5 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *)
8
9 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
10
11 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
12 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
13
14 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
15
16 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
17 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
18 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
19 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
20 (CVE-2014-3571)
21 [Steve Henson]
22
23 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
24 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
25 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
26 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
27 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
28 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
29 (CVE-2015-0206)
30 [Matt Caswell]
31
32 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
33 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
34 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
35 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
36 (CVE-2014-3569)
37 [Kurt Roeckx]
38
39 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
40 ECDH ciphersuites.
41
42 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
43 reporting this issue.
44 (CVE-2014-3572)
45 [Steve Henson]
46
47 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
48 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
49 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
50 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
51 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
52 INRIA or reporting this issue.
53 (CVE-2015-0204)
54 [Steve Henson]
55
56 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
57 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
58 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
59 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
60 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
61 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
62 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
63 this issue.
64 (CVE-2015-0205)
65 [Steve Henson]
66
67 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
68 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
69
70 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
71 and can vary with the CTX.
72 [Adam Langley]
73
74 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
75
76 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
77 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
78 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
79 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
80 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
81
82 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
83
84 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
85 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
86
87 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
88
89 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
90 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
91 errors for some broken certificates.
92
93 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
94
95 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
96
97 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
98 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
99
100 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
101 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
102 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
103 (negative or with leading zeroes).
104
105 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
106 of the OpenSSL core team.
107
108 (CVE-2014-8275)
109 [Steve Henson]
110
111 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
112 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
113 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
114 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
115 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
116 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
117 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
118 the OpenSSL core team.
119 (CVE-2014-3570)
120 [Andy Polyakov]
121
122 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
123 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
124 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
125 sanity and breaks all known clients.
126 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
127
128 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
129 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
130 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
131 [Emilia Käsper]
132
133 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
134 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
135 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
136 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
137 announced in the initial ServerHello.
138
139 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
140 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
141 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
142 [Emilia Käsper]
143
144 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
145
146 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
147
148 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
149 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
150 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
151 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
152 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
153 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
154 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
155
156 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
157 (CVE-2014-3513)
158 [OpenSSL team]
159
160 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
161
162 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
163 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
164 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
165 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
166 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
167 attack.
168 (CVE-2014-3567)
169 [Steve Henson]
170
171 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
172
173 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
174 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
175 configured to send them.
176 (CVE-2014-3568)
177 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
178
179 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
180 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
181 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
182 (CVE-2014-3566)
183 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
184
185 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
186
187 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
188 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
189 DigestInfo structures.
190
191 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
192
193 [Steve Henson]
194
195 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
196
197 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
198 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
199 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
200
201 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
202 Group for discovering this issue.
203 (CVE-2014-3512)
204 [Steve Henson]
205
206 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
207 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
208 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
209 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
210 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
211
212 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
213 researching this issue.
214 (CVE-2014-3511)
215 [David Benjamin]
216
217 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
218 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
219 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
220 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
221
222 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
223 issue.
224 (CVE-2014-3510)
225 [Emilia Käsper]
226
227 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
228 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
229 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
230 (CVE-2014-3507)
231 [Adam Langley]
232
233 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
234 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
235 Denial of Service attack.
236 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
237 (CVE-2014-3506)
238 [Adam Langley]
239
240 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
241 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
242 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
243 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
244 this issue.
245 (CVE-2014-3505)
246 [Adam Langley]
247
248 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
249 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
250 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
251
252 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
253 issue.
254 (CVE-2014-3509)
255 [Gabor Tyukasz]
256
257 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
258 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
259 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
260 Denial of Service attack.
261
262 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
263 discovering and researching this issue.
264 (CVE-2014-5139)
265 [Steve Henson]
266
267 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
268 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
269 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
270 output to the attacker.
271
272 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
273 (CVE-2014-3508)
274 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
275
276 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
277 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
278 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
279 [Bodo Moeller]
280
281 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
282
283 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
284 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
285 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
286
287 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
288 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
289 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
290
291 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
292 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
293 in a DoS attack.
294
295 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
296 (CVE-2014-0221)
297 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
298
299 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
300 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
301 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
302 code on a vulnerable client or server.
303
304 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
305 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
306
307 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
308 are subject to a denial of service attack.
309
310 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
311 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
312 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
313
314 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
315 compilation flags.
316 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
317
318 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
319 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
320 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
321
322 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
323 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
324
325 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
326
327 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
328 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
329 server.
330
331 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
332 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
333 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
334 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
335
336 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
337 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
338 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
339 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
340
341 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
342 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
343 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
344
345 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
346
347 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
348 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
349 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
350 is at least 512 bytes long.
351
352 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
353
354 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
355
356 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
357 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
358 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
359 (CVE-2013-4353)
360
361 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
362 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
363 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
364 [Steve Henson]
365
366 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
367 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
368 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
369 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
370 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
371 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
372 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
373
374 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
375
376 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
377 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
378 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
379
380 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
381
382 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
383
384 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
385 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
386 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
387
388 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
389 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
390 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
391 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
392 (CVE-2013-0169)
393 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
394
395 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
396 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
397 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
398 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
399 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
400 (CVE-2012-2686)
401 [Adam Langley]
402
403 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
404 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
405 [Steve Henson]
406
407 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
408 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
409
410 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
411 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
412 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
413 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
414 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
415
416 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
417 [Steve Henson]
418
419 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
420 if renegotiating.
421 [Steve Henson]
422
423 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
424
425 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
426 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
427
428 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
429 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
430 (CVE-2012-2333)
431 [Steve Henson]
432
433 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
434 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
435 [Steve Henson]
436
437 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
438 approved.
439 [Steve Henson]
440
441 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
442
443 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
444 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
445 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
446 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
447 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
448 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
449 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
450 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
451 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
452 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
453 [Steve Henson]
454
455 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
456 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
457 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
458 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
459 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
460 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
461 client side.
462 [Andy Polyakov]
463
464 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
465
466 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
467 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
468 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
469
470 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
471 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
472 (CVE-2012-2110)
473 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
474
475 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
476 [Adam Langley]
477
478 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
479 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
480
481 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
482 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
483 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
484 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
485 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
486 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
487 Most broken servers should now work.
488 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
489 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
490 [Steve Henson]
491
492 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
493 [Andy Polyakov]
494
495 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
496
497 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
498 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
499 [Steve Henson]
500
501 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
502 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
503 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
504 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
505 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
506 [Steve Henson]
507
508 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
509 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
510 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
511 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
512 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
513 [Steve Henson]
514
515 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
516 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
517
518 *) Add support for SCTP.
519 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
520
521 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
522 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
523
524 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
525
526 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
527 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
528 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
529 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
530 - s390x: z196 support;
531 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
532
533 [Andy Polyakov]
534
535 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
536 (removal of unnecessary code)
537 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
538
539 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
540 [Eric Rescorla]
541
542 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
543 [Eric Rescorla]
544
545 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
546 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
547 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
548 by Google.
549 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
550
551 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
552 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
553 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
554 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
555 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
556
557 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
558 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
559 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
560
561 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
562 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
563 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
564
565 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
566 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
567 implementations).
568 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
569
570 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
571 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
572 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
573 [Steve Henson]
574
575 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
576 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
577 particular PSS.
578 [Steve Henson]
579
580 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
581 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
582 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
583 [Steve Henson]
584
585 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
586 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
587 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
588 the appropriate parameters.
589 [Steve Henson]
590
591 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
592 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
593 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
594 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
595 against a number of sample certificates.
596 [Steve Henson]
597
598 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
599 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
600
601 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
602 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
603
604 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
605 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
606 parameters r, s.
607 [Steve Henson]
608
609 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
610 RFC3211.
611 [Steve Henson]
612
613 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
614 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
615 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
616 password based CMS).
617 [Steve Henson]
618
619 *) Session-handling fixes:
620 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
621 but also support Session Tickets.
622 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
623 presented a ticket with an expired session.
624 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
625 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
626 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
627 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
628
629 *) Fix PSK session representation.
630 [Bodo Moeller]
631
632 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
633
634 This work was sponsored by Intel.
635 [Andy Polyakov]
636
637 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
638 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
639 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
640 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
641 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
642 [Steve Henson]
643
644 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
645 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
646 [Steve Henson]
647
648 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
649 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
650 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
651 [Steve Henson]
652
653 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
654 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
655 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
656 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
657 [Steve Henson]
658
659 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
660 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
661 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
662 [Steve Henson]
663
664 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
665 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
666
667 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
668 [Steve Henson]
669
670 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
671 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
672 [Steve Henson]
673
674 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
675 [Steve Henson]
676
677 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
678 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
679 [Steve Henson]
680
681 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
682 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
683 [Steve Henson]
684
685 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
686 [Steve Henson]
687
688 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
689 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
690 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
691 [Steve Henson]
692
693 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
694 [Steve Henson]
695
696 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
697 [Steve Henson]
698
699 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
700 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
701 [Steve Henson]
702
703 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
704 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
705 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
706 [Steve Henson]
707
708 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
709 [Steve Henson]
710
711 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
712 and enable MD5.
713 [Steve Henson]
714
715 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
716 FIPS modules versions.
717 [Steve Henson]
718
719 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
720 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
721 until after the certificate request message is received.
722 [Steve Henson]
723
724 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
725 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
726 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
727 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
728 [Steve Henson]
729
730 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
731 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
732 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
733 support yet and no support for client certificates.
734 [Steve Henson]
735
736 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
737 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
738 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
739 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
740 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
741 and version checking.
742 [Steve Henson]
743
744 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
745 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
746 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
747 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
748 [Steve Henson]
749
750 *) Add SRP support.
751 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
752
753 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
754 [Steve Henson]
755
756 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
757 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
758 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
759
760 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
761 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
762 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
763 [Steve Henson]
764
765 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
766 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
767
768 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
769 a few changes are required:
770
771 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
772 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
773 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
774 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
775 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
776 [Steve Henson]
777
778 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
779
780 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
781
782 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
783 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
784 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
785
786 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
787 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
788 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
789 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
790 (CVE-2013-0169)
791 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
792
793 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
794 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
795 [Steve Henson]
796
797 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
798 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
799 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
800 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
801 (This is a backport)
802 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
803
804 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
808
809 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
810 OpenSSL 1.0.1.]
811
812 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
813 to fix DoS attack.
814
815 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
816 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
817 (CVE-2012-2333)
818 [Steve Henson]
819
820 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
821 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
822 [Steve Henson]
823
824 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
825
826 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
827 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
828 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
829
830 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
831 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
832 (CVE-2012-2110)
833 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
834
835 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
836
837 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
838 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
839 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
840 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
841 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
842 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
843 an MMA defence is not necessary.
844 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
845 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
846 [Steve Henson]
847
848 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
849 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
850 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
851 [Steve Henson]
852
853 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
854
855 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
856 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
857 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
858 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
859 [Antonio Martin]
860
861 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
862
863 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
864 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
865 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
866 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
867 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
868 paper describing this attack can be found at:
869 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
870 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
871 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
872 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
873 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
874 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
875 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
876
877 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
878 (CVE-2011-4576)
879 [Adam Langley (Google)]
880
881 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
882 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
883 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
884 [Adam Langley (Google)]
885
886 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
887 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
888
889 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
890 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
891 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
892 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
893
894 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
895 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
896
897 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
898 [Adam Langley (Google)]
899
900 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
901 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
902
903 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
904 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
905 [Adam Langley (Google)]
906
907 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
908 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
909 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
910
911 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
912 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
913 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
914 the last update always remained unused).
915 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
916
917 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
918 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
919
920 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
921
922 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
923 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
924 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
925
926 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
927 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
928 [Adam Langley (Google)]
929
930 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
931 [Bodo Moeller]
932
933 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
934 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
935 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
936 [Steve Henson]
937
938 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
939 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
940
941 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
942
943 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
944
945 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
946
947 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
948 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
949
950 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
951 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
952 ambiguous.
953 [Steve Henson]
954
955 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
956
957 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
958 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
959 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
960 [Steve Henson]
961
962 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
963 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
964 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
965 [Ben Laurie]
966
967 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
968
969 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
970 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
971 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
972 [Steve Henson]
973
974 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
975 a DLL.
976 [Steve Henson]
977
978 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
979
980 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
981 (CVE-2010-1633)
982 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
983
984 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
985
986 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
987 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
988 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
989 [Steve Henson]
990
991 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
992 [Steve Henson]
993
994 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
995 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
996 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
997
998 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
999 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1000 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1004 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1005 [Steve Henson]
1006
1007 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1008 some responders need this.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1012 correctly.
1013 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1014
1015 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1016 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1017 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1018 [Steve Henson]
1019
1020 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1024 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1025 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1026 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1027 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1028 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1029 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1030 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1031 [Steve Henson]
1032
1033 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1034 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1035 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1036 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1037
1038 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1039 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1040
1041 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1042 be used on C++.
1043 [Steve Henson]
1044
1045 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1046 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1047 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1048 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1049 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1050 attempting to work them out.
1051 [Steve Henson]
1052
1053 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1054 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1055 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1056 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1057 [Steve Henson]
1058
1059 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1060 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1061 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1062 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1063 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1064 [Steve Henson]
1065
1066 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1067 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1068 you can do:
1069
1070 openssl sha256 foo
1071
1072 as well as:
1073
1074 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1075
1076 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1077
1078 [Steve Henson]
1079
1080 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1081 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1082
1083 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1084 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1085
1086 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1087 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1088 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1089 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1090 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1091 [Steve Henson]
1092
1093 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1094 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1095 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1096 [Steve Henson]
1097
1098 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1099 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1100 [Steve Henson]
1101
1102 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1103 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1104
1105 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1106 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1107 [Steve Henson]
1108
1109 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1110 [Ben Laurie]
1111
1112 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1113 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1114 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1115 CONF_VALUE.
1116 [Ben Laurie]
1117
1118 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1119 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1120 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1121 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1122 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1123 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1124 [Steve Henson]
1125
1126 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1127 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1128
1129 This work was sponsored by Google.
1130 [Steve Henson]
1131
1132 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1133 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1134 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1135 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1136 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1137 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1138 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1139 default.
1140
1141 This work was sponsored by Google.
1142 [Steve Henson]
1143
1144 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1145
1146 This work was sponsored by Google.
1147 [Steve Henson]
1148
1149 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1150 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1151 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1152 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1153
1154 This work was sponsored by Google.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1158 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1159 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1160 CRL functionality in future.
1161
1162 This work was sponsored by Google.
1163 [Steve Henson]
1164
1165 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1166
1167 This work was sponsored by Google.
1168 [Steve Henson]
1169
1170 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1171 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1172
1173 This work was sponsored by Google.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1177 and URI types are currently supported.
1178
1179 This work was sponsored by Google.
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1183 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1184 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1185 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1186 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1187 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1188 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1189 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1190
1191 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1192 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1193 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1194
1195 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1196 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1197 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1198 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1199
1200 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1201 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1202 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1203 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1204 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1205 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1206 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1207 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1208 of &errno.)
1209 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1210
1211 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1212 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1213 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1214
1215 This work was sponsored by Google.
1216 [Steve Henson]
1217
1218 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1219 [Ben Laurie]
1220
1221 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1222 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1223 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1224 [Ben Laurie]
1225
1226 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1227 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1228 [Nick Mathewson]
1229
1230 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1231 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1232 [Ben Laurie]
1233
1234 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1235 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1236 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1237 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1238 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1239 content types and variants.
1240 [Steve Henson]
1241
1242 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1243 [Steve Henson]
1244
1245 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1246 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1247 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1248 files from the associated perl scripts.
1249 [Steve Henson]
1250
1251 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1252 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1253 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1254
1255 *) s390x assembler pack.
1256 [Andy Polyakov]
1257
1258 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1259 "family."
1260 [Andy Polyakov]
1261
1262 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1263 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1264 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1265 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1266 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1267 to use. For example, specify an option
1268
1269 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1270
1271 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1272 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1273 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1274 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1275 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1276 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1277
1278 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1279 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1280 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1281 return non-zero for success.
1282
1283 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1284 by using
1285
1286 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1287 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1288
1289 where
1290
1291 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1292 void *arg;
1293
1294 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1295 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1296 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1297 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1298 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1299 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1300 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1301 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1302 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1303
1304 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1305 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1306 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1307 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1308 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1309 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1310
1311 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1312 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1313 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1314 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1315 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1316 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1317
1318 [Bodo Moeller]
1319
1320 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1321 MAC.
1322
1323 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1324
1325 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1326 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1327 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1328 supported.
1329
1330 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1331 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1332 SSL_SESSION.
1333
1334 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1335 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1336 with no application modification.
1337
1338 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1339 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1340
1341 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1342 or server extensions to be examined.
1343
1344 This work was sponsored by Google.
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1348 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1349 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1350
1351 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1352 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1353 ciphersuite support.
1354 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1355
1356 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1357 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1358 to output in BER and PEM format.
1359 [Steve Henson]
1360
1361 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1362 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1363 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1364 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1365 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1366 [Steve Henson]
1367
1368 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1369 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1370 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1371 utility.
1372 [Steve Henson]
1373
1374 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1375 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1376 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1377 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1378 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1379 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1380 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1381 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1382 enabled again.
1383
1384 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1385 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1386 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1387 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1388
1389 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1390 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1391 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1392 the default order.
1393 [Bodo Moeller]
1394
1395 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1396 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1397 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1398 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1399 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1400 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1401 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1402 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1403 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1404
1405 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1406 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1407 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1408 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1409 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1410 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1411 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1412 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1413 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1414 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1415 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1416 kinds of kludges.
1417
1418 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1419 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1420 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1421
1422 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1423 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1424 "CAMELLIA256".
1425 [Bodo Moeller]
1426
1427 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1428 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1429 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1430 [Nils Larsch]
1431
1432 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1433 it yet and it is largely untested.
1434 [Steve Henson]
1435
1436 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1437 [Nils Larsch]
1438
1439 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1440 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1441 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1442 [Steve Henson]
1443
1444 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1445 [Andy Polyakov]
1446
1447 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1448 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1449 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1450 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1451 [Steve Henson]
1452
1453 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1454 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1455 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1456 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1457 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1458 [Steve Henson]
1459
1460 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1461 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1462 [Cryptocom]
1463
1464 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1465 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1466 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1467 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1468 [Steve Henson]
1469
1470 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1471 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1472 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1473 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1474 [Steve Henson]
1475
1476 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1477 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1478 [Steve Henson]
1479
1480 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1481 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1482 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1483 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1484 [Steve Henson]
1485
1486 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1487 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1488 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1489 [Steve Henson]
1490
1491 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1492 utility.
1493 [Steve Henson]
1494
1495 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1496 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1497 [Steve Henson]
1498
1499 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1500 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1501 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1502 if necessary.
1503 [Steve Henson]
1504
1505 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1506 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1507 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1511 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1512 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1513 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1514 [Steve Henson]
1515
1516 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1517 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1518 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1519 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1520 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1521 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1522 [Douglas Stebila]
1523
1524 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1525 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1526 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1527 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1528 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1529
1530 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1531 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1532 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1533 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1534 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1535 protocol).
1536
1537 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1538 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1539 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1540 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1541
1542 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1543 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1544 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1545 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1546 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1547
1548 aECDH - ECDH cert
1549 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
1550 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
1551
1552 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1553 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1554
1555 [Bodo Moeller]
1556
1557 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1558 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1559 [Steve Henson]
1560
1561 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1562 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1563 [Steve Henson]
1564
1565 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1566 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1567 functional reference processing.
1568 [Steve Henson]
1569
1570 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1571 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1572 process.
1573 [Steve Henson]
1574
1575 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1576 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1577 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1581 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1582 application to support multiple signers.
1583 [Steve Henson]
1584
1585 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1586 digest MAC.
1587 [Steve Henson]
1588
1589 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1590 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1591 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1592 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1593 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1594 [Steve Henson]
1595
1596 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1597 new API.
1598 [Steve Henson]
1599
1600 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1601 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1602 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1603 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1604 a no op.
1605 [Steve Henson]
1606
1607 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1608 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1609 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1610 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1611 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1612 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1613 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1614 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1615 [Steve Henson]
1616
1617 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1618 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1619 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1620 between digests and public key types.
1621 [Steve Henson]
1622
1623 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1624 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1625 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1626 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1627 [Steve Henson]
1628
1629 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1630 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1631 key ASN1 method.
1632 [Steve Henson]
1633
1634 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1635 [Steve Henson]
1636
1637 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1638 pkeyutl.
1639 [Steve Henson]
1640
1641 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1642 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1643 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1644 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1645 pkey, genpkey.
1646 [Steve Henson]
1647
1648 *) BeOS support.
1649 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1650
1651 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1652 manual pages.
1653 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1654
1655 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1656 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1657 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1658 functionality for RSA.
1659 [Steve Henson]
1660
1661 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1662 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1663 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1664 [Steve Henson]
1665
1666 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1667 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1668 [Steve Henson]
1669
1670 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1671 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1672 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1673 [Steve Henson]
1674
1675 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1676 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1677 [Douglas Stebila]
1678
1679 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1680 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1681 [Steve Henson]
1682
1683 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1684 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1685 type.
1686 [Steve Henson]
1687
1688 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1689 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1690 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1691 structure.
1692 [Steve Henson]
1693
1694 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1695 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1696 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1697 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1698 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1699 of public and private key structures.
1700 [Steve Henson]
1701
1702 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1703 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1704 [Douglas Stebila]
1705
1706 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1707 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1708 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1709
1710 New ciphersuites:
1711 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1712 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
1713
1714 New functions:
1715 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1716 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1717 SSL_get_psk_identity
1718 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1719
1720 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1721
1722 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1723 and response verification functionality.
1724 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1725
1726 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1727 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1728 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1729 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1730 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1731 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1732 server_name extension.
1733
1734 New functions (subject to change):
1735
1736 SSL_get_servername()
1737 SSL_get_servername_type()
1738 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
1739
1740 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1741
1742 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1743 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1744 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1745 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1746 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1747
1748 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1749
1750 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1751 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1752 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1753 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1754 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1755 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1756 option.
1757
1758 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1759
1760 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1761 [Andy Polyakov]
1762
1763 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1764 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1765 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1766 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1767 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1768 [Andy Polyakov]
1769
1770 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1771 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1772 macro.
1773 [Bodo Moeller]
1774
1775 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1776 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1777 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1778 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1779 [Andy Polyakov]
1780
1781 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1782 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1783 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1784 using the maximum available value.
1785 [Steve Henson]
1786
1787 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1788 in addition to the text details.
1789 [Bodo Moeller]
1790
1791 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1792 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1793 handle several customised structures at all.
1794 [Steve Henson]
1795
1796 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1797 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1798 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1799 [Steve Henson]
1800
1801 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1802 [Steve Henson]
1803
1804 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1805 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1806 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1807 [Steve Henson]
1808
1809 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1810 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1811 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1812 [Nils Larsch]
1813
1814 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1815 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1816 all fields.
1817 [Steve Henson]
1818
1819 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1820 [Steve Henson]
1821
1822 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1823 [NTT]
1824
1825 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1826
1827 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1828
1829 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1830 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1831 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1832
1833 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1834 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1835 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1836 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1837 (CVE-2013-0169)
1838 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1839
1840 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1841 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1842 [Steve Henson]
1843
1844 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1845 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1846 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1847 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1848 (This is a backport)
1849 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1850
1851 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1852 [Steve Henson]
1853
1854 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1855
1856 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1857 to fix DoS attack.
1858
1859 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1860 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1861 (CVE-2012-2333)
1862 [Steve Henson]
1863
1864 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1865 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1866 [Steve Henson]
1867
1868 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1869
1870 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1871 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1872 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1873 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1874 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1875
1876 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1877
1878 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1879 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1880 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1881
1882 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1883 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1884 (CVE-2012-2110)
1885 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1886
1887 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1888
1889 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1890 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1891 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1892 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1893 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1894 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1895 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1896 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1897 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1898 [Steve Henson]
1899
1900 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1901 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1902 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1903 [Steve Henson]
1904
1905 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1906
1907 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1908 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1909 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1910 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1911 [Antonio Martin]
1912
1913 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1914
1915 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1916 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1917 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1918 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1919 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1920 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1921 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1922 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1923 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1924 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1925 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1926 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1927 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1928
1929 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1930 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1931
1932 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1933 (CVE-2011-4576)
1934 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1935
1936 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1937 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1938 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1939 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1940
1941 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1942 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1943 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1944 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1945
1946 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1947 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1948
1949 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1950 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1951
1952 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1953 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1954 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1955
1956 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1957 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1958 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1959
1960 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1961 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1962 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1963 the last update always remained unused).
1964 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1965
1966 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1967 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1968 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1969
1970 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1971 [Bodo Moeller]
1972
1973 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1974 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1975
1976 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1977
1978 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1979
1980 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1981
1982 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1983 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1984
1985 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1986 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1987 ambiguous.
1988 [Steve Henson]
1989
1990 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1991
1992 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1993 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1994 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1995 [Steve Henson]
1996
1997 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1998 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1999 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2000 [Ben Laurie]
2001
2002 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2003
2004 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2005 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2006 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2007 [Steve Henson]
2008
2009 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2010 [Steve Henson]
2011
2012 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2013 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2014 some broken encodings work correctly.
2015 [Steve Henson]
2016
2017 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2018 is also one of the inputs.
2019 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2020
2021 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2022 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2023 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
2024 etc are non-op.
2025 [Steve Henson]
2026
2027 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
2028
2029 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
2030 OpenSSL 1.0.0.]
2031
2032 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
2033 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2034 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2035
2036 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2037 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2038 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2039 [Steve Henson]
2040
2041 *) VMS fixes:
2042 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
2043 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
2044 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2045 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2046
2047 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2048
2049 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2050 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2051 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2052 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2053 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2054 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2055 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2056 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2057
2058 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2059 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2060 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2061
2062 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2063
2064 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2065 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2066
2067 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2068 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2069 [Bodo Moeller]
2070
2071 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2072 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2073 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2077 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2078 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2079 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2080 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2081 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2082 [Steve Henson]
2083
2084 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2085 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2086 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2087 [Steve Henson]
2088
2089 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2090 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2091 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2092 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2093 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2094 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2095 CVE-2009-4355.
2096 [Steve Henson]
2097
2098 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2099 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2100 [Bodo Moeller]
2101
2102 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2103 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2104 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2105 [Steve Henson]
2106
2107 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2111 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2112 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2113 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2114 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2115 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2116 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2117 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2118 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2119 [Steve Henson]
2120
2121 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2122 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2123 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2124 [Steve Henson]
2125
2126 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2127 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2131 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2132 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2133 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2134 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2135 know what you are doing.
2136 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2139 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2140 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2141 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2142 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2143 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2144 the handshake.
2145 [Steve Henson]
2146
2147 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2148 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2149 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2150 correctly.
2151 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2152
2153 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2154 warnings in other configurations.
2155 [Steve Henson]
2156
2157 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2158 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2159 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2160 systems need.
2161 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2162
2163 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2164 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2165 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2166
2167 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2168 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2169 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2170 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2174 and restored.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2178 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2179 clash.
2180 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2181
2182 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2183 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2184 other than a simple chain.
2185 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2188 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2189 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2190 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2191 [Steve Henson]
2192
2193 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2194 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2195 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2196 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2197 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2198 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2199 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2200 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2201 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2202
2203 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2204 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2205 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2206 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2207 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2208 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2209 (CVE-2009-1377)
2210 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2211
2212 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2213 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2214 [Daniel Mentz]
2215
2216 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2217 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2218
2219 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
2220 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2221
2222 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2223
2224 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2225 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2226 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2227 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2228 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2229 you're doing.
2230 [Ben Laurie]
2231
2232 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2233
2234 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2235 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2236 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2237 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2238
2239 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2240 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2241 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2242 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2243
2244 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2245 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2246 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2247 [Steve Henson]
2248
2249 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2250 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2251 level.
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2255 to handle some structures.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2259 for a '\n'
2260 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2261
2262 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2263 [Matthieu Herrb]
2264
2265 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2269 [Steve Henson]
2270
2271 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2272 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2273 chosen compiler.
2274 [Ben Laurie]
2275
2276 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2277
2278 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2279 (CVE-2008-5077).
2280 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2281
2282 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2283 [Ben Laurie]
2284
2285 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2286 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2287 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2288 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2289
2290 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2291 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2292
2293 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2294 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2295 [Bodo Moeller]
2296
2297 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2298 s_client and s_server.
2299 [Ben Laurie]
2300
2301 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2302 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2303
2304 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2305 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2306
2307 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2308 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2309 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2310 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2311 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2312 [Bodo Moeller]
2313
2314 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2315
2316 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2317 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2318 [PR #1679]
2319
2320 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2321 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2322 [Nagendra Modadugu]
2323
2324 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2325 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2326 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2327 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2328
2329 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2330 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2331
2332 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2333
2334 *) Various precautionary measures:
2335
2336 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2337
2338 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2339 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2340 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2341
2342 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2343 outside the expected range.
2344
2345 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2346 builds.
2347
2348 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2349
2350 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2351 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2352 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2353
2354 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2358 [Huang Ying]
2359
2360 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2361
2362 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2366 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2367 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2368
2369 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2370 [Steve Henson]
2371
2372 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2373 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2374 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2375 files.
2376 [Steve Henson]
2377
2378 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2379
2380 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2381 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2382 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2383 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2384
2385 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2386 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2387 [Joe Orton]
2388
2389 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2390
2391 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2392 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2393 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2394
2395 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2396
2397 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2398 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2399 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2400 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2401 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2402
2403 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2404 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2405 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2406 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2407 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2408 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2409 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2410
2411 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2412
2413 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2414 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2415 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2416 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2417 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2418
2419 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2420 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2421
2422 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2423 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2424 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2425 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2426 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2427
2428 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2429
2430 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2431 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2432 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2433 sets may exist with different names.
2434 [Steve Henson]
2435
2436 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2437 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2438 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2439 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2440 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2441 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2442 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2443 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2444 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2445 implementation.
2446 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2447
2448 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2449 implemention in the following ways:
2450
2451 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2452 hard coded.
2453
2454 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2455 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2456 ignored for embedded content.
2457
2458 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2459 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2460 [Steve Henson]
2461
2462 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2463 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2464 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2465 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2466
2467 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2468 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2469 [Steve Henson]
2470
2471 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2472 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2473 [Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2476 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2477 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2478 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2479 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2480 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2481 data.
2482 [Steve Henson]
2483
2484 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2485 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2486 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2487
2488 *) Netware support:
2489
2490 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2491 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2492 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2493 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2494 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2495 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2496 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2497 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2498 platform
2499 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2500 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2501 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2502 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2503 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2504 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2505 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2506
2507 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2508 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2509 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2510 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2511 to s_client and s_server.
2512 [Steve Henson]
2513
2514 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2515
2516 *) Fix various bugs:
2517 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2518 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2519 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2520 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2521 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2522
2523 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2524
2525 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2526 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2527 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2528 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2529 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2530 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2531 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2532 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2533 [Andy Polyakov]
2534
2535 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2536 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2537 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2538 Steve Henson]
2539
2540 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2541 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2542 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2543 supported.
2544
2545 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2546 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2547 SSL_SESSION.
2548
2549 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2550 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2551 with no application modification.
2552
2553 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2554 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2555
2556 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2557 or server extensions to be examined.
2558
2559 This work was sponsored by Google.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561
2562 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2563 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2564 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2565 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2566 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2567 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2568 server_name extension.
2569
2570 New functions (subject to change):
2571
2572 SSL_get_servername()
2573 SSL_get_servername_type()
2574 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2575
2576 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2577
2578 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2579 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2580 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2581 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2582 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2583
2584 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2585
2586 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2587 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2588 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2589 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2590 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2591 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2592 option.
2593
2594 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2595
2596 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598
2599 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2600 [Andy Polyakov]
2601
2602 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2603 (which previously caused an internal error).
2604 [Bodo Moeller]
2605
2606 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2607 [Ben Laurie]
2608
2609 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2610 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2611
2612 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2613 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2614 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2615
2616 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2617 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2618 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2619 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2620
2621 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2622 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2623 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2624 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2625
2626 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2627 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2628 information. For detailed background information, see
2629 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2630 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2631 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2632 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2633 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2634 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2635 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2636 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2637 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2638 remove a conditional branch.
2639
2640 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2641 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2642 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2643 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2644 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2645 remains as a deprecated alias.
2646
2647 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2648 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2649 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2650 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2651
2652 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2653 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2654 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2655 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2656 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2657 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2658 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2659 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2660
2661 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2662
2663 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2664 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2665 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2666 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2667 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2668 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2669 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2670 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2671 in a different context.
2672 [Bodo Moeller]
2673
2674 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2675 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2676 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2677 [Bodo Moeller]
2678
2679 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2680 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2681 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2682
2683 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2684
2685 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2686 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2687 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2688 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2689 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2690 [Victor Duchovni]
2691
2692 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2693 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2694 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2695 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2696 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2697 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2698 [Bodo Moeller]
2699
2700 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2701 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2702 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2703 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2704 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2705 [Bodo Moeller]
2706
2707 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2708 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2709
2710 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2711 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2712 Improve header file function name parsing.
2713 [Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2716 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2717 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
2718
2719 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2720
2721 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2722 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2723 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2724
2725 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2726 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2727
2728 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2729 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2730
2731 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2732 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2733 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2734
2735 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2736 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2737 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2738 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2739 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2740 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2741 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2742 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2743 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2744
2745 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2746 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2747 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2748 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2749 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2750
2751 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2752 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2753 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2754 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2755 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2756 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2757 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2758 multiple values to extend the available space.
2759
2760 [Bodo Moeller]
2761
2762 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2763
2764 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2765 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2766
2767 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2768 [Ben Laurie]
2769
2770 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2771 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2772 undesirable limitations.
2773 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2774
2775 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2776 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2777 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2778 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2779 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2780 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2781 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2782 [Bodo Moeller]
2783
2784 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2785
2786 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2787 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2788 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2789
2790 The latter two were purportedly from
2791 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2792 appear there.
2793
2794 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2795 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2796 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2797 [Bodo Moeller]
2798
2799 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2800 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2801 [Bodo Moeller]
2802
2803 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2804 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2805 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2806 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2807
2808 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2809 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2810 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2811 [NTT]
2812
2813 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2814 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2815 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2816 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2817 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2818 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2819 [Steve Henson]
2820
2821 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2822
2823 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2824 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2825 [Steve Henson]
2826
2827 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2828 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2829
2830 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2831 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2832 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2833 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2834 [Douglas Stebila]
2835
2836 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2837 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2838 [Steve Henson]
2839
2840 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2841 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2842 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2843 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2844 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2845 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2846 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2847 can't be loaded.
2848 [Steve Henson]
2849
2850 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2851 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2852 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2853 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2857 under VC++ build system.
2858 [Steve Henson]
2859
2860 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2861 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2862 [Richard Levitte]
2863
2864 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2865
2866 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2867 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2868 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2869 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2870 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2871
2872 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2873 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2874 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2875
2876 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2880 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2881 [Nils Larsch]
2882
2883 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2884 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2885
2886 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2887 [Nick Mathewson]
2888
2889 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2890 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2891
2892 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2893 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2894 [Steve Henson]
2895
2896 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2897 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2898 smime utility.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2902
2903 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2904 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2905
2906 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2907 [Richard Levitte]
2908
2909 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2910 key into the same file any more.
2911 [Richard Levitte]
2912
2913 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2914 [Andy Polyakov]
2915
2916 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2917 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2918
2919 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2920 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2921 [Richard Levitte]
2922
2923 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2924 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2925 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2926 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2927 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2928 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2929
2930 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2931 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2932 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2933 [Steve Henson]
2934
2935 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2936 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2937 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2938 - add new function for parameter creation
2939 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2940 BN_BLINDING parameters
2941 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2942 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2943 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2944 threads.
2945 [Nils Larsch]
2946
2947 *) Add support for DTLS.
2948 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2949
2950 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2951 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2952 [Walter Goulet]
2953
2954 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2955 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2956 [Nils Larsch]
2957
2958 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2959 the apps/openssl applications.
2960 [Nils Larsch]
2961
2962 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2963 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2964 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2965 [Ben Laurie]
2966
2967 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2968 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2969
2970 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2971 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2972
2973 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2974 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2975 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2976 avoid this algorithm.)
2977
2978 [Bodo Moeller]
2979
2980 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2981 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2982 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2983 [Richard Levitte]
2984
2985 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2986 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2987 [Andy Polyakov]
2988
2989 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2990 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2991 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2992 pod file:
2993
2994 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2995
2996 The blank line is mandatory.
2997
2998 [Steve Henson]
2999
3000 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3001 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3002 sources.
3003 [Steve Henson]
3004
3005 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3006 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3007
3008 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3009 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3010 to support policy checking and print out.
3011 [Steve Henson]
3012
3013 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3014 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3015 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3016 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3017
3018 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3019 [Geoff Thorpe]
3020
3021 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3022 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3023
3024 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3025 implementation contributed by IBM.
3026 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3027
3028 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3029 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3030 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3031 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3032
3033 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3034 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3035
3036 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3037 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3038 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3039 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3040 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3041 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3045 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3046 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3047 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3048 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3049 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3050 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3051 [Geoff Thorpe]
3052
3053 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3054 [Steve Henson]
3055
3056 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3057 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3058 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3059 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3060 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3061 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3062 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3063 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3064 [Steve Henson]
3065
3066 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3067 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3068 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3069 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3070 [Steve Henson]
3071
3072 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3073 syntax:
3074
3075 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3076 [Steve Henson]
3077
3078 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3079 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3080 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3081 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3082 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3083 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3084 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3085 [Geoff Thorpe]
3086
3087 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3088 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3089 [Geoff Thorpe]
3090
3091 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3092 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3093 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3094 [Steve Henson]
3095
3096 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3097 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3098 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3099 below).
3100 [Geoff Thorpe]
3101
3102 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3103 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3104 [Richard Levitte]
3105
3106 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3107 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3108 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3109 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3110 [Geoff Thorpe]
3111
3112 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3113 initialised value as BN_new().
3114 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3115
3116 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3117 [Steve Henson]
3118
3119 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3120 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3121 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3122 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3123 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3124 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3125 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3126 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3127 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3128 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3129 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3130 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3131 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3132 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3133 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3134
3135 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3136 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3137 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3138 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3139 [Geoff Thorpe]
3140
3141 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3142 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3143 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3144 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3145 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3146 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3147 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3148 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3149 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3150 [Geoff Thorpe]
3151
3152 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3153 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3154 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3155 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3156 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3157 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3158 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3159 [Geoff Thorpe]
3160
3161 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3162 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3163 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3164 these have been updated also.
3165 [Geoff Thorpe]
3166
3167 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3168 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3169 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3170 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3171 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3172 functions.
3173 [Steve Henson]
3174
3175 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3176 structure of type "other".
3177 [Steve Henson]
3178
3179 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3180 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3181 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3182 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3183 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3184 situation in the script.
3185 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3186
3187 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3188 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3189 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3190 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3191 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3192 used as premaster secret.
3193 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3194
3195 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3196 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3197 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3198
3199 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3200 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3201
3202 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3203 control of the error stack.
3204 [Richard Levitte]
3205
3206 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3207 [Richard Levitte]
3208
3209 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3210 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3211 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3212 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3213 [Richard Levitte]
3214
3215 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3216 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3217 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3218 [Richard Levitte]
3219
3220 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3221 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3222 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3223 a memory area.
3224 [Richard Levitte]
3225
3226 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3227 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3228 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3229 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3230 [Richard Levitte]
3231
3232 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3233 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3234 the following flags are defined:
3235
3236 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3237 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3238 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3239 number.
3240
3241 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3242 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3243 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3244 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3245 returns zero.
3246 [Richard Levitte]
3247
3248 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3249 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3250 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3251 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3252 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3253 [Richard Levitte]
3254
3255 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3256 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3257 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3258 [Richard Levitte]
3259
3260 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3261 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3262 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3263 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3264 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3265 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3266 [Richard Levitte]
3267
3268 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3269 req and dirName.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3276 [Steve Henson]
3277
3278 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3279 [Steve Henson]
3280
3281 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3282 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3283 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3284 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3285 default implementation more easily.
3286 [Geoff Thorpe]
3287
3288 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3289 in config files.
3290 [Steve Henson]
3291
3292 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3293 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3294 [Richard Levitte]
3295
3296 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3297 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3298 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3299 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3300
3301 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3302 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3303 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3304 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3308 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3309 to do it.
3310 [Richard Levitte]
3311
3312 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3313 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3314 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3315 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3316 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3317 scalar * generator).
3318 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3319
3320 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3321 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3322 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3323 correctly.
3324 [Steve Henson]
3325
3326 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3327 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3328 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3329 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3330 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3331 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3332 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3333 linker additions, eg;
3334 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3335 [Geoff Thorpe]
3336
3337 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3338 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3339 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3340 [Geoff Thorpe]
3341
3342 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3343 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3344 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3345 via PR#459)
3346 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3347
3348 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3349 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3350 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3351 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3352 [Geoff Thorpe]
3353
3354 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3355 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3356 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3357 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3358 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3359 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3360 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3361 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3362 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3363 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3364
3365 Example for using the new callback interface:
3366
3367 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3368 void *my_arg = ...;
3369 BN_GENCB my_cb;
3370
3371 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3372
3373 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3374 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3375 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3376 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3377 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3378 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3379 */
3380
3381 [Geoff Thorpe]
3382
3383 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3384 available to TLS with the number defined in
3385 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3386 [Richard Levitte]
3387
3388 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3389 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3390
3391 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3392 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3393 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3394 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3395
3396 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3397 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3398
3399 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3400 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3401 well.
3402 [Richard Levitte]
3403
3404 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3405 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3406 [Richard Levitte]
3407
3408 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3409 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3410 and a macro that behave like
3411 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3412
3413 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3414 [Nils Larsch]
3415
3416 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3417 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3418 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3419 if applicable.
3420 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3421
3422 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3423 [Bodo Moeller]
3424
3425 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3426 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3427 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3428 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3429 directory engines/.
3430 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3431 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3432 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3433 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3434 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3435 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3436 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3437 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3438
3439 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3440 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3441 [Richard Levitte]
3442
3443 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3444 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3445
3446 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3447 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3448 files while avoiding the low level API.
3449
3450 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3451 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3452 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3453 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3454
3455 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3456 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3457 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3458 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3459 instead of the low level API.
3460 [Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3463 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3464 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3465 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3466 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3467 PKCS#7 code.
3468
3469 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3470 down to the template encoder.
3471 [Steve Henson]
3472
3473 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3474 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3475 [Bodo Moeller]
3476
3477 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3478 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3479 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3480 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3481
3482 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3483 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3484
3485 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3486 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3487
3488 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3489 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3490 [Bodo Moeller]
3491
3492 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3493 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3494 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3495 [Bodo Moeller]
3496
3497 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3498 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3499
3500 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3501 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3502
3503 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3504 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3505 New EC_METHOD:
3506
3507 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3508
3509 New API functions:
3510
3511 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3512 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3513 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3514 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3515 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3516 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3517
3518 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3519 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3520 enable it).
3521
3522 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3523 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3524 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3525 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3526 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3527 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3528 various internal method names.)
3529
3530 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3531 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3532
3533 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3534 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3535
3536 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3537 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3538
3539 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3540 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3541 methods are undefined.
3542
3543 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3544 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3545
3546 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3547 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3548 length of the modulus.
3549
3550 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3551 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3552
3553 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3554 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3555
3556 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3557 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3558
3559 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3560 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3561 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3562
3563 BN_GF2m_add
3564 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3565 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3566 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3567 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3568 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
3569 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3571 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3572 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3573
3574 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3575 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3576
3577 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3578 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3579 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3580 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3581 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3582 where
3583 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3584 This applies to the following functions:
3585
3586 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
3587 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
3588 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
3589 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3590 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3591 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
3592 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3593 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3594 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3595 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3596
3597 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3598
3599 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
3600 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
3601
3602 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3603
3604 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3605 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3606 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3607 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3608 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3609
3610 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3611 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3612
3613 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3614 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3615 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3616
3617 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3618 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3619
3620 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3621 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3622 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3623 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3625
3626 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3627 functions
3628 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3629 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3630 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3631 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3632 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3633 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3634 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3635 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3636 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3637 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3638 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3639 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3640
3641 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3642 functions
3643 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
3644 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3645 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3646 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3647 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3648
3649 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3650 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3651 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3652 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3653
3654 *) Add functions
3655 EC_POINT_point2bn()
3656 EC_POINT_bn2point()
3657 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3658 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3659 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3660 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3661 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3662
3663 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3664 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3665 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3666 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3667 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3668 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3669 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3670 adding different types of curves.
3671 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3672
3673 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3674 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3675 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3676 [Bodo Moeller]
3677
3678 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3679 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3680
3681 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3682 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3683 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3684 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3685
3686 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3687
3688 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3689 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3690
3691 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3692 library. Most notably,
3693 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3694 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3695 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3696 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3697 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3698 extracted before the specific public key;
3699 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3700 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3701
3702 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3703 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3704 function
3705 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3706 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3707 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3708 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3709 accessed via
3710 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3711 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3712 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3713
3714 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3715 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3716 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3717 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3718 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3719 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3720 differing sizes.
3721 [Richard Levitte]
3722
3723 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3724
3725 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3726 sensitive data.
3727 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3728
3729 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3730 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3731 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3732 [Bodo Moeller]
3733
3734 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3735 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3736 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3737 [Victor Duchovni]
3738
3739 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3740 [Steve Henson]
3741
3742 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3743 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3747 run algorithm test programs.
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3754 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3755 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3756 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3757 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3758 [Bodo Moeller]
3759
3760 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3761 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3762 [Steve Henson]
3763
3764 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3765
3766 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3767 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3768 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3769
3770 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3771 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3772
3773 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3774 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3775
3776 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3777 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3778 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3779
3780 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3781 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3782 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3783 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3784 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3785 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3786 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3787 [Bodo Moeller]
3788
3789 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3790
3791 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3792 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3793
3794 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3795 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3796 undesirable limitations.
3797 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3798
3799 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3800
3801 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3802 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3803 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3804
3805 The latter two were purportedly from
3806 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3807 appear there.
3808
3809 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3810 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3811 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3812 [Bodo Moeller]
3813
3814 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3815 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3816 [Bodo Moeller]
3817
3818 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3819
3820 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3821 module in FIPS mode.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3825 [Steve Henson]
3826
3827 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3828 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3829 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3830 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3834
3835 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3836 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3837 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3838 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3839 the difference induced by this change.
3840 [Andy Polyakov]
3841
3842 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3843
3844 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3845 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3846 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3847 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3848 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3849
3850 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3851 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3852 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3853
3854 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3855 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3856 [Steve Henson]
3857
3858 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3859 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3860 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3861 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3862 biased k.)
3863 [Bodo Moeller]
3864
3865 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3866 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3867 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3868 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3869 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3870
3871 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3872 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3873 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3874 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3875 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3876 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3877
3878 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3879
3880 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3881 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3882 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3883 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3884 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3885 [Bodo Moeller]
3886
3887 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3888 clients need.
3889 [Steve Henson]
3890
3891 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3892 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3893 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3894 [Steve Henson]
3895
3896 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3897 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3898 structures constant.
3899 [Steve Henson]
3900
3901 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3902
3903 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3904 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3905
3906 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3907 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3908 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3909 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3910 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3911 some needed definitions.
3912 [Steve Henson]
3913
3914 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3915 [Ulf Möller]
3916
3917 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3918 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3919 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3920 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3921 [Richard Levitte]
3922
3923 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3924
3925 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3926 server and client random values. Previously
3927 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3928 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3929
3930 This change has negligible security impact because:
3931
3932 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3933 data.
3934
3935 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3936 handshake.
3937
3938 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3939 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3940 values.
3941
3942 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3943 to our attention.
3944
3945 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3946
3947 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3948 [Ulf Möller]
3949
3950 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3951 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3952 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3953
3954 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3958 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3959 [Andy Polyakov]
3960
3961 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3962 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3963 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3966 [Steve Henson]
3967
3968 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3969 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3970 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3971 certificates.
3972 [Steve Henson]
3973
3974 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3975 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3976 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3977 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3978
3979 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3980 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3981 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3982 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3983 been given)
3984 [Richard Levitte]
3985
3986 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3987
3988 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3989 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3990 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3991 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3992 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3993 [Steve Henson]
3994
3995 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3999 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4000
4001 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4002 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4003 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4004 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4005 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4006 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4007 rather than being initialized to 1.
4008 [Steve Henson]
4009
4010 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4011
4012 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4013 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4014 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4017 (CVE-2004-0112)
4018 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4019
4020 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4021 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4022 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4023 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4024 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4025 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4026 [Richard Levitte]
4027
4028 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4029 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4030 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4031 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4032 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4033 for these cases.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4037 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4038 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4039 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4040 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4044 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4045 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4046 < 0.9.7.
4047 [Steve Henson]
4048
4049 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4050 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4051
4052 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4053 [Steve Henson]
4054
4055 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4056
4057 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4058
4059 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4060 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4061
4062 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4063
4064 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4065 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4066
4067 [Steve Henson]
4068
4069 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4070 exiting on the first error in a request.
4071 [Steve Henson]
4072
4073 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4074 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4075 specifications.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4079 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4080 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4081 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4082
4083 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4084 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4085 [Richard Levitte]
4086
4087 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4088 blocks during encryption.
4089 [Richard Levitte]
4090
4091 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4092 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4093 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4094 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4095 certain size.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4099 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4100 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4101 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4102 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4103 parser.
4104 [Steve Henson]
4105
4106 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4107
4108 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4109 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4110 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4111 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4112 [Bodo Moeller]
4113
4114 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4115 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4116 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4117 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4118 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4119
4120 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4121 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4122 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4123 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4124 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4125 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4126 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4127 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4128 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4129 [Bodo Moeller]
4130
4131 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4132 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4133 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4134 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4135 [Geoff Thorpe]
4136
4137 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4138 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4139 [Ulf Moeller]
4140
4141 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4142
4143 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4144 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4145 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4146 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4147 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4148
4149 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4150 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4151 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4152
4153 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4154 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4155 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4156 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4157 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4158
4159 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4160 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4161 used by default when no-err is given.
4162 [Richard Levitte]
4163
4164 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4165 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4166
4167 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4168 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4169 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4170 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4171 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4172
4173 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4174 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4175 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4176 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4177
4178 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4179
4180 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4181
4182 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4183
4184 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4185 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4186 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4187 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4188 root is omitted).
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4192 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4193
4194 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4195 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4199 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4200 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4201 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4202 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4203
4204 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4205 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4206 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4207 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4208 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4209 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4210 followup to PR #377.
4211 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4212
4213 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4214 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4215 [Andy Polyakov]
4216
4217 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4218 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4219 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4220 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4221
4222 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4223
4224 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4225 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
4226
4227 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4228 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4229 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4230 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4231 client and server.
4232 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4233 PR #377.
4234 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4235
4236 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
4237 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4238 removed entirely.
4239 [Richard Levitte]
4240
4241 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4242 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4243 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4244 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4245 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4246 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4247 of libcrypto.
4248 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4249 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4250 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4251 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4252 have to be made anyway).
4253 [Richard Levitte]
4254
4255 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4256 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4257 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4261 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4262 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4263 [Richard Levitte]
4264
4265 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4266 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4267 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4268
4269 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4270 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4271 edit numbers of the version.
4272 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4273
4274 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4275 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4276 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4277
4278 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4280
4281 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4282 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4284
4285 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4286 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4287
4288 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4290
4291 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4293
4294 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4295 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4296
4297 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4298 overflows.
4299 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4300
4301 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4302 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4303 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4304
4305 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4306 representations in a platform independent manner.
4307 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4308
4309 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4310 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4312
4313 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4314 indents.
4315 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4316
4317 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4318 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4319
4320 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4321 full. Fixed.
4322 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4323
4324 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4325 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4327
4328 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4329 unconditionally).
4330 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4331
4332 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4333 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4334
4335 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4336 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4337
4338 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4339 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4340
4341 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4342 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4343
4344 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4345 CBCParameter.
4346 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4347
4348 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4349 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4350
4351 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4352 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4353
4354 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4355 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4356 exploitable.
4357 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4358
4359 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4360 the 0.9.6 release series:
4361
4362 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4363 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4364 (CVE-2002-0657)
4365 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4366
4367 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4368 [Richard Levitte]
4369
4370 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4371 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4372
4373 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4374 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4375
4376 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4377 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4378 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4379 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4380
4381 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4382 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4383 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4384
4385 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4386 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4387 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4388 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4389
4390 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4391 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4392 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4393 some local tweaks:
4394
4395 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4396 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4397 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4398 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4399 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4400 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4401 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4402 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4403 done
4404
4405 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4406 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4407 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4408 [Richard Levitte]
4409
4410 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4411 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4412 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4413 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4414 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4415
4416 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4417 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4418
4419 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4420 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4421 [Richard Levitte]
4422
4423 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4424 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4425 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4426 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4427 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4428 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4429 [Steve Henson]
4430
4431 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4432 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4433 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4437 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4438 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4439
4440 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4441 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4442 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4443 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4444 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4445 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4446 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4447 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4448
4449 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4450 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4451 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4452 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4453 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4454 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4455 [Steve Henson]
4456
4457 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4458 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4459 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4460 declaration has been changed from
4461 int (*cb)()
4462 into
4463 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4464 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4465 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4466 has been changed into
4467 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4468
4469 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4470 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4471 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4472
4473 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4474 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4475
4476 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4477 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4478 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4479 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4480 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4481 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4482 always load it have also been added.
4483 [Steve Henson]
4484
4485 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4486 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4487 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4488
4489 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4490
4491 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4492 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4493 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4494
4495 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4496 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4497 command line option can be used to specify an
4498 alternative file.
4499 [Steve Henson]
4500
4501 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4502 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4503 [Steve Henson]
4504
4505 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4506 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4507 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4508 [Steve Henson]
4509
4510 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4511 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4512 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4513 to work with the new engine framework.
4514 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4515
4516 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4517 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4518 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4519 to work with the new engine framework.
4520 [Richard Levitte]
4521
4522 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4523 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4524 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4525
4526 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4527 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4528
4529 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4530 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4531 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4532 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4533 FORMAT_IISSGC.
4534 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4535
4536 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4537 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4538
4539 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4540 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4541
4542 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4543 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4544 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4545 [Ben Laurie]
4546
4547 *) Add new functions
4548 ERR_peek_last_error
4549 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4550 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4551 These are similar to
4552 ERR_peek_error
4553 ERR_peek_error_line
4554 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4555 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4556 still in the error queue.
4557 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4558
4559 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4560 like:
4561 default_algorithms = ALL
4562 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4563 [Steve Henson]
4564
4565 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4566 [Steve Henson]
4567
4568 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4569 [Steve Henson]
4570
4571 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4572 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4573 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4574 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4575
4576 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4577 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4578
4579 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4580 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4581
4582 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4583 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4584 [Bodo Moeller]
4585
4586 *) New functions/macros
4587
4588 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4589 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4590 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4591 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4592
4593 to request calling a callback function
4594
4595 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4596 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4597
4598 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4599 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4600 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4601 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4602 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4603 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4604 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4605 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4606 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4607 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4608
4609 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4610 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4611 [Bodo Moeller]
4612
4613 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4614 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4615 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4616 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4617 the configuration scripts.
4618
4619 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4620 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4621 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4622
4623 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4624 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4625
4626 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4627 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4628 when reusing an existing buffer.
4629 [Bodo Moeller]
4630
4631 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4632 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4633 [Steve Henson]
4634
4635 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4636 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4637 [Ben Laurie]
4638
4639 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4640 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4641 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4642 has the same effect.
4643 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4644
4645 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4646 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4647 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4648 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4649 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4650 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4651 exception.
4652
4653 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4654 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4655 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4656 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4657
4658 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4659 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4660 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4661 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4662
4663 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4664 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4665 won't work.
4666
4667 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4668 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4669 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4670 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4671 default), and then completely removed.
4672 [Richard Levitte]
4673
4674 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4675 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4676 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4677 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4678 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4679 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4680 particular extension is supported.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4684 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4688 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4689 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4690 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4691 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4692 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4693 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4694 requires the destination to be valid.
4695
4696 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4697 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4698 [Steve Henson]
4699
4700 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4701 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4702 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4703 [Bodo Moeller]
4704
4705 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4706 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4707
4708 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4709 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4710 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4711 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4712 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4713 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4714 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4715 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4716 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4717 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4718 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4719 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4720 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4721 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4722 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4723 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4724 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4725 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4726 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4727 the new code.
4728 [Geoff Thorpe]
4729
4730 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4731 [Steve Henson]
4732
4733 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4734 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4735 become part of libeay.num as well.
4736 [Richard Levitte]
4737
4738 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4739 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4740 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4741 false once a handshake has been completed.
4742 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4743 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4744 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4745 client has followed the request.)
4746 [Bodo Moeller]
4747
4748 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4749 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4750 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4751 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4752
4753 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4754 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4755 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4756 [Bodo Moeller]
4757
4758 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4759 [Steve Henson]
4760
4761 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4762 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4763 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4764 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4765
4766 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4767 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4768 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4769
4770 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4771 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4772 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4773 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4774 [Geoff Thorpe]
4775
4776 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4777 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4778 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4779 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4780 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4781 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4782 [Geoff Thorpe]
4783
4784 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4785 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4786 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4787 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4788 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4789 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4790 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4791 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4792 [Geoff Thorpe]
4793
4794 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4795 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4796 [Geoff Thorpe]
4797
4798 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4799 [Ben Laurie]
4800
4801 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4802 md_data void pointer.
4803 [Ben Laurie]
4804
4805 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4806 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4807 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4808 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4809 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4810 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4811 [Ben Laurie]
4812
4813 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4814 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4815 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4816 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4817 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4818 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4819 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4820 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4821 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4822 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4823 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4824 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4825 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4826 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4827 rather than letting it slide.
4828
4829 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4830 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4831 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4832 [Geoff Thorpe]
4833
4834 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4835 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4836 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4837 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4838 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4839 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4840 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4841 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4842 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4843 [Geoff Thorpe]
4844
4845 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4846 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4847 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4848 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4849 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4850
4851 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4852 [Geoff Thorpe]
4853
4854 *) Add EVP test program.
4855 [Ben Laurie]
4856
4857 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4858 [Ben Laurie]
4859
4860 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4861 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4862 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4863 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4864 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4865 [Steve Henson]
4866
4867 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4868 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4869 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4870 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4871 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4872 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4873 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4874
4875 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4876 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4877 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4878 Usage example:
4879
4880 EVP_MD_CTX md;
4881
4882 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4883 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4884 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4885 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4886 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4887
4888 [Ben Laurie]
4889
4890 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4891 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4892 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4893 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4894 anyway): E.g.,
4895
4896 des_key_schedule ks;
4897
4898 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4899 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4900
4901 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4902 [Ben Laurie]
4903
4904 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4905 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4906 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4907 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4908 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4909 functions prevents this.
4910 [Steve Henson]
4911
4912 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4913 [Ben Laurie]
4914
4915 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4916 correct _ecb suffix.
4917 [Ben Laurie]
4918
4919 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4920 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4921 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4922 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4923 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4924 [Steve Henson]
4925
4926 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4927 [Richard Levitte]
4928
4929 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4930 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4931 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4932 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4933
4934 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4935 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4936
4937 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4938 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4939 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4940 via Richard Levitte]
4941
4942 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4943 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4944 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4945 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4946 [Geoff Thorpe]
4947
4948 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4949 Before:
4950 encrypt
4951 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4952 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
4953 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
4954 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
4955 decrypt
4956 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
4957 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
4958 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
4959 After:
4960 encrypt
4961 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
4962 decrypt
4963 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
4964 [Ben Laurie]
4965
4966 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4967 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4968
4969 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4970 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4971 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4972 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4973 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4974 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4978 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4979 [Richard Levitte]
4980
4981 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4982 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4983 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4984 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4985
4986 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4987 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4988 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4989 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4990 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4991 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4992 callback.
4993 [Richard Levitte]
4994
4995 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4996 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4997 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4998 and interrupts/cancellations.
4999 [Richard Levitte]
5000
5001 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5002 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5003 [Steve Henson]
5004
5005 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5006 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5007 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5008
5009 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5010 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5011 kind of callback.
5012 [Richard Levitte]
5013
5014 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5015 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5016 than this minimum value is recommended.
5017 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5018
5019 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5020 that are easily reachable.
5021 [Richard Levitte]
5022
5023 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5024 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5025
5026 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5027
5028 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5029 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5030 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5031 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5032 [Steve Henson]
5033
5034 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5035 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5036 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5037 [Steve Henson]
5038
5039 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5040 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5041 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5042 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5043 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5044 internally such as S/MIME.
5045
5046 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5047 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5048 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5049
5050 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5051 applications.
5052 [Steve Henson]
5053
5054 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5055 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5056 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5057 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5058
5059 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5060
5061 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5062
5063 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5064 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5065 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5066 handling.
5067 [Steve Henson]
5068
5069 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5070 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5071 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5072 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5073 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5074 a window system and the like.
5075 [Richard Levitte]
5076
5077 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5078 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5079 [Geoff]
5080
5081 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5082 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5083 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5084 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5085 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5086 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5087 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5088 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5089 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5090 ENGINE structure.
5091 [Geoff]
5092
5093 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5094 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5095 tag cache.
5096 [Steve Henson]
5097
5098 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5099 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5100 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5101 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5102 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5103 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5104 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5105 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5106 [Geoff]
5107
5108 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5109 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5110 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5111 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5112 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5113 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5114 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5115 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5116 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5117 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5118 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5119 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5120 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5121 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5122 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5123 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5124 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5125 [Geoff]
5126
5127 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5128 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5129 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5130 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5131 internal engine_int.h header.
5132 [Geoff]
5133
5134 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5135 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5136 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5137 modify their own ones).
5138 [Geoff]
5139
5140 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5141 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5142 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5143 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5144 later on via ctrl() commands.
5145 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5146 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5147 structural references.
5148 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5149 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5150 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5151 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5152 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5153 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5154 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5155 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5156 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5157 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5158 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5159 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5160 [Geoff]
5161
5162 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5163 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5164 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5165 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5166 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5167 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5168 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5169 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5170 [Bodo Moeller]
5171
5172 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5173 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5174 [Steve Henson]
5175
5176 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5177 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5178 [Steve Henson]
5179
5180 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5181 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5182 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5183 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5184 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5185 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5186 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5187 [Steve Henson]
5188
5189 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5190 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5191 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5192 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5193 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5194
5195 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5196 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5197 generator).
5198 [Bodo Moeller]
5199
5200 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5201
5202 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5203 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5204 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5205
5206 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5207 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5208
5209 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5210 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5211 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5212
5213 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5214 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5215
5216 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5217 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5218
5219 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5220
5221 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5222 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5223 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5224 [Bodo Moeller]
5225
5226 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5227 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5228 [Richard Levitte]
5229
5230 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5231 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5232 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5233 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5234 is 40 of more characters long.
5235 [Steve Henson]
5236
5237 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5238 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5239 pointers.
5240 [Steve Henson]
5241
5242 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5243 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5244 [Bodo Moeller]
5245
5246 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5247 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5248 might.
5249 [Steve Henson]
5250
5251 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5252
5253 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5254 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5255
5256 ASN1 error codes
5257 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5258 ...
5259 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5260 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5261 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5262 ...
5263 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5264 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5265
5266 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5267 [Bodo Moeller]
5268
5269 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5270 suffices.
5271 [Bodo Moeller]
5272
5273 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5274 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5275 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5276 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5277 and
5278 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5279
5280 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5281 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5282
5283 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5284 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5285 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5286 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5287 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5288 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5289
5290 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5291 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5292
5293 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5294 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5295
5296 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5297 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5298
5299 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5300 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5301 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5302 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5303
5304 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5305 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5306
5307 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5308 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5309
5310 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5311 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5312 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5313 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5314 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5315 [Richard Levitte]
5316
5317 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5318 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5319 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5320 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5321 [Steve Henson]
5322
5323 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5324 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5325 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5326 trust settings.
5327 [Steve Henson]
5328
5329 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5330 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5331 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5332 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5333 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5334 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5335 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5336 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5337 ocsp utility.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5341 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5342 [Steve Henson]
5343
5344 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5345 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5346 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5347 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5348 [Steve Henson]
5349
5350 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5351 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5352 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5353 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5354 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5355 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5356 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5357 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5358 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5359 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5360 [Steve Henson]
5361
5362 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5363 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5364 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5365 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5366 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5367 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5368 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5369 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5370
5371 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5372 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5373 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5374 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5375 [Richard Levitte]
5376
5377 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5378 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5379 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5380 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5381 opensslconf.h.
5382 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5383 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5384 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5385 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5386 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5387 what is available.
5388 [Richard Levitte]
5389
5390 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5391 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5392 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5393 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5394 auto incremented.
5395 [Steve Henson]
5396
5397 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5398 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5399 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5400 [Steve Henson]
5401
5402 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5403 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5404 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5405 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5406 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5407 [Steve Henson]
5408
5409 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5410 [Steve Henson]
5411
5412 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5413 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5414 option to ocsp utility.
5415 [Steve Henson]
5416
5417 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5418 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5419 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5420 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5421 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5422 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5423 the request is nonce-less.
5424 [Steve Henson]
5425
5426 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5427 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5428 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5429 [Bodo Moeller]
5430
5431 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5432 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5433 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5434 [Steve Henson]
5435
5436 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5437 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5438 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5439 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5440 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5441 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5442
5443 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5444 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5445 appear to exist.
5446 [Steve Henson]
5447
5448 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5449 additional certificates supplied.
5450 [Steve Henson]
5451
5452 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5453 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5454 signature against.
5455 [Richard Levitte]
5456
5457 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5458 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5459 AES OIDs.
5460
5461 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5462 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5463 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5464 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5465 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5466 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5467 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5468 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5469 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5470
5471 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5472 request to response.
5473 [Steve Henson]
5474
5475 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5476 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5477 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5478 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5479 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5480 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5481 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5482 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5483 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5484 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5485 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5486 [Steve Henson]
5487
5488 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5489 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5490 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5491 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5492 [Steve Henson]
5493
5494 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5495 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5496
5497 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5498 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5499 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5500 [Steve Henson]
5501
5502 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5503 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5504 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5505 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5506 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5507
5508 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5509 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5510 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5511 [Steve Henson]
5512
5513 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5514 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5515 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5516 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5517 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5518 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5519 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5520 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5521
5522 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5523 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5524 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5525 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5526 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5527 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5528 [Steve Henson]
5529
5530 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5531 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5532 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5533 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5534 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5535 printout format cleaned up.
5536 [Steve Henson]
5537
5538 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5539 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5540 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5541 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5542 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5543 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5544 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5545 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5546 [Steve Henson]
5547
5548 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5549 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5550 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5551 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5552 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5553 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5554 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5555 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5556 [Steve Henson]
5557
5558 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5559 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5560 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5561 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5562 section to use.
5563 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5564
5565 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5566 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5567 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5568 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5569 [Steve Henson]
5570
5571 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5572 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5573 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5574 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5575 in the index file.
5576 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5577
5578 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5579 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5580 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5581 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5582
5583 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5584 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5585
5586 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5587 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5588 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5589 [Steve Henson]
5590
5591 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5592 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5593 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5594 [Bodo Moeller]
5595
5596 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5597 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5598 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5599 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5600 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5601 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5602 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5603 functions are provided:
5604
5605 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5606 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5607 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5608 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5609
5610 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5611 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5612 extended allocation function is enabled.
5613 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5614 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5615 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5616
5617 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5618 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5619 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5620 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5621 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5622 [Geoff Thorpe]
5623
5624 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5625 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5626 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5627 be queried.
5628 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5629 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5630 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5631 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5632
5633 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5634 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5635 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5636 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5637 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5638 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5639 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5640 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5641 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5642 [Richard Levitte]
5643
5644 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5645 provide utility functions which an application needing
5646 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5647 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5648 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5649
5650 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5651 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5652 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5653 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5654 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5655 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5656 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5657 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5658 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5659
5660 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5661 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5662 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5663 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5664 [Steve Henson]
5665
5666 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5667 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5668 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5669 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5670 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5671 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5672 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5673 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5674 will be added elsewhere.
5675 [Steve Henson]
5676
5677 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5678 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5679 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5680 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5681 [Steve Henson]
5682
5683 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5684 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5685 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5686 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5687 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5688 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5689 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5690 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5691 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5692 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5693 to produce the required SET OF.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5697 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5698 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5699 [Richard Levitte]
5700
5701 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5702 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5703 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5704 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5705 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5706 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5707 [Steve Henson]
5708
5709 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5710 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5711 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5712 [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5715 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5716 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5717 [Richard Levitte]
5718
5719 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5720 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5721 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5722 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5723 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5724 [Steve Henson]
5725
5726 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5727 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5728 [Steve Henson]
5729
5730 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5731 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5732 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5733 certifcates and CRLs.
5734 [Steve Henson]
5735
5736 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5737 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5738 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5742 entries for variables.
5743 [Steve Henson]
5744
5745 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5746 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5747 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5748 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5749 [Bodo Moeller]
5750
5751 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5752 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5753 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5754 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5755 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5756 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5757 [Bodo Moeller]
5758
5759 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5760 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5761
5762 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5763 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5764 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5765 [Steve Henson]
5766
5767 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5768 print routines.
5769 [Steve Henson]
5770
5771 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5772 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5773 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5774 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5775 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5776 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5777 [Steve Henson]
5778
5779 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5780 [Steve Henson]
5781
5782 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5783 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5784 for now but they will eventually go away.
5785 [Steve Henson]
5786
5787 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5788 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5789 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5790 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5791 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5792 has also been converted to the new form.
5793 [Steve Henson]
5794
5795 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5796 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5797 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5798 for negative moduli.
5799 [Bodo Moeller]
5800
5801 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5802 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5803 [Bodo Moeller]
5804
5805 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5806 set.
5807 [Bodo Moeller]
5808
5809 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5810 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5811 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5812 type-specific callbacks.
5813 [Geoff Thorpe]
5814
5815 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5816 RFC 2712.
5817 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5818 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5819
5820 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5821 in sections depending on the subject.
5822 [Richard Levitte]
5823
5824 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5825 Windows.
5826 [Richard Levitte]
5827
5828 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5829 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5830 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5831 be handled deterministically).
5832 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5833
5834 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5835 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5836 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5837 [Bodo Moeller]
5838
5839 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5840 [Bodo Moeller]
5841
5842 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5843 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5844 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5845 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5846 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5847 [Bodo Moeller]
5848
5849 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5850 sign of the number in question.
5851
5852 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5853
5854 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5855 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5856 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5857 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5858 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5859 [Bodo Moeller]
5860
5861 *) New function BN_swap.
5862 [Bodo Moeller]
5863
5864 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5865 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5866 results on negative inputs.
5867 [Bodo Moeller]
5868
5869 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5870 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5871 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5872 [Bodo Moeller]
5873
5874 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5875 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5876 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5877 and add new functions:
5878
5879 BN_nnmod
5880 BN_mod_sqr
5881 BN_mod_add
5882 BN_mod_add_quick
5883 BN_mod_sub
5884 BN_mod_sub_quick
5885 BN_mod_lshift1
5886 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5887 BN_mod_lshift
5888 BN_mod_lshift_quick
5889
5890 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5891
5892 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5893 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5894
5895 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5896 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5897 be reduced modulo m.
5898 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5899
5900 #if 0
5901 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5902 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5903 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5904
5905 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5906 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5907 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5908 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5909 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5910 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5911 differing sizes.
5912 [Richard Levitte]
5913 #endif
5914
5915 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5916 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5917 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5918 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5919 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5920
5921 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5922 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5923 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5924 cause any problems.
5925 [Bodo Moeller]
5926
5927 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5928 [Richard Levitte]
5929
5930 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5931 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5932 [Richard Levitte]
5933
5934 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5935 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5936 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5937 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5938 time)
5939 [Richard Levitte]
5940
5941 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5942 [Richard Levitte]
5943
5944 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5945 [Richard Levitte]
5946
5947 *) Add the following functions:
5948
5949 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5950 ENGINE_load_chil()
5951 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5952 ENGINE_load_nuron()
5953 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5954
5955 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5956 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5957 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5958 libraries unless it's really needed.
5959
5960 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5961 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5962 declarations (they differed!).
5963 [Richard Levitte]
5964
5965 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5966 [Richard Levitte]
5967
5968 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5969 [Richard Levitte]
5970
5971 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5972 [Bodo Moeller]
5973
5974 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5975 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5976 [Richard Levitte]
5977
5978 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5979 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5980 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5981
5982 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5983 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5984 [Richard Levitte]
5985
5986 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5987 [Richard Levitte]
5988
5989 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5990 [Richard Levitte]
5991
5992 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5993 [Ben Laurie]
5994
5995 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5996 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5997 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5998
5999 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6000 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6001 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6002 different shared library filenames on each system.
6003 [Geoff Thorpe]
6004
6005 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6006 [Richard Levitte]
6007
6008 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6009 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6010 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6011 of two sections.
6012 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6013
6014 *) NCONF changes.
6015 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6016 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6017 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6018 binary backward compatibility.
6019 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6020 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6021 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6022 LDAP server.
6023 [Richard Levitte]
6024
6025 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6026 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6027 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6028 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6029 this case.
6030 [Steve Henson]
6031
6032 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6033 [Ben Laurie]
6034
6035 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6036 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6037 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6038 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6039 set.
6040 [Steve Henson]
6041
6042 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6043 [Richard Levitte]
6044
6045 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6046
6047 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6048 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6049 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6050
6051 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6052
6053 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6054
6055 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6056 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6057 [Steve Henson]
6058
6059 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6060
6061 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6062
6063 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6064 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6065
6066 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6067 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6068
6069 [Steve Henson]
6070
6071 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6072 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6073 specifications.
6074 [Steve Henson]
6075
6076 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6077 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6078 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6079 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6080
6081 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6082 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6083 [Richard Levitte]
6084
6085 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6086
6087 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6088 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6089 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6090 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6091 [Bodo Moeller]
6092
6093 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6094 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6095 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6096 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6097 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6098
6099 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6100 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6101 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6102 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6103 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6104 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6105 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6106 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6107 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6108 [Bodo Moeller]
6109
6110 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6111
6112 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6113 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6114 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6115 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6116 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6117
6118 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6119 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6120 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6121
6122 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6123
6124 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6125 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6126 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6127 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6128 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6129 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6130 [Geoff Thorpe]
6131
6132 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6133 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6134 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6135 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6136 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6137 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6138
6139 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6140 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6141 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6142
6143 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6144 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6145 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6146 EVP_cleanup().
6147 [Richard Levitte]
6148
6149 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6150 being properly terminated.
6151 [Richard Levitte]
6152
6153 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6154 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6155 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6156 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6157
6158 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6159 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6160 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6161 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6162 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6163 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6164 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6165 change.
6166 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6167
6168 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6169 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6170 [Bodo Moeller]
6171
6172 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6173 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6174 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6175 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6176 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6177 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6178 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6179 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6180
6181 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6182 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6183 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6184 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6185 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6186
6187 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6188 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6189 [Steve Henson]
6190
6191 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6192
6193 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6194 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6195 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6196
6197 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6198
6199 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6200 and get fix the header length calculation.
6201 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6202 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6203 Steve Henson]
6204
6205 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6206 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6207 assertions could call abort()).
6208 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6209
6210 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6211
6212 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6213 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6214 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6215 supplied buffer.
6216 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6217
6218 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6219 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6220 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6221 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6222
6223 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6224 [Nils Larsch]
6225
6226 *) New option
6227 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6228 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6229 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6230
6231 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6232 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6233 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6234 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6235 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6236 applications.
6237 [Bodo Moeller]
6238
6239 *) Changes in security patch:
6240
6241 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6242 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6243 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6244 F30602-01-2-0537.
6245
6246 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6247 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6248 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6249 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6250 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6251
6252 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6253 happen in practice.
6254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6255
6256 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6257 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6258 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6259
6260 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6261 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6263
6264 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6265 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6266 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6267
6268 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6269
6270 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6271 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6272 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6273
6274 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6275 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6276
6277 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6278 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6279 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6280 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6281 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6282 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6283 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6284
6285 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6286 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6287 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6288 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6289 [Bodo Moeller]
6290
6291 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6292 [Bodo Moeller]
6293
6294 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6295 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6296 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6297 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6298 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6299 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6300
6301 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6302 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6303 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6304 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6305 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6306 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6307
6308 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6309 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6310 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6311 BN_generate_prime().)
6312
6313 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6314 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6315 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6316 better.
6317 [Bodo Moeller]
6318
6319 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6320 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6321 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6322
6323 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6324 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6325 when using non-blocking I/O.
6326 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6327
6328 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6329 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6330
6331 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6332 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6333 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6334
6335 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6336 configuration for the versions before that.
6337 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6338
6339 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6340 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6341 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6342 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6343 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6344
6345 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6346 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6347 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6348 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6349
6350 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6351 value is 0.
6352 [Richard Levitte]
6353
6354 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6355 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6356 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6357
6358 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6359 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6360
6361 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6362 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6363 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6364 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6365 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6366 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6367 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6368 session cache.
6369
6370 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6371 using a local variable.
6372 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6373
6374 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6375 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6376 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6377
6378 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6379 [Richard Levitte]
6380
6381 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6382 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6383
6384 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6385 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6386 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6387
6388 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6389
6390 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6391 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6392 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6393 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6394 [Bodo Moeller]
6395
6396 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6397 present.
6398 [Steve Henson]
6399
6400 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6401 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6402 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6403 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6404 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6405
6406 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6407 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6408 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6409
6410 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6411 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6412 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6413
6414 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6415 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6416 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6417 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6418
6419 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6420 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6421 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6422 modules).
6423 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6424
6425 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6426 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6427 from 0.9.7.
6428 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6429
6430 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6431 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6432 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6433 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6434
6435 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6436 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6437 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6438 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6439
6440 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6441 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6442
6443 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6444 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6445 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6446 [Bodo Moeller]
6447
6448 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6449 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6450 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6451 become invalid.
6452 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6453
6454 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6455 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6456 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6457 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6458 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6459 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6460 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6461 [Bodo Moeller]
6462
6463 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6464 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6465 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6466 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6467
6468 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6469 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6470 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6471 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6472 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6473 the client will at least see that alert.
6474 [Bodo Moeller]
6475
6476 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6477 correctly.
6478 [Bodo Moeller]
6479
6480 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6481 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6482 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6483
6484 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6485 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6486 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6487 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6488 HelloRequest.
6489
6490 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6491 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6492 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6493
6494 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6495 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6496 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6497 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6498 may leak via logfiles.)
6499
6500 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6501 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6502 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6503 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6504 the legal range.
6505 [Bodo Moeller]
6506
6507 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6508 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6509 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6510
6511 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6512 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6513 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6514 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6515 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6516 [Bodo Moeller]
6517
6518 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6519 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6520
6521 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6522 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6523 followed by modular reduction.
6524 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6525
6526 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6527 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6528 [Bodo Moeller]
6529
6530 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6531 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6532 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6533 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6534 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6535
6536 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6537 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6538
6539 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6540 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6541 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6542
6543 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6544 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6545 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6546 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6547 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6548 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6549 automatically.
6550 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6551
6552 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6553 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6554 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6555 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6556 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6557
6558 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6559 [Andy Polyakov]
6560
6561 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6562 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6563 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6564 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6565 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6566 to allow the necessary settings.
6567 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6568
6569 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6570 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6571 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6572 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6573 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6574
6575 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6576 dh->length and always used
6577
6578 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6579
6580 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6581 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6582 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6583 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6584 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6585 dh->length.
6586
6587 So switch back to
6588
6589 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6590
6591 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6592 otherwise.
6593 [Bodo Moeller]
6594
6595 *) In
6596
6597 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6598 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6599 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6600 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6601
6602 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6603 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6604 always reject numbers >= n.
6605 [Bodo Moeller]
6606
6607 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6608 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6609 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6610 variable) is not atomic.
6611 [Bodo Moeller]
6612
6613 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6614 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6615 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6616 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6617
6618 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6619 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6620
6621 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6622 little-endian MIPS.
6623 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6624
6625 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6626 [Richard Levitte]
6627
6628 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6629
6630 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6631 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6632 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6633 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6634 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6635 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6636 to traverse all of 'state'.
6637
6638 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6639 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6640 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6641
6642 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6643 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6644
6645 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6646 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6647 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6648 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6649 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6650 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6651 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6652 further strengthens the PRNG.
6653 [Bodo Moeller]
6654
6655 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6656 [Andy Polyakov]
6657
6658 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6659 an error message in this case.
6660 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6661
6662 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6663 [Steve Henson]
6664
6665 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6666 positive and less than q.
6667 [Bodo Moeller]
6668
6669 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6670 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6671 that itself.
6672 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6673
6674 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6675 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6676 [Bodo Moeller]
6677
6678 *) Fix OAEP check.
6679 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6680
6681 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6682 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6683 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6684 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6685 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6686 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6687 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6688 paper.)
6689
6690 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6691 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6692 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6693 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6694
6695 Both problems are now fixed.
6696 [Bodo Moeller]
6697
6698 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6699 (previously it was 1024).
6700 [Bodo Moeller]
6701
6702 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6703 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6704 [Steve Henson]
6705
6706 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6707 [Steve Henson]
6708
6709 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6710 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6711 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6712 [Steve Henson]
6713
6714 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6715 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6716 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6717 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6718 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6719 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6720 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6721 environment variables.
6722
6723 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6724 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6725 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6726 [Bodo Moeller]
6727
6728 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6729 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6730 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6731 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6732 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6733 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6734 [Bodo Moeller]
6735
6736 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6737 versions of 'test'.
6738 [Bodo Moeller]
6739
6740 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6741
6742 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6743 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6744
6745 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6746 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6747 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6748 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6749 CygWin.
6750 [Richard Levitte]
6751
6752 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6753 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6754 amount of data available.
6755 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6756 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6757
6758 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6759 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6760 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6761 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6762 [Bodo Moeller]
6763
6764 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6765 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6766 and UnixWare.
6767 [Richard Levitte]
6768
6769 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6770 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6771 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6772 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6773 [Ulf Moeller]
6774
6775 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6776 [Andy Polyakov]
6777
6778 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6779 [Richard Levitte]
6780
6781 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6782 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6783 [Steve Henson]
6784 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6785
6786 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6787 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6788 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6789 (but broken) behaviour.
6790 [Steve Henson]
6791
6792 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6793 it when found.
6794 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6795
6796 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6797 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6798 [Bodo Moeller]
6799
6800 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6801 did not exist.
6802 [Bodo Moeller]
6803
6804 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6805 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6806
6807 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6808 [Richard Levitte]
6809
6810 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6811 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6812 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6813
6814 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6815 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6816 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6817 [Steve Henson]
6818
6819 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6820 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6821 [Ulf Moeller]
6822
6823 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6824 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6825
6826 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6827
6828 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6829
6830 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6831 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6832 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6833 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6834 [Bodo Moeller]
6835
6836 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6837 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6838
6839 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6840 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6841 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6842
6843 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6844 was empty.
6845 [Steve Henson]
6846 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6847
6848 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6849 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6850 but the code is actually correct.
6851 [Steve Henson]
6852
6853 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6854 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6855 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6856 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6857 and leaves the highest bit random.
6858 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6859
6860 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6861 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6862 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6863 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6864 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6865 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6866 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6867 [Bodo Moeller]
6868
6869 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6870 [Ulf Moeller]
6871
6872 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6873 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6874 [Steve Henson]
6875
6876 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6877 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6878 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6879 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6880 headers.
6881 [Richard Levitte]
6882
6883 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6884 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6885 and break the signature.
6886 [Steve Henson]
6887 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6888
6889 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6890 DH ciphersuites.
6891 [Steve Henson]
6892
6893 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6894 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6895 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6896 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6897 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6898 [Bodo Moeller]
6899
6900 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6901 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6902
6903 *) ./config script fixes.
6904 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6905
6906 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6907 [Bodo Moeller]
6908
6909 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6910 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6911 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6912 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6913 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6914
6915 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6916 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6917 [Bodo Moeller]
6918
6919 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6920 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6921 [Steve Henson]
6922
6923 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6924 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6925 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6926 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6927
6928 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6929 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6930
6931 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6932 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6933 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6934 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6935 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6936
6937 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6938 [Bodo Moeller]
6939
6940 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6941 [Ulf Möller]
6942
6943 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6944 [Ulf Möller]
6945
6946 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6947 [Bodo Moeller]
6948
6949 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6950 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6951 [Bodo Moeller]
6952
6953 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6954 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6955 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6956 result of the server certificate verification.)
6957 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6958
6959 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6960 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6961 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6962 [Bodo Moeller]
6963
6964 *) Fix SSL_peek:
6965 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6966 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6967 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6968 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6969 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6970 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6971 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6972 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6973 [Bodo Moeller]
6974
6975 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6976 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6977 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6978 happening the other way round.
6979 [Geoff Thorpe]
6980
6981 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6982 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6983 [Bodo Moeller]
6984
6985 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6986 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6987 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6988 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6989 [Richard Levitte]
6990
6991 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6992 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6993
6994 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6995
6996 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6997 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6998 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6999 that.
7000
7001 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7002
7003 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7004
7005 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7006 static ones.
7007 [Richard Levitte]
7008
7009 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7010
7011 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7012 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7013 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7014 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7015 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7016
7017 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7018 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7019 matter what.
7020 [Richard Levitte]
7021
7022 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7023 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7024
7025 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7026
7027 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7028 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7029 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7030 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7031 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7032 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7033 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7034 by the Finished messages.
7035 [Bodo Moeller]
7036
7037 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7038 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7039
7040 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7041 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7042 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7043 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7044 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7045 appropriately.
7046 [Steve Henson]
7047
7048 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7049 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7050 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7051 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7052 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7053 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7054 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7055 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7056 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7057 together.
7058 [Steve Henson]
7059
7060 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7061 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7062 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7063 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7064
7065 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7066 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7067 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7068 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7069 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7070 the answer.
7071
7072 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7073 been tested well enough.
7074 [Richard Levitte]
7075
7076 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7077 it can return incorrect results.
7078 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7079 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7080 [Bodo Moeller]
7081
7082 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7083 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7084 include zero length content when signing messages.
7085 [Steve Henson]
7086
7087 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7088 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7089 [Bodo Möller]
7090
7091 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7092 [Richard Levitte]
7093
7094 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7095 wrong sign.
7096 [Ulf Möller]
7097
7098 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7099 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7100 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7101 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7102 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7103 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7104 [Richard Levitte]
7105
7106 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7107 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7108
7109 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7110 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7111
7112 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7113 random number < q in the DSA library.
7114 [Ulf Möller]
7115
7116 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7117 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7118 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7119 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7120 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7121 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7122 just makes things more complicated.)
7123 [Bodo Moeller]
7124
7125 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7126 from EGD.
7127 [Ben Laurie]
7128
7129 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7130 work better on such systems.
7131 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7132
7133 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7134 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7135 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7136 [Steve Henson]
7137
7138 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7139 if there was more than one signature.
7140 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7141
7142 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7143 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7144 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7145 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7146 [Richard Levitte]
7147
7148 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7149 rather than always using the current time.
7150 [Steve Henson]
7151
7152 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7153 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7154 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7155 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7156 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7157 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7158
7159 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7160 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7161
7162 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7163
7164 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7165 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7166 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7167 the same hash value.
7168
7169 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7170 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7171 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7172 with X509_STORE internally.
7173
7174 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7175 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7176
7177 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7178 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7179 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7180 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7181 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7182 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7183 entirely (maybe later...).
7184
7185 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7186
7187 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7188 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7189 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7190 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7191 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7192 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7193 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7194 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7195
7196 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7197 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7198
7199 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7200 to customise the verify behaviour.
7201 [Steve Henson]
7202
7203 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7204 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7205 [Steve Henson]
7206
7207 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7208 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7209 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7210 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7211 request is improperly encoded.
7212 [Steve Henson]
7213
7214 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7215 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7216 BIO_write(b, ...).
7217
7218 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7219 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7220
7221 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7222 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7223 words set to zero.)
7224 [Bodo Moeller]
7225
7226 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7227 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7228 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7229 [Bodo Moeller]
7230
7231 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7232 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7233 BIO/fp routines also added.
7234 [Steve Henson]
7235
7236 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7237 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7238
7239 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7240 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7241 demos/state_machine.
7242 [Ben Laurie]
7243
7244 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7245 generation and verification.
7246 [Steve Henson]
7247
7248 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7249 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7250 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7251 encode and decode it manually.
7252 [Steve Henson]
7253
7254 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7255 compile under VC++.
7256 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7257
7258 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7259 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7260 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7261 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7262
7263 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7264 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7265 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7266 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7267 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7271 [Richard Levitte]
7272
7273 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7274 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7275 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7276
7277 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7278 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7279 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7280 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7281 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7282 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7283 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7284 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7285
7286 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7287 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7288
7289 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7290
7291 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7292 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7293 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7294
7295 [Richard Levitte]
7296
7297 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7298 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7299 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7300 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7301 [Richard Levitte]
7302
7303 *) MD4 implemented.
7304 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7305
7306 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7307 [Richard Levitte]
7308
7309 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7310 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7311 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7312 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7313 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7314 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7315 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7316 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7317 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7318 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7319 short or long names are found.
7320 [Steve Henson]
7321
7322 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7323 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7324
7325 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7326 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7327 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7328 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7329
7330 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7331 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7332 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7333 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7334 [Bodo Moeller]
7335
7336 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7337 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7338 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7339 [Richard Levitte]
7340
7341 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7342 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7343 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7344 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7345 to allow the various flags to be set.
7346 [Steve Henson]
7347
7348 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7349 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7350 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7351 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7352 dates to be checked.
7353 [Steve Henson]
7354
7355 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7356 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7357 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7358 [Steve Henson]
7359
7360 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7361 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7362 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7363 [Steve Henson]
7364
7365 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7366 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7367 [Bodo Moeller]
7368
7369 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7370 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7371 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7372 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7373 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7374 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7375 [Richard Levitte]
7376
7377 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7378 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7379 Random Numbers.
7380 [Ulf Möller]
7381
7382 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7383 DSA key.
7384 [Steve Henson]
7385
7386 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7387 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7388 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7389 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7390 form signing output easier to verify.
7391 [Steve Henson]
7392
7393 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7394 [Steve Henson]
7395
7396 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7397 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7398 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7399 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7400 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7401 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7402 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7403 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7404 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7405 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7406 [Steve Henson]
7407
7408 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7409
7410 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7411 the syntax given in objects.README.
7412 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7413 obj_mac.h.
7414 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7415 obj_mac.h.
7416
7417 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7418 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7419 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7420 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7421 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7422 consistent name changes.
7423 [Richard Levitte]
7424
7425 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7426 [Bodo Moeller]
7427
7428 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7429 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7430 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7431 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7432 [Richard Levitte]
7433
7434 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7435 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7436 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7437 of safestack.h .
7438 [Steve Henson]
7439
7440 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7441 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7442 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7443 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7444 [Steve Henson]
7445
7446 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7447 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7448 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7449 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7450 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7451 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7452 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7453 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7454 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7455 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7456 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7457 [Steve Henson]
7458
7459 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7460 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7461 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7462 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7463 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7464 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7465 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7466 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7467 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7468 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7472 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7473 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7474 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7475
7476 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7477 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7478 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7479 omit any duplicate addresses.
7480 [Steve Henson]
7481
7482 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7483 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7484 [Bodo Moeller]
7485
7486 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7487 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7488 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7489 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7490 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7491 [Bodo Moeller]
7492
7493 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7494 software:
7495 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7496 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7497 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7498 Free => OPENSSL_free
7499 [Richard Levitte]
7500
7501 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7502 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7503 [Bodo Moeller]
7504
7505 *) CygWin32 support.
7506 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7507
7508 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7509 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7510 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7511 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7512 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7513 approach.
7514 [Geoff Thorpe]
7515
7516 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7517 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7518 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7519 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7520 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7521 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7522 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7523 [Geoff Thorpe]
7524
7525 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7526 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7527 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7528 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7529 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7530 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7531 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7532 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7533 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7534 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7535 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7536 [Bodo Moeller]
7537
7538 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7539 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7540 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7541 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7542 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7543
7544 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7545 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7546 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7547 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7548 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7549
7550 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7551 ciphers.
7552
7553 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7554 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7555 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7556 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7557
7558 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7559
7560 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7561 of macros.
7562
7563 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7564 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7565 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7566 flags.
7567
7568 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7569 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7570 any installed hardware versions can.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7574 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7575 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7576 number.
7577 [Bodo Moeller]
7578
7579 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7580 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7581 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7582 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7583 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7584
7585 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7586 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7587 [Steve Henson]
7588
7589 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7590 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7591 [Richard Levitte]
7592
7593 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7594 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7595 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7596 features.
7597 [Steve Henson]
7598
7599 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7600 [Ulf Möller]
7601
7602 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7603 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7604 but no ssl client purpose.
7605 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7606
7607 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7608 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7609 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7610 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7611 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7612 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7613 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7614 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7615 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7616 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7617 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7618 [Steve Henson]
7619
7620 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7621 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7622 be obtained from the error queue.
7623 [Bodo Moeller]
7624
7625 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7626 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7627 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7628 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7629 [Bodo Moeller]
7630
7631 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7632 [Ulf Möller]
7633
7634 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7635 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7636 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7637 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7638 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7639 [Geoff Thorpe]
7640
7641 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7642 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7643 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7644 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7645 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7646 [Geoff Thorpe]
7647
7648 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7649 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7650 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7651 may not be NULL.
7652 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7653
7654 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7655 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7656 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7657 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7658 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7659 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7660 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7661 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7662 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7663 or "the configuration storage API"...
7664
7665 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7666
7667 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7668 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7669
7670 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7671
7672 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7673
7674 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7675 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7676 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7677 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7678 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7679 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7680 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7681
7682 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7683 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7684 [Richard Levitte]
7685
7686 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7687 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7688 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7689 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7690 [Bodo Moeller]
7691
7692 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7693 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7694 them in a portable way.
7695 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7696
7697 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7698
7699 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7700
7701 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7702 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7703
7704 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7705 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7706 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7707 <attili@amaxo.com>]
7708
7709 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7710 was larger than the MD block size.
7711 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7712
7713 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7714 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7715 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7716 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7717 components.
7718 [Steve Henson]
7719
7720 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7721 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7722 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7723
7724 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7725 discouraged.
7726 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7727
7728 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7729 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7730 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7731 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7732 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7733 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7734
7735 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7736 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7737
7738 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7739 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7740 [Bodo Moeller]
7741
7742 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7743 [Bodo Moeller]
7744
7745 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7746 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7747 its own key.
7748 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7749 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7750 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7751 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7752 [Bodo Moeller]
7753
7754 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7755 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7756 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7757 does not suppress any output.
7758 [Richard Levitte]
7759
7760 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7761 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7762 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7763 with all the associated security issues.
7764
7765 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7766 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7767 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7768 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7769 use the value in the default purpose.
7770 [Steve Henson]
7771
7772 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7773 and fix a memory leak.
7774 [Steve Henson]
7775
7776 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7777 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7778 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7779 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7780 [Bodo Moeller]
7781
7782 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7783 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7784 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7785 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7786 [Bodo Moeller]
7787
7788 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7789 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7790 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7791 [Bodo Moeller]
7792
7793 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7794 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7795 [Bodo Moeller]
7796
7797 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7798 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7799 which was free.
7800 [Steve Henson]
7801
7802 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7803 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7804 [Bodo Moeller]
7805
7806 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7807 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7808 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7809 [Bodo Moeller]
7810
7811 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7812 number generation fails.
7813 [Bodo Moeller]
7814
7815 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7816 [Bodo Moeller]
7817
7818 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7819 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7820
7821 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7822 [Ulf Möller]
7823
7824 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7825 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7826
7827 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7828 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7829
7830 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7831
7832 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7833 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7834 [Steve Henson]
7835
7836 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7837 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7838
7839 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7840 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7841 [Ulf Möller]
7842
7843 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7844 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7845 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7846 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7847 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7848 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7849
7850 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7851 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7852 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7853 for example.
7854 [Steve Henson]
7855
7856 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7857 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7858 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7859 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7860 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7861 counter, some don't.)
7862 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7863 counters or duplicate objects.
7864 [Steve Henson]
7865
7866 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7867 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7868 [Steve Henson]
7869
7870 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7871 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7872 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7873
7874 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7875 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7876 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7877 or -rand.
7878 [Ulf Möller]
7879
7880 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7881 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7882 [Steve Henson]
7883
7884 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7885 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7886 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7887 cipher list.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7891 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7892 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7893 [Steve Henson]
7894
7895 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7896 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7897 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7898 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7899 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7900 should work without changes.
7901 [Richard Levitte]
7902
7903 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7904 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7905 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7906 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7907 must be defined. E.g.,
7908 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7909 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7910 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7911 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7912
7913 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7914 record layer.
7915 [Bodo Moeller]
7916
7917 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7918 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7919 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7920 [Steve Henson]
7921
7922 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7923 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7924 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7925 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7926 [Steve Henson]
7927
7928 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7929 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7930 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7931 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7932 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7933 is prompted for as usual.
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7937 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7938 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7939 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7940
7941 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7942 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7943 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7944 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7945 [Steve Henson]
7946
7947 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7948 [Andy Polyakov]
7949
7950 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7951 of seed file.
7952 [Steve Henson]
7953
7954 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7955 [Bodo Moeller]
7956
7957 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7958 [Steve Henson]
7959
7960 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7961 bits.
7962 [Ulf Möller]
7963
7964 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7965 [Ulf Möller]
7966
7967 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7968 [Andy Polyakov]
7969
7970 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7971 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7972 [Ulf Möller]
7973
7974 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7975 options to produce them.
7976 [Steve Henson]
7977
7978 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7979 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7980 [Ulf Möller]
7981
7982 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7983 for p == 0.
7984 [Ulf Möller]
7985
7986 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7987 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7988 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7989 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7990 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7991 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7992 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7993 [Steve Henson]
7994
7995 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7996 [Steve Henson]
7997
7998 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7999 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8000 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8001 [Bodo Moeller]
8002
8003 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8004 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8005
8006 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8007 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8008 [Ulf Möller]
8009
8010 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8011 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8012 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8013 has already seen).
8014 [Bodo Moeller]
8015
8016 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8017 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8018
8019 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8020 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8021 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8022 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8023 generation becomes much faster.
8024
8025 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8026 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8027 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8028 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8029 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8030 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8031 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8032 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8033 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8034 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8035 [Bodo Moeller]
8036
8037 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8038 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8039 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8040 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8041 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8042 trial division stage.
8043 [Bodo Moeller]
8044
8045 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8046 as ASN1_TIME.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8050 [Steve Henson]
8051
8052 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8053 [Ulf Möller]
8054
8055 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8056 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8057 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8058 the comments.
8059 [Ulf Möller]
8060
8061 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8062 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8063 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8064 [Bodo Moeller]
8065
8066 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8067 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8068 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8069 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8070
8071 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8072 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8073 [Steve Henson]
8074
8075 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8076 [Ulf Möller]
8077
8078 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8079 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8080 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8081 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8082 [Ulf Möller]
8083
8084 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8085 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8086 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8087 [Ulf Möller]
8088
8089 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8090 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8091 (instead of parameters) in future.
8092 [Steve Henson]
8093
8094 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8095 when a new cipher list is set.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8099 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8100 wrong.
8101
8102 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8103 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8104 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8105
8106 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8107 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8108 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8109 an error is flagged.
8110
8111 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8112 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8113 the readability was also increased :-)
8114 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8115
8116 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8117 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8118 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8119 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8120 as the root CA.
8121 [Steve Henson]
8122
8123 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8124 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8125 [Steve Henson]
8126
8127 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8128 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8129 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8130 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8131 instead.
8132
8133 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8134 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8135 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8136 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8137 because they handle more complex structures.)
8138 [Steve Henson]
8139
8140 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8141 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8142 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8143 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8144
8145 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8146 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8147 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8148 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8149 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8150 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8151 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8152 [Ulf Möller]
8153
8154 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8155 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8156 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8157 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8158 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8159 [Bodo Moeller]
8160
8161 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8162 [Bodo Moeller]
8163
8164 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8165 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8166 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8167 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8168 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8169 to use this.
8170
8171 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8172 code.
8173 [Steve Henson]
8174
8175 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8176 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8177 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8178 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8179 [Steve Henson]
8180
8181 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8182 [Ulf Möller]
8183
8184 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8185 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8186 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8187 international characters are used.
8188
8189 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8190 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8191 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8192 in ASN1 order.
8193 [Steve Henson]
8194
8195 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8196 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8197 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8198 request.
8199
8200 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8201 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8202 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8203 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8204 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8205 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8206
8207 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8208 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8209 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8210 be handled by the string table functions.
8211
8212 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8213 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8214 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8215 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8216 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8217 types at all.
8218 [Steve Henson]
8219
8220 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8221 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8222 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8223 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8224 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8225
8226 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8227 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8228 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8229 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8230 [Bodo Moeller]
8231
8232 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8233 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8234 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8235 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8236 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8237 SHA1.
8238 [Andy Polyakov]
8239
8240 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8241 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8242 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8243 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8244 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8245 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8246 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8247 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8248
8249 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8250 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8251 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8252 [Steve Henson]
8253
8254 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8255 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8256 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8257 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8258 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8259 support to pkcs8 application.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8263 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8264 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8265 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8266 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8267 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8268 [Bodo Moeller]
8269
8270 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8271 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8272 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8273 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8274 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8275 consistency.
8276 [Bodo Moeller]
8277
8278 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8279 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8280 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8281 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8282 example.
8283 [Steve Henson]
8284
8285 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8286 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8287 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8288 and any application specific purposes.
8289
8290 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8291 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8292 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8293 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8294 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8295 if the certificate is self signed.
8296 [Steve Henson]
8297
8298 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8299 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8300 [Steve Henson]
8301
8302 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8303 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8304 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8305 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8306 [Steve Henson]
8307
8308 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8309 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8310 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8311 Update documentation.
8312 [Steve Henson]
8313
8314 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8315 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8316 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8317 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8318 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8319 [Steve Henson]
8320
8321 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8322 for details.
8323 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8324
8325 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8326 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8327 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8328 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8329 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8330 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8331 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8332 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8333 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8334 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8335
8336 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8337
8338 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8339 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8340 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8341 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8342 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8343
8344 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8345 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8346 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8347 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8348 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8349 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8350 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8351 request additional information:
8352 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8353 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8354
8355 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8356 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8357 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8358 options.
8359
8360 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8361 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8362
8363 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
8364 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8365 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
8366
8367 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8368 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8369
8370 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8371 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8372 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8373 algorithm.
8374 [Steve Henson]
8375
8376 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8377 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8378 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8379
8380 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8381 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8382 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8383 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8384 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8385 included in OpenSSL.
8386 [Steve Henson]
8387
8388 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8389 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8390 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8391 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8392 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8393 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8394 [Bodo Moeller]
8395
8396 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8397 PKCS12 structure.
8398 [Steve Henson]
8399
8400 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8401 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8402 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8403 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8404 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8405 structure.
8406 [Steve Henson]
8407
8408 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8409 need initialising.
8410 [Steve Henson]
8411
8412 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8413 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8414 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8415 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8416 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8417 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8418 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8419 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8420 be maintained manually.
8421
8422 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8423 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8424 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8425 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8426 work because people forget to call this function]
8427 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8428 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8429 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8430 [Steve Henson]
8431
8432 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8433 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8434 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8435 should be discouraged from doing it.
8436 [Ben Laurie]
8437
8438 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8439 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8440 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8441 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8442 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8443 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8444 [Steve Henson]
8445
8446 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8447 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8448 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8449
8450 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8451 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8452 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8453
8454 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8455 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8456 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8457 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8458 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8459 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8460
8461 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8462 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8463 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8464
8465 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8466 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8467 and vice versa.
8468
8469 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8470 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8471 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8472 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8473 [Steve Henson]
8474
8475 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477
8478 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8479 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8480 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8481 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8482 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8483 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8484 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8485 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8486 keys so we should be OK.
8487
8488 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8489 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8490 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8491 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8492 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8493 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8494 stay in the name of compatibility.
8495
8496 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8497 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8498 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8499
8500 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8501 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8502 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8503 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8504 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8505 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8506 supplied key).
8507 [Steve Henson]
8508
8509 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8510 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8511 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8512 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8513 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8514 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8515 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8516 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8517 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8518 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8519 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8520 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8521 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8522 [Steve Henson]
8523
8524 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8525 [Steve Henson]
8526
8527 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8528 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8529 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8530 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8531 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8532 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8533 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8534 openssl verify ss.pem
8535 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8536 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8537 is OK.
8538 [Steve Henson]
8539
8540 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8541 (and add it to external session representation).
8542 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8543 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8544 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8545 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8546 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8547 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8548 security holes.
8549 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8550
8551 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8552 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8553 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8554 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8555
8556 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8557 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8558 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8559 [Steve Henson]
8560
8561 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8562 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8563 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8564 code.
8565 [Steve Henson]
8566
8567 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8568 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8569 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8570
8571 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8572 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8573 certificate auxiliary information.
8574 [Steve Henson]
8575
8576 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8577 the 'enc' command.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8581 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8582 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8583 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8584 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8585 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8586 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8587 [Richard Levitte]
8588
8589 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8590 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8591 [Steve Henson]
8592
8593 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8594 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8595 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8596 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8597 [Steve Henson]
8598
8599 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8600 [Steve Henson]
8601
8602 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8603 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8607 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8608 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8609 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8610 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8611 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8612 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8613 using the new 'x509' options.
8614
8615 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8616 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8617 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8618 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8619 for all purposes.
8620 [Steve Henson]
8621
8622 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8623 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8624 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8625 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8626 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8627 [Mark Cox]
8628
8629 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8630 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8631 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8632 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8633 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8634 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8635 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8636 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8637 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8638 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8639 [Steve Henson]
8640
8641 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8642 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8643 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8644 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8645 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8646 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8647 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8648 [Steve Henson]
8649
8650 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8651 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8652 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8653 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8654 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8655 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8656 openssl.cnf for more info.
8657 [Steve Henson]
8658
8659 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8660 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8661 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8662 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8663 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8664 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8665 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8666 md should be large enough anyway.
8667 [Bodo Moeller]
8668
8669 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8670 for handling the random seed file.
8671
8672 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8673 ca,
8674 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8675 s_client,
8676 s_server,
8677 x509 (when signing).
8678 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8679 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8680 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8681
8682 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8683 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8684 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8685 that support '-rand'.
8686 [Bodo Moeller]
8687
8688 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8689 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8690 [Bodo Moeller]
8691
8692 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8693 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8694 [Bill Perry]
8695
8696 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8697 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8698 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8699 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8700 is suitable.
8701 [Steve Henson]
8702
8703 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8704 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8705 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8706 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8707 [Steve Henson]
8708
8709 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8710 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8711 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8712 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8713 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8714 print out all the purposes.
8715 [Steve Henson]
8716
8717 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8718 functions.
8719 [Steve Henson]
8720
8721 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8722 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8723 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8724 single function call.
8725 [Steve Henson]
8726
8727 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8728 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8729 [Andy Polyakov]
8730
8731 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8732 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8733 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8734 [Steve Henson]
8735
8736 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8737 when producing the local key id.
8738 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8739
8740 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8741 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8742 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8743 "server.pem".
8744 [Steve Henson]
8745
8746 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8747 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8748 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8749 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8750 [Steve Henson]
8751
8752 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8753 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8754 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8755 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8756
8757 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8758 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8759 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8760 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8761
8762 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8763 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8764 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8765 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8766 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8767 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8768 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8769 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8770 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8771 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8772 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8773 trivial: move one line.
8774 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8775
8776 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8777 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8778 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8779 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8780 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8781 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8782 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8783 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8784 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8785 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8786 with an event loop for example.
8787 [Steve Henson]
8788
8789 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8790 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8791 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8792 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8793 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8794 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8795 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8796 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8797 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8798 [Steve Henson]
8799
8800 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8801 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8802 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8803 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8804 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8805 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8806 [Steve Henson]
8807
8808 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8809 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8810 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8811 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8812
8813 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8814 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8815 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8816 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8817 key generation.
8818 [Steve Henson]
8819
8820 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8821 (still largely untested)
8822 [Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8825 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8826 [Steve Henson]
8827
8828 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8829 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8830 [Steve Henson]
8831
8832 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8833 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8834 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8835 [Bodo Moeller]
8836
8837 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8838 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8839 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8840 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8841 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8842 [Steve Henson]
8843
8844 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8845 [Andy Polyakov]
8846
8847 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8848 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8849 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8850 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8851 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8852 in ca.
8853 [Steve Henson]
8854
8855 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8856 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8857 1.OU="Unit name 1"
8858 2.OU="Unit name 2"
8859 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8860 [Steve Henson]
8861
8862 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8863 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8864 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8865 are otherwise ignored at present.
8866 [Steve Henson]
8867
8868 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8869 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8870 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8871 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8872 copied until the next read.
8873 [Steve Henson]
8874
8875 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8876 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8877 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8878 [Steve Henson]
8879
8880 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8881 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8882 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8883 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8884 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8885 associated functions.
8886 [Steve Henson]
8887
8888 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8889 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8890 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8891 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8892 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8893 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8894 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8895 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8896 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8897 memory BIOs.
8898 [Steve Henson]
8899
8900 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8901 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8902 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8903 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8904 [Bodo Moeller]
8905
8906 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8907 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8908 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8909 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8910 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8911 functionality.
8912 [Steve Henson]
8913
8914 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8915 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8916 under Win32.
8917 [Steve Henson]
8918
8919 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8920 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8921 extensions to be obtained and added.
8922 [Steve Henson]
8923
8924 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8925 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8926 [Bodo Moeller]
8927
8928 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8929
8930 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8931 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8932
8933 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8934 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8935
8936 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8937 program.
8938 [Steve Henson]
8939
8940 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8941 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8942 DH parameters contain its length).
8943
8944 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8945 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8946 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8947 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8948 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8949 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8950 utter importance to use
8951 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8952 or
8953 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8954 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8955 attacks may become possible!
8956 [Bodo Moeller]
8957
8958 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8959 [Bodo Moeller]
8960
8961 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8962 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8963 [Steve Henson]
8964
8965 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8966 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8967 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8968 or long name.
8969 [Steve Henson]
8970
8971 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8972 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8973 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8974 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8975 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8976 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8977 private key operations.
8978 [Steve Henson]
8979
8980 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8981 [Andy Polyakov]
8982
8983 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8984 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8985 to
8986 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8987 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8988 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8989 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8990 the password callback is called.
8991 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8992
8993 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8994
8995 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8996 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8997 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8998 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8999 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9000 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9001 this will work.
9002
9003 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9004 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9005 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9006 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9007 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9008 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9009 [Bodo Moeller]
9010
9011 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9012 [Andy Polyakov]
9013
9014 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9015 delete an unused file.
9016 [Ulf Möller]
9017
9018 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9019 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9020 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9021 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9022 [Steve Henson]
9023
9024 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9025 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9026 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9027 of an error.
9028 [Bodo Moeller]
9029
9030 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9031 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9032 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9033
9034 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9035 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9036 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9037 comparison" warnings.
9038 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9039 [Steve Henson]
9040
9041 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9042 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9043 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9044 [Steve Henson]
9045
9046 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9047 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9048
9049 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9050 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9051
9052 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9053 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9054 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9055
9056 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9057 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9058 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9059 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9060 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9061 this bug.
9062 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9063
9064 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9065 The interface is as follows:
9066 Applications can use
9067 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9068 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9069 "off" is now the default.
9070 The library internally uses
9071 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9072 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9073 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9074
9075 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9076 even the default) are now avoided.
9077
9078 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9079 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9080 than just having a counter.
9081
9082 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9083
9084 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9085 extensions.
9086 [Bodo Moeller]
9087
9088 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9089 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9090 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9091 Initial "mode" flags are:
9092
9093 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9094 a single record has been written.
9095 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9096 retries use the same buffer location.
9097 (But all of the contents must be
9098 copied!)
9099 [Bodo Moeller]
9100
9101 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9102 worked.
9103
9104 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9105 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9106
9107 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9108 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9109 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9110 [Steve Henson]
9111
9112 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9113 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9114 test programs.
9115 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9116
9117 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9118 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9119 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9120 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9121 point to the end.
9122 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9123 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9124
9125 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9126 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9127 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9128 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9129 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9130 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9131 [Steve Henson]
9132
9133 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9134 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9135 necessary function names.
9136 [Steve Henson]
9137
9138 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9139 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9140 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9141 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9142 [Bodo Moeller]
9143
9144 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9145 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9146 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9147 [Steve Henson]
9148
9149 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9150 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9151 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9152 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9153 such programs?)
9154 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9155 need locks.
9156 [Bodo Moeller]
9157
9158 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9159 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9160 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9161 [Bodo Moeller]
9162
9163 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9164 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9165 appropriate.
9166 [Bodo Moeller]
9167
9168 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9169 for the encoded length.
9170 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9171
9172 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9173 [Steve Henson]
9174
9175 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9176 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9177 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9178 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9179 [Steve Henson]
9180
9181 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9182 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9184
9185 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9186 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9187 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9188 unusual formatting.
9189 [Steve Henson]
9190
9191 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9192 to use the new extension code.
9193 [Steve Henson]
9194
9195 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9196 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9197 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9198 constant.
9199 [Steve Henson]
9200
9201 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9202 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9203 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9204 [Bodo Moeller]
9205
9206 #if 0
9207 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9208 [Ben Laurie]
9209 #else
9210 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9211 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9212 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9213 #endif
9214
9215 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9216 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9217 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9218 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9219 [Ben Laurie]
9220
9221 *) DES library cleanups.
9222 [Ulf Möller]
9223
9224 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9225 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9226 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9227 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9228 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9229 of v2.0.
9230 [Steve Henson]
9231
9232 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9233 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9234 [Bodo Moeller]
9235
9236 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9237 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9238 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9239 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9240 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9241 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9242 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9243 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9244 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9245 [Steve Henson]
9246
9247 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9248 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9249 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9250 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9251 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9252 value doesn't matter.
9253 [Steve Henson]
9254
9255 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9256 support mutable.
9257 [Ben Laurie]
9258
9259 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9260 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9261 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9262 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9263
9264 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9265 [Ulf Möller]
9266
9267 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9268 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9269 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9270
9271 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9272 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9273
9274 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9275 [Ben Laurie]
9276
9277 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9278 [Ben Laurie]
9279
9280 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9281 [Ben Laurie]
9282
9283 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9284 [Bodo Moeller]
9285
9286
9287 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9288
9289 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9290
9291 *) Updated some demos.
9292 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9293
9294 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9295 [Wu Zhigang]
9296
9297 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9298 [Steve Henson]
9299
9300 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9301 [Steve Henson]
9302
9303 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9304 instead of using a fixed path.
9305 [Bodo Moeller]
9306
9307 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9308 [Andy Polyakov]
9309
9310 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9311 [Richard Levitte]
9312
9313
9314 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9315
9316 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9317 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9318 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9319
9320 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9321 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9322 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9323 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9324 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9325 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9326 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9327 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9328 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9329 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9330 [Steve Henson]
9331
9332 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9333 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9334 [Steve Henson]
9335
9336 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9337 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9338 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9339 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9340 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9341
9342 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9343 [Bodo Moeller]
9344
9345 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9346 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9347 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9348 [Steve Henson]
9349
9350 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9351 [Ben Laurie]
9352
9353 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9354 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9355 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9356 key elements as negative integers.
9357 [Steve Henson]
9358
9359 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9360 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9361
9362 *) VMS support.
9363 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9364
9365 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9366 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9367 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9368 [Steve Henson]
9369
9370 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9371 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9372 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9373 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9374 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9375 [Bodo Moeller]
9376
9377 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9378 [Ulf Möller]
9379
9380 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9381 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9382 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9383 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9384
9385 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9386 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9387 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9388
9389 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9390 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9391 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9392 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9393 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9394 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9395 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9396 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9397 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9398
9399 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9400 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9401 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9402 does not influence s as it used to.
9403
9404 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9405 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9406 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9407 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9408 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9409 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9410 [Bodo Moeller]
9411
9412 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9413 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9414 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9415 key type.
9416 [Steve Henson]
9417
9418 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9419 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9420 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9421 and 'x509').
9422 [Steve Henson]
9423
9424 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9425 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9426 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9427 extension option.
9428 [Steve Henson]
9429
9430 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9431 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9432 [Ben Laurie]
9433
9434 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9435 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9436
9437 *) Support Mingw32.
9438 [Ulf Möller]
9439
9440 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9441 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9442
9443 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9444 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9445
9446 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9447 [Ulf Möller]
9448
9449 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9450 [Anonymous]
9451
9452 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9453 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9454
9455 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9456 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9457 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9458 DER-encoded.)
9459 [Bodo Moeller]
9460
9461 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9462 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9463 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9464 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9465 now it really counts the depth.
9466 [Bodo Moeller]
9467
9468 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9469 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9470 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9471 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9472 didn't match the private key).
9473
9474 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9475 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9476 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9477 [Bodo Moeller]
9478
9479 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9480 [Ulf Möller]
9481
9482 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9483 David Harris.
9484 [Bodo Moeller]
9485
9486 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9487 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9488 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9489 [Bodo Moeller]
9490
9491 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9492 [Bodo Moeller]
9493
9494 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9495 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9496 such as /usr/local/bin.
9497 [Bodo Moeller]
9498
9499 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9500 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9501
9502 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9503 [Ulf Möller]
9504
9505 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9506 extension adding in x509 utility.
9507 [Steve Henson]
9508
9509 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9510 [Ulf Möller]
9511
9512 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9513 prototypes.
9514 [Steve Henson]
9515
9516 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9517 [Ulf Möller]
9518
9519 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9520 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9521 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9522 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9523 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9524 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9525 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9526 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9527 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9528 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9529 [Steve Henson]
9530
9531 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9532 [Bodo Moeller]
9533
9534 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9535 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9536 [Bodo Moeller]
9537
9538 *) Fix some race conditions.
9539 [Bodo Moeller]
9540
9541 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9542 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9543 [Steve Henson]
9544
9545 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9546 [Ulf Möller]
9547
9548 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9549 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9550 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9551 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9552
9553 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9554 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9555
9556 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9557 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9558 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9559
9560 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9561 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9562
9563 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9564 [Ulf Möller]
9565
9566 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9567 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9568
9569 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9570 [Ulf Möller]
9571
9572 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9573 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9574
9575 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9576 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9577 [Steve Henson]
9578
9579 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9580 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9581 [Ben Laurie]
9582
9583 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9584 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9585 [Steve Henson]
9586
9587 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9588 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9589 [Steve Henson]
9590
9591 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9592 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9593 [Steve Henson]
9594
9595 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9596 support typesafe stack.
9597 [Steve Henson]
9598
9599 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9600 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9601
9602 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9603 old X509V3 handling code.
9604 [Steve Henson]
9605
9606 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9607 [Ulf Möller]
9608
9609 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9610 [Bodo Moeller]
9611
9612 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9613 [Ben Laurie]
9614
9615 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9616 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9619 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9620 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9621 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9622 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9623 [Ben Laurie]
9624
9625 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9626 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9627 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9628 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9629 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9630
9631 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9632 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9633 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9635
9636 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9637 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9638 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9639 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9640
9641 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9642 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9643 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9644 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9645 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9646 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9647 [Bodo Moeller]
9648
9649 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9650 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9651 [Bodo Moeller]
9652
9653 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9654 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9655 [Ulf Möller]
9656
9657 *) Tweaks to Configure
9658 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9659
9660 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9661 yet...
9662 [Steve Henson]
9663
9664 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9665 [Ulf Möller]
9666
9667 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9668 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9669 [Ulf Möller]
9670
9671 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9672 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9673 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9674 [Bodo Moeller]
9675
9676 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9677 [Bodo Moeller]
9678
9679 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9680 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9681 [Steve Henson]
9682
9683 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9684 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9685 to library startup routines.
9686 [Steve Henson]
9687
9688 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9689 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9690 codes along the way.
9691 [Steve Henson]
9692
9693 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9694 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9695 objects to objects.h
9696 [Steve Henson]
9697
9698 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9699 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9700 [Steve Henson]
9701
9702 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9703 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9704
9705 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9706 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9707 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9708
9709 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9710 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9711 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9712
9713 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9714 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9715 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9716
9717
9718 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9719
9720 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9721 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9722 [Ben Laurie]
9723
9724 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9725 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9726 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9727 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9728 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9729
9730 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9731 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9732 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9733 document.
9734 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9735
9736 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9737 Malloc, Free.
9738 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9739
9740 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9741 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9742
9743 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9744 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9745 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9746 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9747
9748 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9749 [Ben Laurie]
9750
9751 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9752 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9753 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9754 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9755 [Steve Henson]
9756
9757 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9758 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9759 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9760 [Steve Henson]
9761
9762 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9763 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9764 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9765 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9766 installed as `perl').
9767 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9768
9769 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9770 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9771
9772 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9773 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9774 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9775 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9776 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9777 [Steve Henson]
9778
9779 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9780 [Ben Laurie]
9781
9782 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9783 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9784 is horrible: I feel ill....
9785 [Steve Henson]
9786
9787 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9788 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9789 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9790 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9791 [Steve Henson]
9792
9793 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9794 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9795
9796 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9797 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9798 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9799 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9800
9801 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9802 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9803 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9804 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9805 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9806 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9807 openssl_bio.xs.
9808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9809
9810 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9811 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9812
9813 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9814 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9815
9816 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9817 [Ben Laurie]
9818
9819 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9820 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9821 in CRLs.
9822 [Steve Henson]
9823
9824 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9825 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9826 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9827 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9828 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9829 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9830 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9831 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9832 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9833 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9834 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9835
9836 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9837 [Ben Laurie]
9838
9839 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9840 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9841 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9842 for linking it into DSOs.
9843 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9844
9845 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9846 Fixed.
9847 [Ben Laurie]
9848
9849 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9850 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9851 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9852 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9853 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9854 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9855
9856 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9857 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9858 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9859 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9860 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9861 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9863
9864 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9865 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9866 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9867 encryption.
9868 [Ben Laurie]
9869
9870 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9871 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9872 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9873 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9874 [Steve Henson]
9875
9876 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9877 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9878 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9879 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9880 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9881 field as blank.
9882 [Steve Henson]
9883
9884 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9885 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9886 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9887 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9888 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9889
9890 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9891 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9892 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9893
9894 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9895 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9896
9897 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9898 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9899 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9900 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9901 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9902 [Steve Henson]
9903
9904 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9905 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9906 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9907 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9908 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9909 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9910 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9911 [Ben Laurie]
9912
9913 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9914 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
9915 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9916 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9917 [Ben Laurie]
9918
9919 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9920 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9921
9922 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9923 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9924 [Steve Henson]
9925
9926 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9927 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9928 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9929 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9930 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9931 (e.g. s_server).
9932 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9933 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9934 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9935 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9936 no way to reconfigure them.
9937 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9938 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9939 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9940 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9941 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9942 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9943
9944 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9945 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9946 recognized by the users.
9947 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9948
9949 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9950 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9951 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9952 already masked variable.
9953 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9954
9955 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9956 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9957
9958 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9959 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9960 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9961 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9962
9963 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9964 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9965 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9966
9967 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9968 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9969 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9970 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9971 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9972 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9973 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9974 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9975 now, too.
9976 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9977
9978 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9979 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9980 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9981
9982 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9983 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9984 config file.
9985 [Steve Henson]
9986
9987 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9988 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9989
9990 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9991 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9992 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9993 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9994 [Ben Laurie]
9995
9996 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9997 [Steve Henson]
9998
9999 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10000 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10001
10002 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10003 [Ben Laurie]
10004
10005 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10006 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10007 [Steve Henson]
10008
10009 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10010 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10011 [Steve Henson]
10012
10013 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10014 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10015 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10016 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10017 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10018 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10019 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10020 Ben Laurie]
10021
10022 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10023 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10024
10025 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10026 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10027 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10028 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10029 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10030
10031 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10032 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10033 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10034 [Steve Henson]
10035
10036 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10037 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10038 an example.
10039 [Steve Henson]
10040
10041 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10042 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10043 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10044
10045 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10046 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10047 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10048 build instructions.
10049 [Steve Henson]
10050
10051 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10052 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10053 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10054 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10055 [Steve Henson]
10056
10057 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10058 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10059 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10060 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10061 [Ben Laurie]
10062
10063 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10064 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10065 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10066 so it wasn't spotted.
10067 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10068
10069 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10070 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10071 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10072 vectors if you have them.
10073 [Ben Laurie]
10074
10075 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10076 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10077 [Ben Laurie]
10078
10079 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10080 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10081 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10082 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10083 If you do a:
10084 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10085 it will update them.
10086 [Steve Henson]
10087
10088 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10089 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10090 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10091 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10092 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10093 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10094 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10096
10097 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10098 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10099 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10100 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10101 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10102 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10103 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10104 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10105 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10106 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10107
10108 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10109 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10110 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10111 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10112 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10113 [Steve Henson]
10114
10115 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10116 INTEGER code.
10117 [Steve Henson]
10118
10119 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10120 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10121
10122 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10123 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10124
10125 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10126 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10127 [Ben Laurie]
10128
10129 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10130 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10131
10132 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10133 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10134
10135 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10136 [Steve Henson]
10137
10138 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10139 few typos.
10140 [Steve Henson]
10141
10142 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10143 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10144 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10145 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10146
10147 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10148 [Steve Henson]
10149
10150 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10151 [Steve Henson]
10152
10153 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10154 [Steve Henson]
10155
10156 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10157 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10158 [Steve Henson]
10159
10160 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10161 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10162 CA extensions.
10163 [Steve Henson]
10164
10165 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10166 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10167 [Steve Henson]
10168
10169 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10170 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10171 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10172 [Steve Henson]
10173
10174 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10175 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10176 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10177 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10178 properly to be processed.
10179 [Steve Henson]
10180
10181 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10182 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10183 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10184 [Ben Laurie]
10185
10186 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10187 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10188
10189 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10190 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10191 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10192 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10193 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10194 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10195 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10196 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10197 or delete all the .err files.
10198 [Steve Henson]
10199
10200 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10201 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10202 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10203 to regenerate it if needed.
10204 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10205 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10206
10207 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10208 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10209
10210 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10211 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10212 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10213 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10214 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10215 [Steve Henson]
10216
10217 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10218 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10219
10220 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10221 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10222
10223 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10224 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10225 error, but didn't set one).
10226 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10227
10228 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10229 [Ben Laurie]
10230
10231 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10232 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10233 [Steve Henson]
10234
10235 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10236 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10237
10238 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10239 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10240 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10241 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10242 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10243 OID is not part of the table.
10244 [Steve Henson]
10245
10246 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10247 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10248 [Ben Laurie]
10249
10250 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10251 [Ben Laurie]
10252
10253 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10254 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10255 was "1234").
10256 [Steve Henson]
10257
10258 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10259 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10260
10261 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10262 NULL pointers.
10263 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10264
10265 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10266 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10267
10268 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10269 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10270
10271 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10272 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10273
10274 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10275 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10276 [Ben Laurie]
10277
10278 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10279 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10280 [Steve Henson]
10281
10282 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10283 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10284
10285 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10286 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10287
10288 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10289 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10290
10291 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10292 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10293
10294 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10295 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10296 unused in the certificate verification process.
10297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10298
10299 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10300 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10301 [Steve Henson]
10302
10303 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10304 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10305 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10306
10307 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10308 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10309 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10310 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10311 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10312
10313 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10314 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10315 [Steve Henson]
10316
10317 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10321 [Paul Sutton]
10322
10323 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10324 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10325
10326 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10327 [Ben Laurie]
10328
10329 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10330 [Ben Laurie]
10331
10332 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10333 [Ben Laurie]
10334
10335 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10336 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10337 other error libraries.
10338 [Steve Henson]
10339
10340 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10341 [Steve Henson]
10342
10343 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10344 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10345 be read in.
10346 [Steve Henson]
10347
10348 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10349 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10350 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10351 the new set of documenation files.
10352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10353
10354 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10355 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10356 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10357 number of arguments.
10358 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10359
10360 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10361 [Ben Laurie]
10362
10363 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10364 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10365 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10366
10367 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10368 [Ben Laurie]
10369
10370 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10371 nextstep
10372 ncr-scde
10373 unixware-2.0
10374 unixware-2.0-pentium
10375 sco5-cc.
10376 [Ben Laurie]
10377
10378 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10379 before they are needed.
10380 [Ben Laurie]
10381
10382 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10383 [Ben Laurie]
10384
10385
10386 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10387
10388 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10389 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10390 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10391
10392 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10393 [Paul Sutton]
10394
10395 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10396 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10397 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10398
10399 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10400 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10401 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10402
10403 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10404 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10405 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10406
10407 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10408 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10409
10410 *) Updated the README file.
10411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10412
10413 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10414 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10415 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10416
10417 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10418 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10420
10421 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10422 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10423 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10424 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10425 o removed obsolete TODO file
10426 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10427 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10428
10429 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10430 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10431 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10432 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10433 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10434 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10435 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10436
10437 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10438 [Mark J. Cox]
10439
10440 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10441 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10442 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10443 summer 1998.
10444 [The OpenSSL Project]
10445
10446
10447 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10448
10449 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10450 [Eric A. Young]
10451
10452 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10453 [Eric A. Young]
10454
10455 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10456 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10457 [Eric A. Young]
10458
10459 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10460 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10461 available).
10462 [Eric A. Young]
10463
10464 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10465 binary structures
10466 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10467
10468 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10469 [Eric A. Young]
10470
10471 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10472 [Eric A. Young]
10473
10474 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10475 [Eric A. Young]
10476
10477 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10478 [Eric A. Young]
10479
10480 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10481 [Eric A. Young]
10482
10483 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10484 [Eric A. Young]
10485
10486 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10487 [Eric A. Young]
10488
10489 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10490 [Eric A. Young]
10491
10492 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10493 [Eric A. Young]
10494
10495 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10496 [Eric A. Young]
10497
10498 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10499 [Eric A. Young]
10500
10501 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10502 [Eric A. Young]
10503
10504 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10505 [Eric A. Young]
10506
10507 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10508 [Eric A. Young]
10509
10510 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10511 [Eric A. Young]
10512
10513 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10514 [Eric A. Young]
10515
10516 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10517 [Eric A. Young]
10518
10519 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10520 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10521 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10522 [Eric A. Young]
10523
10524 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10525 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10526 [Eric A. Young]
10527
10528 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10529 [Eric A. Young]
10530
10531 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10532 [Eric A. Young]
10533
10534 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10535 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10536 [Eric A. Young]
10537
10538 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
