10 Changes between 1.1.1 and 3.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
11
12 *) Deprecated EVP_PKEY_decrypt_old(), please use EVP_PKEY_decrypt_init()
13 and EVP_PKEY_decrypt() instead.
14 Deprecated EVP_PKEY_encrypt_old(), please use EVP_PKEY_encrypt_init()
15 and EVP_PKEY_encrypt() instead.
16 [Richard Levitte]
17
18 *) Enhanced the documentation of EVP_PKEY_size(), EVP_PKEY_bits()
19 and EVP_PKEY_security_bits(). Especially EVP_PKEY_size() needed
20 a new formulation to include all the things it can be used for,
21 as well as words of caution.
22 [Richard Levitte]
23
24 *) All of the low level MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD160, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256,
25 SHA384, SHA512 and Whirlpool digest functions have been deprecated.
26 These include:
27 MD2, MD2_options, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4, MD4_Init,
28 MD4_Update, MD4_Final, MD4_Transform, MD5, MD5_Init, MD5_Update,
29 MD5_Final, MD5_Transform, MDC2, MDC2_Init, MDC2_Update, MDC2_Final,
30 RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160_Init, RIPEMD160_Update, RIPEMD160_Final,
31 RIPEMD160_Transform, SHA1_Init, SHA1_Update, SHA1_Final,
32 SHA1_Transform, SHA224_Init, SHA224_Update, SHA224_Final,
33 SHA224_Transform, SHA256_Init, SHA256_Update, SHA256_Final,
34 SHA256_Transform, SHA384, SHA384_Init, SHA384_Update, SHA384_Final,
35 SHA512, SHA512_Init, SHA512_Update, SHA512_Final, SHA512_Transform,
36 WHIRLPOOL, WHIRLPOOL_Init, WHIRLPOOL_Update, WHIRLPOOL_BitUpdate
37 and WHIRLPOOL_Final.
38 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
39 time. Instead applications should instead use the EVP_DigestInit_ex,
40 EVP_DigestUpdate(3) and EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3) functions.
41 [Paul Dale]
42
43 *) Corrected the documentation of the return values from the EVP_DigestSign*
44 set of functions. The documentation mentioned negative values for some
45 errors, but this was never the case, so the mention of negative values
46 was removed.
47
48 Code that followed the documentation and thereby check with something
49 like 'EVP_DigestSignInit(...) <= 0' will continue to work undisturbed.
50 [Richard Levitte]
51
52 *) All of the low level cipher functions have been deprecated including:
53 AES_options, AES_set_encrypt_key, AES_set_decrypt_key, AES_encrypt,
54 AES_decrypt, AES_ecb_encrypt, AES_cbc_encrypt, AES_cfb128_encrypt,
55 AES_cfb1_encrypt, AES_cfb8_encrypt, AES_ofb128_encrypt,
56 AES_wrap_key, AES_unwrap_key, BF_set_key, BF_encrypt, BF_decrypt,
57 BF_ecb_encrypt, BF_cbc_encrypt, BF_cfb64_encrypt, BF_ofb64_encrypt,
58 BF_options, Camellia_set_key, Camellia_encrypt, Camellia_decrypt,
59 Camellia_ecb_encrypt, Camellia_cbc_encrypt, Camellia_cfb128_encrypt,
60 Camellia_cfb1_encrypt, Camellia_cfb8_encrypt, Camellia_ofb128_encrypt,
61 Camellia_ctr128_encrypt, CAST_set_key, CAST_encrypt, CAST_decrypt,
62 CAST_ecb_encrypt, CAST_cbc_encrypt, CAST_cfb64_encrypt,
63 CAST_ofb64_encrypt, DES_options, DES_encrypt1, DES_encrypt2,
64 DES_encrypt3, DES_decrypt3, DES_cbc_encrypt, DES_ncbc_encrypt,
65 DES_pcbc_encrypt, DES_xcbc_encrypt, DES_cfb_encrypt, DES_cfb64_encrypt,
66 DES_ecb_encrypt, DES_ofb_encrypt, DES_ofb64_encrypt, DES_random_key,
67 DES_set_odd_parity, DES_check_key_parity, DES_is_weak_key, DES_set_key,
68 DES_key_sched, DES_set_key_checked, DES_set_key_unchecked,
69 DES_string_to_key, DES_string_to_2keys, DES_fixup_key_parity,
70 DES_ecb2_encrypt, DES_ede2_cbc_encrypt, DES_ede2_cfb64_encrypt,
71 DES_ede2_ofb64_encrypt, DES_ecb3_encrypt, DES_ede3_cbc_encrypt,
72 DES_ede3_cfb64_encrypt, DES_ede3_cfb_encrypt, DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt,
73 DES_cbc_cksum, DES_quad_cksum, IDEA_encrypt, IDEA_options,
74 IDEA_ecb_encrypt, IDEA_set_encrypt_key, IDEA_set_decrypt_key,
75 IDEA_cbc_encrypt, IDEA_cfb64_encrypt, IDEA_ofb64_encrypt, RC2_set_key,
76 RC2_encrypt, RC2_decrypt, RC2_ecb_encrypt, RC2_cbc_encrypt,
77 RC2_cfb64_encrypt, RC2_ofb64_encrypt, RC4, RC4_options, RC4_set_key,
78 RC5_32_set_key, RC5_32_encrypt, RC5_32_decrypt, RC5_32_ecb_encrypt,
79 RC5_32_cbc_encrypt, RC5_32_cfb64_encrypt, RC5_32_ofb64_encrypt,
80 SEED_set_key, SEED_encrypt, SEED_decrypt, SEED_ecb_encrypt,
81 SEED_cbc_encrypt, SEED_cfb128_encrypt and SEED_ofb128_encrypt.
82
83 Use of these low level functions has been informally discouraged for a long
84 time. Instead applications should use the high level EVP APIs, e.g.
85 EVP_EncryptInit_ex, EVP_EncryptUpdate, EVP_EncryptFinal_ex, and the
86 equivalently named decrypt functions.
87 [Matt Caswell and Paul Dale]
88
89 *) Removed include/openssl/opensslconf.h.in and replaced it with
90 include/openssl/configuration.h.in, which differs in not including
91 <openssl/macros.h>. A short header include/openssl/opensslconf.h
92 was added to include both.
93
94 This allows internal hacks where one might need to modify the set
95 of configured macros, for example this if deprecated symbols are
96 still supposed to be available internally:
97
98 #include <openssl/configuration.h>
99
100 #undef OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED
101 #define OPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED
102
103 #include <openssl/macros.h>
104
105 This should not be used by applications that use the exported
106 symbols, as that will lead to linking errors.
107 [Richard Levitte]
108
109 *) Fixed an an overflow bug in the x64_64 Montgomery squaring procedure
110 used in exponentiation with 512-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are
111 affected. Analysis suggests that attacks against 2-prime RSA1024,
112 3-prime RSA1536, and DSA1024 as a result of this defect would be very
113 difficult to perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH512
114 are considered just feasible. However, for an attack the target would
115 have to re-use the DH512 private key, which is not recommended anyway.
116 Also applications directly using the low level API BN_mod_exp may be
117 affected if they use BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
118 (CVE-2019-1551)
119 [Andy Polyakov]
120
121 *) Most memory-debug features have been deprecated, and the functionality
122 replaced with no-ops.
123 [Rich Salz]
124
125 *) Introduced a new method type and API, OSSL_SERIALIZER, to
126 represent generic serializers. An implementation is expected to
127 be able to serialize an object associated with a given name (such
128 as an algorithm name for an asymmetric key) into forms given by
129 implementation properties.
130
131 Serializers are primarily used from inside libcrypto, through
132 calls to functions like EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
133 PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() and similar.
134
135 Serializers are specified in such a way that they can be made to
136 directly handle the provider side portion of an object, if this
137 provider side part comes from the same provider as the serializer
138 itself, but can also be made to handle objects in parametrized
139 form (as an OSSL_PARAM array of data). This allows a provider to
140 offer generic serializers as a service for any other provider.
141 [Richard Levitte]
142
143 *) Added a .pragma directive to the syntax of configuration files, to
144 allow varying behavior in a supported and predictable manner.
145 Currently added pragma:
146
147 .pragma dollarid:on
148
149 This allows dollar signs to be a keyword character unless it's
150 followed by a opening brace or parenthesis. This is useful for
151 platforms where dollar signs are commonly used in names, such as
152 volume names and system directory names on VMS.
153 [Richard Levitte]
154
155 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY from user data. This
156 is effectively the same as creating a RSA, DH or DSA object and
157 then assigning them to an EVP_PKEY, but directly using algorithm
158 agnostic EVP functions. A benefit is that this should be future
159 proof for public key algorithms to come.
160 [Richard Levitte]
161
162 *) Change the interpretation of the '--api' configuration option to
163 mean that this is a desired API compatibility level with no
164 further meaning. The previous interpretation, that this would
165 also mean to remove all deprecated symbols up to and including
166 the given version, no requires that 'no-deprecated' is also used
167 in the configuration.
168
169 When building applications, the desired API compatibility level
170 can be set with the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT macro like before. For
171 API compatibility version below 3.0, the old style numerical
172 value is valid as before, such as -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L.
173 For version 3.0 and on, the value is expected to be the decimal
174 value calculated from the major and minor version like this:
175
176 MAJOR * 10000 + MINOR * 100
177
178 Examples:
179
180 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30000 For 3.0
181 -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=30200 For 3.2
182
183 To hide declarations that are deprecated up to and including the
184 given API compatibility level, -DOPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED must be
185 given when building the application as well.
186 [Richard Levitte]
187
188 *) Added the X509_LOOKUP_METHOD called X509_LOOKUP_store, to allow
189 access to certificate and CRL stores via URIs and OSSL_STORE
190 loaders.
191
192 This adds the following functions:
193
194 X509_LOOKUP_store()
195 X509_STORE_load_file()
196 X509_STORE_load_path()
197 X509_STORE_load_store()
198 SSL_add_store_cert_subjects_to_stack()
199 SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_store()
200 SSL_CTX_load_verify_file()
201 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir()
202 SSL_CTX_load_verify_store()
203
204 Also, the following functions are now deprecated:
205
206 - X509_STORE_load_locations() (use X509_STORE_load_file(),
207 X509_STORE_load_path() or X509_STORE_load_store() instead)
208 - SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() (use SSL_CTX_load_verify_file(),
209 SSL_CTX_load_verify_dir() or SSL_CTX_load_verify_store() instead)
210 [Richard Levitte]
211
212 *) Added a new method to gather entropy on VMS, based on SYS$GET_ENTROPY.
213 The presence of this system service is determined at run-time.
214 [Richard Levitte]
215
216 *) Added functionality to create an EVP_PKEY context based on data
217 for methods from providers. This takes an algorithm name and a
218 property query string and simply stores them, with the intent
219 that any operation that uses this context will use those strings
220 to fetch the needed methods implicitly, thereby making the port
221 of application written for pre-3.0 OpenSSL easier.
222 [Richard Levitte]
223
224 *) The undocumented function NCONF_WIN32() has been deprecated; for
225 conversion details see the HISTORY section of doc/man5/config.pod
226 [Rich Salz]
227
228 *) Introduced the new functions EVP_DigestSignInit_ex() and
229 EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex(). The macros EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
230 EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() have been converted to functions. See the man
231 pages for further details.
232 [Matt Caswell]
233
234 *) Most common options (such as -rand/-writerand, TLS version control, etc)
235 were refactored and point to newly-enhanced descriptions in openssl.pod
236 [Rich Salz]
237
238 *) Over two thousand fixes were made to the documentation, including:
239 adding missing command flags, better style conformance, documentation
240 of internals, etc.
241 [Rich Salz, Richard Levitte]
242
243 *) s390x assembly pack: add hardware-support for P-256, P-384, P-521,
244 X25519, X448, Ed25519 and Ed448.
245 [Patrick Steuer]
246
247 *) Print all values for a PKCS#12 attribute with 'openssl pkcs12', not just
248 the first value.
249 [Jon Spillett]
250
251 *) Deprecated the public definition of ERR_STATE as well as the function
252 ERR_get_state(). This is done in preparation of making ERR_STATE an
253 opaque type.
254 [Richard Levitte]
255
256 *) Added ERR functionality to give callers access to the stored function
257 names that have replaced the older function code based functions.
258
259 New functions are ERR_get_error_func(), ERR_peek_error_func(),
260 ERR_peek_last_error_func(), ERR_get_error_data(), ERR_peek_error_data(),
261 ERR_peek_last_error_data(), ERR_get_error_all(), ERR_peek_error_all()
262 and ERR_peek_last_error_all().
263
264 These functions have become deprecated: ERR_get_error_line_data(),
265 ERR_peek_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() and
266 ERR_func_error_string().
267 [Richard Levitte]
268
269 *) Extended testing to be verbose for failing tests only. The make variables
270 VERBOSE_FAILURE or VF can be used to enable this:
271
272 $ make VF=1 test # Unix
273 $ mms /macro=(VF=1) test ! OpenVMS
274 $ nmake VF=1 test # Windows
275
276 [Richard Levitte]
277
278 *) For built-in EC curves, ensure an EC_GROUP built from the curve name is
279 used even when parsing explicit parameters, when loading a serialized key
280 or calling `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecpkparameters()`/
281 `EC_GROUP_new_from_ecparameters()`.
282 This prevents bypass of security hardening and performance gains,
283 especially for curves with specialized EC_METHODs.
284 By default, if a key encoded with explicit parameters is loaded and later
285 serialized, the output is still encoded with explicit parameters, even if
286 internally a "named" EC_GROUP is used for computation.
287 [Nicola Tuveri]
288
289 *) Compute ECC cofactors if not provided during EC_GROUP construction. Before
290 this change, EC_GROUP_set_generator would accept order and/or cofactor as
291 NULL. After this change, only the cofactor parameter can be NULL. It also
292 does some minimal sanity checks on the passed order.
293 (CVE-2019-1547)
294 [Billy Bob Brumley]
295
296 *) Fixed a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey.
297 An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
298 second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
299 recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
300 encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
301 decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
302 used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
303 As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
304 key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
305 certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
306 The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
307 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
308 [Bernd Edlinger]
309
310 *) Early start up entropy quality from the DEVRANDOM seed source has been
311 improved for older Linux systems. The RAND subsystem will wait for
312 /dev/random to be producing output before seeding from /dev/urandom.
313 The seeded state is stored for future library initialisations using
314 a system global shared memory segment. The shared memory identifier
315 can be configured by defining OPENSSL_RAND_SEED_DEVRANDOM_SHM_ID to
316 the desired value. The default identifier is 114.
317 [Paul Dale]
318
319 *) Revised BN_generate_prime_ex to not avoid factors 2..17863 in p-1
320 when primes for RSA keys are computed.
321 Since we previously always generated primes == 2 (mod 3) for RSA keys,
322 the 2-prime and 3-prime RSA modules were easy to distinguish, since
323 N = p*q = 1 (mod 3), but N = p*q*r = 2 (mod 3). Therefore fingerprinting
324 2-prime vs. 3-prime RSA keys was possible by computing N mod 3.
325 This avoids possible fingerprinting of newly generated RSA modules.
326 [Bernd Edlinger]
327
328 *) Correct the extended master secret constant on EBCDIC systems. Without this
329 fix TLS connections between an EBCDIC system and a non-EBCDIC system that
330 negotiate EMS will fail. Unfortunately this also means that TLS connections
331 between EBCDIC systems with this fix, and EBCDIC systems without this
332 fix will fail if they negotiate EMS.
333 [Matt Caswell]
334
335 *) Changed the library initialisation so that the config file is now loaded
336 by default. This was already the case for libssl. It now occurs for both
337 libcrypto and libssl. Use the OPENSSL_INIT_NO_LOAD_CONFIG option to
338 OPENSSL_init_crypto() to suppress automatic loading of a config file.
339 [Matt Caswell]
340
341 *) Introduced new error raising macros, ERR_raise() and ERR_raise_data(),
342 where the former acts as a replacement for ERR_put_error(), and the
343 latter replaces the combination ERR_put_error()+ERR_add_error_data().
344 ERR_raise_data() adds more flexibility by taking a format string and
345 an arbitrary number of arguments following it, to be processed with
346 BIO_snprintf().
347 [Richard Levitte]
348
349 *) Introduced a new function, OSSL_PROVIDER_available(), which can be used
350 to check if a named provider is loaded and available. When called, it
351 will also activate all fallback providers if such are still present.
352 [Richard Levitte]
353
354 *) Enforce a minimum DH modulus size of 512 bits.
355 [Bernd Edlinger]
356
357 *) Changed DH parameters to generate the order q subgroup instead of 2q.
358 Previously generated DH parameters are still accepted by DH_check
359 but DH_generate_key works around that by clearing bit 0 of the
360 private key for those. This avoids leaking bit 0 of the private key.
361 [Bernd Edlinger]
362
363 *) Significantly reduce secure memory usage by the randomness pools.
364 [Paul Dale]
365
366 *) {CRYPTO,OPENSSL}_mem_debug_{push,pop} are now no-ops and have been
367 deprecated.
368 [Rich Salz]
369
370 *) A new type, EVP_KEYEXCH, has been introduced to represent key exchange
371 algorithms. An implementation of a key exchange algorithm can be obtained
372 by using the function EVP_KEYEXCH_fetch(). An EVP_KEYEXCH algorithm can be
373 used in a call to EVP_PKEY_derive_init_ex() which works in a similar way to
374 the older EVP_PKEY_derive_init() function. See the man pages for the new
375 functions for further details.
376 [Matt Caswell]
377
378 *) The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_dh_pad() macro has now been converted to a function.
379 [Matt Caswell]
380
381 *) Removed the function names from error messages and deprecated the
382 xxx_F_xxx define's.
383
384 *) Removed NextStep support and the macro OPENSSL_UNISTD
385 [Rich Salz]
386
387 *) Removed DES_check_key. Also removed OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL,
388 OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF, OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL.
389 Also removed "export var as function" capability; we do not export
390 variables, only functions.
391 [Rich Salz]
392
393 *) RC5_32_set_key has been changed to return an int type, with 0 indicating
394 an error and 1 indicating success. In previous versions of OpenSSL this
395 was a void type. If a key was set longer than the maximum possible this
396 would crash.
397 [Matt Caswell]
398
399 *) Support SM2 signing and verification schemes with X509 certificate.
400 [Paul Yang]
401
402 *) Use SHA256 as the default digest for TS query in the ts app.
403 [Tomas Mraz]
404
405 *) Change PBKDF2 to conform to SP800-132 instead of the older PKCS5 RFC2898.
406 This checks that the salt length is at least 128 bits, the derived key
407 length is at least 112 bits, and that the iteration count is at least 1000.
408 For backwards compatibility these checks are disabled by default in the
409 default provider, but are enabled by default in the fips provider.
410 To enable or disable these checks use the control
411 EVP_KDF_CTRL_SET_PBKDF2_PKCS5_MODE.
412 [Shane Lontis]
413
414 *) Default cipher lists/suites are now available via a function, the
415 #defines are deprecated.
416 [Todd Short]
417
418 *) Add target VC-WIN32-UWP, VC-WIN64A-UWP, VC-WIN32-ARM-UWP and
419 VC-WIN64-ARM-UWP in Windows OneCore target for making building libraries
420 for Windows Store apps easier. Also, the "no-uplink" option has been added.
421 [Kenji Mouri]
422
423 *) Join the directories crypto/x509 and crypto/x509v3
424 [Richard Levitte]
425
426 *) Change the default RSA, DSA and DH size to 2048 bit instead of 1024.
427 This changes the size when using the genpkey app when no size is given. It
428 fixes an omission in earlier changes that changed all RSA, DSA and DH
429 generation apps to use 2048 bits by default.
430 [Kurt Roeckx]
431
432 *) Added command 'openssl kdf' that uses the EVP_KDF API.
433 [Shane Lontis]
434
435 *) Added command 'openssl mac' that uses the EVP_MAC API.
436 [Shane Lontis]
437
438 *) Added OPENSSL_info() to get diverse built-in OpenSSL data, such
439 as default directories. Also added the command 'openssl info'
440 for scripting purposes.
441 [Richard Levitte]
442
443 *) The functions AES_ige_encrypt() and AES_bi_ige_encrypt() have been
444 deprecated. These undocumented functions were never integrated into the EVP
445 layer and implement the AES Infinite Garble Extension (IGE) mode and AES
446 Bi-directional IGE mode. These modes were never formally standardised and
447 usage of these functions is believed to be very small. In particular
448 AES_bi_ige_encrypt() has a known bug. It accepts 2 AES keys, but only one
449 is ever used. The security implications are believed to be minimal, but
450 this issue was never fixed for backwards compatibility reasons. New code
451 should not use these modes.
452 [Matt Caswell]
453
454 *) Add prediction resistance to the DRBG reseeding process.
455 [Paul Dale]
456
457 *) Limit the number of blocks in a data unit for AES-XTS to 2^20 as
458 mandated by IEEE Std 1619-2018.
459 [Paul Dale]
460
461 *) Added newline escaping functionality to a filename when using openssl dgst.
462 This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
463 checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
464 [Matt Eaton, Richard Levitte, and Paul Dale]
465
466 *) Removed the heartbeat message in DTLS feature, as it has very
467 little usage and doesn't seem to fulfill a valuable purpose.
468 The configuration option is now deprecated.
469 [Richard Levitte]
470
471 *) Changed the output of 'openssl {digestname} < file' to display the
472 digest name in its output.
473 [Richard Levitte]
474
475 *) Added a new generic trace API which provides support for enabling
476 instrumentation through trace output. This feature is mainly intended
477 as an aid for developers and is disabled by default. To utilize it,
478 OpenSSL needs to be configured with the `enable-trace` option.
479
480 If the tracing API is enabled, the application can activate trace output
481 by registering BIOs as trace channels for a number of tracing and debugging
482 categories.
483
484 The 'openssl' application has been expanded to enable any of the types
485 available via environment variables defined by the user, and serves as
486 one possible example on how to use this functionality.
487 [Richard Levitte & Matthias St. Pierre]
488
489 *) Added build tests for C++. These are generated files that only do one
490 thing, to include one public OpenSSL head file each. This tests that
491 the public header files can be usefully included in a C++ application.
492
493 This test isn't enabled by default. It can be enabled with the option
494 'enable-buildtest-c++'.
495 [Richard Levitte]
496
497 *) Add Single Step KDF (EVP_KDF_SS) to EVP_KDF.
498 [Shane Lontis]
499
500 *) Add KMAC to EVP_MAC.
501 [Shane Lontis]
502
503 *) Added property based algorithm implementation selection framework to
504 the core.
505 [Paul Dale]
506
507 *) Added SCA hardening for modular field inversion in EC_GROUP through
508 a new dedicated field_inv() pointer in EC_METHOD.
509 This also addresses a leakage affecting conversions from projective
510 to affine coordinates.
511 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
512
513 *) Added EVP_KDF, an EVP layer KDF API, to simplify adding KDF and PRF
514 implementations. This includes an EVP_PKEY to EVP_KDF bridge for
515 those algorithms that were already supported through the EVP_PKEY API
516 (scrypt, TLS1 PRF and HKDF). The low-level KDF functions for PBKDF2
517 and scrypt are now wrappers that call EVP_KDF.
518 [David Makepeace]
519
520 *) Build devcrypto engine as a dynamic engine.
521 [Eneas U de Queiroz]
522
523 *) Add keyed BLAKE2 to EVP_MAC.
524 [Antoine Salon]
525
526 *) Fix a bug in the computation of the endpoint-pair shared secret used
527 by DTLS over SCTP. This breaks interoperability with older versions
528 of OpenSSL like OpenSSL 1.1.0 and OpenSSL 1.0.2. There is a runtime
529 switch SSL_MODE_DTLS_SCTP_LABEL_LENGTH_BUG (off by default) enabling
530 interoperability with such broken implementations. However, enabling
531 this switch breaks interoperability with correct implementations.
532
533 *) Fix a use after free bug in d2i_X509_PUBKEY when overwriting a
534 re-used X509_PUBKEY object if the second PUBKEY is malformed.
535 [Bernd Edlinger]
536
537 *) Move strictness check from EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() to EVP_PKEY_asn1_add0().
538 [Richard Levitte]
539
540 *) Change the license to the Apache License v2.0.
541 [Richard Levitte]
542
543 *) Switch to a new version scheme using three numbers MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
544
545 o Major releases (indicated by incrementing the MAJOR release number)
546 may introduce incompatible API/ABI changes.
547 o Minor releases (indicated by incrementing the MINOR release number)
548 may introduce new features but retain API/ABI compatibility.
549 o Patch releases (indicated by incrementing the PATCH number)
550 are intended for bug fixes and other improvements of existing
551 features only (like improving performance or adding documentation)
552 and retain API/ABI compatibility.
553 [Richard Levitte]
554
555 *) Add support for RFC5297 SIV mode (siv128), including AES-SIV.
556 [Todd Short]
557
558 *) Remove the 'dist' target and add a tarball building script. The
559 'dist' target has fallen out of use, and it shouldn't be
560 necessary to configure just to create a source distribution.
561 [Richard Levitte]
562
563 *) Recreate the OS390-Unix config target. It no longer relies on a
564 special script like it did for OpenSSL pre-1.1.0.
565 [Richard Levitte]
566
567 *) Instead of having the source directories listed in Configure, add
568 a 'build.info' keyword SUBDIRS to indicate what sub-directories to
569 look into.
570 [Richard Levitte]
571
572 *) Add GMAC to EVP_MAC.
573 [Paul Dale]
574
575 *) Ported the HMAC, CMAC and SipHash EVP_PKEY_METHODs to EVP_MAC.
576 [Richard Levitte]
577
578 *) Added EVP_MAC, an EVP layer MAC API, to simplify adding MAC
579 implementations. This includes a generic EVP_PKEY to EVP_MAC bridge,
580 to facilitate the continued use of MACs through raw private keys in
581 functionality such as EVP_DigestSign* and EVP_DigestVerify*.
582 [Richard Levitte]
583
584 *) Deprecate ECDH_KDF_X9_62() and mark its replacement as internal. Users
585 should use the EVP interface instead (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_ecdh_kdf_type).
586 [Antoine Salon]
587
588 *) Added EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_63 and ecdh_KDF_X9_63() as replacements for
589 the EVP_PKEY_ECDH_KDF_X9_62 KDF type and ECDH_KDF_X9_62(). The old names
590 are retained for backwards compatibility.
591 [Antoine Salon]
592
593 *) AES-XTS mode now enforces that its two keys are different to mitigate
594 the attacked described in "Efficient Instantiations of Tweakable
595 Blockciphers and Refinements to Modes OCB and PMAC" by Phillip Rogaway.
596 Details of this attack can be obtained from:
597 http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/%7Erogaway/papers/offsets.pdf
598 [Paul Dale]
599
600 *) Rename the object files, i.e. give them other names than in previous
601 versions. Their names now include the name of the final product, as
602 well as its type mnemonic (bin, lib, shlib).
603 [Richard Levitte]
604
605 *) Added new option for 'openssl list', '-objects', which will display the
606 list of built in objects, i.e. OIDs with names.
607 [Richard Levitte]
608
609 *) Added support for Linux Kernel TLS data-path. The Linux Kernel data-path
610 improves application performance by removing data copies and providing
611 applications with zero-copy system calls such as sendfile and splice.
612 [Boris Pismenny]
613
614 Changes between 1.1.1a and 1.1.1b [xx XXX xxxx]
615
616 *) Change the info callback signals for the start and end of a post-handshake
617 message exchange in TLSv1.3. In 1.1.1/1.1.1a we used SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_START
618 and SSL_CB_HANDSHAKE_DONE. Experience has shown that many applications get
619 confused by this and assume that a TLSv1.2 renegotiation has started. This
620 can break KeyUpdate handling. Instead we no longer signal the start and end
621 of a post handshake message exchange (although the messages themselves are
622 still signalled). This could break some applications that were expecting
623 the old signals. However without this KeyUpdate is not usable for many
624 applications.
625 [Matt Caswell]
626
627 Changes between 1.1.1 and 1.1.1a [20 Nov 2018]
628
629 *) Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation
630
631 The OpenSSL DSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
632 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
633 algorithm to recover the private key.
634
635 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 16th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
636 (CVE-2018-0734)
637 [Paul Dale]
638
639 *) Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation
640
641 The OpenSSL ECDSA signature algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to a
642 timing side channel attack. An attacker could use variations in the signing
643 algorithm to recover the private key.
644
645 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 25th October 2018 by Samuel Weiser.
646 (CVE-2018-0735)
647 [Paul Dale]
648
649 *) Fixed the issue that RAND_add()/RAND_seed() silently discards random input
650 if its length exceeds 4096 bytes. The limit has been raised to a buffer size
651 of two gigabytes and the error handling improved.
652
653 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Dr. Falko Strenzke. It has been
654 categorized as a normal bug, not a security issue, because the DRBG reseeds
655 automatically and is fully functional even without additional randomness
656 provided by the application.
657
658 Changes between 1.1.0i and 1.1.1 [11 Sep 2018]
659
660 *) Add a new ClientHello callback. Provides a callback interface that gives
661 the application the ability to adjust the nascent SSL object at the
662 earliest stage of ClientHello processing, immediately after extensions have
663 been collected but before they have been processed. In particular, this
664 callback can adjust the supported TLS versions in response to the contents
665 of the ClientHello
666 [Benjamin Kaduk]
667
668 *) Add SM2 base algorithm support.
669 [Jack Lloyd]
670
671 *) s390x assembly pack: add (improved) hardware-support for the following
672 cryptographic primitives: sha3, shake, aes-gcm, aes-ccm, aes-ctr, aes-ofb,
673 aes-cfb/cfb8, aes-ecb.
674 [Patrick Steuer]
675
676 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
677 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
678 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
679 [Richard Levitte]
680
681 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
682 step for prime curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
683 differential addition-and-doubling in homogeneous projective coordinates
684 from Izu-Takagi "A fast parallel elliptic curve multiplication resistant
685 against side channel attacks" and Brier-Joye "Weierstrass Elliptic Curves
686 and Side-Channel Attacks" Eq. (8) for y-coordinate recovery, modified
687 to work in projective coordinates.
688 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri]
689
690 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
691 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
692 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
693 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
694 to 2^-128.
695 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
696
697 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
698 [Kurt Roeckx]
699
700 *) The 'tsget' script is renamed to 'tsget.pl', to avoid confusion when
701 moving between systems, and to avoid confusion when a Windows build is
702 done with mingw vs with MSVC. For POSIX installs, there's still a
703 symlink or copy named 'tsget' to avoid that confusion as well.
704 [Richard Levitte]
705
706 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
707 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
708 [Andy Polyakov]
709
710 *) Use the new ec_scalar_mul_ladder scaffold to implement a specialized ladder
711 step for binary curves. The new implementation is based on formulae from
712 differential addition-and-doubling in mixed Lopez-Dahab projective
713 coordinates, modified to independently blind the operands.
714 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
715
716 *) Add a scaffold to optionally enhance the Montgomery ladder implementation
717 for `ec_scalar_mul_ladder` (formerly `ec_mul_consttime`) allowing
718 EC_METHODs to implement their own specialized "ladder step", to take
719 advantage of more favorable coordinate systems or more efficient
720 differential addition-and-doubling algorithms.
721 [Billy Bob Brumley, Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri]
722
723 *) Modified the random device based seed sources to keep the relevant
724 file descriptors open rather than reopening them on each access.
725 This allows such sources to operate in a chroot() jail without
726 the associated device nodes being available. This behaviour can be
727 controlled using RAND_keep_random_devices_open().
728 [Paul Dale]
729
730 *) Numerous side-channel attack mitigations have been applied. This may have
731 performance impacts for some algorithms for the benefit of improved
732 security. Specific changes are noted in this change log by their respective
733 authors.
734 [Matt Caswell]
735
736 *) AIX shared library support overhaul. Switch to AIX "natural" way of
737 handling shared libraries, which means collecting shared objects of
738 different versions and bitnesses in one common archive. This allows to
739 mitigate conflict between 1.0 and 1.1 side-by-side installations. It
740 doesn't affect the way 3rd party applications are linked, only how
741 multi-version installation is managed.
742 [Andy Polyakov]
743
744 *) Make ec_group_do_inverse_ord() more robust and available to other
745 EC cryptosystems, so that irrespective of BN_FLG_CONSTTIME, SCA
746 mitigations are applied to the fallback BN_mod_inverse().
747 When using this function rather than BN_mod_inverse() directly, new
748 EC cryptosystem implementations are then safer-by-default.
749 [Billy Bob Brumley]
750
751 *) Add coordinate blinding for EC_POINT and implement projective
752 coordinate blinding for generic prime curves as a countermeasure to
753 chosen point SCA attacks.
754 [Sohaib ul Hassan, Nicola Tuveri, Billy Bob Brumley]
755
756 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
757 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
758 [Matt Caswell]
759
760 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
761 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
762 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
763 [Matt Caswell]
764
765 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
766 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
767 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
768 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
769 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
770 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
771 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
772 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
773 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
774 [Kurt Roeckx]
775
776 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
777 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
778 [Richard Levitte]
779
780 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
781 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
782 [Billy Bob Brumley]
783
784 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
785 binary and prime elliptic curves.
786 [Billy Bob Brumley]
787
788 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
789 constant time fixed point multiplication.
790 [Billy Bob Brumley]
791
792 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
793 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
794 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
795 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
796 ECDH derive operations).
797 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
798 Sohaib ul Hassan]
799
800 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
801 [Rich Salz]
802
803 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
804 randomness from the system.
805 [Matthias St. Pierre]
806
807 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
808 [Richard Levitte]
809
810 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
811 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
812 [Matt Caswell]
813
814 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
815 [Matt Caswell]
816
817 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
818 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
819
820 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
821 [Richard Levitte]
822
823 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
824 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
825 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
826 [Matt Caswell]
827
828 *) Memory allocation failures consistently add an error to the error
829 stack.
830 [Rich Salz]
831
832 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
833 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
834 [Bernd Edlinger]
835
836 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
837 [Matt Caswell]
838
839 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
840 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
841 [Matthias St. Pierre]
842
843 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
844 for the license change).
845 [Rich Salz]
846
847 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
848 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
849 [Matt Caswell]
850
851 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
852 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
853 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
854 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
855 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
856 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
857 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
858 [Matt Caswell]
859
860 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
861 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
862 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
863 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
864 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
865 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
866 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
867 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
868 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
869 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
870 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
871 written to stderr.
872 [Viktor Dukhovni]
873
874 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
875 Mike Hamburg.
876 [Matt Caswell]
877
878 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
879 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
880 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
881 get the search data out of them.
882 [Richard Levitte]
883
884 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
885 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
886 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
887 https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/TLS1.3
888 [Matt Caswell]
889
890 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
891
892 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
893 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
894 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
895 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
896 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
897 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
898
899 Some of its new features are:
900 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
901 o The default RAND method makes use of a DRBG.
902 o There is a public and private DRBG instance.
903 o The DRBG instances are fork-safe.
904 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
905 o The public and private DRBG instance are per thread for lock free
906 operation
907 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
908
909 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
910 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
911 to display all sorts of configuration data.
912 [Richard Levitte]
913
914 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
915 [Richard Levitte]
916
917 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
918 [Paul Dale]
919
920 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
921 now been removed.
922 [Rich Salz]
923
924 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
925 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
926 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
927 debug (or make silent).
928 [Richard Levitte]
929
930 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
931 arguments to config / Configure.
932 [Richard Levitte]
933
934 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
935 [Paul Yang]
936
937 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
938 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
939 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
940 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
941
942 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
943 as documented in RFC6066.
944 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
945 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
946
947 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
948 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
949 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
950 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
951
952 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
953 original author does not agree with the license change.
954 [Rich Salz]
955
956 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
957 [Jon Spillett]
958
959 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
960 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
961 [Rich Salz]
962
963 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
964 without clearing the errors.
965 [Richard Levitte]
966
967 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
968 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
969 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
970 [Rich Salz]
971
972 *) Add SHA3.
973 [Andy Polyakov]
974
975 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
976 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
977 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
978 as a fallback).
979
980 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
981 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
982 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
983 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
984 [Richard Levitte]
985
986 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
987 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
988 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
989 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
990 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
991 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
992 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
993 [Richard Levitte]
994
995 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
996 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
997 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
998 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
999 [Richard Levitte]
1000
1001 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
1002 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
1003 error code calls like this:
1004
1005 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
1006
1007 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
1008 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
1009 affect new modules.
1010 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
1011
1012 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
1013 [Rich Salz]
1014
1015 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1016 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1017 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1018 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1019 [Richard Levitte]
1020
1021 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
1022 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
1023 than just the call where this user data is passed.
1024 [Richard Levitte]
1025
1026 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
1027 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
1028 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
1029
1030 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
1031 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
1032 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
1033 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
1034 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
1035 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
1036 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
1037 issues.
1038 [Matt Caswell]
1039
1040 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
1041 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
1042 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
1043 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
1044 [Richard Levitte]
1045
1046 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
1047 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
1048 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
1049
1050 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
1051 does for RSA, etc.
1052 [Richard Levitte]
1053
1054 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1055 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1056 [Richard Levitte]
1057
1058 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
1059 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
1060 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
1061 certificates and CRLs.
1062 [Paul Dale]
1063
1064 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
1065 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
1066 [Andy Polyakov]
1067
1068 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
1069 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
1070 [Richard Levitte]
1071
1072 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1073 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1074 which is the minimum version we support.
1075 [Richard Levitte]
1076
1077 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1078 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1079 are no longer allowed.
1080 [Emilia Käsper]
1081
1082 *) Add support for ARIA
1083 [Paul Dale]
1084
1085 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
1086 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
1087 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
1088 using "-servername".
1089 [Matt Caswell]
1090
1091 *) Add support for SipHash
1092 [Todd Short]
1093
1094 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
1095 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
1096 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
1097 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
1098 [Matt Caswell]
1099
1100 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
1101 using the algorithm defined in
1102 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
1103 [Richard Levitte]
1104
1105 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
1106 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
1107
1108 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
1109 [Emilia Käsper]
1110
1111 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
1112 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
1113 [Rich Salz]
1114
1115
1116 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
1117
1118 *) Client DoS due to large DH parameter
1119
1120 During key agreement in a TLS handshake using a DH(E) based ciphersuite a
1121 malicious server can send a very large prime value to the client. This will
1122 cause the client to spend an unreasonably long period of time generating a
1123 key for this prime resulting in a hang until the client has finished. This
1124 could be exploited in a Denial Of Service attack.
1125
1126 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 5th June 2018 by Guido Vranken
1127 (CVE-2018-0732)
1128 [Guido Vranken]
1129
1130 *) Cache timing vulnerability in RSA Key Generation
1131
1132 The OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm has been shown to be vulnerable to
1133 a cache timing side channel attack. An attacker with sufficient access to
1134 mount cache timing attacks during the RSA key generation process could
1135 recover the private key.
1136
1137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th April 2018 by Alejandro Cabrera
1138 Aldaya, Billy Brumley, Cesar Pereida Garcia and Luis Manuel Alvarez Tapia.
1139 (CVE-2018-0737)
1140 [Billy Brumley]
1141
1142 *) Make EVP_PKEY_asn1_new() a bit stricter about its input. A NULL pem_str
1143 parameter is no longer accepted, as it leads to a corrupt table. NULL
1144 pem_str is reserved for alias entries only.
1145 [Richard Levitte]
1146
1147 *) Revert blinding in ECDSA sign and instead make problematic addition
1148 length-invariant. Switch even to fixed-length Montgomery multiplication.
1149 [Andy Polyakov]
1150
1151 *) Change generating and checking of primes so that the error rate of not
1152 being prime depends on the intended use based on the size of the input.
1153 For larger primes this will result in more rounds of Miller-Rabin.
1154 The maximal error rate for primes with more than 1080 bits is lowered
1155 to 2^-128.
1156 [Kurt Roeckx, Annie Yousar]
1157
1158 *) Increase the number of Miller-Rabin rounds for DSA key generating to 64.
1159 [Kurt Roeckx]
1160
1161 *) Add blinding to ECDSA and DSA signatures to protect against side channel
1162 attacks discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
1163 [Matt Caswell]
1164
1165 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
1166 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
1167 [Richard Levitte]
1168
1169 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
1170 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
1171 are no longer allowed.
1172 [Emilia Käsper]
1173
1174 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
1175
1176 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
1177 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
1178 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
1179 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
1180 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
1181 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
1182 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
1183 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
1184 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
1185 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
1186 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
1187 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
1188 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
1189 [Matt Caswell]
1190
1191 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1192
1193 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1194
1195 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1196 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1197 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1198 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1199 so this is considered safe.
1200
1201 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1202 project.
1203 (CVE-2018-0739)
1204 [Matt Caswell]
1205
1206 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1207
1208 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1209 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1210 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1211 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1212 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1213 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1214
1215 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1216 (IBM).
1217 (CVE-2018-0733)
1218 [Andy Polyakov]
1219
1220 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1221 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1222 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1223 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1224 [Richard Levitte]
1225
1226 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1227
1228 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1229 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1230 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1231 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1232 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1233
1234 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1235 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1236 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1237 [Matt Caswell]
1238
1239 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1240 exist.
1241 [Rich Salz]
1242
1243 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1244
1245 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1246 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1247 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1248 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1249 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1250 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1251 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1252 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1253 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1254 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1255
1256 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1257 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1258
1259 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1260 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
1261 (CVE-2017-3738)

1263
1264 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1265
1266 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1267
1268 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1269 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1270 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1271 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1272 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1273 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1274 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1275 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1276 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1277 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1278 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1279
1280 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1281 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1282
1283 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1284 (CVE-2017-3736)
1285 [Andy Polyakov]
1286
1287 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1288
1289 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1290 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1291 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1292
1293 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1294 (CVE-2017-3735)

1296
1297 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1298
1299 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1300 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1301 [Richard Levitte]
1302
1303 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1304 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1305 which is the minimum version we support.

1307
1308 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
1309
1310 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1311
1312 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1313 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1314 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1315 and servers are affected.
1316
1317 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
1318 (CVE-2017-3733)

1320
1321 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
1322
1323 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1324
1325 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1326 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1327 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
1328
1329 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
1330 (CVE-2017-3731)
1331 [Andy Polyakov]
1332
1333 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1334
1335 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1336 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1337 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1338 of Service attack.
1339
1340 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1341 (CVE-2017-3730)
1342 [Matt Caswell]
1343
1344 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1345
1346 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1347 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1348 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1349 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1350 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1351 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1352 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1353 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1354 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1355 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1356 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1357 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1358 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1359
1360 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1365
1366 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1367
1368 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1369 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1370 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1371
1372 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
1373 (CVE-2016-7054)
1374 [Richard Levitte]
1375
1376 *) CMS Null dereference
1377
1378 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1379 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1380 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1381 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1382 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1383 affected.
1384
1385 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1386 (CVE-2016-7053)
1387 [Stephen Henson]
1388
1389 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1390
1391 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1392 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1393 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1394 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1395 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1396 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1397 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1398 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1399 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1400 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1401 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1402 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1403 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1404 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1405
1406 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1407 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1408 providing reproducible case.
1409 (CVE-2016-7055)
1410 [Andy Polyakov]
1411
1412 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1413 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
1414 [Richard Levitte]
1415
1416 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1417
1418 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1419
1420 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1421 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1422 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1423 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1424 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1425 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1426
1427 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1434
1435 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1436
1437 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1438 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1439 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1440 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1441 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1442 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1443 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1447 [Matt Caswell]
1448
1449 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1450
1451 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1452 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1453 Denial Of Service attack.
1454
1455 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1456 (CVE-2016-6305)
1457 [Matt Caswell]
1458
1459 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1460 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1461
1462 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1463 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1464 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1465 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1466 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1467 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1468 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1469 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1470 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1471 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1472 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1473 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1474 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1475 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1476 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1477
1478 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1479 that the connection fails
1480 or
1481 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1482 very little free memory
1483 or
1484 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1485 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1486 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1487 memory to service the multiple requests.
1488
1489 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1490 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1491 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1492 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1493 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
1494
1495 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
1496 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
1497 [Matt Caswell]
1498
1499 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1500 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1501 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1502 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1503 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1504 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1505 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1506 [Andy Polyakov]
1507
1508 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1509
1510 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1511 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1512 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1513 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1514 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1515 non-ASCII password.
1516 [Andy Polyakov]
1517
1518 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1519 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1520 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1521 [Rich Salz]
1522
1523 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1524 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1525 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1526 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1527 [Matt Caswell]
1528
1529 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1530 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1531 success.
1532 [Matt Caswell]
1533
1534 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1535 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1536 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1537 no-ops and deprecated.
1538 [Matt Caswell]
1539
1540 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1541 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1542 were also closed.
1543 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1544
1545 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1546 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1547 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1548 [Rich Salz]
1549
1550 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1551 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1552 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1553 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1554 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1555 and the validity of object reference counter.
1556 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1557
1558 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1559 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1560 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1561 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1562 [Richard Levitte]
1563
1564 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1565 [Richard Levitte]
1566
1567 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1568 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1569 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1570 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1571
1572 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1573
1574 [Richard Levitte]
1575
1576 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1577 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1578 [Steve Henson]
1579
1580 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1581 [Andy Polyakov]
1582
1583 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1584 [Rich Salz]
1585
1586 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1587 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1588 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1589 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1590 name and is used as is.
1591 [Richard Levitte]
1592
1593 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1594 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1595 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1596 [Rich Salz]
1597
1598 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1599 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1600 [Matt Caswell]
1601
1602 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1603 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1604 algorithms.
1605 [Matt Caswell]
1606
1607 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1608 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1609 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1610 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1611 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1612 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1613 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1614 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1615 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1616 [Matt Caswell]
1617
1618 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1619 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1620 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1621 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1622
1623 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1624 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1625 these have been added.
1626 [Matt Caswell]
1627
1628 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1629 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1630 functions for managing these have been added.
1631 [Richard Levitte]
1632
1633 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1634 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1635 these have been added.
1636 [Matt Caswell]
1637
1638 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1639 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1640 have been added.
1641 [Matt Caswell]
1642
1643 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1644 [Matt Caswell]
1645
1646 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1647 [Richard Levitte]
1648
1649 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1650 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1651 [Rich Salz]
1652
1653 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1654 [Richard Levitte]
1655
1656 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1657 [Rich Salz]
1658
1659 *) Add support for HKDF.
1660 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1661
1662 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1663 [Bill Cox]
1664
1665 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1666 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1667 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1668 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1669 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1670 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1671 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1672 [Matt Caswell]
1673
1674 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1675 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1676 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1677 [Catriona Lucey]
1678
1679 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1680 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1681 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1682 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1683 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1684 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1685 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1686
1687 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1688 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1689 [Todd Short]
1690
1691 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1692 [Todd Short]
1693
1694 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1695 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1696 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1697 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1698 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1699 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1700 default cipherlist.
1701 [Emilia Käsper]
1702
1703 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1704 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1705 [Rich Salz]
1706
1707 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1708 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1709 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1710 [Matt Caswell]
1711
1712 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1713 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1714 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1715 implemented by other servers.
1716 [Emilia Käsper]
1717
1718 *) Add X25519 support.
1719 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1720 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1721 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1722 key generation and key derivation.
1723
1724 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1725 X25519(29).
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1729 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1730 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1731 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1732 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1733
1734 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1735 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1736 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1737 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1738 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1739 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1740 that of a valid user.
1741 [Emilia Käsper]
1742
1743 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1744 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1745 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1746 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1747
1748 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1749 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1750
1751 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1752 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1753 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1754 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1755
1756 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1757 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1758 irrelevant.
1759 [Richard Levitte]
1760
1761 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1762 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1763 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1764 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1765 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1766 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1767
1768 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1769 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1770 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1771 [Richard Levitte]
1772
1773 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1774 [Rich Salz]
1775
1776 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1777 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1778 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1779 removed.
1780 [Richard Levitte]
1781
1782 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1783 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1784 old #define's might need to be updated.
1785 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1786
1787 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1788 [Rich Salz]
1789
1790 *) New "unified" build system
1791
1792 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1793 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1794
1795 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1796 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1797 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1798
1799 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1800 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1801 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1802 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1803 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1804
1805 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1806 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1807 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1808 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1809 libraries" in INSTALL.
1810
1811 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1812 [Richard Levitte]
1813
1814 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1815 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1816 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1817 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1818 [Matt Caswell]
1819
1820 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1821 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1822
1823 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1824 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1825 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1826 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1827 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1828 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1829 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1830 have been adapted accordingly.
1831 [Richard Levitte]
1832
1833 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1834 the leading 0-byte.
1835 [Emilia Käsper]
1836
1837 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1838 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1839 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1840 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1841 [Emilia Käsper]
1842
1843 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1844 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1845 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1846 'unsigned char*'.
1847 [Emilia Käsper]
1848
1849 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1850 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1851 [Emilia Käsper]
1852
1853 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1854 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1855 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1856 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1857 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1858 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1859 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1860
1861 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1862 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1863
1864 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1865 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1866 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1867 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1868 Text::Template.
1869
1870 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1871 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1872 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1873 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1874 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1875 %target).
1876 [Richard Levitte]
1877
1878 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1879 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1880 straightforward and less interdependent.
1881
1882 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1883 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1884 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1885
1886 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1887 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1888 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1889 installed.
1890 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1891 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1892 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1893 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1894
1895 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1896 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1897 [Richard Levitte]
1898
1899 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1900 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1901 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1902 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1903 is present).
1904 [Matt Caswell]
1905
1906 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1907 configuring.
1908 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1909
1910 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1911 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1912 before trying to build now.*
1913 [Rich Salz]
1914
1915 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1916 has changed.
1917 [Rich Salz]
1918
1919 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1920
1921 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1922 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1923 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1924 used to authenticate the peer.
1925
1926 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1927 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1928 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1929 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1930 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1931 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1932
1933 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1934 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1935 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1936 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1937 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1938 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1939
1940 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1941 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1942 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1943 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1944 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1945 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1946 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1947 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1948 version.
1949
1950 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1951 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1952 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1953 compile with later releases.
1954
1955 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1956 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1957 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1958 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1959 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1960 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1961
1962 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1963 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1964 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1965 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1966 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1967 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1968 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1969 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1970 [Kurt Roeckx]
1971
1972 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1973 [Andy Polyakov]
1974
1975 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1976 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1977 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1978 ECDSA_SIG format.
1979
1980 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1981 include the ec.h header file instead.
1982 [Steve Henson]
1983
1984 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1985 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1986 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1987 [Kurt Roeckx]
1988
1989 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1990 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1991 were added:
1992
1993 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1994 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1995
1996 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1997 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1998 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1999
2000 Additional changes:
2001 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
2002 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
2003 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
2004 an already created structure.
2005 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
2006 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
2007 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
2008 for deprecated builds.
2009 [Richard Levitte]
2010
2011 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
2012 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
2013 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
2014 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
2015 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
2016 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
2017 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
2018 [Matt Caswell]
2019
2020 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
2021 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
2022 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
2023 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
2024 [Kurt Roeckx]
2025
2026 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
2027 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
2028 [Kurt Roeckx]
2029
2030 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
2031 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
2032 [Kurt Roeckx]
2033
2034 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
2035 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
2036 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
2037 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
2038 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
2039 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
2040 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
2041 also been removed.
2042 [Matt Caswell]
2043
2044 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
2045 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
2046 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
2047 [Rich Salz]
2048
2049 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
2050 [Rich Salz]
2051
2052 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
2053 sureware and ubsec.
2054 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
2055
2056 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
2057
2058 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
2059 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
2060
2061 FOO *x;
2062
2063 it must be:
2064
2065 FOO x;
2066
2067 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
2068 set a mandatory field to NULL.
2069
2070 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
2071 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
2072 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
2073 SEQUENCE OF.
2074 [Steve Henson]
2075
2076 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
2077 [Emilia Käsper]
2078
2079 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
2080 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
2081 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
2082 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
2083 [Matt Caswell]
2084
2085 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2086 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2087 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2088 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2089 [Emilia Käsper]
2090
2091 *) Fix no-stdio build.
2092 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
2093 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
2094
2095 *) New testing framework
2096 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
2097 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
2098 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
2099 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
2100 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
2101 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
2102
2103 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
2104
2105 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
2106 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
2107
2108 [Richard Levitte]
2109
2110 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
2111 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
2112 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
2113 and others were changed. All are now documented.
2114 [Rich Salz]
2115
2116 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
2117 return an error
2118 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
2119
2120 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
2121 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
2122
2123 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
2124 original RSA_PSK patch.
2125 [Steve Henson]
2126
2127 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
2128 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
2129 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
2130 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
2131 [Matt Caswell]
2132
2133 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
2134 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2135 [Richard Levitte]
2136
2137 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2138 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2139 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2140 [Emilia Käsper]
2141
2142 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2143 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2144 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2145 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2146 transferred.
2147 [Matt Caswell]
2148
2149 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2150 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2151 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2152 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2153 [Matt Caswell]
2154
2155 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2156 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2157 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2158 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2159 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2160 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2161 [Matt Caswell]
2162
2163 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2164 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2165 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2166 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2167 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2168 header file has been removed.
2169 [Matt Caswell]
2170
2171 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2172 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2173 [Matt Caswell]
2174
2175 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2176 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2177 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2178
2179 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2180 Added a test.
2181 [Rich Salz]
2182
2183 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2184 [Rich Salz]
2185
2186 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2187 sha256
2188 [Rich Salz]
2189
2190 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2191 [Matt Caswell]
2192
2193 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2194 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2195 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2199 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2200 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2201 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2202 [Matt Caswell]
2203
2204 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2205 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2206 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2207 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2208 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2209 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2210 [Matt Caswell]
2211
2212 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2213 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2214 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2215 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2216 [Matt Caswell]
2217
2218 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2219 compatible client hello.
2220 [Kurt Roeckx]
2221
2222 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2223 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2224 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2225
2226 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2227 [Rich Salz]
2228
2229 *) Removed old DES API.
2230 [Rich Salz]
2231
2232 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2233 Sony NEWS4
2234 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2235 NeXT
2236 SUNOS
2237 MPE/iX
2238 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2239 DGUX
2240 NCR
2241 Tandem
2242 Cray
2243 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2244 [Rich Salz]
2245
2246 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2247 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2248 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2249 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2250 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2251 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2252 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2253 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2254 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2255 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2256 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2257 [Rich Salz]
2258
2259 *) Cleaned up dead code
2260 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2261 [Rich Salz]
2262
2263 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2264 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2265 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2266 [Rich Salz]
2267
2268 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2269 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2270 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2271 [Rich Salz]
2272
2273 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2274 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2275 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2276
2277 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2278 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2279 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2280
2281 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2282 compilation flags.
2283 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2284
2285 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2286 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2287 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2288
2289 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2290 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2291
2292 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2293 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2294 server.
2295
2296 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2297 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2298 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2299 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2300
2301 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2302 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2303 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2304 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2305
2306 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2307 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2308 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2309
2310 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2311 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2312 [Steve Henson]
2313
2314 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2315
2316 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2317 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2318
2319 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2320 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2321
2322 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2323 effect.
2324
2325 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2326
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2330 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2331 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2332 algorithms and include tests cases.
2333 [Steve Henson]
2334
2335 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2336 enveloped data.
2337 [Steve Henson]
2338
2339 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2340 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2341 [Steve Henson]
2342
2343 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2344 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2345
2346 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2347 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2348 [Steve Henson]
2349
2350 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2351 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2352 failures.
2353 [Steve Henson]
2354
2355 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2356 sign or verify all in one operation.
2357 [Steve Henson]
2358
2359 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2360 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2361 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2365 [Steve Henson]
2366
2367 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2371 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2372 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2373 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2374 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2375 [Steve Henson]
2376
2377 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2378 based on NID.
2379 [Steve Henson]
2380
2381 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2382 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2383 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2384 [Steve Henson]
2385
2386 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2387 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2388
2389 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2390 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2391 [Steve Henson]
2392
2393 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2394 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2395 [Steve Henson]
2396
2397 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2398 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2399 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2400 [Steve Henson]
2401
2402 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2403 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2404 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2405 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2406 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2407 requested amount of entropy.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409
2410 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2411 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2412 [Steve Henson]
2413
2414 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2415 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2416 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2417 support.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2421 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2422 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2426 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2427 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2428 will never use XTS mode.
2429 [Steve Henson]
2430
2431 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2432 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2433 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2434 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2435 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2436 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2440 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2441 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2442 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2443 [Steve Henson]
2444
2445 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2446 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2447 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2448 [Steve Henson]
2449
2450 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2451 [Steve Henson]
2452
2453 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2454 [Steve Henson]
2455
2456 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2457 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2461 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2465 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2466 [Steve Henson]
2467
2468 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2469 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2470 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2471 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2472 and rename any affected symbols.
2473 [Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2476 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2477 [Steve Henson]
2478
2479 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2480 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2481 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2482 [Steve Henson]
2483
2484 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2488 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2489 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2490 [Steve Henson]
2491
2492 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2493 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2494 [Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2497 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2498 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2499 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2500 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2501 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2502 set before the key.
2503 [Steve Henson]
2504
2505 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2506 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2507 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2508 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2509 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2510 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2511 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2512 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2513 [Steve Henson]
2514
2515 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2516 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2517 [Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2520
2521 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2522 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2523
2524 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2525 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2526 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2527 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2528 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2529 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2530
2531 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2532 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2533 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2534 security.
2535 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2536
2537 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2538 parameters by name.
2539 [Steve Henson]
2540
2541 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2542 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2543 [Steve Henson]
2544
2545 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2546 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2547 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2548 [Steve Henson]
2549
2550 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2551 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2552 multi-process servers.
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2556 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2557 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2558 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2559 RAND_METHOD structure.
2560 [Steve Henson]
2561
2562 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2563 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2564 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2565 whose return value is often ignored.
2566 [Steve Henson]
2567
2568 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2569 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2570 validated when establishing a connection.

2573 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2574
2575 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2576
2577 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2578 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2579 AES-NI.
2580
2581 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2582 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2583 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2584 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2585 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2586 bytes.
2587
2588 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2589 (CVE-2016-2107)
2590 [Kurt Roeckx]
2591
2592 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2593
2594 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2595 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2596 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2597 corruption.
2598
2599 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2600 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2601 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2602 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2603 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2604 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2605
2606 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2607 (CVE-2016-2105)
2608 [Matt Caswell]
2609
2610 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2611
2612 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2613 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2614 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2615 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2616 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2617 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2618 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2619 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2620 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2621 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2622 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2623 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2624 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2625 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2626 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2627 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
2628
2629 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2630 (CVE-2016-2106)
2631 [Matt Caswell]
2632
2633 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2634
2635 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2636 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2637 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2638
2639 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2640 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2641 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2642 applications are not affected.
2643
2644 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2645 (CVE-2016-2109)
2646 [Stephen Henson]
2647
2648 *) EBCDIC overread
2649
2650 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2651 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2652 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
2653
2654 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2655 (CVE-2016-2176)
2656 [Matt Caswell]
2657
2658 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
2659 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
2660 [Todd Short]
2661
2662 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
2663 default.
2664 [Kurt Roeckx]
2665
2666 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
2667 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
2668 [Kurt Roeckx]
2669
2670 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2671
2672 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2673 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2674 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2675 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2676
2677 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2678 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2679 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2680 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2681 will need to explicitly call either of:
2682
2683 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2684 or
2685 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2686
2687 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2688 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2689 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2690 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2691 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
2692 (CVE-2016-0800)
2693 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2694
2695 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2696
2697 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2698 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2699 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2700 considered rare.
2701
2702 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2703 libFuzzer.
2704 (CVE-2016-0705)
2705 [Stephen Henson]
2706
2707 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2708
2709 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2710
2711 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2712 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2713 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2714 is configured.
2715
2716 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2717 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2718 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2719 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2720 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2721 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2722 that of a valid user.
2723 (CVE-2016-0798)
2724 [Emilia Käsper]
2725
2726 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2727
2728 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2729 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2730 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2731 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2732 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2733 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2734 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2735 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2736 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2737 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2738 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2739
2740 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2741 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2742 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2743 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2744 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2745
2746 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2747 (CVE-2016-0797)
2748 [Matt Caswell]
2749
2750 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2751
2752 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2753 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2754 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2755
2756 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2757 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2758 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2759 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2760 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2761 also occur.
2762
2763 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2764 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2765 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2766 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2767 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2768 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2769 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2770 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2771 as command line arguments.
2772
2773 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2774 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2775 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2776
2777 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
2778 (CVE-2016-0799)
2779 [Matt Caswell]
2780
2781 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2782
2783 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2784 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2785 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2786 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2787 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2788
2789 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2790 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and

2798 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2799 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2800 [Emilia Käsper]
2801
2802 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2803 *) DH small subgroups
2804
2805 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2806 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2807 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2808 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2809 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2810 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2811 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2812 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2813 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2814 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2815
2816 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2817 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2818 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2819 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2820 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2821
2822 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2823 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2824 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2825 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2826
2827 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2828 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2829
2830 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2833
2834 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2835
2836 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2837 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2838 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2839 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2847
2848 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2849
2850 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2851 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2852 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2853 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2854 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2855 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2856 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2857 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2858 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2859 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2860 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2861 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2867 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2868
2869 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2870 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2871 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2872 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2873 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2874 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2875 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2906 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2907
2908 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2909 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2910 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2911 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2912 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2913 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2918
2919 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2920
2921 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2922 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2923 restored.
2924 [Matt Caswell]
2925
2926 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2927
2928 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2929
2930 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2931 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2932 field.
2933
2934 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2935 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2936 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2937 client authentication enabled.
2938
2939 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2940 (CVE-2015-1788)
2941 [Andy Polyakov]
2942
2943 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2944
2945 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2946 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2947 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2948 time string.
2949
2950 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2951 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2952 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2953 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2954 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2955 callbacks.
2956
2957 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2958 independently by Hanno Böck.
2959 (CVE-2015-1789)
2960 [Emilia Käsper]
2961
2962 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2963
2964 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2965 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2966 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2967
2968 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2969 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2970 servers are not affected.
2971
2972 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2973 (CVE-2015-1790)
2974 [Emilia Käsper]
2975
2976 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2977
2978 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2979 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2980 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2981 the CMS code.
2982 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2983 (CVE-2015-1792)
2984 [Stephen Henson]
2985
2986 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2987
2988 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2989 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2990 a double free of the ticket data.
2991 (CVE-2015-1791)
2992 [Matt Caswell]
2993
2994 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
2995 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
2996 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2997 [Emilia Kasper]
2998
2999 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
3000
3001 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
3002
3003 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
3004 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
3005 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
3006
3007 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
3008 University.
3009 (CVE-2015-0291)
3010 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
3011
3012 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
3013
3014 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
3015 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
3016 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
3017 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
3018 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
3019 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
3020 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
3021 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
3022
3023 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
3024 (CVE-2015-0290)
3025 [Matt Caswell]
3026
3027 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
3028
3029 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
3030 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
3031 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
3032 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
3033 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
3034 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
3035 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
3036 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
3037 server.
3038
3039 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
3040 (CVE-2015-0207)
3041 [Matt Caswell]
3042
3043 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
3044
3045 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
3046 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
3047 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
3048 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3049 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3050 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3051 (CVE-2015-0286)
3052 [Stephen Henson]
3053
3054 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
3055
3056 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
3057 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
3058 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
3059 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
3060 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
3061 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
3062 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
3063
3064 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
3065 (CVE-2015-0208)
3066 [Stephen Henson]
3067
3068 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
3069
3070 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
3071 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
3072 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
3073
3074 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
3075 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
3076 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
3077 not affected.
3078 (CVE-2015-0287)
3079 [Stephen Henson]
3080
3081 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
3082
3083 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
3084 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
3085 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
3086
3087 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
3088 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
3089 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
3090
3091 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
3092 (CVE-2015-0289)
3093 [Emilia Käsper]
3094
3095 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
3096
3097 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
3098 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
3099 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
3100
3101 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
3102 (OpenSSL development team).
3103 (CVE-2015-0293)
3104 [Emilia Käsper]
3105
3106 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
3107
3108 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
3109 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
3110 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
3111 (CVE-2015-1787)
3112 [Matt Caswell]
3113
3114 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
3115
3116 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
3117 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
3118 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
3119 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
3120 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
3121 SSL_client_methodv23)
3122 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
3123 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
3124
3125 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
3126 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
3127 output may be predictable.
3128
3129 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
3130 succeed on an unpatched platform:
3131
3132 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
3133 (CVE-2015-0285)
3134 [Matt Caswell]
3135
3136 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
3137
3138 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
3139 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
3140 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
3141 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
3142 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
3143 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
3144
3145 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
3146 commit 517073cd4b.
3147 (CVE-2015-0209)
3148 [Matt Caswell]
3149
3150 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3151
3152 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3153 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3154
3155 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3156 (CVE-2015-0288)
3157 [Stephen Henson]
3158
3159 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3160 [Kurt Roeckx]
3161
3162 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3163
3164 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3165 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3166 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3167 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3168 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3169 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3170 [Andy Polyakov]
3171
3172 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3173 (other platforms pending).
3174 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3175
3176 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3177 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3178 [Rob Stradling]
3179
3180 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3181 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3182 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3183 [Bodo Moeller]
3184
3185 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3186 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3187 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3188 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3189 [Andy Polyakov]
3190
3191 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3192 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3193
3194 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3195 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3196 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3197 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3198 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3199
3200 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3201 [Andy Polyakov]
3202
3203 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3204 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3205 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3206 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3207
3208 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3209 RSAZ.
3210 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3211
3212 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3213 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3214 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3215 for TLS encrypt.
3216
3217 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3218 [Andy Polyakov]
3219
3220 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3221 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3222 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3226 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3227 [Steve Henson]
3228
3229 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3230 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3231 [Steve Henson]
3232
3233 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3234 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3235 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3236 algorithms and include tests cases.
3237 [Steve Henson]
3238
3239 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3240 structure.
3241 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3244 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3245 [Steve Henson]
3246
3247 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3248 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3249 summary of the connection parameters.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3253 of connection parameters.
3254 [Steve Henson]
3255
3256 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3257 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3258
3259 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3260 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3261 [Steve Henson]
3262
3263 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3267 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3268 [Steve Henson]
3269
3270 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3271 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3272 [Steve Henson]
3273
3274 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3275 certificates.
3276 [Steve Henson]
3277
3278 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3279 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3280 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3281 [Steve Henson]
3282
3283 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3284 [Steve Henson]
3285
3286 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3287 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3288 [Steve Henson]
3289
3290 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3291 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3292 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3293 tracing.
3294 [Steve Henson]
3295
3296 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3297 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3298 [Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3301 OID NID.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3305 client to OpenSSL.
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3309 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3310 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3311 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3312 [Steve Henson]
3313
3314 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3315 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3316 [Steve Henson]
3317
3318 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3319 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3320 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3321 comparison.
3322 [Steve Henson]
3323
3324 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3325 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3326 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3327 use the certificate.
3328 [Steve Henson]
3329
3330 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3334 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3335 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3336 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3337 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3338 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3339 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3340
3341 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3342 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3343
3344 [Steve Henson]
3345
3346 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3347 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3348 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3352 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3353 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3354 supported signature algorithms.
3355 [Steve Henson]
3356
3357 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3358 [Steve Henson]
3359
3360 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3361 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3362 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3363 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3364 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3365 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3366 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3367 [Steve Henson]
3368
3369 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3370 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3371 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3372 to have similar checks in it.
3373
3374 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3375 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3376 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3377 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3378 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3382 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3383 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3384 shared signature algorithms.
3385 [Steve Henson]
3386
3387 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3388 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3389 to support them.
3390 [Steve Henson]
3391
3392 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3393 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3394 it couldn't be removed.
3395 [Steve Henson]
3396
3397 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3398 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3399 [Steve Henson]
3400
3401 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3402 functions. Add manual page.
3403 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3404
3405 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3406 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3407 a certificate.
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3411 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3412
3413 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3414 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3415 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3416 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3417 utility) or reject.
3418 [Steve Henson]
3419
3420 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3421 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3422 [Steve Henson]
3423
3424 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3425 platform support for Linux and Android.
3426 [Andy Polyakov]
3427
3428 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3429 [Andy Polyakov]
3430
3431 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3432 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3433 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3434 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3435 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3436 [Steve Henson]
3437
3438 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3439 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3440 the new parameter format automatically.
3441 [Steve Henson]
3442
3443 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3444 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3445 [Steve Henson]
3446
3447 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3451 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3452 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3453 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3454 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3455 [Steve Henson]
3456
3457 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3458 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3459 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3460 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3461 to set list of supported curves.
3462 [Steve Henson]
3463
3464 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3465 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3466 to print out received values.
3467 [Steve Henson]
3468
3469 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3470 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3471 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3472 [Steve Henson]
3473
3474 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3475 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3476 [Steve Henson]
3477
3478 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3479 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3480 [Steve Henson]
3481
3482 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3483 certificates.
3484 [Steve Henson]
3485
3486 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3487 the certificate.
3488 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3489 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3490 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3491
3492 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3493
3494 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3495 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3496
3497 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3498
3499 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3500 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3501 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3502 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3503 (CVE-2014-3571)
3504 [Steve Henson]
3505
3506 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3507 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3508 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3509 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3510 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3511 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3512 (CVE-2015-0206)
3513 [Matt Caswell]
3514
3515 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3516 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3517 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3518 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3519 (CVE-2014-3569)
3520 [Kurt Roeckx]
3521
3522 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3523 ECDH ciphersuites.
3524
3525 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3526 reporting this issue.
3527 (CVE-2014-3572)
3528 [Steve Henson]
3529
3530 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3531 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3532 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3533 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3534 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3535 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3536 (CVE-2015-0204)
3537 [Steve Henson]
3538
3539 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3540 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3541 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3542 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3543 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3544 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3545 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3546 this issue.
3547 (CVE-2015-0205)
3548 [Steve Henson]
3549
3550 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3551 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3552
3553 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3554 and can vary with the CTX.
3555 [Adam Langley]
3556
3557 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3558
3559 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3560 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3561 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3562 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3563 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3564
3565 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3566
3567 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3568 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3569
3570 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3571
3572 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3573 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3574 errors for some broken certificates.
3575
3576 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3577
3578 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3579
3580 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3581 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3582
3583 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3584 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3585 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3586 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3587
3588 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3589 of the OpenSSL core team.
3590
3591 (CVE-2014-8275)
3592 [Steve Henson]
3593
3594 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3595 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3596 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3597 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3598 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3599 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3600 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3601 the OpenSSL core team.
3602 (CVE-2014-3570)
3603 [Andy Polyakov]
3604
3605 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3606 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3607 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3608 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3609 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3610
3611 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3612 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3613 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3614 [Emilia Käsper]
3615
3616 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3617 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3618 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3619 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3620 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3621
3622 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3623 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3624 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3625 [Emilia Käsper]
3626
3627 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3628
3629 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3630
3631 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3632 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3633 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3634 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3635 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3636 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3637 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3638
3639 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3640 (CVE-2014-3513)
3641 [OpenSSL team]
3642
3643 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3644
3645 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3646 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3647 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3648 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3649 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3650 attack.
3651 (CVE-2014-3567)
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3655
3656 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3657 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3658 configured to send them.
3659 (CVE-2014-3568)
3660 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3661
3662 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3663 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3664 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3665 (CVE-2014-3566)
3666 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3667
3668 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3669
3670 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3671 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3672 DigestInfo structures.
3673
3674 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3675
3676 [Steve Henson]
3677
3678 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3679
3680 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3681 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3682 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3683
3684 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3685 Group for discovering this issue.
3686 (CVE-2014-3512)
3687 [Steve Henson]
3688
3689 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3690 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3691 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3692 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3693 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3694
3695 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3696 researching this issue.
3697 (CVE-2014-3511)
3698 [David Benjamin]
3699
3700 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3701 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3702 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3703 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3704
3705 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3706 issue.
3707 (CVE-2014-3510)
3708 [Emilia Käsper]
3709
3710 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3711 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3712 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3713 (CVE-2014-3507)
3714 [Adam Langley]
3715
3716 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3717 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3718 Denial of Service attack.
3719 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3720 (CVE-2014-3506)
3721 [Adam Langley]
3722
3723 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3724 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3725 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3726 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3727 this issue.
3728 (CVE-2014-3505)
3729 [Adam Langley]
3730
3731 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3732 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3733 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3734
3735 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3736 issue.
3737 (CVE-2014-3509)
3738 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3739
3740 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3741 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3742 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3743 Denial of Service attack.
3744
3745 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3746 discovering and researching this issue.
3747 (CVE-2014-5139)
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3751 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3752 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3753 output to the attacker.
3754
3755 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3756 (CVE-2014-3508)
3757 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3758
3759 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3760 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3761 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3762 [Bodo Moeller]
3763
3764 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3765
3766 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3767 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3768 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3769
3770 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3771 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3772 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3773
3774 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3775 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3776 in a DoS attack.
3777
3778 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3779 (CVE-2014-0221)
3780 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3781
3782 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3783 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3784 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3785 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3786
3787 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3788 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3789
3790 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3791 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3792
3793 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3794 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3795 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3796
3797 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3798 compilation flags.
3799 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3800
3801 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3802 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3803 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3804
3805 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3806 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3807
3808 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3809
3810 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3811 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3812 server.
3813
3814 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3815 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3816 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3817 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3818
3819 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3820 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3821 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3822 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3823
3824 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3825 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3826 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3827
3828 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3829
3830 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3831 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3832 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3833 is at least 512 bytes long.
3834
3835 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3836
3837 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3838
3839 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3840 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3841 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3842 (CVE-2013-4353)
3843
3844 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3845 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3846 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3850 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3851 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3852 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3853 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3854 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3855 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3856
3857 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3858
3859 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3860 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3861 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3862
3863 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3864
3865 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3866
3867 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3868 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3869 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3870
3871 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3872 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3873 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3874 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3875 (CVE-2013-0169)
3876 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3877
3878 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3879 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3880 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3881 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3882 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3883 (CVE-2012-2686)
3884 [Adam Langley]
3885
3886 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3887 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3888 [Steve Henson]
3889
3890 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3891 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3892
3893 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3894 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3895 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3896 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3897 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3898
3899 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3903 if renegotiating.
3904 [Steve Henson]
3905
3906 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3907
3908 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3909 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3910
3911 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3912 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3913 (CVE-2012-2333)
3914 [Steve Henson]
3915
3916 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3917 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3918 [Steve Henson]
3919
3920 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3921 approved.
3922 [Steve Henson]
3923
3924 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3925
3926 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3927 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3928 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3929 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3930 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3931 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3932 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3933 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3934 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3935 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3936 [Steve Henson]
3937
3938 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3939 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3940 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3941 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3942 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3943 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3944 client side.
3945 [Andy Polyakov]
3946
3947 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3948
3949 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3950 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3951 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3952
3953 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3954 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3955 (CVE-2012-2110)
3956 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3957
3958 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3959 [Adam Langley]
3960
3961 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3962 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3963
3964 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3965 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3966 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3967 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3968 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3969 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3970 Most broken servers should now work.
3971 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3972 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3976 [Andy Polyakov]
3977
3978 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3979
3980 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3981 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3985 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3986 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3987 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3988 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3989 [Steve Henson]
3990
3991 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3992 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3993 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3994 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3995 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3999 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4000
4001 *) Add support for SCTP.
4002 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4003
4004 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4005 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4006
4007 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
4008
4009 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
4010 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
4011 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
4012 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
4013 - s390x: z196 support;
4014 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
4015
4016 [Andy Polyakov]
4017
4018 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
4019 (removal of unnecessary code)
4020 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
4021
4022 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
4023 [Eric Rescorla]
4024
4025 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
4026 [Eric Rescorla]
4027
4028 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
4029 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
4030 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
4031 by Google.
4032 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
4033
4034 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
4035 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
4036 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
4037 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
4038 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
4039
4040 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
4041 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
4042 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
4043
4044 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
4045 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
4046 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
4047
4048 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
4049 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
4050 implementations).
4051 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4052
4053 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
4054 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
4055 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
4056 [Steve Henson]
4057
4058 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
4059 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
4060 particular PSS.
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
4064 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
4065 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
4066 [Steve Henson]
4067
4068 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
4069 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
4070 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
4071 the appropriate parameters.
4072 [Steve Henson]
4073
4074 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
4075 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
4076 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
4077 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
4078 against a number of sample certificates.
4079 [Steve Henson]
4080
4081 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
4082 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
4083
4084 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
4085 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
4086
4087 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
4088 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
4089 parameters r, s.
4090 [Steve Henson]
4091
4092 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
4093 RFC3211.
4094 [Steve Henson]
4095
4096 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
4097 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
4098 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
4099 password based CMS).
4100 [Steve Henson]
4101
4102 *) Session-handling fixes:
4103 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
4104 but also support Session Tickets.
4105 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
4106 presented a ticket with an expired session.
4107 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
4108 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
4109 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
4110 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4111
4112 *) Fix PSK session representation.
4113 [Bodo Moeller]
4114
4115 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
4116
4117 This work was sponsored by Intel.
4118 [Andy Polyakov]
4119
4120 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
4121 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
4122 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
4123 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
4124 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
4125 [Steve Henson]
4126
4127 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
4128 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
4129 [Steve Henson]
4130
4131 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
4132 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
4133 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4137 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4138 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4139 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4143 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4144 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4148 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4149
4150 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4154 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4158 [Steve Henson]
4159
4160 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4161 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4162 [Steve Henson]
4163
4164 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4165 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4169 [Steve Henson]
4170
4171 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4172 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4173 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4174 [Steve Henson]
4175
4176 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4177 [Steve Henson]
4178
4179 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4180 [Steve Henson]
4181
4182 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4183 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4184 [Steve Henson]
4185
4186 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4187 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4188 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4189 [Steve Henson]
4190
4191 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4195 and enable MD5.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4199 FIPS modules versions.
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4203 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4204 until after the certificate request message is received.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4208 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4209 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4210 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4211 [Steve Henson]
4212
4213 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4214 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4215 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4216 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4220 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4221 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4222 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4223 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4224 and version checking.
4225 [Steve Henson]
4226
4227 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4228 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4229 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4230 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4234 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4235 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4236 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4237 Ben Laurie]
4238
4239 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4240 [Steve Henson]
4241
4242 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4243 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4244 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4245
4246 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4247 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4248 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4249 [Steve Henson]
4250
4251 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4252 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4255 a few changes are required:
4256
4257 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4258 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4259 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4260 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4261 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4262 [Steve Henson]
4263
4264 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4265
4266 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4267 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4268 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4269 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4270 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4271 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4272 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4273 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4274 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4275 [Steve Henson]
4276
4277 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4278 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4279 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4280 [Steve Henson]
4281
4282 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4283
4284 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4285 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4286 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4287 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4288 [Antonio Martin]
4289
4290 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4291
4292 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4293 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4294 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4295 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4296 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4297 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4298 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4299 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4300 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4301 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4302 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4303 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4304 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4305
4306 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4307 (CVE-2011-4576)
4308 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4309
4310 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4311 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4312 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4313 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4314
4315 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4316 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4317
4318 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4319 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4320 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4321 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4322
4323 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4324 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4325
4326 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4327 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4328
4329 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4330 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4331
4332 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4333 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4334 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4335
4336 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4337 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4338 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4339
4340 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4341 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4342 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4343 the last update always remained unused).
4344 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4345
4346 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4347 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4348
4349 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4350
4351 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4352 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4353 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4354
4355 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4356 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4357 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4358
4359 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4360 [Bodo Moeller]
4361
4362 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4363 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4364 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4365 [Steve Henson]
4366
4367 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4368 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4369
4370 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4371
4372 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4373
4374 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4375
4376 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4377 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4378
4379 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4380 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4381 ambiguous.
4382 [Steve Henson]
4383
4384 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4385
4386 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4387 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4388 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4389 [Steve Henson]
4390
4391 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4392 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4393 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4394 [Ben Laurie]
4395
4396 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4397
4398 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4399 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4400 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4404 a DLL.
4405 [Steve Henson]
4406
4407 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4408
4409 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4410 (CVE-2010-1633)
4411 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4412
4413 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4414
4415 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4416 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4417 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4418 [Steve Henson]
4419
4420 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4421 [Steve Henson]
4422
4423 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4424 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4425 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4426
4427 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4428 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4429 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4430 [Steve Henson]
4431
4432 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4433 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4437 some responders need this.
4438 [Steve Henson]
4439
4440 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4441 correctly.
4442 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4443
4444 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4445 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4446 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4447 [Steve Henson]
4448
4449 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4450 [Steve Henson]
4451
4452 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4453 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4454 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4455 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4456 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4457 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4458 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4459 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4460 [Steve Henson]
4461
4462 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4463 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4464 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4465 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4466
4467 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4468 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4469
4470 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4471 be used on C++.
4472 [Steve Henson]
4473
4474 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4475 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4476 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4477 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4478 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4479 attempting to work them out.
4480 [Steve Henson]
4481
4482 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4483 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4484 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4485 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4486 [Steve Henson]
4487
4488 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4489 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4490 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4491 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4492 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4496 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4497 you can do:
4498
4499 openssl sha256 foo
4500
4501 as well as:
4502
4503 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4504
4505 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4506
4507 [Steve Henson]
4508
4509 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4510 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4511
4512 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4513 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4514
4515 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4516 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4517 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4518 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4519 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4520 [Steve Henson]
4521
4522 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4523 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4524 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4525 [Steve Henson]
4526
4527 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4528 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4529 [Steve Henson]
4530
4531 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4532 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4533
4534 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4535 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4536 [Steve Henson]
4537
4538 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4539 [Ben Laurie]
4540
4541 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4542 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4543 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4544 CONF_VALUE.
4545 [Ben Laurie]
4546
4547 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4548 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4549 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4550 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4551 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4552 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4556 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4557
4558 This work was sponsored by Google.
4559 [Steve Henson]
4560
4561 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4562 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4563 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4564 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4565 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4566 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4567 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4568 default.
4569
4570 This work was sponsored by Google.
4571 [Steve Henson]
4572
4573 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4574
4575 This work was sponsored by Google.
4576 [Steve Henson]
4577
4578 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4579 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4580 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4581 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4582
4583 This work was sponsored by Google.
4584 [Steve Henson]
4585
4586 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4587 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4588 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4589 CRL functionality in future.
4590
4591 This work was sponsored by Google.
4592 [Steve Henson]
4593
4594 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4595
4596 This work was sponsored by Google.
4597 [Steve Henson]
4598
4599 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4600 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4601
4602 This work was sponsored by Google.
4603 [Steve Henson]
4604
4605 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4606 and URI types are currently supported.
4607
4608 This work was sponsored by Google.
4609 [Steve Henson]
4610
4611 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4612 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4613 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4614 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4615 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4616 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4617 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4618 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4619
4620 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4621 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4622 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4623
4624 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4625 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4626 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4627 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4628
4629 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4630 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4631 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4632 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4633 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4634 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4635 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4636 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4637 of &errno.)
4638 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4639
4640 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4641 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4642 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4643
4644 This work was sponsored by Google.
4645 [Steve Henson]
4646
4647 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4648 [Ben Laurie]
4649
4650 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4651 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4652 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4653 [Ben Laurie]
4654
4655 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4656 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4657 [Nick Mathewson]
4658
4659 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4660 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4661 [Ben Laurie]
4662
4663 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4664 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4665 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4666 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4667 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4668 content types and variants.
4669 [Steve Henson]
4670
4671 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4672 [Steve Henson]
4673
4674 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4675 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4676 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4677 files from the associated perl scripts.
4678 [Steve Henson]
4679
4680 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4681 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4682 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4683
4684 *) s390x assembler pack.
4685 [Andy Polyakov]
4686
4687 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4688 "family."
4689 [Andy Polyakov]
4690
4691 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4692 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4693 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4694 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4695 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4696 to use. For example, specify an option
4697
4698 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4699
4700 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4701 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4702 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4703 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4704 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4705 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4706
4707 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4708 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4709 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4710 return non-zero for success.
4711
4712 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4713 by using
4714
4715 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4716 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4717
4718 where
4719
4720 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4721 void *arg;
4722
4723 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4724 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4725 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4726 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4727 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4728 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4729 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4730 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4731 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4732
4733 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4734 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4735 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4736 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4737 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4738 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4739
4740 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4741 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4742 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4743 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4744 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4745 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4746
4747 [Bodo Moeller]
4748
4749 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4750 MAC.
4751
4752 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4753
4754 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4755 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4756 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4757 supported.
4758
4759 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4760 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4761 SSL_SESSION.
4762
4763 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4764 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4765 with no application modification.
4766
4767 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4768 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4769
4770 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4771 or server extensions to be examined.
4772
4773 This work was sponsored by Google.
4774 [Steve Henson]
4775
4776 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4777 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4778 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4781 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4782 ciphersuite support.
4783 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4786 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4787 to output in BER and PEM format.
4788 [Steve Henson]
4789
4790 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4791 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4792 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4793 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4794 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4798 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4799 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4800 utility.
4801 [Steve Henson]
4802
4803 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4804 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4805 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4806 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4807 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4808 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4809 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4810 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4811 enabled again.
4812
4813 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4814 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4815 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4816 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4817
4818 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4819 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4820 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4821 the default order.
4822 [Bodo Moeller]
4823
4824 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4825 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4826 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4827 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4828 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4829 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4830 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4831 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4832 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4833
4834 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4835 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4836 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4837 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4838 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4839 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4840 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4841 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4842 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4843 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4844 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4845 kinds of kludges.
4846
4847 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4848 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4849 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4850
4851 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4852 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4853 "CAMELLIA256".
4854 [Bodo Moeller]
4855
4856 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4857 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4858 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4859 [Nils Larsch]
4860
4861 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4862 it yet and it is largely untested.
4863 [Steve Henson]
4864
4865 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4866 [Nils Larsch]
4867
4868 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4869 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4870 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4871 [Steve Henson]
4872
4873 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4874 [Andy Polyakov]
4875
4876 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4877 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4878 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4879 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4880 [Steve Henson]
4881
4882 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4883 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4884 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4885 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4886 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4887 [Steve Henson]
4888
4889 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4890 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4891 [Cryptocom]
4892
4893 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4894 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4895 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4896 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4897 [Steve Henson]
4898
4899 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4900 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4901 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4902 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4903 [Steve Henson]
4904
4905 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4906 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4907 [Steve Henson]
4908
4909 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4910 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4911 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4912 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4913 [Steve Henson]
4914
4915 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4916 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4917 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4918 [Steve Henson]
4919
4920 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4921 utility.
4922 [Steve Henson]
4923
4924 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4925 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4929 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4930 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4931 if necessary.
4932 [Steve Henson]
4933
4934 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4935 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4936 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4937 [Steve Henson]
4938
4939 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4940 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4941 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4942 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4943 [Steve Henson]
4944
4945 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4946 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4947 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4948 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4949 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4950 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4951 [Douglas Stebila]
4952
4953 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4954 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4955 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4956 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4957 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4958
4959 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4960 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4961 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4962 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4963 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4964 protocol).
4965
4966 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4967 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4968 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4969 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4970
4971 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4972 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4973 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4974 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4975 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4976
4977 aECDH - ECDH cert
4978 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4979 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4980
4981 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4982 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4983
4984 [Bodo Moeller]
4985
4986 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4987 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4988 [Steve Henson]
4989
4990 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4991 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4992 [Steve Henson]
4993
4994 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4995 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4996 functional reference processing.
4997 [Steve Henson]
4998
4999 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
5000 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
5001 process.
5002 [Steve Henson]
5003
5004 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
5005 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
5006 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
5007 [Steve Henson]
5008
5009 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
5010 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
5011 application to support multiple signers.
5012 [Steve Henson]
5013
5014 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
5015 digest MAC.
5016 [Steve Henson]
5017
5018 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
5019 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
5020 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
5021 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
5022 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
5023 [Steve Henson]
5024
5025 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
5026 new API.
5027 [Steve Henson]
5028
5029 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
5030 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
5031 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
5032 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
5033 a no op.
5034 [Steve Henson]
5035
5036 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
5037 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
5038 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
5039 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
5040 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
5041 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
5042 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
5043 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
5044 [Steve Henson]
5045
5046 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
5047 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
5048 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
5049 between digests and public key types.
5050 [Steve Henson]
5051
5052 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
5053 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
5054 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
5055 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
5056 [Steve Henson]
5057
5058 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
5059 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
5060 key ASN1 method.
5061 [Steve Henson]
5062
5063 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
5064 [Steve Henson]
5065
5066 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
5067 pkeyutl.
5068 [Steve Henson]
5069
5070 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
5071 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
5072 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
5073 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
5074 pkey, genpkey.
5075 [Steve Henson]
5076
5077 *) BeOS support.
5078 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5079
5080 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
5081 manual pages.
5082 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
5083
5084 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
5085 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
5086 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
5087 functionality for RSA.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
5091 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
5092 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
5093 [Steve Henson]
5094
5095 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
5096 key API, doesn't do much yet.
5097 [Steve Henson]
5098
5099 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
5100 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
5101 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
5102 [Steve Henson]
5103
5104 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
5105 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5106 [Douglas Stebila]
5107
5108 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
5109 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
5110 [Steve Henson]
5111
5112 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
5113 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
5114 type.
5115 [Steve Henson]
5116
5117 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
5118 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
5119 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
5120 structure.
5121 [Steve Henson]
5122
5123 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
5124 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
5125 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
5126 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
5127 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
5128 of public and private key structures.
5129 [Steve Henson]
5130
5131 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
5132 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
5133 [Douglas Stebila]
5134
5135 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5136 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5137 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5138
5139 New ciphersuites:
5140 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5141 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5142
5143 New functions:
5144 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5145 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5146 SSL_get_psk_identity
5147 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5148
5149 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5150
5151 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5152 and response verification functionality.
5153 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5154
5155 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5156 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5157 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5158 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5159 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5160 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5161 server_name extension.
5162
5163 New functions (subject to change):
5164
5165 SSL_get_servername()
5166 SSL_get_servername_type()
5167 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5168
5169 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5170
5171 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5172 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5173 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5174 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5175 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5176
5177 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5178
5179 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5180 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5181 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5182 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5183 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5184 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5185 option.
5186
5187 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5188
5189 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5190 [Andy Polyakov]
5191
5192 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5193 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5194 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5195 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5196 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5197 [Andy Polyakov]
5198
5199 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5200 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5201 macro.
5202 [Bodo Moeller]
5203
5204 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5205 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5206 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5207 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5208 [Andy Polyakov]
5209
5210 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5211 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5212 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5213 using the maximum available value.
5214 [Steve Henson]
5215
5216 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5217 in addition to the text details.
5218 [Bodo Moeller]
5219
5220 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5221 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5222 handle several customised structures at all.
5223 [Steve Henson]
5224
5225 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5226 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5227 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5228 [Steve Henson]
5229
5230 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5231 [Steve Henson]
5232
5233 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5234 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5235 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5236 [Steve Henson]
5237
5238 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5239 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5240 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5241 [Nils Larsch]
5242
5243 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5244 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5245 all fields.
5246 [Steve Henson]
5247
5248 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5249 [Steve Henson]
5250
5251 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5252 [NTT]
5253
5254 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5255
5256 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5257 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5258 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5259 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5260 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5261 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5262 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5263 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5264
5265 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5266 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5267 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5268
5269 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5270
5271 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5272 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5273
5274 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5275 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5276 [Bodo Moeller]
5277
5278 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5279 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5280 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5281 [Steve Henson]
5282
5283 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5284 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5285 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5286 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5287 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5288 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5289 [Steve Henson]
5290
5291 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5292 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5293 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5294 [Steve Henson]
5295
5296 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5297 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5298 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5299 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5300 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5301 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5302 CVE-2009-4355.
5303 [Steve Henson]
5304
5305 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5306 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5307 [Bodo Moeller]
5308
5309 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5310 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5311 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5312 [Steve Henson]
5313
5314 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5315 [Steve Henson]
5316
5317 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5318 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5319 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5320 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5321 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5322 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5323 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5324 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5325 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5326 [Steve Henson]
5327
5328 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5329 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5330 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5334 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5335 [Steve Henson]
5336
5337 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5338 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5339 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5340 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5341 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5342 know what you are doing.
5343 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5344
5345 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5346 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5347 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5348 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5349 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5350 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5351 the handshake.
5352 [Steve Henson]
5353
5354 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5355 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5356 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5357 correctly.
5358 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5359
5360 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5361 warnings in other configurations.
5362 [Steve Henson]
5363
5364 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5365 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5366 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5367 systems need.
5368 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5369
5370 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5371 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5372 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5373
5374 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5375 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5376 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5377 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5378 [Steve Henson]
5379
5380 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5381 and restored.
5382 [Steve Henson]
5383
5384 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5385 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5386 clash.
5387 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5388
5389 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5390 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5391 other than a simple chain.
5392 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5393
5394 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5395 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5396 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5397 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5398 [Steve Henson]
5399
5400 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5401 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5402 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5403 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5404 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5405 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5406 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5407 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5408 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5409
5410 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5411 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5412 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5413 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5414 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5415 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5416 (CVE-2009-1377)
5417 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5418
5419 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5420 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5421 [Daniel Mentz]
5422
5423 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5424 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5425
5426 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5427 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5428
5429 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5430
5431 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5432 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5433 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5434 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5435 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5436 you're doing.
5437 [Ben Laurie]
5438
5439 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5440
5441 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5442 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5443 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5444 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5445
5446 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5447 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5448 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5449 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5450
5451 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5452 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5453 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5454 [Steve Henson]
5455
5456 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5457 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5458 level.
5459 [Steve Henson]
5460
5461 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5462 to handle some structures.
5463 [Steve Henson]
5464
5465 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5466 for a '\n'
5467 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5468
5469 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5470 [Matthieu Herrb]
5471
5472 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5473 [Steve Henson]
5474
5475 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5476 [Steve Henson]
5477
5478 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5479 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5480 chosen compiler.
5481 [Ben Laurie]
5482
5483 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5484
5485 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5486 (CVE-2008-5077).
5487 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5488
5489 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5490 [Ben Laurie]
5491
5492 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5493 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5494 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5495 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5496
5497 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5498 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5499
5500 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5501 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5502 [Bodo Moeller]
5503
5504 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5505 s_client and s_server.
5506 [Ben Laurie]
5507
5508 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5509 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5510
5511 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5512 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5513
5514 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5515 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5516 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5517 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5518 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5519 [Bodo Moeller]
5520
5521 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5522
5523 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5524 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5525 [PR #1679]
5526
5527 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5528 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5529 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5530
5531 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5532 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5533 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5534 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5535
5536 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5537 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5538
5539 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5540
5541 *) Various precautionary measures:
5542
5543 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5544
5545 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5546 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5547 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5548
5549 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5550 outside the expected range.
5551
5552 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5553 builds.
5554
5555 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5556
5557 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5558 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5559 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5560
5561 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5562 [Steve Henson]
5563
5564 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5565 [Huang Ying]
5566
5567 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5568
5569 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5570 [Steve Henson]
5571
5572 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5573 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5574 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5575
5576 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5580 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5581 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5582 files.
5583 [Steve Henson]
5584
5585 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5586
5587 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5588 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5589 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5590 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5591
5592 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5593 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5594 [Joe Orton]
5595
5596 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5597
5598 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5599 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5600 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5601
5602 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5603
5604 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5605 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5606 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5607 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5608 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5609
5610 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5611 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5612 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5613 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5614 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5615 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5616 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5617
5618 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5619
5620 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5621 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5622 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5623 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5624 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5625
5626 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5627 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5628
5629 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5630 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5631 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5632 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5633 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5634
5635 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5636
5637 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5638 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5639 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5640 sets may exist with different names.
5641 [Steve Henson]
5642
5643 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5644 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5645 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5646 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5647 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5648 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5649 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5650 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5651 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5652 implementation.
5653 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5654
5655 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5656 implementation in the following ways:
5657
5658 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5659 hard coded.
5660
5661 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5662 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5663 ignored for embedded content.
5664
5665 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5666 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5667 [Steve Henson]
5668
5669 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5670 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5671 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5672 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5673
5674 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5675 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5676 [Steve Henson]
5677
5678 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5679 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5680 [Steve Henson]
5681
5682 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5683 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5684 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5685 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5686 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5687 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5688 data.
5689 [Steve Henson]
5690
5691 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5692 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5693 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5694
5695 *) Netware support:
5696
5697 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5698 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5699 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5700 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5701 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5702 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5703 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5704 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5705 platform
5706 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5707 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5708 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5709 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5710 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5711 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5712 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5713
5714 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5715 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5716 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5717 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5718 to s_client and s_server.
5719 [Steve Henson]
5720
5721 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5722
5723 *) Fix various bugs:
5724 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5725 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5726 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5727 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5728 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5729
5730 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5731
5732 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5733 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5734 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5735 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5736 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5737 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5738 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5739 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5740 [Andy Polyakov]
5741
5742 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5743 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5744 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5745 Steve Henson]
5746
5747 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5748 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5749 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5750 supported.
5751
5752 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5753 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5754 SSL_SESSION.
5755
5756 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5757 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5758 with no application modification.
5759
5760 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5761 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5762
5763 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5764 or server extensions to be examined.
5765
5766 This work was sponsored by Google.
5767 [Steve Henson]
5768
5769 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5770 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5771 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5772 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5773 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5774 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5775 server_name extension.
5776
5777 New functions (subject to change):
5778
5779 SSL_get_servername()
5780 SSL_get_servername_type()
5781 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5782
5783 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5784
5785 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5786 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5787 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5788 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5789 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5790
5791 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5792
5793 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5794 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5795 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5796 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5797 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5798 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5799 option.
5800
5801 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5802
5803 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5804 [Steve Henson]
5805
5806 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5807 [Andy Polyakov]
5808
5809 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5810 (which previously caused an internal error).
5811 [Bodo Moeller]
5812
5813 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5814 [Ben Laurie]
5815
5816 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5817 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5818
5819 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5820 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5821 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5822
5823 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5824 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5825 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5826 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5827
5828 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5829 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5830 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5831 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5832
5833 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5834 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5835 information. For detailed background information, see
5836 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5837 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5838 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5839 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5840 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5841 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5842 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5843 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5844 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5845 remove a conditional branch.
5846
5847 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5848 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5849 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5850 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5851 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5852 remains as a deprecated alias.
5853
5854 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5855 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5856 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5857 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5858
5859 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5860 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5861 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5862 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5863 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5864 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5865 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5866 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5867
5868 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5869
5870 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5871 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5872 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5873 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5874 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5875 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5876 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5877 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5878 in a different context.
5879 [Bodo Moeller]
5880
5881 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5882 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5883 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5884 [Bodo Moeller]
5885
5886 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5887 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5888 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5889
5890 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5891
5892 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5893 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5894 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5895 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5896 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5897 [Victor Duchovni]
5898
5899 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5900 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5901 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5902 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5903 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5904 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5905 [Bodo Moeller]
5906
5907 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5908 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5909 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5910 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5911 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5912 [Bodo Moeller]
5913
5914 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5915 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5916
5917 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5918 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5919 Improve header file function name parsing.
5920 [Steve Henson]
5921
5922 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5923 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5924 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5925
5926 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5927
5928 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5929 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5930 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5931
5932 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5933 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5934
5935 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5936 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5937
5938 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5939 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5940 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5941
5942 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5943 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5944 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5945 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5946 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5947 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5948 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5949 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5950 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5951
5952 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5953 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5954 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5955 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5956 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5957
5958 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5959 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5960 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5961 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5962 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5963 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5964 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5965 multiple values to extend the available space.
5966
5967 [Bodo Moeller]
5968
5969 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5970
5971 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5972 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5973
5974 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5975 [Ben Laurie]
5976
5977 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5978 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5979 undesirable limitations.
5980 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5981
5982 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5983 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5984 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5985 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5986 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5987 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5988 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5989 [Bodo Moeller]
5990
5991 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5992
5993 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5994 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5995 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5996
5997 The latter two were purportedly from
5998 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5999 appear there.
6000
6001 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6002 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6003 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6004 [Bodo Moeller]
6005
6006 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6007 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6008 [Bodo Moeller]
6009
6010 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
6011 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
6012 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
6013 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
6014
6015 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
6016 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
6017 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
6018 [NTT]
6019
6020 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
6021 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
6022 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
6023 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
6024 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
6025 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
6029
6030 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
6031 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
6032 [Steve Henson]
6033
6034 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
6035 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
6036
6037 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6038 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
6039 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
6040 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
6041 [Douglas Stebila]
6042
6043 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
6044 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
6048 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
6049 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
6050 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
6051 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
6052 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
6053 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
6054 can't be loaded.
6055 [Steve Henson]
6056
6057 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
6058 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
6059 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
6060 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
6061 [Steve Henson]
6062
6063 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
6064 under VC++ build system.
6065 [Steve Henson]
6066
6067 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
6068 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
6069 [Richard Levitte]
6070
6071 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
6072
6073 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6074 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6075 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6076 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6077 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6078
6079 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6080 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6081 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6082
6083 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
6084 [Steve Henson]
6085
6086 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
6087 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6088 [Nils Larsch]
6089
6090 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
6091 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
6092
6093 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
6094 [Nick Mathewson]
6095
6096 *) Extended Windows CE support.
6097 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
6098
6099 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
6100 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
6101 [Steve Henson]
6102
6103 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
6104 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
6105 smime utility.
6106 [Steve Henson]
6107
6108 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
6109
6110 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6111 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6112
6113 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
6114 [Richard Levitte]
6115
6116 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
6117 key into the same file any more.
6118 [Richard Levitte]
6119
6120 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
6121 [Andy Polyakov]
6122
6123 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
6124 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
6125
6126 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
6127 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
6128 [Richard Levitte]
6129
6130 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
6131 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
6132 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
6133 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
6134 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6135 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6136
6137 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6138 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6139 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6140 [Steve Henson]
6141
6142 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6143 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6144 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6145 - add new function for parameter creation
6146 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6147 BN_BLINDING parameters
6148 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6149 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6150 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6151 threads.
6152 [Nils Larsch]
6153
6154 *) Add support for DTLS.
6155 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6156
6157 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6158 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6159 [Walter Goulet]
6160
6161 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6162 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6163 [Nils Larsch]
6164
6165 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6166 the apps/openssl applications.
6167 [Nils Larsch]
6168
6169 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6170 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6171 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6172 [Ben Laurie]
6173
6174 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6175 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6176
6177 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6178 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6179
6180 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6181 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6182 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6183 avoid this algorithm.)
6184
6185 [Bodo Moeller]
6186
6187 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6188 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6189 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6190 [Richard Levitte]
6191
6192 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6193 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6194 [Andy Polyakov]
6195
6196 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6197 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6198 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6199 pod file:
6200
6201 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6202
6203 The blank line is mandatory.
6204
6205 [Steve Henson]
6206
6207 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6208 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6209 sources.
6210 [Steve Henson]
6211
6212 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6213 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6214
6215 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6216 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6217 to support policy checking and print out.
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6221 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6222 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6223 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6224
6225 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6226 [Geoff Thorpe]
6227
6228 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6229 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6230
6231 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6232 implementation contributed by IBM.
6233 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6234
6235 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6236 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6237 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6238 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6239
6240 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6241 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6242
6243 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6244 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6245 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6246 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6247 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6248 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6252 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6253 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6254 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6255 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6256 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6257 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6258 [Geoff Thorpe]
6259
6260 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6261 [Steve Henson]
6262
6263 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6264 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6265 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6266 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6267 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6268 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6269 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6270 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6274 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6275 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6276 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6277 [Steve Henson]
6278
6279 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6280 syntax:
6281
6282 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6283 [Steve Henson]
6284
6285 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6286 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6287 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6288 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6289 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6290 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6291 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6292 [Geoff Thorpe]
6293
6294 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6295 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6296 [Geoff Thorpe]
6297
6298 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6299 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6300 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6301 [Steve Henson]
6302
6303 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6304 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6305 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6306 below).
6307 [Geoff Thorpe]
6308
6309 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6310 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6311 [Richard Levitte]
6312
6313 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6314 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6315 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6316 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6317 [Geoff Thorpe]
6318
6319 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6320 initialised value as BN_new().
6321 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6322
6323 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6324 [Steve Henson]
6325
6326 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6327 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6328 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6329 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6330 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6331 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6332 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6333 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6334 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6335 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6336 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6337 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6338 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6339 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6340 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6341
6342 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6343 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6344 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6345 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6346 [Geoff Thorpe]
6347
6348 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6349 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6350 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6351 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6352 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6353 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6354 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6355 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6356 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6357 [Geoff Thorpe]
6358
6359 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6360 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6361 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6362 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6363 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6364 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6365 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6366 [Geoff Thorpe]
6367
6368 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6369 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6370 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6371 these have been updated also.
6372 [Geoff Thorpe]
6373
6374 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6375 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6376 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6377 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6378 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6379 functions.
6380 [Steve Henson]
6381
6382 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6383 structure of type "other".
6384 [Steve Henson]
6385
6386 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6387 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6388 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6389 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6390 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6391 situation in the script.
6392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6393
6394 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6395 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6396 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6397 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6398 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6399 used as premaster secret.
6400 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6401
6402 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6403 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6404 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6405
6406 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6407 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6408
6409 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6410 control of the error stack.
6411 [Richard Levitte]
6412
6413 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6414 [Richard Levitte]
6415
6416 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6417 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6418 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6419 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6420 [Richard Levitte]
6421
6422 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6423 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6424 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6425 [Richard Levitte]
6426
6427 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6428 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6429 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6430 a memory area.
6431 [Richard Levitte]
6432
6433 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6434 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6435 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6436 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6437 [Richard Levitte]
6438
6439 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6440 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6441 the following flags are defined:
6442
6443 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6444 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6445 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6446 number.
6447
6448 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6449 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6450 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6451 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6452 returns zero.
6453 [Richard Levitte]
6454
6455 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6456 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6457 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6458 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6459 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6460 [Richard Levitte]
6461
6462 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6463 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6464 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6465 [Richard Levitte]
6466
6467 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6468 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6469 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6470 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6471 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6472 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6473 [Richard Levitte]
6474
6475 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6476 req and dirName.
6477 [Steve Henson]
6478
6479 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6480 [Steve Henson]
6481
6482 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6483 [Steve Henson]
6484
6485 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6489 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6490 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6491 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6492 default implementation more easily.
6493 [Geoff Thorpe]
6494
6495 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6496 in config files.
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6500 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6501 [Richard Levitte]
6502
6503 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6504 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6505 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6506 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6507
6508 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6509 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6510 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6511 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6512 [Steve Henson]
6513
6514 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6515 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6516 to do it.
6517 [Richard Levitte]
6518
6519 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6520 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6521 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6522 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6523 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6524 scalar * generator).
6525 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6526
6527 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6528 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6529 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6530 correctly.
6531 [Steve Henson]
6532
6533 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6534 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6535 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6536 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6537 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6538 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6539 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6540 linker additions, eg;
6541 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6542 [Geoff Thorpe]
6543
6544 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6545 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6546 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6547 [Geoff Thorpe]
6548
6549 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6550 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6551 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6552 via PR#459)
6553 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6554
6555 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6556 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6557 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6558 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6559 [Geoff Thorpe]
6560
6561 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6562 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6563 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6564 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6565 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6566 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6567 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6568 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6569 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6570 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6571
6572 Example for using the new callback interface:
6573
6574 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6575 void *my_arg = ...;
6576 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6577
6578 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6579
6580 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6581 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6582 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6583 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6584 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6585 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6586 */
6587
6588 [Geoff Thorpe]
6589
6590 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6591 available to TLS with the number defined in
6592 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6593 [Richard Levitte]
6594
6595 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6596 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6597
6598 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6599 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6600 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6601 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6602
6603 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6604 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6605
6606 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6607 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6608 well.
6609 [Richard Levitte]
6610
6611 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6612 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6613 [Richard Levitte]
6614
6615 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6616 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6617 and a macro that behave like
6618 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6619
6620 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6621 [Nils Larsch]
6622
6623 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6624 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6625 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6626 if applicable.
6627 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6628
6629 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6630 [Bodo Moeller]
6631
6632 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6633 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6634 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6635 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6636 directory engines/.
6637 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6638 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6639 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6640 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6641 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6642 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6643 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6644 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6645
6646 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6647 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6648 [Richard Levitte]
6649
6650 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6651 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6652
6653 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6654 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6655 files while avoiding the low level API.
6656
6657 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6658 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6659 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6660 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6661
6662 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6663 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6664 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6665 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6666 instead of the low level API.
6667 [Steve Henson]
6668
6669 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6670 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6671 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6672 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6673 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6674 PKCS#7 code.
6675
6676 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6677 down to the template encoder.
6678 [Steve Henson]
6679
6680 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6681 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6682 [Bodo Moeller]
6683
6684 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6685 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6686 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6687 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6688
6689 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6690 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6691
6692 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6693 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6694
6695 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6696 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6697 [Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6700 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6701 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6702 [Bodo Moeller]
6703
6704 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6705 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6706
6707 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6708 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6709
6710 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6711 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6712 New EC_METHOD:
6713
6714 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6715
6716 New API functions:
6717
6718 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6719 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6720 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6721 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6722 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6723 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6724
6725 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6726 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6727 enable it).
6728
6729 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6730 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6731 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6732 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6733 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6734 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6735 various internal method names.)
6736
6737 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6738 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6739
6740 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6741 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6742
6743 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6744 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6745
6746 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6747 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6748 methods are undefined.
6749
6750 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6751 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6752
6753 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6754 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6755 length of the modulus.
6756
6757 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6758 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6759
6760 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6761 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6762
6763 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6764 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6765
6766 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6767 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6768 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6769
6770 BN_GF2m_add
6771 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6772 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6773 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6774 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6775 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6776 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6777 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6778 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6779 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6780
6781 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6782 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6783
6784 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6785 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6786 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6787 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6788 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6789 where
6790 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6791 This applies to the following functions:
6792
6793 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6794 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6795 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6796 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6797 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6798 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6799 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6800 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6801 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6802 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6803
6804 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6805
6806 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6807 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6808
6809 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6810
6811 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6812 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6813 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6814 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6815 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6816
6817 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6818 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6819
6820 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6821 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6822 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6823
6824 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6825 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6826
6827 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6828 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6829 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6830 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6831 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6832
6833 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6834 functions
6835 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6836 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6837 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6838 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6839 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6840 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6841 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6842 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6843 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6844 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6845 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6846 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6847
6848 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6849 functions
6850 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6851 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6852 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6853 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6854 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6855
6856 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6857 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6858 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6859 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6860
6861 *) Add functions
6862 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6863 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6864 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6865 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6866 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6867 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6868 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6869
6870 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6871 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6872 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6873 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6874 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6875 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6876 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6877 adding different types of curves.
6878 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6879
6880 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6881 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6882 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6883 [Bodo Moeller]
6884
6885 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6886 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6887
6888 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6889 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6890 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6891 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6892
6893 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6894
6895 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6896 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6897
6898 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6899 library. Most notably,
6900 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6901 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6902 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6903 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6904 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6905 extracted before the specific public key;
6906 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6907 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6908
6909 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6910 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6911 function
6912 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6913 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6914 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6915 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6916 accessed via
6917 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6918 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6919 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6920
6921 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6922 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6923 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6924 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6925 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6926 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6927 differing sizes.
6928 [Richard Levitte]
6929
6930 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6931
6932 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6933 sensitive data.
6934 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6935
6936 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6937 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6938 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6939 [Bodo Moeller]
6940
6941 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6942 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6943 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6944 [Victor Duchovni]
6945
6946 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6947 [Steve Henson]
6948
6949 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6950 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6951 [Steve Henson]
6952
6953 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6954 run algorithm test programs.
6955 [Steve Henson]
6956
6957 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6958 [Steve Henson]
6959
6960 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6961 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6962 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6963 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6964 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6965 [Bodo Moeller]
6966
6967 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6968 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6969 [Steve Henson]
6970
6971 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6972
6973 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6974 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6975 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6976
6977 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6978 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6979
6980 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6981 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6982
6983 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6984 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6985 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6986
6987 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6988 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6989 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6990 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6991 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6992 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6993 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6994 [Bodo Moeller]
6995
6996 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6997
6998 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6999 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
7000
7001 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
7002 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
7003 undesirable limitations.
7004 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7005
7006 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
7007
7008 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
7009 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
7010 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
7011
7012 The latter two were purportedly from
7013 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
7014 appear there.
7015
7016 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
7017 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
7018 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
7019 [Bodo Moeller]
7020
7021 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
7022 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
7023 [Bodo Moeller]
7024
7025 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
7026
7027 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
7028 module in FIPS mode.
7029 [Steve Henson]
7030
7031 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
7032 [Steve Henson]
7033
7034 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
7035 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
7036 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
7037 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
7038 [Steve Henson]
7039
7040 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
7041
7042 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
7043 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
7044 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
7045 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
7046 the difference induced by this change.
7047 [Andy Polyakov]
7048
7049 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
7050
7051 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
7052 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
7053 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
7054 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
7055 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
7056
7057 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
7058 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
7059 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
7060
7061 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
7062 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
7063 [Steve Henson]
7064
7065 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
7066 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
7067 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
7068 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
7069 biased k.)
7070 [Bodo Moeller]
7071
7072 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
7073 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
7074 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
7075 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
7076 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
7077
7078 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
7079 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
7080 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
7081 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
7082 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
7083 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
7084
7085 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
7086
7087 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
7088 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
7089 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
7090 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
7091 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
7092 [Bodo Moeller]
7093
7094 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
7095 clients need.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
7099 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
7100 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
7101 [Steve Henson]
7102
7103 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
7104 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
7105 structures constant.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
7109
7110 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
7111 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
7112
7113 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
7114 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
7115 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
7116 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
7117 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
7118 some needed definitions.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Undo Cygwin change.
7122 [Ulf Möller]
7123
7124 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
7125 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
7126 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
7127 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
7128 [Richard Levitte]
7129
7130 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
7131
7132 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
7133 server and client random values. Previously
7134 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7135 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7136
7137 This change has negligible security impact because:
7138
7139 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7140 data.
7141
7142 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7143 handshake.
7144
7145 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7146 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7147 values.
7148
7149 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7150 to our attention.
7151
7152 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7153
7154 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7155 [Ulf Möller]
7156
7157 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7158 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7159 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7160
7161 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7162 [Steve Henson]
7163
7164 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7165 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7166 [Andy Polyakov]
7167
7168 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7169 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7170 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7171
7172 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7173 [Steve Henson]
7174
7175 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7176 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7177 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7178 certificates.
7179 [Steve Henson]
7180
7181 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7182 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7183 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7184 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7185
7186 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7187 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7188 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7189 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7190 been given)
7191 [Richard Levitte]
7192
7193 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7194
7195 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7196 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7197 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7198 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7199 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7200 [Steve Henson]
7201
7202 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7203 [Steve Henson]
7204
7205 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7206 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7207
7208 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7209 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7210 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7211 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7212 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7213 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7214 rather than being initialized to 1.
7215 [Steve Henson]
7216
7217 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7218
7219 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7220 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7221 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7222
7223 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7224 (CVE-2004-0112)
7225 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7226
7227 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7228 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7229 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7230 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7231 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7232 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7233 [Richard Levitte]
7234
7235 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7236 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7237 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7238 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7239 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7240 for these cases.
7241 [Steve Henson]
7242
7243 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7244 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7245 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7246 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7247 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7248 [Steve Henson]
7249
7250 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7251 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7252 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7253 < 0.9.7.
7254 [Steve Henson]
7255
7256 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7257 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7258
7259 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7260 [Steve Henson]
7261
7262 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7263
7264 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7265
7266 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7267 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7268
7269 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7270
7271 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7272 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7273
7274 [Steve Henson]
7275
7276 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7277 exiting on the first error in a request.
7278 [Steve Henson]
7279
7280 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7281 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7282 specifications.
7283 [Steve Henson]
7284
7285 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7286 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7287 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7288 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7289
7290 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7291 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7292 [Richard Levitte]
7293
7294 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7295 blocks during encryption.
7296 [Richard Levitte]
7297
7298 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7299 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7300 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7301 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7302 certain size.
7303 [Steve Henson]
7304
7305 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7306 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7307 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7308 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7309 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7310 parser.
7311 [Steve Henson]
7312
7313 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7314
7315 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7316 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7317 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7318 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7319 [Bodo Moeller]
7320
7321 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7322 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7323 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7324 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7325 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7326
7327 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7328 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7329 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7330 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7331 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7332 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7333 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7334 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7335 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7336 [Bodo Moeller]
7337
7338 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7339 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7340 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7341 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7342 [Geoff Thorpe]
7343
7344 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7345 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7346 [Ulf Moeller]
7347
7348 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7349
7350 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7351 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7352 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7353 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7354 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7355
7356 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7357 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7358 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7359
7360 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7361 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7362 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7363 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7364 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7365
7366 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7367 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7368 used by default when no-err is given.
7369 [Richard Levitte]
7370
7371 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7372 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7373
7374 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7375 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7376 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7377 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7378 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7379
7380 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7381 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7382 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7383 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7384
7385 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7386
7387 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7388
7389 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7390
7391 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7392 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7393 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7394 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7395 root is omitted).
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7399 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7400
7401 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7402 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7403 [Steve Henson]
7404
7405 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7406 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7407 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7408 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7409 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7410
7411 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7412 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7413 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7414 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7415 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7416 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7417 followup to PR #377.
7418 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7419
7420 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7421 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7422 [Andy Polyakov]
7423
7424 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7425 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7426 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7427 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7428
7429 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7430
7431 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7432 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7433
7434 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7435 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7436 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7437 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7438 client and server.
7439 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7440 PR #377.
7441 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7442
7443 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7444 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7445 removed entirely.
7446 [Richard Levitte]
7447
7448 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7449 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7450 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7451 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7452 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7453 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7454 of libcrypto.
7455 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7456 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7457 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7458 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7459 have to be made anyway).
7460 [Richard Levitte]
7461
7462 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7463 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7464 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7465 [Steve Henson]
7466
7467 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7468 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7469 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7470 [Richard Levitte]
7471
7472 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7473 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7474 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7475
7476 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7477 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7478 edit numbers of the version.
7479 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7480
7481 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7482 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7483 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7484
7485 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7486 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7487
7488 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7489 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7490 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7491
7492 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7493 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7494
7495 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7496 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7497
7498 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7499 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7500
7501 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7502 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7503
7504 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7505 overflows.
7506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7507
7508 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7509 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7510 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7511
7512 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7513 representations in a platform independent manner.
7514 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7515
7516 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7517 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7518 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7519
7520 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7521 indents.
7522 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7523
7524 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7525 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7526
7527 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7528 full. Fixed.
7529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7530
7531 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7532 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7533 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7534
7535 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7536 unconditionally).
7537 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7538
7539 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7540 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7541
7542 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7543 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7544
7545 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7546 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7547
7548 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7549 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7550
7551 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7552 CBCParameter.
7553 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7554
7555 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7556 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7557
7558 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7559 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7560
7561 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7562 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7563 exploitable.
7564 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7565
7566 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7567 the 0.9.6 release series:
7568
7569 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7570 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7571 (CVE-2002-0657)
7572 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7573
7574 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7575 [Richard Levitte]
7576
7577 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7578 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7579
7580 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7581 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7582
7583 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7584 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7585 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7586 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7587
7588 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7589 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7590 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7591
7592 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7593 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7594 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7595 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7596
7597 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7598 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7599 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7600 some local tweaks:
7601
7602 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7603 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7604 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7605 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7606 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7607 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7608 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7609 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7610 done
7611
7612 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7613 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7614 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7615 [Richard Levitte]
7616
7617 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7618 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7619 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7620 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7621 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7622
7623 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7624 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7625
7626 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7627 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7628 [Richard Levitte]
7629
7630 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7631 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7632 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7633 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7634 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7635 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7636 [Steve Henson]
7637
7638 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7639 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7640 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7641 [Steve Henson]
7642
7643 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7644 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7645 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7646
7647 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7648 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7649 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7650 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7651 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7652 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7653 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7654 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7655
7656 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7657 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7658 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7659 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7660 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7661 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7662 [Steve Henson]
7663
7664 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7665 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7666 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7667 declaration has been changed from
7668 int (*cb)()
7669 into
7670 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7671 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7672 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7673 has been changed into
7674 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7675
7676 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7677 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7678 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7679
7680 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7681 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7682
7683 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7684 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7685 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7686 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7687 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7688 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7689 always load it have also been added.
7690 [Steve Henson]
7691
7692 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7693 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7694 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7695
7696 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7697
7698 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7699 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7700 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7701
7702 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7703 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7704 command line option can be used to specify an
7705 alternative file.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7709 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7713 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7714 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7715 [Steve Henson]
7716
7717 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7718 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7719 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7720 to work with the new engine framework.
7721 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7722
7723 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7724 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7725 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7726 to work with the new engine framework.
7727 [Richard Levitte]
7728
7729 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7730 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7731 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7732
7733 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7734 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7735
7736 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7737 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7738 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7739 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7740 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7741 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7742
7743 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7744 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7745
7746 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7747 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7748
7749 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7750 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7751 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7752 [Ben Laurie]
7753
7754 *) Add new functions
7755 ERR_peek_last_error
7756 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7757 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7758 These are similar to
7759 ERR_peek_error
7760 ERR_peek_error_line
7761 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7762 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7763 still in the error queue.
7764 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7765
7766 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7767 like:
7768 default_algorithms = ALL
7769 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7770 [Steve Henson]
7771
7772 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7773 [Steve Henson]
7774
7775 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7776 [Steve Henson]
7777
7778 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7779 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7780 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7781 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7782
7783 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7784 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7785
7786 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7787 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7788
7789 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7790 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7791 [Bodo Moeller]
7792
7793 *) New functions/macros
7794
7795 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7796 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7797 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7798 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7799
7800 to request calling a callback function
7801
7802 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7803 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7804
7805 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7806 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7807 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7808 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7809 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7810 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7811 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7812 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7813 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7814 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7815
7816 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7817 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7818 [Bodo Moeller]
7819
7820 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7821 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7822 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7823 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7824 the configuration scripts.
7825
7826 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7827 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7828 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7829
7830 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7831 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7832
7833 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7834 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7835 when reusing an existing buffer.
7836 [Bodo Moeller]
7837
7838 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7839 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7840 [Steve Henson]
7841
7842 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7843 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7844 [Ben Laurie]
7845
7846 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7847 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7848 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7849 has the same effect.
7850 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7851
7852 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7853 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7854 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7855 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7856 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7857 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7858 exception.
7859
7860 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7861 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7862 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7863 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7864
7865 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7866 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7867 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7868 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7869
7870 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7871 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7872 won't work.
7873
7874 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7875 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7876 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7877 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7878 default), and then completely removed.
7879 [Richard Levitte]
7880
7881 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7882 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7883 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7884 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7885 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7886 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7887 particular extension is supported.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7891 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7892 [Steve Henson]
7893
7894 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7895 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7896 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7897 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7898 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7899 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7900 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7901 requires the destination to be valid.
7902
7903 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7904 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7905 [Steve Henson]
7906
7907 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7908 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7909 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7910 [Bodo Moeller]
7911
7912 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7913 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7914
7915 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7916 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7917 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7918 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7919 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7920 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7921 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7922 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7923 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7924 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7925 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7926 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7927 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7928 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7929 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7930 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7931 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7932 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7933 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7934 the new code.
7935 [Geoff Thorpe]
7936
7937 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7938 [Steve Henson]
7939
7940 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7941 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7942 become part of libeay.num as well.
7943 [Richard Levitte]
7944
7945 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7946 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7947 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7948 false once a handshake has been completed.
7949 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7950 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7951 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7952 client has followed the request.)
7953 [Bodo Moeller]
7954
7955 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7956 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7957 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7958 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7959
7960 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7961 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7962 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7963 [Bodo Moeller]
7964
7965 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7966 [Steve Henson]
7967
7968 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7969 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7970 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7971 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7972
7973 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7974 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7975 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7976
7977 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7978 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7979 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7980 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7981 [Geoff Thorpe]
7982
7983 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7984 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7985 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7986 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7987 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7988 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7989 [Geoff Thorpe]
7990
7991 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7992 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7993 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7994 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7995 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7996 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7997 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7998 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7999 [Geoff Thorpe]
8000
8001 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
8002 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
8003 [Geoff Thorpe]
8004
8005 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
8006 [Ben Laurie]
8007
8008 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
8009 md_data void pointer.
8010 [Ben Laurie]
8011
8012 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
8013 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
8014 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
8015 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
8016 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
8017 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
8018 [Ben Laurie]
8019
8020 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
8021 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
8022 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
8023 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
8024 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
8025 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
8026 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
8027 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
8028 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
8029 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
8030 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
8031 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
8032 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
8033 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
8034 rather than letting it slide.
8035
8036 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
8037 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
8038 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
8039 [Geoff Thorpe]
8040
8041 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
8042 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
8043 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
8044 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
8045 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
8046 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
8047 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
8048 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
8049 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
8050 [Geoff Thorpe]
8051
8052 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
8053 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
8054 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
8055 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
8056 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
8057
8058 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
8059 [Geoff Thorpe]
8060
8061 *) Add EVP test program.
8062 [Ben Laurie]
8063
8064 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
8065 [Ben Laurie]
8066
8067 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
8068 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
8069 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
8070 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
8071 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
8072 [Steve Henson]
8073
8074 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
8075 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
8076 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
8077 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
8078 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
8079 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
8080 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
8081
8082 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
8083 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
8084 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
8085 Usage example:
8086
8087 EVP_MD_CTX md;
8088
8089 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
8090 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
8091 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
8092 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
8093 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
8094
8095 [Ben Laurie]
8096
8097 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
8098 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
8099 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
8100 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
8101 anyway): E.g.,
8102
8103 des_key_schedule ks;
8104
8105 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
8106 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
8107
8108 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
8109 [Ben Laurie]
8110
8111 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
8112 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
8113 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
8114 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
8115 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
8116 functions prevents this.
8117 [Steve Henson]
8118
8119 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
8120 [Ben Laurie]
8121
8122 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
8123 correct _ecb suffix.
8124 [Ben Laurie]
8125
8126 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
8127 revocation information is handled using the text based index
8128 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
8129 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
8130 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
8131 [Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
8134 [Richard Levitte]
8135
8136 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8137 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8138 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8139 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8140
8141 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8142 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8143
8144 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8145 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8146 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8147 via Richard Levitte]
8148
8149 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8150 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8151 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8152 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8153 [Geoff Thorpe]
8154
8155 *) Speed up EVP routines.
8156 Before:
8157 encrypt

8171 [Ben Laurie]
8172
8173 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8174 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8175
8176 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8177 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8178 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8179 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8180 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8181 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8182 [Steve Henson]
8183
8184 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8185 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8186 [Richard Levitte]
8187
8188 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8189 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8190 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8191 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8192
8193 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8194 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8195 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8196 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8197 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8198 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8199 callback.
8200 [Richard Levitte]
8201
8202 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8203 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8204 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8205 and interrupts/cancellations.
8206 [Richard Levitte]
8207
8208 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8209 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8210 [Steve Henson]
8211
8212 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8213 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8214 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8215
8216 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8217 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8218 kind of callback.
8219 [Richard Levitte]
8220
8221 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8222 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8223 than this minimum value is recommended.
8224 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8225
8226 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8227 that are easily reachable.
8228 [Richard Levitte]
8229
8230 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8231 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8232
8233 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8234
8235 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8236 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8237 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8238 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8239 [Steve Henson]
8240
8241 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8242 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8243 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8244 [Steve Henson]
8245
8246 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8247 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8248 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8249 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8250 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8251 internally such as S/MIME.
8252
8253 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8254 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8255 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8256
8257 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8258 applications.
8259 [Steve Henson]
8260
8261 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8262 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8263 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8264 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8265
8266 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8267
8268 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8269
8270 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8271 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8272 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8273 handling.
8274 [Steve Henson]
8275
8276 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8277 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8278 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8279 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8280 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8281 a window system and the like.
8282 [Richard Levitte]
8283
8284 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8285 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8286 [Geoff]
8287
8288 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8289 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8290 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8291 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8292 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8293 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8294 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8295 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8296 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8297 ENGINE structure.
8298 [Geoff]
8299
8300 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8301 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8302 tag cache.
8303 [Steve Henson]
8304
8305 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8306 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8307 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8308 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8309 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8310 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8311 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8312 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8313 [Geoff]
8314
8315 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8316 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8317 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8318 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8319 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8320 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8321 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8322 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8323 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8324 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8325 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8326 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8327 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8328 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8329 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8330 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8331 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8332 [Geoff]
8333
8334 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8335 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8336 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8337 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8338 internal engine_int.h header.
8339 [Geoff]
8340
8341 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8342 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8343 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8344 modify their own ones).
8345 [Geoff]
8346
8347 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8348 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8349 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8350 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8351 later on via ctrl() commands.
8352 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8353 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8354 structural references.
8355 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8356 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8357 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8358 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8359 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8360 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8361 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8362 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8363 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8364 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8365 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8366 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8367 [Geoff]
8368
8369 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8370 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8371 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8372 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8373 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8374 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8375 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8376 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8377 [Bodo Moeller]
8378
8379 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8380 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8381 [Steve Henson]
8382
8383 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8384 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8385 [Steve Henson]
8386
8387 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8388 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8389 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8390 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8391 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8392 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8393 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8394 [Steve Henson]
8395
8396 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8397 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8398 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8399 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8400 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8401
8402 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8403 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8404 generator).
8405 [Bodo Moeller]
8406
8407 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8408
8409 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8410 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8411 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8412
8413 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8414 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8415
8416 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8417 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8418 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8419
8420 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8421 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8422
8423 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8424 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8425
8426 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8427
8428 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8429 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8430 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8431 [Bodo Moeller]
8432
8433 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8434 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8435 [Richard Levitte]
8436
8437 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8438 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8439 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8440 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8441 is 40 of more characters long.
8442 [Steve Henson]
8443
8444 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8445 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8446 pointers.
8447 [Steve Henson]
8448
8449 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8450 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8451 [Bodo Moeller]
8452
8453 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8454 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8455 might.
8456 [Steve Henson]
8457
8458 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8459
8460 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8461 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8462
8463 ASN1 error codes
8464 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8465 ...
8466 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8467 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8468 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8469 ...
8470 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8471 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8472
8473 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8474 [Bodo Moeller]
8475
8476 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8477 suffices.
8478 [Bodo Moeller]
8479
8480 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8481 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8482 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8483 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8484 and
8485 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8486
8487 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8488 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8489
8490 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8491 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8492 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8493 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8494 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8495 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8496
8497 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8498 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8499
8500 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8501 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8502
8503 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8504 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8505
8506 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8507 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8508 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8509 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8510
8511 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8512 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8513
8514 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8515 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8516
8517 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8518 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8519 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8520 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8521 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8522 [Richard Levitte]
8523
8524 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8525 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8526 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8527 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8528 [Steve Henson]
8529
8530 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8531 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8532 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8533 trust settings.
8534 [Steve Henson]
8535
8536 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8537 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8538 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8539 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8540 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8541 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8542 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8543 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8544 ocsp utility.
8545 [Steve Henson]
8546
8547 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8548 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8549 [Steve Henson]
8550
8551 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8552 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8553 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8554 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8555 [Steve Henson]
8556
8557 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8558 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8559 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8560 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8561 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8562 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8563 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8564 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8565 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8566 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8567 [Steve Henson]
8568
8569 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8570 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8571 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8572 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8573 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8574 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8575 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8576 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8577
8578 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8579 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8580 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8581 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8582 [Richard Levitte]
8583
8584 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8585 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8586 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8587 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8588 opensslconf.h.
8589 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8590 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8591 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8592 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8593 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8594 what is available.
8595 [Richard Levitte]
8596
8597 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8598 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8599 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8600 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8601 auto incremented.
8602 [Steve Henson]
8603
8604 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8605 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8606 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8607 [Steve Henson]
8608
8609 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8610 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8611 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8612 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8613 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8614 [Steve Henson]
8615
8616 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8617 [Steve Henson]
8618
8619 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8620 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8621 option to ocsp utility.
8622 [Steve Henson]
8623
8624 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8625 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8626 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8627 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8628 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8629 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8630 the request is nonce-less.
8631 [Steve Henson]
8632
8633 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8634 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8635 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8636 [Bodo Moeller]
8637
8638 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8639 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8640 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8644 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8645 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8646 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8647 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8648 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8649
8650 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8651 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8652 appear to exist.
8653 [Steve Henson]
8654
8655 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8656 additional certificates supplied.
8657 [Steve Henson]
8658
8659 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8660 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8661 signature against.
8662 [Richard Levitte]
8663
8664 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8665 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8666 AES OIDs.
8667
8668 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8669 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8670 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8671 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8672 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8673 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8674 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8675 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8676 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8677
8678 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8679 request to response.
8680 [Steve Henson]
8681
8682 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8683 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8684 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8685 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8686 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8687 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8688 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8689 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8690 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8691 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8692 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8693 [Steve Henson]
8694
8695 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8696 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8697 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8698 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8699 [Steve Henson]
8700
8701 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8702 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8703
8704 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8705 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8706 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8707 [Steve Henson]
8708
8709 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8710 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8711 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8712 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8713 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8714
8715 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8716 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8717 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8718 [Steve Henson]
8719
8720 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8721 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8722 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8723 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8724 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8725 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8726 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8727 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8728
8729 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8730 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8731 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8732 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8733 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8734 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8735 [Steve Henson]
8736
8737 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8738 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8739 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8740 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8741 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8742 printout format cleaned up.
8743 [Steve Henson]
8744
8745 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8746 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8747 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8748 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8749 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8750 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8751 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8752 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8753 [Steve Henson]
8754
8755 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8756 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8757 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8758 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8759 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8760 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8761 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8762 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8763 [Steve Henson]
8764
8765 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8766 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8767 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8768 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8769 section to use.
8770 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8771
8772 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8773 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8774 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8775 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8776 [Steve Henson]
8777
8778 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8779 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8780 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8781 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8782 in the index file.
8783 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8784
8785 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8786 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8787 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8788 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8789
8790 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8791 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8792
8793 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8794 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8795 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8796 [Steve Henson]
8797
8798 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8799 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8800 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8801 [Bodo Moeller]
8802
8803 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8804 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8805 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8806 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8807 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8808 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8809 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8810 functions are provided:
8811
8812 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8813 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8814 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8815 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8816
8817 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8818 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8819 extended allocation function is enabled.
8820 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8821 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8822 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8823
8824 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8825 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8826 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8827 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8828 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8829 [Geoff Thorpe]
8830
8831 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8832 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8833 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8834 be queried.
8835 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8836 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8837 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8838 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8839
8840 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8841 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8842 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8843 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8844 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8845 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8846 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8847 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8848 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8849 [Richard Levitte]
8850
8851 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8852 provide utility functions which an application needing
8853 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8854 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8855 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8856
8857 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8858 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8859 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8860 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8861 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8862 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8863 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8864 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8865 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8866
8867 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8868 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8869 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8870 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8871 [Steve Henson]
8872
8873 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8874 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8875 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8876 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8877 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8878 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8879 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8880 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8881 will be added elsewhere.
8882 [Steve Henson]
8883
8884 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8885 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8886 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8887 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8888 [Steve Henson]
8889
8890 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8891 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8892 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8893 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8894 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8895 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8896 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8897 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8898 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8899 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8900 to produce the required SET OF.
8901 [Steve Henson]
8902
8903 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8904 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8905 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8906 [Richard Levitte]
8907
8908 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8909 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8910 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8911 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8912 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8913 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8914 [Steve Henson]
8915
8916 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8917 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8918 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8919 [Steve Henson]
8920
8921 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8922 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8923 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8924 [Richard Levitte]
8925
8926 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8927 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8928 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8929 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8930 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8931 [Steve Henson]
8932
8933 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8934 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8935 [Steve Henson]
8936
8937 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8938 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8939 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8940 certificates and CRLs.
8941 [Steve Henson]
8942
8943 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8944 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8945 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8946 [Steve Henson]
8947
8948 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8949 entries for variables.
8950 [Steve Henson]
8951
8952 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8953 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8954 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8955 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8956 [Bodo Moeller]
8957
8958 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8959 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8960 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8961 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8962 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8963 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8964 [Bodo Moeller]
8965
8966 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8967 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8968
8969 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8970 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8971 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8972 [Steve Henson]
8973
8974 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8975 print routines.
8976 [Steve Henson]
8977
8978 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8979 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8980 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8981 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8982 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8983 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8984 [Steve Henson]
8985
8986 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8987 [Steve Henson]
8988
8989 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8990 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8991 for now but they will eventually go away.
8992 [Steve Henson]
8993
8994 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8995 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8996 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8997 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8998 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8999 has also been converted to the new form.
9000 [Steve Henson]
9001
9002 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
9003 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
9004 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
9005 for negative moduli.
9006 [Bodo Moeller]
9007
9008 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
9009 of not touching the result's sign bit.
9010 [Bodo Moeller]
9011
9012 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
9013 set.
9014 [Bodo Moeller]
9015
9016 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
9017 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
9018 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
9019 type-specific callbacks.
9020 [Geoff Thorpe]
9021
9022 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
9023 RFC 2712.
9024 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
9025 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
9026
9027 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
9028 in sections depending on the subject.
9029 [Richard Levitte]
9030
9031 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
9032 Windows.
9033 [Richard Levitte]
9034
9035 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
9036 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
9037 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
9038 be handled deterministically).
9039 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9040
9041 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
9042 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
9043 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
9044 [Bodo Moeller]
9045
9046 *) New function BN_kronecker.
9047 [Bodo Moeller]
9048
9049 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
9050 positive unless both parameters are zero.
9051 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
9052 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
9053 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
9054 [Bodo Moeller]
9055
9056 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
9057 sign of the number in question.
9058
9059 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
9060
9061 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
9062 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
9063 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
9064 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
9065 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
9066 [Bodo Moeller]
9067
9068 *) New function BN_swap.
9069 [Bodo Moeller]
9070
9071 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
9072 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
9073 results on negative inputs.
9074 [Bodo Moeller]
9075
9076 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
9077 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
9078 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
9079 [Bodo Moeller]
9080
9081 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
9082 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
9083 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
9084 and add new functions:
9085
9086 BN_nnmod
9087 BN_mod_sqr
9088 BN_mod_add
9089 BN_mod_add_quick
9090 BN_mod_sub
9091 BN_mod_sub_quick
9092 BN_mod_lshift1
9093 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
9094 BN_mod_lshift
9095 BN_mod_lshift_quick
9096
9097 These functions always generate non-negative results.
9098
9099 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
9100 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
9101
9102 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
9103 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
9104 be reduced modulo m.
9105 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
9106
9107 #if 0
9108 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
9109 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
9110 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
9111
9112 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
9113 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
9114 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
9115 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
9116 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
9117 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
9118 differing sizes.
9119 [Richard Levitte]
9120 #endif
9121
9122 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
9123 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
9124 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
9125 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
9126 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
9127
9128 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
9129 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
9130 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
9131 cause any problems.
9132 [Bodo Moeller]
9133
9134 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9135 [Richard Levitte]
9136
9137 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9138 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9139 [Richard Levitte]
9140
9141 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9142 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9143 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9144 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9145 time)
9146 [Richard Levitte]
9147
9148 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9149 [Richard Levitte]
9150
9151 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9152 [Richard Levitte]
9153
9154 *) Add the following functions:
9155
9156 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9157 ENGINE_load_chil()
9158 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9159 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9160 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9161
9162 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9163 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9164 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9165 libraries unless it's really needed.
9166
9167 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9168 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9169 declarations (they differed!).
9170 [Richard Levitte]
9171
9172 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9173 [Richard Levitte]
9174
9175 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9176 [Richard Levitte]
9177
9178 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9179 [Bodo Moeller]
9180
9181 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9182 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9183 [Richard Levitte]
9184
9185 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9186 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9187 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9188
9189 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9190 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9191 [Richard Levitte]
9192
9193 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9194 [Richard Levitte]
9195
9196 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9197 [Richard Levitte]
9198
9199 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9200 [Ben Laurie]
9201
9202 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9203 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9204 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9205
9206 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9207 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9208 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9209 different shared library filenames on each system.
9210 [Geoff Thorpe]
9211
9212 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9213 [Richard Levitte]
9214
9215 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9216 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9217 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9218 of two sections.
9219 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9220
9221 *) NCONF changes.
9222 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9223 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9224 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9225 binary backward compatibility.
9226 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9227 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9228 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9229 LDAP server.
9230 [Richard Levitte]
9231
9232 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9233 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9234 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9235 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9236 this case.
9237 [Steve Henson]
9238
9239 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9240 [Ben Laurie]
9241
9242 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9243 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9244 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9245 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9246 set.
9247 [Steve Henson]
9248
9249 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9250 [Richard Levitte]
9251
9252 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9253
9254 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9255 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9256 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9257
9258 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9259
9260 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9261
9262 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9263 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9264 [Steve Henson]
9265
9266 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9267
9268 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9269
9270 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9271 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9272
9273 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9274 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9275
9276 [Steve Henson]
9277
9278 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9279 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9280 specifications.
9281 [Steve Henson]
9282
9283 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9284 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9285 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9286 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9287
9288 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9289 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9290 [Richard Levitte]
9291
9292 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9293
9294 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9295 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9296 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9297 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9298 [Bodo Moeller]
9299
9300 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9301 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9302 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9303 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9304 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9305
9306 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9307 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9308 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9309 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9310 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9311 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9312 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9313 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9314 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9315 [Bodo Moeller]
9316
9317 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9318
9319 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9320 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9321 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9322 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9323 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9324
9325 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9326 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9327 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9328
9329 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9330
9331 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9332 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9333 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9334 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9335 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9336 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9337 [Geoff Thorpe]
9338
9339 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9340 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9341 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9342 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9343 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9344 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9345
9346 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9347 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9348 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9349
9350 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9351 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9352 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9353 EVP_cleanup().
9354 [Richard Levitte]
9355
9356 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9357 being properly terminated.
9358 [Richard Levitte]
9359
9360 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9361 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9362 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9363 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9364
9365 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9366 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9367 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9368 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9369 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9370 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9371 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9372 change.
9373 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9374
9375 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9376 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9377 [Bodo Moeller]
9378
9379 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9380 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9381 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9382 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9383 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9384 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9385 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9386 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9387
9388 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9389 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9390 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9391 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9392 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9393
9394 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9395 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9396 [Steve Henson]
9397
9398 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9399
9400 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9401 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9402 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9403
9404 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9405
9406 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9407 and get fix the header length calculation.
9408 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9409 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9410 Steve Henson]
9411
9412 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9413 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9414 assertions could call abort()).
9415 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9416
9417 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9418
9419 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9420 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9421 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9422 supplied buffer.
9423 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9424
9425 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9426 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9427 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9428 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9429
9430 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9431 [Nils Larsch]
9432
9433 *) New option
9434 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9435 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9436 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9437
9438 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9439 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9440 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9441 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9442 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9443 applications.
9444 [Bodo Moeller]
9445
9446 *) Changes in security patch:
9447
9448 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9449 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9450 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9451 F30602-01-2-0537.
9452
9453 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9454 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9455 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9456 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9457 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9458
9459 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9460 happen in practice.
9461 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9462
9463 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9464 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9465 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9466
9467 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9468 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9469 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9470
9471 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9472 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9473 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9474
9475 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9476
9477 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9478 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9479 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9480
9481 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9482 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9483
9484 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9485 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9486 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9487 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9488 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9489 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9490 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9491
9492 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9493 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9494 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9495 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9496 [Bodo Moeller]
9497
9498 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9499 [Bodo Moeller]
9500
9501 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9502 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9503 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9504 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9505 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9506 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9507
9508 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9509 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9510 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9511 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9512 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9513 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9514
9515 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9516 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9517 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9518 BN_generate_prime().)
9519
9520 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9521 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9522 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9523 better.
9524 [Bodo Moeller]
9525
9526 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9527 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9528 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9529
9530 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9531 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9532 when using non-blocking I/O.
9533 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9534
9535 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9536 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9537
9538 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9539 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9540 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9541
9542 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9543 configuration for the versions before that.
9544 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9545
9546 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9547 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9548 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9549 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9550 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9551
9552 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9553 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9554 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9555 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9556
9557 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9558 value is 0.
9559 [Richard Levitte]
9560
9561 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9562 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9563 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9564
9565 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9566 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9567
9568 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9569 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9570 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9571 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9572 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9573 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9574 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9575 session cache.
9576
9577 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9578 using a local variable.
9579 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9580
9581 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9582 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9583 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9584
9585 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9586 [Richard Levitte]
9587
9588 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9589 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9590
9591 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9592 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9593 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9594
9595 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9596
9597 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9598 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9599 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9600 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9601 [Bodo Moeller]
9602
9603 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9604 present.
9605 [Steve Henson]
9606
9607 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9608 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9609 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9610 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9611 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9612
9613 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9614 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9615 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9616
9617 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9618 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9619 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9620
9621 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9622 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9623 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9624 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9625
9626 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9627 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9628 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9629 modules).
9630 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9631
9632 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9633 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9634 from 0.9.7.
9635 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9636
9637 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9638 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9639 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9640 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9641
9642 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9643 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9644 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9645 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9646
9647 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9648 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9649
9650 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9651 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9652 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9653 [Bodo Moeller]
9654
9655 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9656 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9657 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9658 become invalid.
9659 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9660
9661 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9662 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9663 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9664 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9665 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9666 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9667 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9668 [Bodo Moeller]
9669
9670 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9671 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9672 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9673 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9674
9675 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9676 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9677 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9678 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9679 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9680 the client will at least see that alert.
9681 [Bodo Moeller]
9682
9683 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9684 correctly.
9685 [Bodo Moeller]
9686
9687 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9688 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9689 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9690
9691 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9692 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9693 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9694 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9695 HelloRequest.
9696
9697 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9698 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9699 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9700
9701 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9702 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9703 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9704 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9705 may leak via logfiles.)
9706
9707 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9708 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9709 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9710 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9711 the legal range.
9712 [Bodo Moeller]
9713
9714 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9715 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9716 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9717
9718 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9719 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9720 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9721 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9722 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9723 [Bodo Moeller]
9724
9725 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9726 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9727
9728 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9729 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9730 followed by modular reduction.
9731 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9732
9733 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9734 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9735 [Bodo Moeller]
9736
9737 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9738 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9739 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9740 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9741 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9742
9743 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9744 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9745
9746 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9747 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9749
9750 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9751 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9752 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9753 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9754 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9755 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9756 automatically.
9757 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9758
9759 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9760 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9761 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9762 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9763 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9764
9765 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9766 [Andy Polyakov]
9767
9768 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9769 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9770 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9771 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9772 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9773 to allow the necessary settings.
9774 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9775
9776 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9777 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9778 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9779 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9780 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9781
9782 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9783 dh->length and always used
9784
9785 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9786
9787 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9788 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9789 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9790 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9791 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9792 dh->length.
9793
9794 So switch back to
9795
9796 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9797
9798 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9799 otherwise.
9800 [Bodo Moeller]
9801
9802 *) In
9803
9804 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9805 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9806 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9807 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9808
9809 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9810 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9811 always reject numbers >= n.
9812 [Bodo Moeller]
9813
9814 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9815 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9816 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9817 variable) is not atomic.
9818 [Bodo Moeller]
9819
9820 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9821 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9822 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9823 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9824
9825 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9826 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9827
9828 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9829 little-endian MIPS.
9830 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9831
9832 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9833 [Richard Levitte]
9834
9835 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9836
9837 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9838 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9839 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9840 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9841 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9842 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9843 to traverse all of 'state'.
9844
9845 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9846 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9847 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9848
9849 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9850 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9851
9852 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9853 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9854 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9855 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9856 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9857 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9858 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9859 further strengthens the PRNG.
9860 [Bodo Moeller]
9861
9862 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9863 [Andy Polyakov]
9864
9865 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9866 an error message in this case.
9867 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9868
9869 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9870 [Steve Henson]
9871
9872 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9873 positive and less than q.
9874 [Bodo Moeller]
9875
9876 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9877 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9878 that itself.
9879 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9880
9881 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9882 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9883 [Bodo Moeller]
9884
9885 *) Fix OAEP check.
9886 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9887
9888 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9889 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9890 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9891 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9892 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9893 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9894 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9895 paper.)
9896
9897 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9898 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9899 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9900 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9901
9902 Both problems are now fixed.
9903 [Bodo Moeller]
9904
9905 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9906 (previously it was 1024).
9907 [Bodo Moeller]
9908
9909 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9910 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9911 [Steve Henson]
9912
9913 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9914 [Steve Henson]
9915
9916 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9917 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9918 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9922 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9923 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9924 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9925 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9926 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9927 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9928 environment variables.
9929
9930 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9931 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9932 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9933 [Bodo Moeller]
9934
9935 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9936 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9937 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9938 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9939 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9940 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9941 [Bodo Moeller]
9942
9943 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9944 versions of 'test'.
9945 [Bodo Moeller]
9946
9947 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9948
9949 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9950 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9951
9952 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9953 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9954 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9955 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9956 CygWin.
9957 [Richard Levitte]
9958
9959 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9960 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9961 amount of data available.
9962 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9963 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9964
9965 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9966 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9967 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9968 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9969 [Bodo Moeller]
9970
9971 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9972 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9973 and UnixWare.
9974 [Richard Levitte]
9975
9976 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9977 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9978 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9979 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9980 [Ulf Moeller]
9981
9982 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9983 [Andy Polyakov]
9984
9985 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9986 [Richard Levitte]
9987
9988 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9989 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9990 [Steve Henson]
9991 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9992
9993 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9994 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9995 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9996 (but broken) behaviour.
9997 [Steve Henson]
9998
9999 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
10000 it when found.
10001 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
10002
10003 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
10004 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
10005 [Bodo Moeller]
10006
10007 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
10008 did not exist.
10009 [Bodo Moeller]
10010
10011 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
10012 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
10013
10014 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
10015 [Richard Levitte]
10016
10017 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
10018 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
10019 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
10020
10021 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
10022 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
10023 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
10024 [Steve Henson]
10025
10026 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
10027 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
10028 [Ulf Moeller]
10029
10030 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
10031 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
10032
10033 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
10034
10035 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
10036
10037 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
10038 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
10039 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
10040 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
10041 [Bodo Moeller]
10042
10043 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
10044 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10045
10046 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
10047 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
10048 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10049
10050 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
10051 was empty.
10052 [Steve Henson]
10053 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10054
10055 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
10056 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
10057 but the code is actually correct.
10058 [Steve Henson]
10059
10060 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
10061 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
10062 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
10063 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
10064 and leaves the highest bit random.
10065 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10066
10067 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
10068 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
10069 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
10070 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
10071 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
10072 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
10073 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
10074 [Bodo Moeller]
10075
10076 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
10077 [Ulf Moeller]
10078
10079 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
10080 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
10081 [Steve Henson]
10082
10083 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
10084 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
10085 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
10086 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
10087 headers.
10088 [Richard Levitte]
10089
10090 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
10091 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
10092 and break the signature.
10093 [Steve Henson]
10094 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
10095
10096 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
10097 DH ciphersuites.
10098 [Steve Henson]
10099
10100 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
10101 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
10102 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
10103 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
10104 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
10105 [Bodo Moeller]
10106
10107 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
10108 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
10109
10110 *) ./config script fixes.
10111 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
10112
10113 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
10114 [Bodo Moeller]
10115
10116 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
10117 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
10118 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
10119 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
10120 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
10121
10122 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
10123 call failed, free the DSA structure.
10124 [Bodo Moeller]
10125
10126 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
10127 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
10128 [Steve Henson]
10129
10130 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
10131 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
10132 when writing a 32767 byte record.
10133 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
10134
10135 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10136 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10137
10138 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10139 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10140 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10141 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10142 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10143
10144 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10145 [Bodo Moeller]
10146
10147 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10148 [Ulf Möller]
10149
10150 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10151 [Ulf Möller]
10152
10153 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10154 [Bodo Moeller]
10155
10156 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10157 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10158 [Bodo Moeller]
10159
10160 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10161 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10162 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10163 result of the server certificate verification.)
10164 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10165
10166 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10167 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10168 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10169 [Bodo Moeller]
10170
10171 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10172 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10173 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10174 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10175 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10176 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10177 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10178 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10179 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10180 [Bodo Moeller]
10181
10182 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10183 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10184 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10185 happening the other way round.
10186 [Geoff Thorpe]
10187
10188 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10189 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10190 [Bodo Moeller]
10191
10192 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10193 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10194 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10195 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10196 [Richard Levitte]
10197
10198 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10199 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10200
10201 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10202
10203 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10204 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10205 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10206 that.
10207
10208 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10209
10210 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10211
10212 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10213 static ones.
10214 [Richard Levitte]
10215
10216 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10217
10218 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10219 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10220 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10221 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10222 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10223
10224 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10225 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10226 matter what.
10227 [Richard Levitte]
10228
10229 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10231
10232 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10233
10234 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10235 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10236 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10237 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10238 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10239 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10240 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10241 by the Finished messages.
10242 [Bodo Moeller]
10243
10244 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10245 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10246
10247 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10248 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10249 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10250 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10251 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10252 appropriately.
10253 [Steve Henson]
10254
10255 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10256 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10257 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10258 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10259 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10260 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10261 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10262 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10263 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10264 together.
10265 [Steve Henson]
10266
10267 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10268 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10269 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10270 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10271
10272 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10273 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10274 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10275 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10276 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10277 the answer.
10278
10279 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10280 been tested well enough.
10281 [Richard Levitte]
10282
10283 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10284 it can return incorrect results.
10285 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10286 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10287 [Bodo Moeller]
10288
10289 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10290 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10291 include zero length content when signing messages.
10292 [Steve Henson]
10293
10294 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10295 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10296 [Bodo Möller]
10297
10298 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10299 [Richard Levitte]
10300
10301 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10302 wrong sign.
10303 [Ulf Möller]
10304
10305 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10306 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10307 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10308 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10309 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10310 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10311 [Richard Levitte]
10312
10313 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10314 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10315
10316 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10317 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10318
10319 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10320 random number < q in the DSA library.
10321 [Ulf Möller]
10322
10323 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10324 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10325 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10326 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10327 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10328 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10329 just makes things more complicated.)
10330 [Bodo Moeller]
10331
10332 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10333 from EGD.
10334 [Ben Laurie]
10335
10336 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10337 work better on such systems.
10338 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10339
10340 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10341 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10342 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10343 [Steve Henson]
10344
10345 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10346 if there was more than one signature.
10347 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10348
10349 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10350 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10351 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10352 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10353 [Richard Levitte]
10354
10355 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10356 rather than always using the current time.
10357 [Steve Henson]
10358
10359 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10360 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10361 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10362 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10363 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10364 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10365
10366 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10367 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10368
10369 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10370
10371 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10372 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10373 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10374 the same hash value.
10375
10376 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10377 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10378 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10379 with X509_STORE internally.
10380
10381 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10382 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10383
10384 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10385 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10386 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10387 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10388 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10389 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10390 entirely (maybe later...).
10391
10392 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10393
10394 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10395 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10396 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10397 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10398 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10399 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10400 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10401 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10402
10403 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10404 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10405
10406 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10407 to customise the verify behaviour.
10408 [Steve Henson]
10409
10410 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10411 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10412 [Steve Henson]
10413
10414 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10415 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10416 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10417 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10418 request is improperly encoded.
10419 [Steve Henson]
10420
10421 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10422 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10423 BIO_write(b, ...).
10424
10425 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10426 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10427
10428 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10429 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10430 words set to zero.)
10431 [Bodo Moeller]
10432
10433 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10434 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10435 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10436 [Bodo Moeller]
10437
10438 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10439 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10440 BIO/fp routines also added.
10441 [Steve Henson]
10442
10443 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10444 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10445
10446 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10447 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10448 demos/state_machine.
10449 [Ben Laurie]
10450
10451 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10452 generation and verification.
10453 [Steve Henson]
10454
10455 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10456 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10457 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10458 encode and decode it manually.
10459 [Steve Henson]
10460
10461 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10462 compile under VC++.
10463 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10464
10465 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10466 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10467 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10468 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10469
10470 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10471 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10472 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10473 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10474 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10475 [Steve Henson]
10476
10477 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10478 [Richard Levitte]
10479
10480 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10481 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10482 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10483
10484 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10485 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10486 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10487 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10488 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10489 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10490 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10491 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10492
10493 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10494 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10495
10496 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10497
10498 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10499 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10500 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10501
10502 [Richard Levitte]
10503
10504 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10505 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10506 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10507 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10508 [Richard Levitte]
10509
10510 *) MD4 implemented.
10511 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10512
10513 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10514 [Richard Levitte]
10515
10516 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10517 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10518 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10519 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10520 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10521 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10522 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10523 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10524 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10525 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10526 short or long names are found.
10527 [Steve Henson]
10528
10529 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10530 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10531
10532 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10533 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10534 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10535 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10536
10537 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10538 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10539 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10540 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10541 [Bodo Moeller]
10542
10543 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10544 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10545 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10546 [Richard Levitte]
10547
10548 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10549 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10550 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10551 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10552 to allow the various flags to be set.
10553 [Steve Henson]
10554
10555 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10556 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10557 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10558 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10559 dates to be checked.
10560 [Steve Henson]
10561
10562 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10563 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10564 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10565 [Steve Henson]
10566
10567 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10568 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10569 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10570 [Steve Henson]
10571
10572 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10573 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10574 [Bodo Moeller]
10575
10576 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10577 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10578 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10579 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10580 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10581 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10582 [Richard Levitte]
10583
10584 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10585 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10586 Random Numbers.
10587 [Ulf Möller]
10588
10589 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10590 DSA key.
10591 [Steve Henson]
10592
10593 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10594 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10595 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10596 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10597 form signing output easier to verify.
10598 [Steve Henson]
10599
10600 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10601 [Steve Henson]
10602
10603 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10604 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10605 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10606 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10607 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10608 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10609 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10610 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10611 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10612 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10613 [Steve Henson]
10614
10615 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10616
10617 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10618 the syntax given in objects.README.
10619 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10620 obj_mac.h.
10621 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10622 obj_mac.h.
10623
10624 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10625 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10626 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10627 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10628 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10629 consistent name changes.
10630 [Richard Levitte]
10631
10632 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10633 [Bodo Moeller]
10634
10635 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10636 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10637 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10638 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10639 [Richard Levitte]
10640
10641 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10642 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10643 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10644 of safestack.h .
10645 [Steve Henson]
10646
10647 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10648 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10649 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10650 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10651 [Steve Henson]
10652
10653 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10654 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10655 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10656 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10657 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10658 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10659 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10660 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10661 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10662 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10663 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10664 [Steve Henson]
10665
10666 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10667 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10668 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10669 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10670 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10671 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10672 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10673 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10674 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10675 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10676 [Steve Henson]
10677
10678 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10679 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10680 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10681 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10682
10683 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10684 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10685 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10686 omit any duplicate addresses.
10687 [Steve Henson]
10688
10689 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10690 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10691 [Bodo Moeller]
10692
10693 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10694 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10695 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10696 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10697 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10698 [Bodo Moeller]
10699
10700 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10701 software:
10702 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10703 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10704 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10705 Free => OPENSSL_free
10706 [Richard Levitte]
10707
10708 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10709 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10710 [Bodo Moeller]
10711
10712 *) CygWin32 support.
10713 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10714
10715 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10716 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10717 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10718 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10719 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10720 approach.
10721 [Geoff Thorpe]
10722
10723 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10724 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10725 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10726 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10727 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10728 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10729 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10730 [Geoff Thorpe]
10731
10732 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10733 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10734 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10735 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10736 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10737 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10738 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10739 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10740 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10741 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10742 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10743 [Bodo Moeller]
10744
10745 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10746 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10747 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10748 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10749 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10750
10751 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10752 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10753 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10754 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10755 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10756
10757 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10758 ciphers.
10759
10760 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10761 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10762 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10763 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10764
10765 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10766
10767 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10768 of macros.
10769
10770 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10771 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10772 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10773 flags.
10774
10775 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10776 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10777 any installed hardware versions can.
10778 [Steve Henson]
10779
10780 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10781 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10782 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10783 number.
10784 [Bodo Moeller]
10785
10786 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10787 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10788 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10789 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10790 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10791
10792 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10793 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10794 [Steve Henson]
10795
10796 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10797 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10798 [Richard Levitte]
10799
10800 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10801 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10802 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10803 features.
10804 [Steve Henson]
10805
10806 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10807 [Ulf Möller]
10808
10809 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10810 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10811 but no ssl client purpose.
10812 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10813
10814 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10815 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10816 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10817 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10818 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10819 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10820 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10821 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10822 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10823 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10824 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10828 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10829 be obtained from the error queue.
10830 [Bodo Moeller]
10831
10832 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10833 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10834 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10835 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10836 [Bodo Moeller]
10837
10838 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10839 [Ulf Möller]
10840
10841 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10842 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10843 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10844 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10845 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10846 [Geoff Thorpe]
10847
10848 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10849 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10850 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10851 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10852 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10853 [Geoff Thorpe]
10854
10855 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10856 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10857 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10858 may not be NULL.
10859 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10860
10861 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10862 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10863 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10864 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10865 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10866 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10867 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10868 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10869 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10870 or "the configuration storage API"...
10871
10872 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10873
10874 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10875 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10876
10877 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10878
10879 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10880
10881 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10882 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10883 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10884 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10885 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10886 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10887 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10888
10889 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10890 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10891 [Richard Levitte]
10892
10893 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10894 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10895 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10896 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10897 [Bodo Moeller]
10898
10899 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10900 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10901 them in a portable way.
10902 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10903
10904 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10905
10906 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10907
10908 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10909 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10910
10911 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10912 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10913 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10914 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10915
10916 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10917 was larger than the MD block size.
10918 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10919
10920 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10921 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10922 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10923 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10924 components.
10925 [Steve Henson]
10926
10927 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10928 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10929 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10930
10931 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10932 discouraged.
10933 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10934
10935 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10936 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10937 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10938 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10939 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10940 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10941
10942 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10943 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10944
10945 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10946 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10947 [Bodo Moeller]
10948
10949 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10950 [Bodo Moeller]
10951
10952 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10953 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10954 its own key.
10955 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10956 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10957 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10958 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10959 [Bodo Moeller]
10960
10961 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10962 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10963 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10964 does not suppress any output.
10965 [Richard Levitte]
10966
10967 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10968 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10969 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10970 with all the associated security issues.
10971
10972 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10973 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10974 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10975 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10976 use the value in the default purpose.
10977 [Steve Henson]
10978
10979 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10980 and fix a memory leak.
10981 [Steve Henson]
10982
10983 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10984 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10985 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10986 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10987 [Bodo Moeller]
10988
10989 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10990 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10991 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10992 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10993 [Bodo Moeller]
10994
10995 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10996 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10997 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10998 [Bodo Moeller]
10999
11000 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
11001 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
11002 [Bodo Moeller]
11003
11004 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
11005 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
11006 which was free.
11007 [Steve Henson]
11008
11009 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
11010 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
11011 [Bodo Moeller]
11012
11013 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
11014 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
11015 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
11016 [Bodo Moeller]
11017
11018 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
11019 number generation fails.
11020 [Bodo Moeller]
11021
11022 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
11023 [Bodo Moeller]
11024
11025 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
11026 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
11027
11028 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
11029 [Ulf Möller]
11030
11031 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
11032 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
11033
11034 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
11035 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
11036
11037 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
11038
11039 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
11040 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
11041 [Steve Henson]
11042
11043 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
11044 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
11045
11046 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
11047 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
11048 [Ulf Möller]
11049
11050 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
11051 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
11052 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
11053 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
11054 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
11055 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
11056
11057 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
11058 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
11059 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
11060 for example.
11061 [Steve Henson]
11062
11063 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
11064 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
11065 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
11066 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
11067 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
11068 counter, some don't.)
11069 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
11070 counters or duplicate objects.
11071 [Steve Henson]
11072
11073 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
11074 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
11075 [Steve Henson]
11076
11077 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
11078 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
11079 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
11080
11081 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
11082 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
11083 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
11084 or -rand.
11085 [Ulf Möller]
11086
11087 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
11088 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
11089 [Steve Henson]
11090
11091 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
11092 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
11093 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
11094 cipher list.
11095 [Steve Henson]
11096
11097 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
11098 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
11099 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
11100 [Steve Henson]
11101
11102 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
11103 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
11104 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
11105 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
11106 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
11107 should work without changes.
11108 [Richard Levitte]
11109
11110 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
11111 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
11112 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
11113 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
11114 must be defined. E.g.,
11115 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
11116 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
11117 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
11118 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
11119
11120 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
11121 record layer.
11122 [Bodo Moeller]
11123
11124 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
11125 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
11126 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
11127 [Steve Henson]
11128
11129 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
11130 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
11131 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
11132 request header lines. Some software needs this.
11133 [Steve Henson]
11134
11135 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11136 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11137 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11138 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11139 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11140 is prompted for as usual.
11141 [Steve Henson]
11142
11143 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11144 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11145 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11146 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11147
11148 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11149 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11150 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11151 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11152 [Steve Henson]
11153
11154 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11155 [Andy Polyakov]
11156
11157 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11158 of seed file.
11159 [Steve Henson]
11160
11161 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11162 [Bodo Moeller]
11163
11164 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11168 bits.
11169 [Ulf Möller]
11170
11171 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11172 [Ulf Möller]
11173
11174 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11175 [Andy Polyakov]
11176
11177 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11178 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11179 [Ulf Möller]
11180
11181 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11182 options to produce them.
11183 [Steve Henson]
11184
11185 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11186 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11187 [Ulf Möller]
11188
11189 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11190 for p == 0.
11191 [Ulf Möller]
11192
11193 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11194 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11195 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11196 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11197 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11198 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11199 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11200 [Steve Henson]
11201
11202 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11203 [Steve Henson]
11204
11205 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11206 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11207 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11208 [Bodo Moeller]
11209
11210 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11211 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11212
11213 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11214 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11215 [Ulf Möller]
11216
11217 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11218 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11219 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11220 has already seen).
11221 [Bodo Moeller]
11222
11223 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11224 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11225
11226 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11227 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11228 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11229 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11230 generation becomes much faster.
11231
11232 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11233 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11234 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11235 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11236 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11237 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11238 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11239 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11240 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11241 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11242 [Bodo Moeller]
11243
11244 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11245 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11246 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11247 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11248 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11249 trial division stage.
11250 [Bodo Moeller]
11251
11252 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11253 as ASN1_TIME.
11254 [Steve Henson]
11255
11256 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11257 [Steve Henson]
11258
11259 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11260 [Ulf Möller]
11261
11262 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11263 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11264 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11265 the comments.
11266 [Ulf Möller]
11267
11268 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11269 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11270 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11271 [Bodo Moeller]
11272
11273 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11274 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11275 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11276 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11277
11278 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11279 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11280 [Steve Henson]
11281
11282 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11283 [Ulf Möller]
11284
11285 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11286 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11287 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11288 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11289 [Ulf Möller]
11290
11291 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11292 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11293 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11294 [Ulf Möller]
11295
11296 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11297 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11298 (instead of parameters) in future.
11299 [Steve Henson]
11300
11301 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11302 when a new cipher list is set.
11303 [Steve Henson]
11304
11305 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11306 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11307 wrong.
11308
11309 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11310 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11311 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11312
11313 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11314 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11315 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11316 an error is flagged.
11317
11318 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11319 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11320 the readability was also increased :-)
11321 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11322
11323 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11324 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11325 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11326 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11327 as the root CA.
11328 [Steve Henson]
11329
11330 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11331 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11335 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11336 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11337 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11338 instead.
11339
11340 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11341 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11342 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11343 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11344 because they handle more complex structures.)
11345 [Steve Henson]
11346
11347 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11348 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11349 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11350 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11351
11352 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11353 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11354 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11355 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11356 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11357 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11358 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11359 [Ulf Möller]
11360
11361 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11362 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11363 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11364 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11365 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11366 [Bodo Moeller]
11367
11368 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11369 [Bodo Moeller]
11370
11371 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11372 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11373 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11374 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11375 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11376 to use this.
11377
11378 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11379 code.
11380 [Steve Henson]
11381
11382 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11383 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11384 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11385 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11386 [Steve Henson]
11387
11388 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11389 [Ulf Möller]
11390
11391 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11392 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11393 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11394 international characters are used.
11395
11396 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11397 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11398 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11399 in ASN1 order.
11400 [Steve Henson]
11401
11402 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11403 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11404 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11405 request.
11406
11407 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11408 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11409 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11410 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11411 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11412 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11413
11414 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11415 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11416 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11417 be handled by the string table functions.
11418
11419 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11420 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11421 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11422 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11423 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11424 types at all.
11425 [Steve Henson]
11426
11427 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11428 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11429 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11430 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11431 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11432
11433 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11434 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11435 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11436 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11437 [Bodo Moeller]
11438
11439 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11440 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11441 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11442 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11443 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11444 SHA1.
11445 [Andy Polyakov]
11446
11447 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11448 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11449 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11450 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11451 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11452 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11453 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11454 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11455
11456 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11457 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11458 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11462 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11463 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11464 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11465 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11466 support to pkcs8 application.
11467 [Steve Henson]
11468
11469 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11470 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11471 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11472 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11473 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11474 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11475 [Bodo Moeller]
11476
11477 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11478 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11479 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11480 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11481 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11482 consistency.
11483 [Bodo Moeller]
11484
11485 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11486 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11487 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11488 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11489 example.
11490 [Steve Henson]
11491
11492 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11493 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11494 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11495 and any application specific purposes.
11496
11497 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11498 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11499 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11500 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11501 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11502 if the certificate is self signed.
11503 [Steve Henson]
11504
11505 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11506 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11507 [Steve Henson]
11508
11509 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11510 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11511 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11512 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11513 [Steve Henson]
11514
11515 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11516 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11517 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11518 Update documentation.
11519 [Steve Henson]
11520
11521 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11522 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11523 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11524 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11525 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11526 [Steve Henson]
11527
11528 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11529 for details.
11530 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11531
11532 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11533 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11534 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11535 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11536 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11537 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11538 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11539 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11540 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11541 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11542
11543 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11544
11545 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11546 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11547 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11548 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11549 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11550
11551 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11552 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11553 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11554 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11555 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11556 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11557 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11558 request additional information:
11559 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11560 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11561
11562 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11563 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11564 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11565 options.
11566
11567 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11568 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11569
11570 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11571 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11572 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11573
11574 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11575 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11576
11577 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11578 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11579 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11580 algorithm.
11581 [Steve Henson]
11582
11583 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11584 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11585 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11586
11587 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11588 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11589 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11590 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11591 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11592 included in OpenSSL.
11593 [Steve Henson]
11594
11595 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11596 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11597 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11598 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11599 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11600 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11601 [Bodo Moeller]
11602
11603 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11604 PKCS12 structure.
11605 [Steve Henson]
11606
11607 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11608 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11609 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11610 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11611 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11612 structure.
11613 [Steve Henson]
11614
11615 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11616 need initialising.
11617 [Steve Henson]
11618
11619 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11620 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11621 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11622 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11623 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11624 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11625 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11626 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11627 be maintained manually.
11628
11629 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11630 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11631 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11632 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11633 work because people forget to call this function]
11634 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11635 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11636 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11640 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11641 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11642 should be discouraged from doing it.
11643 [Ben Laurie]
11644
11645 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11646 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11647 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11648 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11649 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11650 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11651 [Steve Henson]
11652
11653 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11654 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11655 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11656
11657 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11658 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11659 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11660
11661 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11662 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11663 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11664 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11665 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11666 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11667
11668 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11669 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11670 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11671
11672 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11673 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11674 and vice versa.
11675
11676 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11677 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11678 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11679 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11680 [Steve Henson]
11681
11682 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11683 [Steve Henson]
11684
11685 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11686 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11687 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11688 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11689 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11690 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11691 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11692 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11693 keys so we should be OK.
11694
11695 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11696 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11697 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11698 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11699 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11700 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11701 stay in the name of compatibility.
11702
11703 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11704 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11705 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11706
11707 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11708 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11709 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11710 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11711 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11712 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11713 supplied key).
11714 [Steve Henson]
11715
11716 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11717 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11718 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11719 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11720 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11721 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11722 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11723 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11724 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11725 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11726 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11727 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11728 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11729 [Steve Henson]
11730
11731 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11732 [Steve Henson]
11733
11734 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11735 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11736 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11737 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11738 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11739 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11740 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11741 openssl verify ss.pem
11742 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11743 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11744 is OK.
11745 [Steve Henson]
11746
11747 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11748 (and add it to external session representation).
11749 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11750 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11751 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11752 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11753 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11754 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11755 security holes.
11756 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11757
11758 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11759 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11760 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11761 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11762
11763 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11764 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11765 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11766 [Steve Henson]
11767
11768 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11769 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11770 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11771 code.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11775 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11776 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11777
11778 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11779 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11780 certificate auxiliary information.
11781 [Steve Henson]
11782
11783 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11784 the 'enc' command.
11785 [Steve Henson]
11786
11787 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11788 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11789 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11790 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11791 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11792 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11793 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11794 [Richard Levitte]
11795
11796 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11797 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11798 [Steve Henson]
11799
11800 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11801 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11802 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11803 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11804 [Steve Henson]
11805
11806 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11807 [Steve Henson]
11808
11809 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11810 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11811 [Steve Henson]
11812
11813 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11814 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11815 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11816 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11817 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11818 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11819 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11820 using the new 'x509' options.
11821
11822 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11823 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11824 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11825 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11826 for all purposes.
11827 [Steve Henson]
11828
11829 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11830 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11831 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11832 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11833 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11834 [Mark Cox]
11835
11836 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11837 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11838 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11839 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11840 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11841 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11842 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11843 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11844 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11845 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11846 [Steve Henson]
11847
11848 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11849 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11850 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11851 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11852 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11853 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11854 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11855 [Steve Henson]
11856
11857 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11858 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11859 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11860 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11861 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11862 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11863 openssl.cnf for more info.
11864 [Steve Henson]
11865
11866 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11867 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11868 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11869 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11870 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11871 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11872 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11873 md should be large enough anyway.
11874 [Bodo Moeller]
11875
11876 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11877 for handling the random seed file.
11878
11879 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11880 ca,
11881 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11882 s_client,
11883 s_server,
11884 x509 (when signing).
11885 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11886 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11887 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11888
11889 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11890 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11891 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11892 that support '-rand'.
11893 [Bodo Moeller]
11894
11895 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11896 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11897 [Bodo Moeller]
11898
11899 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11900 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11901 [Bill Perry]
11902
11903 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11904 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11905 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11906 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11907 is suitable.
11908 [Steve Henson]
11909
11910 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11911 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11912 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11913 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11914 [Steve Henson]
11915
11916 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11917 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11918 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11919 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11920 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11921 print out all the purposes.
11922 [Steve Henson]
11923
11924 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11925 functions.
11926 [Steve Henson]
11927
11928 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11929 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11930 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11931 single function call.
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11935 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11936 [Andy Polyakov]
11937
11938 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11939 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11940 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11941 [Steve Henson]
11942
11943 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11944 when producing the local key id.
11945 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11946
11947 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11948 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11949 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11950 "server.pem".
11951 [Steve Henson]
11952
11953 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11954 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11955 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11956 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11957 [Steve Henson]
11958
11959 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11960 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11961 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11962 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11963
11964 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11965 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11966 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11967 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11968
11969 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11970 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11971 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11972 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11973 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11974 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11975 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11976 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11977 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11978 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11979 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11980 trivial: move one line.
11981 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11982
11983 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11984 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11985 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11986 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11987 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11988 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11989 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11990 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11991 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11992 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11993 with an event loop for example.
11994 [Steve Henson]
11995
11996 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11997 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11998 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11999 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
12000 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
12001 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
12002 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
12003 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
12004 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
12005 [Steve Henson]
12006
12007 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
12008 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
12009 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
12010 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
12011 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
12012 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
12013 [Steve Henson]
12014
12015 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
12016 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
12017 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
12018 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
12019
12020 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
12021 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
12022 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
12023 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
12024 key generation.
12025 [Steve Henson]
12026
12027 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
12028 (still largely untested)
12029 [Bodo Moeller]
12030
12031 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
12032 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
12033 [Steve Henson]
12034
12035 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
12036 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
12037 [Steve Henson]
12038
12039 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
12040 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
12041 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
12042 [Bodo Moeller]
12043
12044 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
12045 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
12046 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
12047 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
12048 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
12049 [Steve Henson]
12050
12051 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
12052 [Andy Polyakov]
12053
12054 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
12055 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
12056 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
12057 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
12058 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
12059 in ca.
12060 [Steve Henson]
12061
12062 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
12063 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
12064 1.OU="Unit name 1"
12065 2.OU="Unit name 2"
12066 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
12067 [Steve Henson]
12068
12069 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
12070 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
12071 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
12072 are otherwise ignored at present.
12073 [Steve Henson]
12074
12075 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
12076 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
12077 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
12078 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
12079 copied until the next read.
12080 [Steve Henson]
12081
12082 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
12083 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
12084 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
12085 [Steve Henson]
12086
12087 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
12088 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
12089 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
12090 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
12091 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
12092 associated functions.
12093 [Steve Henson]
12094
12095 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
12096 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
12097 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
12098 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
12099 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
12100 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
12101 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
12102 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
12103 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
12104 memory BIOs.
12105 [Steve Henson]
12106
12107 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
12108 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
12109 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
12110 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
12111 [Bodo Moeller]
12112
12113 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
12114 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
12115 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
12116 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
12117 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
12118 functionality.
12119 [Steve Henson]
12120
12121 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
12122 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
12123 under Win32.
12124 [Steve Henson]
12125
12126 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
12127 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
12128 extensions to be obtained and added.
12129 [Steve Henson]
12130
12131 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
12132 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
12133 [Bodo Moeller]
12134
12135 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12136
12137 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12138 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12139
12140 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12141 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12142
12143 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12144 program.
12145 [Steve Henson]
12146
12147 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12148 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12149 DH parameters contain its length).
12150
12151 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12152 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12153 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12154 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12155 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12156 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12157 utter importance to use
12158 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12159 or
12160 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12161 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12162 attacks may become possible!
12163 [Bodo Moeller]
12164
12165 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12166 [Bodo Moeller]
12167
12168 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12169 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12173 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12174 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12175 or long name.
12176 [Steve Henson]
12177
12178 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12179 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12180 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12181 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12182 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12183 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12184 private key operations.
12185 [Steve Henson]
12186
12187 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12188 [Andy Polyakov]
12189
12190 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12191 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12192 to
12193 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12194 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12195 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12196 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12197 the password callback is called.
12198 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12199
12200 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12201
12202 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12203 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12204 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12205 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12206 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12207 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12208 this will work.
12209
12210 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12211 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12212 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12213 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12214 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12215 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12216 [Bodo Moeller]
12217
12218 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12219 [Andy Polyakov]
12220
12221 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12222 delete an unused file.
12223 [Ulf Möller]
12224
12225 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12226 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12227 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12228 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12229 [Steve Henson]
12230
12231 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12232 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12233 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12234 of an error.
12235 [Bodo Moeller]
12236
12237 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12238 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12239 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12240
12241 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12242 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12243 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12244 comparison" warnings.
12245 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12246 [Steve Henson]
12247
12248 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12249 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12250 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12251 [Steve Henson]
12252
12253 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12254 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12255
12256 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12257 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12258
12259 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12260 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12261 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12262
12263 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12264 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12265 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12266 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12267 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12268 this bug.
12269 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12270
12271 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12272 The interface is as follows:
12273 Applications can use
12274 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12275 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12276 "off" is now the default.
12277 The library internally uses
12278 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12279 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12280 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12281
12282 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12283 even the default) are now avoided.
12284
12285 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12286 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12287 than just having a counter.
12288
12289 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12290
12291 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12292 extensions.
12293 [Bodo Moeller]
12294
12295 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12296 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12297 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12298 Initial "mode" flags are:
12299
12300 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12301 a single record has been written.
12302 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12303 retries use the same buffer location.
12304 (But all of the contents must be
12305 copied!)
12306 [Bodo Moeller]
12307
12308 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12309 worked.
12310
12311 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12312 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12313
12314 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12315 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12316 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12317 [Steve Henson]
12318
12319 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12320 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12321 test programs.
12322 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12323
12324 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12325 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12326 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12327 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12328 point to the end.
12329 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12330 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12331
12332 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12333 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12334 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12335 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12336 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12337 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12338 [Steve Henson]
12339
12340 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12341 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12342 necessary function names.
12343 [Steve Henson]
12344
12345 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12346 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12347 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12348 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12349 [Bodo Moeller]
12350
12351 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12352 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12353 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12354 [Steve Henson]
12355
12356 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12357 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12358 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12359 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12360 such programs?)
12361 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12362 need locks.
12363 [Bodo Moeller]
12364
12365 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12366 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12367 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12368 [Bodo Moeller]
12369
12370 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12371 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12372 appropriate.
12373 [Bodo Moeller]
12374
12375 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12376 for the encoded length.
12377 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12378
12379 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12380 [Steve Henson]
12381
12382 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12383 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12384 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12385 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12386 [Steve Henson]
12387
12388 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12389 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12390 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12391
12392 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12393 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12394 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12395 unusual formatting.
12396 [Steve Henson]
12397
12398 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12399 to use the new extension code.
12400 [Steve Henson]
12401
12402 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12403 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12404 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12405 constant.
12406 [Steve Henson]
12407
12408 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12409 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12410 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12411 [Bodo Moeller]
12412
12413 #if 0
12414 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12415 [Ben Laurie]
12416 #else
12417 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12418 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12419 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12420 #endif
12421
12422 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12423 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12424 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12425 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12426 [Ben Laurie]
12427
12428 *) DES library cleanups.
12429 [Ulf Möller]
12430
12431 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12432 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12433 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12434 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12435 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12436 of v2.0.
12437 [Steve Henson]
12438
12439 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12440 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12441 [Bodo Moeller]
12442
12443 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12444 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12445 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12446 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12447 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12448 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12449 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12450 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12451 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12452 [Steve Henson]
12453
12454 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12455 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12456 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12457 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12458 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12459 value doesn't matter.
12460 [Steve Henson]
12461
12462 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12463 support mutable.
12464 [Ben Laurie]
12465
12466 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12467 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12468 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12469 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12470
12471 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12472 [Ulf Möller]
12473
12474 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12475 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12476 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12477
12478 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12479 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12480
12481 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12482 [Ben Laurie]
12483
12484 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12485 [Ben Laurie]
12486
12487 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12488 [Ben Laurie]
12489
12490 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12491 [Bodo Moeller]
12492
12493
12494 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12495
12496 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12497
12498 *) Updated some demos.
12499 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12500
12501 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12502 [Wu Zhigang]
12503
12504 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12505 [Steve Henson]
12506
12507 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12508 [Steve Henson]
12509
12510 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12511 instead of using a fixed path.
12512 [Bodo Moeller]
12513
12514 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12515 [Andy Polyakov]
12516
12517 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12518 [Richard Levitte]
12519
12520
12521 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12522
12523 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12524 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12525 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12526
12527 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12528 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12529 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12530 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12531 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12532 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12533 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12534 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12535 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12536 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12537 [Steve Henson]
12538
12539 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12540 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12541 [Steve Henson]
12542
12543 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12544 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12545 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12546 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12547 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12548
12549 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12550 [Bodo Moeller]
12551
12552 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12553 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12554 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12555 [Steve Henson]
12556
12557 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12558 [Ben Laurie]
12559
12560 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12561 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12562 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12563 key elements as negative integers.
12564 [Steve Henson]
12565
12566 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12567 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12568
12569 *) VMS support.
12570 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12571
12572 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12573 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12574 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12575 [Steve Henson]
12576
12577 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12578 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12579 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12580 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12581 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12582 [Bodo Moeller]
12583
12584 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12585 [Ulf Möller]
12586
12587 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12588 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12589 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12590 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12591
12592 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12593 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12594 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12595
12596 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12597 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12598 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12599 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12600 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12601 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12602 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12603 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12604 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12605
12606 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12607 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12608 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12609 does not influence s as it used to.
12610
12611 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12612 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12613 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12614 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12615 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12616 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12617 [Bodo Moeller]
12618
12619 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12620 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12621 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12622 key type.
12623 [Steve Henson]
12624
12625 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12626 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12627 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12628 and 'x509').
12629 [Steve Henson]
12630
12631 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12632 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12633 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12634 extension option.
12635 [Steve Henson]
12636
12637 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12638 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12639 [Ben Laurie]
12640
12641 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12642 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12643
12644 *) Support Mingw32.
12645 [Ulf Möller]
12646
12647 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12648 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12649
12650 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12651 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12652
12653 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12654 [Ulf Möller]
12655
12656 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12657 [Anonymous]
12658
12659 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12660 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12661
12662 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12663 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12664 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12665 DER-encoded.)
12666 [Bodo Moeller]
12667
12668 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12669 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12670 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12671 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12672 now it really counts the depth.
12673 [Bodo Moeller]
12674
12675 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12676 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12677 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12678 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12679 didn't match the private key).
12680
12681 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12682 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12683 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12684 [Bodo Moeller]
12685
12686 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12687 [Ulf Möller]
12688
12689 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12690 David Harris.
12691 [Bodo Moeller]
12692
12693 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12694 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12695 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12696 [Bodo Moeller]
12697
12698 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12699 [Bodo Moeller]
12700
12701 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12702 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12703 such as /usr/local/bin.
12704 [Bodo Moeller]
12705
12706 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12707 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12708
12709 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12710 [Ulf Möller]
12711
12712 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12713 extension adding in x509 utility.
12714 [Steve Henson]
12715
12716 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12717 [Ulf Möller]
12718
12719 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12720 prototypes.
12721 [Steve Henson]
12722
12723 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12724 [Ulf Möller]
12725
12726 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12727 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12728 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12729 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12730 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12731 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12732 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12733 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12734 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12735 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12736 [Steve Henson]
12737
12738 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12739 [Bodo Moeller]
12740
12741 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12742 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12743 [Bodo Moeller]
12744
12745 *) Fix some race conditions.
12746 [Bodo Moeller]
12747
12748 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12749 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12750 [Steve Henson]
12751
12752 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12753 [Ulf Möller]
12754
12755 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12756 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12757 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12758 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12759
12760 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12761 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12762
12763 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12764 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12765 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12766
12767 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12768 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12769
12770 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12771 [Ulf Möller]
12772
12773 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12774 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12775
12776 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12777 [Ulf Möller]
12778
12779 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12780 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12781
12782 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12783 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12784 [Steve Henson]
12785
12786 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12787 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12788 [Ben Laurie]
12789
12790 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12791 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12792 [Steve Henson]
12793
12794 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12795 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12796 [Steve Henson]
12797
12798 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12799 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12800 [Steve Henson]
12801
12802 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12803 support typesafe stack.
12804 [Steve Henson]
12805
12806 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12807 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12808
12809 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12810 old X509V3 handling code.
12811 [Steve Henson]
12812
12813 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12814 [Ulf Möller]
12815
12816 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12817 [Bodo Moeller]
12818
12819 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12820 [Ben Laurie]
12821
12822 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12823 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12824
12825 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12826 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12827 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12828 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12829 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12830 [Ben Laurie]
12831
12832 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12833 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12834 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12835 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12836 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12837
12838 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12839 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12840 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12841 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12842
12843 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12844 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12845 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12846 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12847
12848 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12849 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12850 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12851 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12852 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12853 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12854 [Bodo Moeller]
12855
12856 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12857 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12858 [Bodo Moeller]
12859
12860 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12861 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12862 [Ulf Möller]
12863
12864 *) Tweaks to Configure
12865 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12866
12867 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12868 yet...
12869 [Steve Henson]
12870
12871 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12872 [Ulf Möller]
12873
12874 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12875 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12876 [Ulf Möller]
12877
12878 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12879 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12880 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12881 [Bodo Moeller]
12882
12883 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12884 [Bodo Moeller]
12885
12886 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12887 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12888 [Steve Henson]
12889
12890 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12891 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12892 to library startup routines.
12893 [Steve Henson]
12894
12895 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12896 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12897 codes along the way.
12898 [Steve Henson]
12899
12900 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12901 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12902 objects to objects.h
12903 [Steve Henson]
12904
12905 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12906 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12907 [Steve Henson]
12908
12909 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12910 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12911
12912 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12913 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12914 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12915
12916 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12917 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12918 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12919
12920 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12921 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12922 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12923
12924
12925 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12926
12927 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12928 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12929 [Ben Laurie]
12930
12931 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12932 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12933 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12934 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12935 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12936
12937 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12938 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12939 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12940 document.
12941 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12942
12943 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12944 Malloc, Free.
12945 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12946
12947 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12948 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12949
12950 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12951 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12952 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12953 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12954
12955 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12956 [Ben Laurie]
12957
12958 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12959 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12960 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12961 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12962 [Steve Henson]
12963
12964 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12965 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12966 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12967 [Steve Henson]
12968
12969 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12970 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12971 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12972 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12973 installed as `perl').
12974 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12975
12976 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12977 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12978
12979 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12980 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12981 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12982 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12983 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12984 [Steve Henson]
12985
12986 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12987 [Ben Laurie]
12988
12989 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12990 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12991 is horrible: I feel ill....
12992 [Steve Henson]
12993
12994 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12995 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12996 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12997 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12998 [Steve Henson]
12999
13000 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
13001 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13002
13003 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
13004 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
13005 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
13006 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13007
13008 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
13009 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
13010 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
13011 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
13012 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
13013 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
13014 openssl_bio.xs.
13015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13016
13017 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
13018 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13019
13020 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
13021 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
13022
13023 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
13024 [Ben Laurie]
13025
13026 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
13027 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
13028 in CRLs.
13029 [Steve Henson]
13030
13031 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
13032 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
13033 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
13034 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
13035 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
13036 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
13037 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
13038 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
13039 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
13040 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
13041 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13042
13043 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
13044 [Ben Laurie]
13045
13046 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
13047 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
13048 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
13049 for linking it into DSOs.
13050 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13051
13052 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
13053 Fixed.
13054 [Ben Laurie]
13055
13056 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
13057 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
13058 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
13059 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
13060 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
13061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13062
13063 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
13064 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
13065 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
13066 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
13067 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
13068 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
13069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13070
13071 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
13072 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
13073 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
13074 encryption.
13075 [Ben Laurie]
13076
13077 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
13078 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
13079 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
13080 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
13081 [Steve Henson]
13082
13083 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
13084 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
13085 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
13086 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
13087 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
13088 field as blank.
13089 [Steve Henson]
13090
13091 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
13092 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
13093 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
13094 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
13095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13096
13097 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
13098 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
13099 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13100
13101 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
13102 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
13103
13104 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
13105 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
13106 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
13107 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
13108 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
13109 [Steve Henson]
13110
13111 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
13112 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
13113 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
13114 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
13115 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
13116 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
13117 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
13118 [Ben Laurie]
13119
13120 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
13121 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
13122 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
13123 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
13124 [Ben Laurie]
13125
13126 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
13127 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
13128
13129 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
13130 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
13131 [Steve Henson]
13132
13133 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
13134 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13135 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13136 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13137 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13138 (e.g. s_server).
13139 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13140 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13141 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13142 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13143 no way to reconfigure them.
13144 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13145 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13146 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13147 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13148 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13149 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13150
13151 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13152 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13153 recognized by the users.
13154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13155
13156 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13157 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13158 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13159 already masked variable.
13160 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13161
13162 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13163 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13164
13165 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13166 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13167 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13168 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13169
13170 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13171 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13172 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13173
13174 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13175 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13176 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13177 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13178 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13179 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13180 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13181 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13182 now, too.
13183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13184
13185 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13186 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13187 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13188
13189 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13190 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13191 config file.
13192 [Steve Henson]
13193
13194 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13195 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13196
13197 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13198 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13199 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13200 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13201 [Ben Laurie]
13202
13203 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13204 [Steve Henson]
13205
13206 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13207 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13208
13209 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13210 [Ben Laurie]
13211
13212 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13213 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13214 [Steve Henson]
13215
13216 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13217 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13218 [Steve Henson]
13219
13220 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13221 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13222 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13223 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13224 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13225 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13226 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13227 Ben Laurie]
13228
13229 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13230 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13231
13232 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13233 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13234 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13235 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13236 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13237
13238 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13239 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13240 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13241 [Steve Henson]
13242
13243 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13244 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13245 an example.
13246 [Steve Henson]
13247
13248 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13249 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13250 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13251
13252 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13253 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13254 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13255 build instructions.
13256 [Steve Henson]
13257
13258 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13259 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13260 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13261 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13262 [Steve Henson]
13263
13264 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13265 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13266 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13267 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13268 [Ben Laurie]
13269
13270 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13271 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13272 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13273 so it wasn't spotted.
13274 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13275
13276 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13277 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13278 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13279 vectors if you have them.
13280 [Ben Laurie]
13281
13282 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13283 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13284 [Ben Laurie]
13285
13286 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13287 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13288 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13289 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13290 If you do a:
13291 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13292 it will update them.
13293 [Steve Henson]
13294
13295 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13296 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13297 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13298 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13299 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13300 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13301 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13302 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13303
13304 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13305 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13306 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13307 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13308 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13309 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13310 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13311 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13312 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13313 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13314
13315 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13316 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13317 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13318 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13319 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13320 [Steve Henson]
13321
13322 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13323 INTEGER code.
13324 [Steve Henson]
13325
13326 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13327 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13328
13329 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13330 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13331
13332 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13333 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13334 [Ben Laurie]
13335
13336 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13337 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13338
13339 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13340 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13341
13342 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13343 [Steve Henson]
13344
13345 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13346 few typos.
13347 [Steve Henson]
13348
13349 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13350 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13351 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13352 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13353
13354 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13355 [Steve Henson]
13356
13357 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13358 [Steve Henson]
13359
13360 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13361 [Steve Henson]
13362
13363 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13364 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13365 [Steve Henson]
13366
13367 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13368 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13369 CA extensions.
13370 [Steve Henson]
13371
13372 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13373 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13374 [Steve Henson]
13375
13376 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13377 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13378 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13379 [Steve Henson]
13380
13381 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13382 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13383 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13384 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13385 properly to be processed.
13386 [Steve Henson]
13387
13388 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13389 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13390 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13391 [Ben Laurie]
13392
13393 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13394 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13395
13396 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13397 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13398 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13399 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13400 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13401 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13402 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13403 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13404 or delete all the .err files.
13405 [Steve Henson]
13406
13407 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13408 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13409 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13410 to regenerate it if needed.
13411 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13412 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13413
13414 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13415 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13416
13417 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13418 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13419 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13420 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13421 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13422 [Steve Henson]
13423
13424 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13425 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13426
13427 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13428 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13429
13430 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13431 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13432 error, but didn't set one).
13433 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13434
13435 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13436 [Ben Laurie]
13437
13438 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13439 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13440 [Steve Henson]
13441
13442 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13443 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13444
13445 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13446 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13447 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13448 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13449 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13450 OID is not part of the table.
13451 [Steve Henson]
13452
13453 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13454 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13455 [Ben Laurie]
13456
13457 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13458 [Ben Laurie]
13459
13460 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13461 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13462 was "1234").
13463 [Steve Henson]
13464
13465 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13466 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13467
13468 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13469 NULL pointers.
13470 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13471
13472 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13473 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13474
13475 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13476 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13477
13478 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13479 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13480
13481 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13482 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13483 [Ben Laurie]
13484
13485 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13486 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13487 [Steve Henson]
13488
13489 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13490 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13491
13492 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13493 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13494
13495 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13496 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13497
13498 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13499 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13500
13501 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13502 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13503 unused in the certificate verification process.
13504 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13505
13506 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13507 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13508 [Steve Henson]
13509
13510 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13511 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13512 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13513
13514 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13515 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13516 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13517 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13518 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13519
13520 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13521 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13522 [Steve Henson]
13523
13524 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13525 [Steve Henson]
13526
13527 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13528 [Paul Sutton]
13529
13530 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13531 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13532
13533 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13534 [Ben Laurie]
13535
13536 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13537 [Ben Laurie]
13538
13539 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13540 [Ben Laurie]
13541
13542 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13543 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13544 other error libraries.
13545 [Steve Henson]
13546
13547 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13548 [Steve Henson]
13549
13550 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13551 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13552 be read in.
13553 [Steve Henson]
13554
13555 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13556 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13557 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13558 the new set of documentation files.
13559 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13560
13561 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13562 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13563 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13564 number of arguments.
13565 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13566
13567 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13568 [Ben Laurie]
13569
13570 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13571 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13572 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13573
13574 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13575 [Ben Laurie]
13576
13577 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13578 nextstep
13579 ncr-scde
13580 unixware-2.0
13581 unixware-2.0-pentium
13582 sco5-cc.
13583 [Ben Laurie]
13584
13585 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13586 before they are needed.
13587 [Ben Laurie]
13588
13589 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13590 [Ben Laurie]
13591
13592
13593 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13594
13595 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13596 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13598
13599 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13600 [Paul Sutton]
13601
13602 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13603 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13604 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13605
13606 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13607 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13608 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13609
13610 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13611 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13613
13614 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13615 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13616
13617 *) Updated the README file.
13618 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13619
13620 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13621 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13622 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13623
13624 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13625 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13627
13628 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13629 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13630 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13631 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13632 o removed obsolete TODO file
13633 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13635
13636 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13637 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13638 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13639 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13640 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13641 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13642 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13643
13644 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13645 [Mark J. Cox]
13646
13647 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13648 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13649 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13650 summer 1998.
13651 [The OpenSSL Project]
13652
13653
13654 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
13655
13656 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
13657 [Eric A. Young]
13658
13659 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13660 [Eric A. Young]
13661
13662 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13663 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13664 [Eric A. Young]
13665
13666 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13667 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13668 available).
13669 [Eric A. Young]
13670
13671 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13672 binary structures
13673 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13674
13675 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13676 [Eric A. Young]
13677
13678 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13679 [Eric A. Young]
13680
13681 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13682 [Eric A. Young]
13683
13684 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13685 [Eric A. Young]
13686
13687 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13688 [Eric A. Young]
13689
13690 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
13691 [Eric A. Young]
13692
13693 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13694 [Eric A. Young]
13695
13696 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13697 [Eric A. Young]
13698
13699 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13700 [Eric A. Young]
13701
13702 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13703 [Eric A. Young]
13704
13705 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13706 [Eric A. Young]
13707
13708 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13709 [Eric A. Young]
13710
13711 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13712 [Eric A. Young]
13713
13714 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13715 [Eric A. Young]
13716
