9358
9359 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9360 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9361 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9362 cipher list.
9363 [Steve Henson]
9364
9365 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9366 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9367 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9368 [Steve Henson]
9369
9370 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9371 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9372 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9373 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9374 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9375 should work without changes.
9376 [Richard Levitte]
9377
9378 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9379 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9380 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9381 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9382 must be defined. E.g.,
9383 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9384 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9385 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9386 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9387
9388 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9389 record layer.
9390 [Bodo Moeller]
9391
9392 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9393 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9394 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9395 [Steve Henson]
9396
9397 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9398 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9399 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9400 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9401 [Steve Henson]
9402
9403 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9404 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9405 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9406 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9407 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9408 is prompted for as usual.
9409 [Steve Henson]
9410
9411 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9412 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9413 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9414 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9415
9416 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9417 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9418 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9419 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9420 [Steve Henson]
9421
9422 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9423 [Andy Polyakov]
9424
9425 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9426 of seed file.
9427 [Steve Henson]
9428
9429 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9430 [Bodo Moeller]
9431
9432 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9433 [Steve Henson]
9434
9435 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9436 bits.
9437 [Ulf Möller]
9438
9439 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9440 [Ulf Möller]
9441
9442 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9443 [Andy Polyakov]
9444
9445 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9446 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9447 [Ulf Möller]
9448
9449 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9450 options to produce them.
9451 [Steve Henson]
9452
9453 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9454 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9455 [Ulf Möller]
9456
9457 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9458 for p == 0.
9459 [Ulf Möller]
9460
9461 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9462 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9463 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9464 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9465 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9466 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9467 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9468 [Steve Henson]
9469
9470 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9471 [Steve Henson]
9472
9473 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9474 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9475 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9476 [Bodo Moeller]
9477
9478 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9479 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9480
9481 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9482 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9483 [Ulf Möller]
9484
9485 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9486 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9487 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9488 has already seen).
9489 [Bodo Moeller]
9490
9491 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9492 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9493
9494 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9495 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9496 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9497 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9498 generation becomes much faster.
9499
9500 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9501 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9502 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9503 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9504 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9505 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9506 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9507 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9508 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9509 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9510 [Bodo Moeller]
9511
9512 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9513 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9514 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9515 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9516 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9517 trial division stage.
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9521 as ASN1_TIME.
9522 [Steve Henson]
9523
9524 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9525 [Steve Henson]
9526
9527 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9528 [Ulf Möller]
9529
9530 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9531 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9532 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9533 the comments.
9534 [Ulf Möller]
9535
9536 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9537 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9538 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9542 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9543 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9544 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9545
9546 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9547 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9548 [Steve Henson]
9549
9550 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9551 [Ulf Möller]
9552
9553 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9554 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9555 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9556 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9557 [Ulf Möller]
9558
9559 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9560 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9561 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9562 [Ulf Möller]
9563
9564 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9565 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9566 (instead of parameters) in future.
9567 [Steve Henson]
9568
9569 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9570 when a new cipher list is set.
9571 [Steve Henson]
9572
9573 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9574 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9575 wrong.
9576
9577 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9578 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9579 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9580
9581 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9582 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9583 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9584 an error is flagged.
9585
9586 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9587 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9588 the readability was also increased :-)
9589 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9590
9591 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9592 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9593 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9594 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9595 as the root CA.
9596 [Steve Henson]
9597
9598 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9599 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9600 [Steve Henson]
9601
9602 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9603 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9604 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9605 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9606 instead.
9607
9608 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9609 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9610 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9611 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9612 because they handle more complex structures.)
9613 [Steve Henson]
9614
9615 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9616 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9617 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9618 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9619
9620 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9621 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9622 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9623 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9624 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9625 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9626 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9627 [Ulf Möller]
9628
9629 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9630 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9631 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9632 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9633 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9634 [Bodo Moeller]
9635
9636 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9637 [Bodo Moeller]
9638
9639 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9640 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9641 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9642 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9643 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9644 to use this.
9645
9646 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9647 code.
9648 [Steve Henson]
9649
9650 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9651 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9652 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9653 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9654 [Steve Henson]
9655
9656 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9657 [Ulf Möller]
9658
9659 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9660 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9661 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9662 international characters are used.
9663
9664 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9665 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9666 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9667 in ASN1 order.
9668 [Steve Henson]
9669
9670 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9671 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9672 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9673 request.
9674
9675 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9676 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9677 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9678 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9679 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9680 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9681
9682 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9683 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9684 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9685 be handled by the string table functions.
9686
9687 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9688 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9689 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9690 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9691 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9692 types at all.
9693 [Steve Henson]
9694
9695 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9696 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9697 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9698 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9699 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9700
9701 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9702 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9703 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9704 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9705 [Bodo Moeller]
9706
9707 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9708 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9709 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9710 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9711 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9712 SHA1.
9713 [Andy Polyakov]
9714
9715 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9716 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9717 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9718 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9719 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9720 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9721 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9722 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9723
9724 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9725 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9726 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9727 [Steve Henson]
9728
9729 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9730 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9731 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9732 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9733 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9734 support to pkcs8 application.
9735 [Steve Henson]
9736
9737 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9738 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9739 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9740 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9741 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9742 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9743 [Bodo Moeller]
9744
9745 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9746 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9747 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9748 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9749 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9750 consistency.
9751 [Bodo Moeller]
9752
9753 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9754 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9755 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9756 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9757 example.
9758 [Steve Henson]
9759
9760 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9761 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9762 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9763 and any application specific purposes.
9764
9765 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9766 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9767 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9768 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9769 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9770 if the certificate is self signed.
9771 [Steve Henson]
9772
9773 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9774 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9775 [Steve Henson]
9776
9777 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9778 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9779 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9780 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9781 [Steve Henson]
9782
9783 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9784 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9785 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9786 Update documentation.
9787 [Steve Henson]
9788
9789 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9790 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9791 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9792 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9793 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9794 [Steve Henson]
9795
9796 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9797 for details.
9798 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9799
9800 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9801 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9802 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9803 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9804 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9805 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9806 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9807 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9808 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9809 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9810
9811 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9812
9813 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9814 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9815 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9816 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9817 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9818
9819 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9820 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9821 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9822 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9823 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9824 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9825 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9826 request additional information:
9827 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9828 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9829
9830 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9831 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9832 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9833 options.
9834
9835 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9836 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9837
9838 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9839 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9840 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9841
9842 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9843 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9844
9845 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9846 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9847 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9848 algorithm.
9849 [Steve Henson]
9850
9851 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9852 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9853 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9854
9855 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9856 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9857 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9858 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9859 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9860 included in OpenSSL.
9861 [Steve Henson]
9862
9863 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9864 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9865 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9866 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9867 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9868 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9869 [Bodo Moeller]
9870
9871 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9872 PKCS12 structure.
9873 [Steve Henson]
9874
9875 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9876 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9877 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9878 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9879 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9880 structure.
9881 [Steve Henson]
9882
9883 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9884 need initialising.
9885 [Steve Henson]
9886
9887 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9888 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9889 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9890 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9891 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9892 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9893 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9894 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9895 be maintained manually.
9896
9897 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9898 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9899 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9900 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9901 work because people forget to call this function]
9902 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9903 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9904 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9905 [Steve Henson]
9906
9907 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9908 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9909 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9910 should be discouraged from doing it.
9911 [Ben Laurie]
9912
9913 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9914 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9915 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9916 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9917 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9918 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9922 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9923 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9924
9925 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9926 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9927 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9928
9929 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9930 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9931 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9932 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9933 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9934 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9935
9936 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9937 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9938 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9939
9940 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9941 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9942 and vice versa.
9943
9944 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9945 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9946 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9947 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9948 [Steve Henson]
9949
9950 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9951 [Steve Henson]
9952
9953 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9954 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9955 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9956 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9957 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9958 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9959 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9960 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9961 keys so we should be OK.
9962
9963 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9964 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9965 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9966 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9967 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9968 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9969 stay in the name of compatibility.
9970
9971 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9972 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9973 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9974
9975 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9976 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9977 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9978 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9979 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9980 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9981 supplied key).
9982 [Steve Henson]
9983
9984 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9985 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9986 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9987 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9988 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9989 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9990 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9991 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9992 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9993 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9994 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9995 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9996 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9997 [Steve Henson]
9998
9999 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10000 [Steve Henson]
10001
10002 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10003 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10004 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10005 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10006 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10007 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10008 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10009 openssl verify ss.pem
10010 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10011 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10012 is OK.
10013 [Steve Henson]
10014
10015 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10016 (and add it to external session representation).
10017 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10018 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10019 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10020 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10021 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10022 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10023 security holes.
10024 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10025
10026 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10027 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10028 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10029 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10030
10031 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10032 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10033 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10034 [Steve Henson]
10035
10036 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10037 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10038 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10039 code.
10040 [Steve Henson]
10041
10042 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10043 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10044 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10045
10046 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10047 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10048 certificate auxiliary information.
10049 [Steve Henson]
10050
10051 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10052 the 'enc' command.
10053 [Steve Henson]
10054
10055 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10056 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10057 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10058 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10059 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10060 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10061 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10062 [Richard Levitte]
10063
10064 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10065 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10069 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10070 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10071 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10072 [Steve Henson]
10073
10074 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10075 [Steve Henson]
10076
10077 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10078 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10079 [Steve Henson]
10080
10081 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10082 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10083 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10084 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10085 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10086 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10087 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10088 using the new 'x509' options.
10089
10090 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10091 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10092 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10093 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10094 for all purposes.
10095 [Steve Henson]
10096
10097 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10098 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10099 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10100 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10101 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10102 [Mark Cox]
10103
10104 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10105 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10106 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10107 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10108 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10109 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10110 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10111 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10112 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10113 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10114 [Steve Henson]
10115
10116 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10117 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10118 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10119 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10120 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10121 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10122 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10123 [Steve Henson]
10124
10125 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10126 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10127 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10128 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10129 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10130 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10131 openssl.cnf for more info.
10132 [Steve Henson]
10133
10134 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10135 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10136 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10137 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10138 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10139 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10140 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10141 md should be large enough anyway.
10142 [Bodo Moeller]
10143
10144 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10145 for handling the random seed file.
10146
10147 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10148 ca,
10149 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10150 s_client,
10151 s_server,
10152 x509 (when signing).
10153 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10154 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10155 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10156
10157 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10158 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10159 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10160 that support '-rand'.
10161 [Bodo Moeller]
10162
10163 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10164 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10165 [Bodo Moeller]
10166
10167 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10168 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10169 [Bill Perry]
10170
10171 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10172 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10173 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10174 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10175 is suitable.
10176 [Steve Henson]
10177
10178 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10179 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10180 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10181 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10182 [Steve Henson]
10183
10184 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10185 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10186 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10187 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10188 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10189 print out all the purposes.
10190 [Steve Henson]
10191
10192 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10193 functions.
10194 [Steve Henson]
10195
10196 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10197 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10198 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10199 single function call.
10200 [Steve Henson]
10201
10202 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10203 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10204 [Andy Polyakov]
10205
10206 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10207 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10208 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10209 [Steve Henson]
10210
10211 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10212 when producing the local key id.
10213 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10214
10215 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10216 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10217 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10218 "server.pem".
10219 [Steve Henson]
10220
10221 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10222 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10223 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10224 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10225 [Steve Henson]
10226
10227 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10228 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10229 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10230 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10231
10232 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10233 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10234 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10235 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10236
10237 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10238 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10239 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10240 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10241 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10242 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10243 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10244 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10245 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10246 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10247 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10248 trivial: move one line.
10249 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10250
10251 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10252 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10253 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10254 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10255 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10256 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10257 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10258 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10259 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10260 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10261 with an event loop for example.
10262 [Steve Henson]
10263
10264 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10265 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10266 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10267 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10268 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10269 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10270 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10271 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10272 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10273 [Steve Henson]
10274
10275 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10276 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10277 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10278 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10279 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10280 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10281 [Steve Henson]
10282
10283 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10284 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10285 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10286 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10287
10288 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10289 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10290 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10291 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10292 key generation.
10293 [Steve Henson]
10294
10295 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10296 (still largely untested)
10297 [Bodo Moeller]
10298
10299 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10300 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10301 [Steve Henson]
10302
10303 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10304 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10305 [Steve Henson]
10306
10307 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10308 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10309 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10310 [Bodo Moeller]
10311
10312 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10313 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10314 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10315 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10316 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10317 [Steve Henson]
10318
10319 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10320 [Andy Polyakov]
10321
10322 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10323 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10324 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10325 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10326 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10327 in ca.
10328 [Steve Henson]
10329
10330 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10331 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10332 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10333 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10334 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10338 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10339 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10340 are otherwise ignored at present.
10341 [Steve Henson]
10342
10343 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10344 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10345 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10346 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10347 copied until the next read.
10348 [Steve Henson]
10349
10350 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10351 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10352 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10353 [Steve Henson]
10354
10355 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10356 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10357 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10358 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10359 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10360 associated functions.
10361 [Steve Henson]
10362
10363 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10364 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10365 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10366 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10367 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10368 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10369 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10370 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10371 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10372 memory BIOs.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10376 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10377 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10378 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10379 [Bodo Moeller]
10380
10381 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10382 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10383 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10384 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10385 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10386 functionality.
10387 [Steve Henson]
10388
10389 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10390 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10391 under Win32.
10392 [Steve Henson]
10393
10394 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10395 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10396 extensions to be obtained and added.
10397 [Steve Henson]
10398
10399 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10400 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10401 [Bodo Moeller]
10402
10403 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10404
10405 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10406 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10407
10408 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10409 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10410
10411 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10412 program.
10413 [Steve Henson]
10414
10415 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10416 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10417 DH parameters contain its length).
10418
10419 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10420 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10421 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10422 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10423 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10424 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10425 utter importance to use
10426 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10427 or
10428 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10429 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10430 attacks may become possible!
10431 [Bodo Moeller]
10432
10433 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10434 [Bodo Moeller]
10435
10436 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10437 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10438 [Steve Henson]
10439
10440 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10441 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10442 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10443 or long name.
10444 [Steve Henson]
10445
10446 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10447 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10448 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10449 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10450 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10451 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10452 private key operations.
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10456 [Andy Polyakov]
10457
10458 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10459 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10460 to
10461 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10462 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10463 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10464 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10465 the password callback is called.
10466 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10467
10468 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10469
10470 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10471 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10472 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10473 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10474 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10475 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10476 this will work.
10477
10478 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10479 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10480 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10481 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10482 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10483 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10484 [Bodo Moeller]
10485
10486 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10487 [Andy Polyakov]
10488
10489 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10490 delete an unused file.
10491 [Ulf Möller]
10492
10493 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10494 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10495 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10496 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10497 [Steve Henson]
10498
10499 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10500 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10501 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10502 of an error.
10503 [Bodo Moeller]
10504
10505 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10506 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10507 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10508
10509 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10510 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10511 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10512 comparison" warnings.
10513 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10514 [Steve Henson]
10515
10516 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10517 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10518 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10522 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10523
10524 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10525 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10526
10527 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10528 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10529 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10530
10531 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10532 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10533 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10534 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10535 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10536 this bug.
10537 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10538
10539 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10540 The interface is as follows:
10541 Applications can use
10542 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10543 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10544 "off" is now the default.
10545 The library internally uses
10546 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10547 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10548 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10549
10550 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10551 even the default) are now avoided.
10552
10553 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10554 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10555 than just having a counter.
10556
10557 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10558
10559 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10560 extensions.
10561 [Bodo Moeller]
10562
10563 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10564 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10565 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10566 Initial "mode" flags are:
10567
10568 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10569 a single record has been written.
10570 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10571 retries use the same buffer location.
10572 (But all of the contents must be
10573 copied!)
10574 [Bodo Moeller]
10575
10576 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10577 worked.
10578
10579 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10580 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10581
10582 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10583 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10584 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10585 [Steve Henson]
10586
10587 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10588 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10589 test programs.
10590 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10591
10592 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10593 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10594 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10595 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10596 point to the end.
10597 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10598 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10599
10600 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10601 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10602 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10603 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10604 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10605 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10606 [Steve Henson]
10607
10608 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10609 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10610 necessary function names.
10611 [Steve Henson]
10612
10613 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10614 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10615 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10616 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10617 [Bodo Moeller]
10618
10619 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10620 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10621 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10622 [Steve Henson]
10623
10624 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10625 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10626 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10627 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10628 such programs?)
10629 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10630 need locks.
10631 [Bodo Moeller]
10632
10633 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10634 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10635 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10636 [Bodo Moeller]
10637
10638 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10639 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10640 appropriate.
10641 [Bodo Moeller]
10642
10643 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10644 for the encoded length.
10645 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10646
10647 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10651 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10652 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10653 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10654 [Steve Henson]
10655
10656 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10657 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10659
10660 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10661 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10662 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10663 unusual formatting.
10664 [Steve Henson]
10665
10666 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10667 to use the new extension code.
10668 [Steve Henson]
10669
10670 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10671 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10672 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10673 constant.
10674 [Steve Henson]
10675
10676 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10677 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10678 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10679 [Bodo Moeller]
10680
10681 #if 0
10682 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10683 [Ben Laurie]
10684 #else
10685 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10686 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10687 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10688 #endif
10689
10690 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10691 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10692 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10693 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10694 [Ben Laurie]
10695
10696 *) DES library cleanups.
10697 [Ulf Möller]
10698
10699 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10700 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10701 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10702 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10703 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10704 of v2.0.
10705 [Steve Henson]
10706
10707 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10708 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10709 [Bodo Moeller]
10710
10711 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10712 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10713 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10714 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10715 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10716 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10717 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10718 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10719 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10720 [Steve Henson]
10721
10722 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10723 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10724 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10725 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10726 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10727 value doesn't matter.
10728 [Steve Henson]
10729
10730 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10731 support mutable.
10732 [Ben Laurie]
10733
10734 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10735 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10736 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10737 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10738
10739 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10740 [Ulf Möller]
10741
10742 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10743 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10744 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10745
10746 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10747 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10748
10749 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10750 [Ben Laurie]
10751
10752 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10753 [Ben Laurie]
10754
10755 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10756 [Ben Laurie]
10757
10758 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10759 [Bodo Moeller]
10760
10761
10762 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10763
10764 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10765
10766 *) Updated some demos.
10767 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10768
10769 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10770 [Wu Zhigang]
10771
10772 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10773 [Steve Henson]
10774
10775 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10776 [Steve Henson]
10777
10778 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10779 instead of using a fixed path.
10780 [Bodo Moeller]
10781
10782 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10783 [Andy Polyakov]
10784
10785 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10786 [Richard Levitte]
10787
10788
10789 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10790
10791 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10792 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10793 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10794
10795 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10796 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10797 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10798 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10799 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10800 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10801 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10802 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10803 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10804 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10805 [Steve Henson]
10806
10807 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10808 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10809 [Steve Henson]
10810
10811 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10812 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10813 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10814 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10815 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10816
10817 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10818 [Bodo Moeller]
10819
10820 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10821 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10822 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10823 [Steve Henson]
10824
10825 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10826 [Ben Laurie]
10827
10828 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10829 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10830 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10831 key elements as negative integers.
10832 [Steve Henson]
10833
10834 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10835 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10836
10837 *) VMS support.
10838 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10839
10840 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10841 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10842 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10843 [Steve Henson]
10844
10845 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10846 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10847 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10848 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10849 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10850 [Bodo Moeller]
10851
10852 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10853 [Ulf Möller]
10854
10855 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10856 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10857 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10858 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10859
10860 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10861 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10862 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10863
10864 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10865 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10866 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10867 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10868 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10869 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10870 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10871 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10872 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10873
10874 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10875 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10876 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10877 does not influence s as it used to.
10878
10879 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10880 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10881 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10882 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10883 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10884 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10885 [Bodo Moeller]
10886
10887 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10888 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10889 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10890 key type.
10891 [Steve Henson]
10892
10893 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10894 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10895 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10896 and 'x509').
10897 [Steve Henson]
10898
10899 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10900 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10901 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10902 extension option.
10903 [Steve Henson]
10904
10905 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10906 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10907 [Ben Laurie]
10908
10909 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10910 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10911
10912 *) Support Mingw32.
10913 [Ulf Möller]
10914
10915 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10916 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10917
10918 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10919 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10920
10921 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10922 [Ulf Möller]
10923
10924 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10925 [Anonymous]
10926
10927 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10929
10930 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10931 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10932 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10933 DER-encoded.)
10934 [Bodo Moeller]
10935
10936 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10937 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10938 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10939 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10940 now it really counts the depth.
10941 [Bodo Moeller]
10942
10943 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10944 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10945 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10946 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10947 didn't match the private key).
10948
10949 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10950 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10951 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10952 [Bodo Moeller]
10953
10954 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10955 [Ulf Möller]
10956
10957 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10958 David Harris.
10959 [Bodo Moeller]
10960
10961 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10962 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10963 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10964 [Bodo Moeller]
10965
10966 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10967 [Bodo Moeller]
10968
10969 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10970 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10971 such as /usr/local/bin.
10972 [Bodo Moeller]
10973
10974 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10975 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10976
10977 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10978 [Ulf Möller]
10979
10980 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10981 extension adding in x509 utility.
10982 [Steve Henson]
10983
10984 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10985 [Ulf Möller]
10986
10987 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10988 prototypes.
10989 [Steve Henson]
10990
10991 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10992 [Ulf Möller]
10993
10994 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10995 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10996 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10997 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10998 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10999 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11000 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11001 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11002 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11003 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11004 [Steve Henson]
11005
11006 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11007 [Bodo Moeller]
11008
11009 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11010 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11011 [Bodo Moeller]
11012
11013 *) Fix some race conditions.
11014 [Bodo Moeller]
11015
11016 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11017 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11018 [Steve Henson]
11019
11020 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11021 [Ulf Möller]
11022
11023 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11024 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11025 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11026 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11027
11028 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11029 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11030
11031 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11032 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11033 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11034
11035 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11036 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11037
11038 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11039 [Ulf Möller]
11040
11041 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11042 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11043
11044 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11045 [Ulf Möller]
11046
11047 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11048 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11049
11050 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11051 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11052 [Steve Henson]
11053
11054 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11055 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11056 [Ben Laurie]
11057
11058 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11059 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11060 [Steve Henson]
11061
11062 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11063 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11067 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11068 [Steve Henson]
11069
11070 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11071 support typesafe stack.
11072 [Steve Henson]
11073
11074 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11075 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11076
11077 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11078 old X509V3 handling code.
11079 [Steve Henson]
11080
11081 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11082 [Ulf Möller]
11083
11084 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11085 [Bodo Moeller]
11086
11087 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11088 [Ben Laurie]
11089
11090 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11091 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11092
11093 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11094 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11095 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11096 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11097 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11098 [Ben Laurie]
11099
11100 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11101 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11102 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11103 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11104 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11105
11106 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11107 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11108 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11110
11111 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11112 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11113 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11115
11116 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11117 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11118 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11119 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11120 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11121 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11122 [Bodo Moeller]
11123
11124 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11125 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11126 [Bodo Moeller]
11127
11128 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11129 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11130 [Ulf Möller]
11131
11132 *) Tweaks to Configure
11133 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11134
11135 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11136 yet...
11137 [Steve Henson]
11138
11139 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11140 [Ulf Möller]
11141
11142 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11143 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11144 [Ulf Möller]
11145
11146 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11147 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11148 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11149 [Bodo Moeller]
11150
11151 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11152 [Bodo Moeller]
11153
11154 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11155 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11156 [Steve Henson]
11157
11158 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11159 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11160 to library startup routines.
11161 [Steve Henson]
11162
11163 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11164 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11165 codes along the way.
11166 [Steve Henson]
11167
11168 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11169 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11170 objects to objects.h
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11174 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11175 [Steve Henson]
11176
11177 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11178 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11179
11180 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11181 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11182 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11183
11184 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11185 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11186 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11187
11188 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11189 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11190 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11191
11192
11193 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11194
11195 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11196 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11197 [Ben Laurie]
11198
11199 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11200 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11201 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11202 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11203 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11204
11205 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11206 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11207 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11208 document.
11209 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11210
11211 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11212 Malloc, Free.
11213 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11214
11215 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11216 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11217
11218 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11219 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11220 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11221 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11222
11223 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11224 [Ben Laurie]
11225
11226 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11227 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11228 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11229 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11230 [Steve Henson]
11231
11232 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11233 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11234 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11235 [Steve Henson]
11236
11237 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11238 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11239 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11240 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11241 installed as `perl').
11242 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11243
11244 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11245 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11246
11247 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11248 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11249 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11250 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11251 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11252 [Steve Henson]
11253
11254 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11255 [Ben Laurie]
11256
11257 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11258 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11259 is horrible: I feel ill....
11260 [Steve Henson]
11261
11262 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11263 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11264 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11265 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11266 [Steve Henson]
11267
11268 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11269 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11270
11271 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11272 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11273 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11274 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11275
11276 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11277 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11278 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11279 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11280 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11281 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11282 openssl_bio.xs.
11283 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11284
11285 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11286 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11287
11288 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11289 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11290
11291 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11292 [Ben Laurie]
11293
11294 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11295 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11296 in CRLs.
11297 [Steve Henson]
11298
11299 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11300 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11301 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11302 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11303 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11304 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11305 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11306 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11307 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11308 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11309 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11310
11311 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11312 [Ben Laurie]
11313
11314 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11315 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11316 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11317 for linking it into DSOs.
11318 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11319
11320 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11321 Fixed.
11322 [Ben Laurie]
11323
11324 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11325 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11326 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11327 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11328 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11329 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11330
11331 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11332 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11333 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11334 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11335 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11336 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11338
11339 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11340 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11341 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11342 encryption.
11343 [Ben Laurie]
11344
11345 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11346 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11347 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11348 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11349 [Steve Henson]
11350
11351 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11352 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11353 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11354 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11355 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11356 field as blank.
11357 [Steve Henson]
11358
11359 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11360 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11361 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11362 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11364
11365 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11366 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11367 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11368
11369 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11370 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11371
11372 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11373 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11374 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11375 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11376 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11377 [Steve Henson]
11378
11379 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11380 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11381 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11382 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11383 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11384 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11385 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11386 [Ben Laurie]
11387
11388 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11389 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11390 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11391 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11392 [Ben Laurie]
11393
11394 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11395 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11396
11397 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11398 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11399 [Steve Henson]
11400
11401 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11402 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11403 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11404 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11405 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11406 (e.g. s_server).
11407 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11408 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11409 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11410 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11411 no way to reconfigure them.
11412 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11413 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11414 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11415 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11416 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11417 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11418
11419 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11420 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11421 recognized by the users.
11422 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11423
11424 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11425 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11426 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11427 already masked variable.
11428 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11429
11430 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11431 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11432
11433 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11434 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11435 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11436 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11437
11438 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11439 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11441
11442 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11443 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11444 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11445 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11446 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11447 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11448 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11449 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11450 now, too.
11451 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11452
11453 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11454 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11455 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11456
11457 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11458 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11459 config file.
11460 [Steve Henson]
11461
11462 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11463 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11464
11465 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11466 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11467 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11468 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11469 [Ben Laurie]
11470
11471 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11472 [Steve Henson]
11473
11474 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11475 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11476
11477 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11478 [Ben Laurie]
11479
11480 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11481 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11482 [Steve Henson]
11483
11484 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11485 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11486 [Steve Henson]
11487
11488 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11489 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11490 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11491 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11492 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11493 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11494 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11495 Ben Laurie]
11496
11497 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11498 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11499
11500 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11501 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11502 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11503 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11504 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11505
11506 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11507 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11508 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11509 [Steve Henson]
11510
11511 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11512 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11513 an example.
11514 [Steve Henson]
11515
11516 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11517 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11518 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11519
11520 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11521 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11522 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11523 build instructions.
11524 [Steve Henson]
11525
11526 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11527 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11528 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11529 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11530 [Steve Henson]
11531
11532 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11533 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11534 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11535 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11536 [Ben Laurie]
11537
11538 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11539 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11540 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11541 so it wasn't spotted.
11542 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11543
11544 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11545 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11546 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11547 vectors if you have them.
11548 [Ben Laurie]
11549
11550 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11551 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11552 [Ben Laurie]
11553
11554 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11555 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11556 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11557 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11558 If you do a:
11559 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11560 it will update them.
11561 [Steve Henson]
11562
11563 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11564 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11565 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11566 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11567 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11568 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11569 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11570 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11571
11572 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11573 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11574 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11575 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11576 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11577 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11578 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11579 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11580 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11581 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11582
11583 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11584 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11585 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11586 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11587 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11588 [Steve Henson]
11589
11590 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11591 INTEGER code.
11592 [Steve Henson]
11593
11594 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11595 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11596
11597 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11598 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11599
11600 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11601 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11602 [Ben Laurie]
11603
11604 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11605 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11606
11607 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11608 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11609
11610 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11611 [Steve Henson]
11612
11613 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11614 few typos.
11615 [Steve Henson]
11616
11617 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11618 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11619 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11620 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11621
11622 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11623 [Steve Henson]
11624
11625 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11626 [Steve Henson]
11627
11628 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11629 [Steve Henson]
11630
11631 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11632 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11633 [Steve Henson]
11634
11635 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11636 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11637 CA extensions.
11638 [Steve Henson]
11639
11640 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11641 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11642 [Steve Henson]
11643
11644 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11645 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11646 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11647 [Steve Henson]
11648
11649 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11650 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11651 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11652 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11653 properly to be processed.
11654 [Steve Henson]
11655
11656 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11657 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11658 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11659 [Ben Laurie]
11660
11661 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11662 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11663
11664 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11665 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11666 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11667 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11668 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11669 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11670 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11671 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11672 or delete all the .err files.
11673 [Steve Henson]
11674
11675 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11676 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11677 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11678 to regenerate it if needed.
11679 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11680 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11681
11682 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11683 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11684
11685 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11686 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11687 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11688 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11689 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11690 [Steve Henson]
11691
11692 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11693 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11694
11695 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11696 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11697
11698 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11699 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11700 error, but didn't set one).
11701 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11702
11703 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11704 [Ben Laurie]
11705
11706 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11707 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11708 [Steve Henson]
11709
11710 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11711 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11712
11713 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11714 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11715 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11716 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11717 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11718 OID is not part of the table.
11719 [Steve Henson]
11720
11721 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11722 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11723 [Ben Laurie]
11724
11725 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11726 [Ben Laurie]
11727
11728 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11729 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11730 was "1234").
11731 [Steve Henson]
11732
11733 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11734 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11735
11736 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11737 NULL pointers.
11738 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11739
11740 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11741 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11742
11743 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11744 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11745
11746 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11747 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11748
11749 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11750 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11751 [Ben Laurie]
11752
11753 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11754 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11755 [Steve Henson]
11756
11757 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11758 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11759
11760 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11761 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11762
11763 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11764 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11765
11766 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11767 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11768
11769 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11770 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11771 unused in the certificate verification process.
11772 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11773
11774 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11775 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11776 [Steve Henson]
11777
11778 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11779 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11780 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11781
11782 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11783 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11784 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11785 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11786 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11787
11788 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11789 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11790 [Steve Henson]
11791
11792 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11793 [Steve Henson]
11794
11795 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11796 [Paul Sutton]
11797
11798 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11799 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11800
11801 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11802 [Ben Laurie]
11803
11804 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11805 [Ben Laurie]
11806
11807 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11808 [Ben Laurie]
11809
11810 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11811 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11812 other error libraries.
11813 [Steve Henson]
11814
11815 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11816 [Steve Henson]
11817
11818 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
11819 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11820 be read in.
11821 [Steve Henson]
11822
11823 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11824 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11825 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11826 the new set of documentation files.
11827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11828
11829 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11830 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11831 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11832 number of arguments.
11833 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11834
11835 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11836 [Ben Laurie]
11837
11838 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11839 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11840 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11841
11842 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11843 [Ben Laurie]
11844
11845 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11846 nextstep
11847 ncr-scde
11848 unixware-2.0
11849 unixware-2.0-pentium
11850 sco5-cc.
11851 [Ben Laurie]
11852
11853 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11854 before they are needed.
11855 [Ben Laurie]
11856
11857 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11858 [Ben Laurie]
11859
11860
11861 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11862
11863 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11864 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11866
11867 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11868 [Paul Sutton]
11869
11870 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11871 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11873
11874 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11875 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11876 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11877
11878 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11879 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11881
11882 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11883 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11884
11885 *) Updated the README file.
11886 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11887
11888 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11889 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11890 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11891
11892 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11893 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11894 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11895
11896 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11897 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11898 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11899 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11900 o removed obsolete TODO file
11901 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11902 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11903
11904 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11905 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11906 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11907 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11908 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11909 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11911
11912 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11913 [Mark J. Cox]
11914
11915 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11916 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11917 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11918 summer 1998.
11919 [The OpenSSL Project]
11920
11921
11922 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11923
11924 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11925 [Eric A. Young]
11926
11927 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11928 [Eric A. Young]
11929
11930 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11931 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11932 [Eric A. Young]
