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

1056 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
1057
1058 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
1059
1060 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
1061 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
1062 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
1063 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
1064 so this is considered safe.
1065
1066 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
1067 project.
1068 (CVE-2018-0739)
1069 [Matt Caswell]
1070
1071 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
1072
1073 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
1074 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
1075 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
1076 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
1077 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
1078 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
1079
1080 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
1081 (IBM).
1082 (CVE-2018-0733)
1083 [Andy Polyakov]
1084
1085 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
1086 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
1087 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
1088 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
1089 [Richard Levitte]
1090
1091 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
1092
1093 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
1094 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
1095 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
1096 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
1097 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
1098
1099 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
1100 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
1101 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
1102 [Matt Caswell]
1103
1104 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
1105 exist.
1106 [Rich Salz]
1107
1108 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
1109
1110 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
1111 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
1112 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
1113 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
1114 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
1115 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
1116 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
1117 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
1118 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
1119 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
1120
1121 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
1122 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
1123
1124 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
1125 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.

1129 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
1130
1131 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
1132
1133 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1134 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1135 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1136 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1137 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1138 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1139 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1140 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1141 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1142 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1143 key that is shared between multiple clients.
1144
1145 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
1146 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
1147
1148 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1149 (CVE-2017-3736)
1150 [Andy Polyakov]
1151
1152 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
1153
1154 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
1155 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
1156 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
1157
1158 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
1159 (CVE-2017-3735)

1162 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
1163
1164 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
1165 platform rather than 'mingw'.
1166 [Richard Levitte]
1167
1168 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
1169 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
1170 which is the minimum version we support.

1174
1175 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
1176
1177 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
1178 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
1179 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
1180 and servers are affected.

1187
1188 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
1189
1190 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
1191 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
1192 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.

1196 [Andy Polyakov]
1197
1198 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
1199
1200 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
1201 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
1202 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
1203 of Service attack.

1207 [Matt Caswell]
1208
1209 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1210
1211 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1212 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1213 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1214 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1215 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1216 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1217 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1218 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1219 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1220 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1221 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1222 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
1223 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
1224
1225 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.

1230
1231 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
1232
1233 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
1234 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
1235 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
1236

1238 (CVE-2016-7054)
1239 [Richard Levitte]
1240
1241 *) CMS Null dereference
1242
1243 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
1244 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
1245 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
1246 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
1247 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
1248 affected.
1249
1250 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
1251 (CVE-2016-7053)
1252 [Stephen Henson]
1253
1254 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
1255
1256 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
1257 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
1258 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
1259 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
1260 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
1261 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
1262 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
1263 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
1264 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
1265 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
1266 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
1267 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
1268 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
1269 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
1270
1271 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
1272 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
1273 providing reproducible case.
1274 (CVE-2016-7055)
1275 [Andy Polyakov]
1276
1277 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
1278 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.

1280
1281 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
1282
1283 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
1284
1285 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
1286 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
1287 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
1288 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
1289 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
1290 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
1291
1292 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.

1299
1300 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
1301
1302 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
1303 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
1304 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
1305 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
1306 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
1307 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
1308 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.

1312 [Matt Caswell]
1313
1314 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
1315
1316 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
1317 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
1318 Denial Of Service attack.
1319
1320 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
1321 (CVE-2016-6305)
1322 [Matt Caswell]
1323
1324 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
1325 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
1326
1327 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
1328 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
1329 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
1330 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
1331 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
1332 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
1333 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
1334 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
1335 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
1336 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
1337 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
1338 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
1339 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
1340 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
1341 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
1342
1343 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
1344 that the connection fails
1345 or
1346 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
1347 very little free memory
1348 or
1349 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
1350 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
1351 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
1352 memory to service the multiple requests.
1353
1354 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
1355 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
1356 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
1357 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
1358 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.

1362 [Matt Caswell]
1363
1364 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
1365 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
1366 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
1367 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
1368 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
1369 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
1370 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
1371 [Andy Polyakov]
1372
1373 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
1374
1375 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
1376 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
1377 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
1378 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
1379 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
1380 non-ASCII password.
1381 [Andy Polyakov]
1382
1383 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
1384 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
1385 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
1386 [Rich Salz]
1387
1388 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
1389 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
1390 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
1391 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
1392 [Matt Caswell]
1393
1394 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
1395 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
1396 success.
1397 [Matt Caswell]
1398
1399 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
1400 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
1401 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
1402 no-ops and deprecated.
1403 [Matt Caswell]
1404
1405 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
1406 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
1407 were also closed.
1408 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
1409
1410 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
1411 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
1412 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
1413 [Rich Salz]
1414
1415 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
1416 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
1417 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
1418 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
1419 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
1420 and the validity of object reference counter.
1421 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
1422
1423 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
1424 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
1425 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
1426 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
1427 [Richard Levitte]
1428
1429 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
1430 [Richard Levitte]
1431
1432 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
1433 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
1434 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
1435 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
1436
1437 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
1438
1439 [Richard Levitte]
1440
1441 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
1442 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
1443 [Steve Henson]
1444
1445 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
1446 [Andy Polyakov]
1447
1448 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
1449 [Rich Salz]
1450
1451 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
1452 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
1453 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
1454 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
1455 name and is used as is.
1456 [Richard Levitte]
1457
1458 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
1459 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
1460 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
1461 [Rich Salz]
1462
1463 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
1464 the "no-shared" Configure option.
1465 [Matt Caswell]
1466
1467 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
1468 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
1469 algorithms.
1470 [Matt Caswell]
1471
1472 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
1473 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
1474 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
1475 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
1476 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
1477 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
1478 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
1479 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
1480 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
1481 [Matt Caswell]
1482
1483 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
1484 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
1485 enabled with '--debug' builds.
1486 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
1487
1488 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
1489 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1490 these have been added.
1491 [Matt Caswell]
1492
1493 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
1494 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
1495 functions for managing these have been added.
1496 [Richard Levitte]
1497
1498 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
1499 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
1500 these have been added.
1501 [Matt Caswell]
1502
1503 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
1504 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
1505 have been added.
1506 [Matt Caswell]
1507
1508 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
1509 [Matt Caswell]
1510
1511 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
1512 [Richard Levitte]
1513
1514 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
1515 it is always safe to #include a header now.
1516 [Rich Salz]
1517
1518 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
1519 [Richard Levitte]
1520
1521 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
1522 [Rich Salz]
1523
1524 *) Add support for HKDF.
1525 [Alessandro Ghedini]
1526
1527 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
1528 [Bill Cox]
1529
1530 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
1531 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
1532 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
1533 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
1534 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
1535 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
1536 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
1537 [Matt Caswell]
1538
1539 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
1540 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
1541 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
1542 [Catriona Lucey]
1543
1544 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
1545 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
1546 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
1547 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
1548 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
1549 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
1550 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
1551
1552 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1553 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1554 [Todd Short]
1555
1556 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
1557 [Todd Short]
1558
1559 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
1560 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
1561 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
1562 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
1563 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
1564 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
1565 default cipherlist.
1566 [Emilia Käsper]
1567
1568 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
1569 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
1570 [Rich Salz]
1571
1572 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
1573 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
1574 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
1575 [Matt Caswell]
1576
1577 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
1578 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
1579 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
1580 implemented by other servers.
1581 [Emilia Käsper]
1582
1583 *) Add X25519 support.
1584 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
1585 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
1586 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
1587 key generation and key derivation.
1588
1589 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
1590 X25519(29).
1591 [Steve Henson]
1592
1593 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
1594 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1595 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
1596 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
1597 seed, even if the seed is configured.
1598
1599 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1600 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1601 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1602 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1603 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1604 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1605 that of a valid user.
1606 [Emilia Käsper]
1607
1608 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
1609 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
1610 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
1611 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
1612
1613 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
1614 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
1615
1616 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
1617 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
1618 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
1619 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
1620
1621 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
1622 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
1623 irrelevant.
1624 [Richard Levitte]
1625
1626 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
1627 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
1628 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
1629 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
1630 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
1631 of how OpenSSL was configured.
1632
1633 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
1634 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
1635 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
1636 [Richard Levitte]
1637
1638 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
1639 [Rich Salz]
1640
1641 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
1642 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
1643 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
1644 removed.
1645 [Richard Levitte]
1646
1647 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
1648 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
1649 old #define's might need to be updated.
1650 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
1651
1652 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
1653 [Rich Salz]
1654
1655 *) New "unified" build system
1656
1657 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1658 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1659
1660 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1661 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1662 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1663
1664 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1665 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1666 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1667 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1668 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1669
1670 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1671 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1672 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1673 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1674 libraries" in INSTALL.
1675
1676 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1677 [Richard Levitte]
1678
1679 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1680 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1681 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1682 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1683 [Matt Caswell]
1684
1685 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1686 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1687
1688 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1689 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1690 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1691 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1692 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1693 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1694 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1695 have been adapted accordingly.
1696 [Richard Levitte]
1697
1698 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1699 the leading 0-byte.
1700 [Emilia Käsper]
1701
1702 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1703 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1704 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1705 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1706 [Emilia Käsper]
1707
1708 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1709 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1710 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1711 'unsigned char*'.
1712 [Emilia Käsper]
1713
1714 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1715 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1716 [Emilia Käsper]
1717
1718 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1719 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1720 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1721 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1722 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1723 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1724 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1725
1726 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1727 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1728
1729 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1730 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1731 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1732 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1733 Text::Template.
1734
1735 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1736 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1737 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1738 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1739 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1740 %target).
1741 [Richard Levitte]
1742
1743 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1744 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1745 straightforward and less interdependent.
1746
1747 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1748 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1749 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1750
1751 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1752 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1753 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1754 installed.
1755 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1756 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1757 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1758 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1759
1760 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1761 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1762 [Richard Levitte]
1763
1764 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1765 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1766 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1767 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1768 is present).
1769 [Matt Caswell]
1770
1771 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1772 configuring.
1773 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1774
1775 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1776 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1777 before trying to build now.*
1778 [Rich Salz]
1779
1780 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1781 has changed.
1782 [Rich Salz]
1783
1784 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1785
1786 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1787 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1788 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1789 used to authenticate the peer.
1790
1791 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1792 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1793 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1794 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1795 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1796 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1797
1798 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1799 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1800 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1801 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1802 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1803 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1804
1805 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1806 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1807 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1808 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1809 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1810 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1811 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1812 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1813 version.
1814
1815 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1816 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1817 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1818 compile with later releases.
1819
1820 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1821 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1822 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1823 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1824 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1825 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1826
1827 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1828 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1829 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1830 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1831 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1832 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1833 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1834 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1835 [Kurt Roeckx]
1836
1837 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1838 [Andy Polyakov]
1839
1840 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1841 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1842 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1843 ECDSA_SIG format.
1844
1845 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1846 include the ec.h header file instead.
1847 [Steve Henson]
1848
1849 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1850 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1851 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1852 [Kurt Roeckx]
1853
1854 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1855 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1856 were added:
1857
1858 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1859 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1860
1861 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1862 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1863 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1864
1865 Additional changes:
1866 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1867 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1868 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1869 an already created structure.
1870 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1871 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1872 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1873 for deprecated builds.
1874 [Richard Levitte]
1875
1876 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1877 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1878 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1879 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1880 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1881 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1882 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1883 [Matt Caswell]
1884
1885 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1886 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1887 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1888 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1889 [Kurt Roeckx]
1890
1891 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1892 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1893 [Kurt Roeckx]
1894
1895 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1896 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1897 [Kurt Roeckx]
1898
1899 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1900 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1901 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1902 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1903 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1904 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1905 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1906 also been removed.
1907 [Matt Caswell]
1908
1909 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1910 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1911 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1912 [Rich Salz]
1913
1914 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1915 [Rich Salz]
1916
1917 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1918 sureware and ubsec.
1919 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1920
1921 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1922
1923 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1924 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1925
1926 FOO *x;
1927
1928 it must be:
1929
1930 FOO x;
1931
1932 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1933 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1934
1935 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1936 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1937 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1938 SEQUENCE OF.
1939 [Steve Henson]
1940
1941 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1942 [Emilia Käsper]
1943
1944 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1945 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1946 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1947 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1948 [Matt Caswell]
1949
1950 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1951 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1952 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1953 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1954 [Emilia Käsper]
1955
1956 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1957 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1958 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1959
1960 *) New testing framework
1961 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1962 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1963 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1964 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1965 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1966 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1967
1968 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1969
1970 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1971 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1972
1973 [Richard Levitte]
1974
1975 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1976 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1977 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1978 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1979 [Rich Salz]
1980
1981 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1982 return an error
1983 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1984
1985 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1986 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1987
1988 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1989 original RSA_PSK patch.
1990 [Steve Henson]
1991
1992 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1993 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1994 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1995 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1996 [Matt Caswell]
1997
1998 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1999 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
2000 [Richard Levitte]
2001
2002 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
2003 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
2004 hasn't been working properly for a while.
2005 [Emilia Käsper]
2006
2007 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
2008 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
2009 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
2010 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
2011 transferred.
2012 [Matt Caswell]
2013
2014 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
2015 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
2016 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
2017 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
2018 [Matt Caswell]
2019
2020 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
2021 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
2022 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
2023 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
2024 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
2025 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
2026 [Matt Caswell]
2027
2028 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
2029 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
2030 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
2031 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
2032 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
2033 header file has been removed.
2034 [Matt Caswell]
2035
2036 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
2037 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
2038 [Matt Caswell]
2039
2040 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
2041 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
2042 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
2043
2044 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
2045 Added a test.
2046 [Rich Salz]
2047
2048 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
2049 [Rich Salz]
2050
2051 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
2052 sha256
2053 [Rich Salz]
2054
2055 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
2056 [Matt Caswell]
2057
2058 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
2059 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
2060 initial patch which was a great help during development.
2061 [Steve Henson]
2062
2063 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
2064 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
2065 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
2066 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
2067 [Matt Caswell]
2068
2069 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
2070 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
2071 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
2072 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
2073 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
2074 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
2075 [Matt Caswell]
2076
2077 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
2078 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
2079 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
2080 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
2081 [Matt Caswell]
2082
2083 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
2084 compatible client hello.
2085 [Kurt Roeckx]
2086
2087 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
2088 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
2089 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
2090
2091 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
2092 [Rich Salz]
2093
2094 *) Removed old DES API.
2095 [Rich Salz]
2096
2097 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
2098 Sony NEWS4
2099 BEOS and BEOS_R5
2100 NeXT
2101 SUNOS
2102 MPE/iX
2103 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
2104 DGUX
2105 NCR
2106 Tandem
2107 Cray
2108 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
2109 [Rich Salz]
2110
2111 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
2112 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
2113 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
2114 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
2115 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
2116 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
2117 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
2118 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
2119 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
2120 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
2121 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
2122 [Rich Salz]
2123
2124 *) Cleaned up dead code
2125 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
2126 [Rich Salz]
2127
2128 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
2129 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
2130 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
2131 [Rich Salz]
2132
2133 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
2134 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
2135 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
2136 [Rich Salz]
2137
2138 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
2139 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
2140 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
2141
2142 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
2143 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
2144 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
2145
2146 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2147 compilation flags.
2148 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2149
2150 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2151 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
2152 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2153
2154 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2155 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2156
2157 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2158 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2159 server.
2160
2161 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2162 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2163 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2164 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2165
2166 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2167 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2168 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2169 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2170
2171 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2172 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2173 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2174
2175 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2176 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2177 [Steve Henson]
2178
2179 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
2180
2181 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
2182 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
2183
2184 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
2185 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
2186
2187 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
2188 effect.
2189
2190 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2191
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2195 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2196 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2197 algorithms and include tests cases.
2198 [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
2201 enveloped data.
2202 [Steve Henson]
2203
2204 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2205 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2206 [Steve Henson]
2207
2208 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2209 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2210
2211 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
2212 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
2216 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
2217 failures.
2218 [Steve Henson]
2219
2220 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
2221 sign or verify all in one operation.
2222 [Steve Henson]
2223
2224 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
2225 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
2226 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
2227 [Steve Henson]
2228
2229 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
2230 [Steve Henson]
2231
2232 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
2233 [Steve Henson]
2234
2235 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
2236 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
2237 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
2238 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
2239 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
2240 [Steve Henson]
2241
2242 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
2243 based on NID.
2244 [Steve Henson]
2245
2246 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
2247 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
2248 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
2249 [Steve Henson]
2250
2251 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
2252 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
2253
2254 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
2255 POST to handle HMAC cases.
2256 [Steve Henson]
2257
2258 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
2259 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
2260 [Steve Henson]
2261
2262 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
2263 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
2264 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
2268 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
2269 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
2270 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
2271 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
2272 requested amount of entropy.
2273 [Steve Henson]
2274
2275 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
2276 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
2277 [Steve Henson]
2278
2279 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
2280 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
2281 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
2282 support.
2283 [Steve Henson]
2284
2285 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
2286 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
2287 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
2288 [Steve Henson]
2289
2290 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
2291 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
2292 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
2293 will never use XTS mode.
2294 [Steve Henson]
2295
2296 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
2297 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
2298 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
2299 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
2300 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
2301 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
2302 [Steve Henson]
2303
2304 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
2305 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
2306 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
2307 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
2308 [Steve Henson]
2309
2310 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
2311 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
2312 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
2313 [Steve Henson]
2314
2315 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
2319 [Steve Henson]
2320
2321 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
2322 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
2323 [Steve Henson]
2324
2325 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
2326 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
2327 [Steve Henson]
2328
2329 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
2330 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
2331 [Steve Henson]
2332
2333 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
2334 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
2335 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
2336 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
2337 and rename any affected symbols.
2338 [Steve Henson]
2339
2340 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
2341 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
2342 [Steve Henson]
2343
2344 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
2345 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
2346 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
2347 [Steve Henson]
2348
2349 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2350 [Steve Henson]
2351
2352 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
2353 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
2354 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
2355 [Steve Henson]
2356
2357 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
2358 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
2359 [Steve Henson]
2360
2361 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
2362 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
2363 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
2364 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
2365 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
2366 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
2367 set before the key.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
2371 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
2372 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
2373 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
2374 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
2375 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
2376 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
2377 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
2381 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
2385
2386 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2387 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
2388
2389 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
2390 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
2391 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
2392 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
2393 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
2394 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
2395
2396 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
2397 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
2398 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
2399 security.
2400 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2401
2402 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
2403 parameters by name.
2404 [Steve Henson]
2405
2406 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
2407 Add CMAC pkey methods.
2408 [Steve Henson]
2409
2410 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
2411 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
2412 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
2416 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
2417 multi-process servers.
2418 [Steve Henson]
2419
2420 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
2421 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
2422 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
2423 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
2424 RAND_METHOD structure.
2425 [Steve Henson]
2426
2427 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
2428 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
2429 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
2430 whose return value is often ignored.
2431 [Steve Henson]
2432
2433 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
2434 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
2435 validated when establishing a connection.
2436 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
2437
2438 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
2439
2440 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
2441
2442 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
2443 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
2444 AES-NI.
2445
2446 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
2447 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
2448 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
2449 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
2450 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
2451 bytes.
2452
2453 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
2454 (CVE-2016-2107)
2455 [Kurt Roeckx]
2456
2457 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
2458
2459 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
2460 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
2461 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
2462 corruption.
2463
2464 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
2465 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
2466 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
2467 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
2468 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
2469 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
2470
2471 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
2472 (CVE-2016-2105)
2473 [Matt Caswell]
2474
2475 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
2476
2477 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
2478 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
2479 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
2480 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
2481 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
2482 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
2483 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
2484 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
2485 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
2486 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
2487 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
2488 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
2489 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
2490 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
2491 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
2492 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.

2495 (CVE-2016-2106)
2496 [Matt Caswell]
2497
2498 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
2499
2500 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
2501 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
2502 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
2503
2504 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
2505 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
2506 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
2507 applications are not affected.
2508
2509 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
2510 (CVE-2016-2109)
2511 [Stephen Henson]
2512
2513 *) EBCDIC overread
2514
2515 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
2516 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
2517 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.

2535 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
2536
2537 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
2538 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
2539 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
2540 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2541
2542 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
2543 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
2544 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
2545 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
2546 will need to explicitly call either of:
2547
2548 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2549 or
2550 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
2551
2552 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
2553 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
2554 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
2555 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
2556 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.

2558 [Viktor Dukhovni]
2559
2560 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
2561
2562 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
2563 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
2564 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
2565 considered rare.
2566
2567 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
2568 libFuzzer.
2569 (CVE-2016-0705)
2570 [Stephen Henson]
2571
2572 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
2573
2574 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
2575
2576 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
2577 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
2578 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
2579 is configured.
2580
2581 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
2582 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
2583 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
2584 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
2585 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
2586 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
2587 that of a valid user.
2588 (CVE-2016-0798)
2589 [Emilia Käsper]
2590
2591 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
2592
2593 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
2594 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
2595 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
2596 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
2597 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
2598 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
2599 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
2600 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
2601 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
2602 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
2603 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
2604
2605 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
2606 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
2607 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
2608 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
2609 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
2610
2611 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
2612 (CVE-2016-0797)
2613 [Matt Caswell]
2614
2615 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
2616
2617 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
2618 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
2619 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
2620
2621 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
2622 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
2623 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
2624 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
2625 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
2626 also occur.
2627
2628 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
2629 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
2630 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
2631 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
2632 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
2633 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
2634 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
2635 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
2636 as command line arguments.
2637
2638 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
2639 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
2640 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
2641
2642 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.

2644 [Matt Caswell]
2645
2646 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
2647
2648 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
2649 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
2650 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
2651 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
2652 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
2653
2654 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
2655 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
2656 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at

2662 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2663 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2664 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
2665 [Emilia Käsper]
2666
2667 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2668 *) DH small subgroups
2669
2670 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2671 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2672 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2673 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2674 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2675 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2676 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2677 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2678 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2679 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2680
2681 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2682 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2683 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2684 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2685 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2686
2687 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2688 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2689 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2690 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2691
2692 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2693 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2694
2695 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).

2698
2699 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2700
2701 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2702 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2703 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2704 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.

2712
2713 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2714
2715 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2716 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2717 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2718 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2719 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2720 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2721 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2722 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2723 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2724 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2725 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2726 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2733
2734 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2735 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2736 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2737 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2738 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2739 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2740 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client

2771 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2772
2773 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2774 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2775 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2776 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2777 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2778 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.

2794
2795 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2796 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2797 field.
2798
2799 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2800 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2801 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2802 client authentication enabled.

2809
2810 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2811 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2812 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2813 time string.
2814
2815 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2816 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2817 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2818 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2819 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2820 callbacks.

2875 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2876
2877 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2878
2879 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2880 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2881 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2882 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2883 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2884 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2885 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2886 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2887
2888 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2889 (CVE-2015-0290)
2890 [Matt Caswell]
2891
2892 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2893
2894 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2895 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2896 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2897 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2898 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2899 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2900 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2901 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2902 server.

2909
2910 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2911 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2912 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2913 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any

2923 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2924 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any

2933 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2934
2935 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2936 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2937 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2938
2939 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2940 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related

2951
2952 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or

2968 (CVE-2015-0293)
2969 [Emilia Käsper]
2970
2971 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2972
2973 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2974 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2975 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2976 (CVE-2015-1787)
2977 [Matt Caswell]
2978
2979 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2980
2981 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2982 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2983 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2984 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2985 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2986 SSL_client_methodv23)
2987 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2988 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2989
2990 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2991 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2992 output may be predictable.
2993
2994 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2995 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2996
2997 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2998 (CVE-2015-0285)
2999 [Matt Caswell]
3000
3001 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
3002
3003 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
3004 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
3005 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
3006 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
3007 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
3008 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
3009
3010 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
3011 commit 517073cd4b.
3012 (CVE-2015-0209)
3013 [Matt Caswell]
3014
3015 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
3016
3017 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
3018 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
3019
3020 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
3021 (CVE-2015-0288)
3022 [Stephen Henson]
3023
3024 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
3025 [Kurt Roeckx]
3026
3027 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
3028
3029 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
3030 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
3031 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
3032 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
3033 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
3034 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
3035 [Andy Polyakov]
3036
3037 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
3038 (other platforms pending).
3039 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
3040
3041 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
3042 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
3043 [Rob Stradling]
3044
3045 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3046 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3047 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3048 [Bodo Moeller]
3049
3050 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
3051 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
3052 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
3053 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
3054 [Andy Polyakov]
3055
3056 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
3057 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
3058
3059 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
3060 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
3061 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
3062 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
3063 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
3064
3065 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
3066 [Andy Polyakov]
3067
3068 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
3069 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
3070 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
3071 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
3072
3073 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
3074 RSAZ.
3075 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
3076
3077 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
3078 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
3079 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
3080 for TLS encrypt.
3081
3082 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
3083 [Andy Polyakov]
3084
3085 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
3086 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
3087 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
3091 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
3095 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
3099 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
3100 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
3101 algorithms and include tests cases.
3102 [Steve Henson]
3103
3104 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
3105 structure.
3106 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
3107
3108 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
3109 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
3110 [Steve Henson]
3111
3112 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
3113 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
3114 summary of the connection parameters.
3115 [Steve Henson]
3116
3117 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
3118 of connection parameters.
3119 [Steve Henson]
3120
3121 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
3122 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
3123
3124 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
3125 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
3129 [Steve Henson]
3130
3131 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
3132 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
3133 [Steve Henson]
3134
3135 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
3136 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
3137 [Steve Henson]
3138
3139 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
3140 certificates.
3141 [Steve Henson]
3142
3143 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
3144 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
3145 CRLs using the OCSP API.
3146 [Steve Henson]
3147
3148 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
3149 [Steve Henson]
3150
3151 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
3152 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
3156 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
3157 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
3158 tracing.
3159 [Steve Henson]
3160
3161 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
3162 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
3166 OID NID.
3167 [Steve Henson]
3168
3169 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
3170 client to OpenSSL.
3171 [Steve Henson]
3172
3173 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
3174 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
3175 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
3176 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
3177 [Steve Henson]
3178
3179 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
3180 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
3184 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
3185 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
3186 comparison.
3187 [Steve Henson]
3188
3189 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
3190 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
3191 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
3192 use the certificate.
3193 [Steve Henson]
3194
3195 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
3196 [Steve Henson]
3197
3198 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
3199 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
3200 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
3201 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
3202 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
3203 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
3204 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
3205
3206 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
3207 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
3208
3209 [Steve Henson]
3210
3211 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
3212 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
3213 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
3214 [Steve Henson]
3215
3216 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
3217 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
3218 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
3219 supported signature algorithms.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
3223 [Steve Henson]
3224
3225 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
3226 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
3227 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
3228 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
3229 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
3230 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
3231 certificate and specify the whole chain.
3232 [Steve Henson]
3233
3234 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
3235 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
3236 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
3237 to have similar checks in it.
3238
3239 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
3240 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
3241 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
3242 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
3243 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
3244 [Steve Henson]
3245
3246 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
3247 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
3248 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
3249 shared signature algorithms.
3250 [Steve Henson]
3251
3252 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
3253 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
3254 to support them.
3255 [Steve Henson]
3256
3257 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
3258 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
3259 it couldn't be removed.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
3263 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
3267 functions. Add manual page.
3268 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
3269
3270 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
3271 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
3272 a certificate.
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 *) Fix OCSP checking.
3276 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
3277
3278 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
3279 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
3280 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
3281 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
3282 utility) or reject.
3283 [Steve Henson]
3284
3285 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
3286 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
3290 platform support for Linux and Android.
3291 [Andy Polyakov]
3292
3293 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
3294 [Andy Polyakov]
3295
3296 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
3297 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
3298 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
3299 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
3300 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
3301 [Steve Henson]
3302
3303 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
3304 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
3305 the new parameter format automatically.
3306 [Steve Henson]
3307
3308 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
3309 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
3313 [Steve Henson]
3314
3315 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
3316 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
3317 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
3318 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
3319 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
3320 [Steve Henson]
3321
3322 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
3323 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
3324 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
3325 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
3326 to set list of supported curves.
3327 [Steve Henson]
3328
3329 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
3330 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
3331 to print out received values.
3332 [Steve Henson]
3333
3334 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
3335 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
3336 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
3340 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
3341 [Steve Henson]
3342
3343 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
3344 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
3345 [Steve Henson]
3346
3347 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
3348 certificates.
3349 [Steve Henson]
3350
3351 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
3352 the certificate.
3353 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
3354 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
3355 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
3356
3357 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
3358
3359 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
3360 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
3361
3362 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
3363
3364 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
3365 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
3366 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
3367 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
3368 (CVE-2014-3571)
3369 [Steve Henson]
3370
3371 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
3372 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
3373 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
3374 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
3375 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
3376 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
3377 (CVE-2015-0206)
3378 [Matt Caswell]
3379
3380 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
3381 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
3382 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
3383 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
3384 (CVE-2014-3569)
3385 [Kurt Roeckx]
3386
3387 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
3388 ECDH ciphersuites.
3389
3390 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
3391 reporting this issue.
3392 (CVE-2014-3572)
3393 [Steve Henson]
3394
3395 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
3396 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
3397 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
3398 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
3399 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
3400 INRIA or reporting this issue.
3401 (CVE-2015-0204)
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
3405 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
3406 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
3407 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
3408 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
3409 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
3410 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
3411 this issue.
3412 (CVE-2015-0205)
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
3416 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
3417
3418 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
3419 and can vary with the CTX.
3420 [Adam Langley]
3421
3422 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
3423
3424 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
3425 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
3426 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
3427 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
3428 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
3429
3430 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
3431
3432 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
3433 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
3434
3435 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
3436
3437 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
3438 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
3439 errors for some broken certificates.
3440
3441 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
3442
3443 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
3444
3445 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
3446 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
3447
3448 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
3449 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
3450 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
3451 (negative or with leading zeroes).
3452
3453 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
3454 of the OpenSSL core team.
3455
3456 (CVE-2014-8275)
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
3460 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
3461 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
3462 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
3463 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
3464 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
3465 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
3466 the OpenSSL core team.
3467 (CVE-2014-3570)
3468 [Andy Polyakov]
3469
3470 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
3471 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
3472 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
3473 sanity and breaks all known clients.
3474 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
3475
3476 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
3477 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
3478 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
3479 [Emilia Käsper]
3480
3481 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
3482 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
3483 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3484 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
3485 announced in the initial ServerHello.
3486
3487 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
3488 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
3489 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
3490 [Emilia Käsper]
3491
3492 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
3493
3494 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
3495
3496 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
3497 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
3498 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
3499 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
3500 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
3501 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
3502 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
3503
3504 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
3505 (CVE-2014-3513)
3506 [OpenSSL team]
3507
3508 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
3509
3510 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
3511 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
3512 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
3513 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
3514 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
3515 attack.
3516 (CVE-2014-3567)
3517 [Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
3520
3521 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
3522 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
3523 configured to send them.
3524 (CVE-2014-3568)
3525 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
3526
3527 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
3528 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
3529 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
3530 (CVE-2014-3566)
3531 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3532
3533 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
3534
3535 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
3536 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
3537 DigestInfo structures.
3538
3539 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
3540
3541 [Steve Henson]
3542
3543 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
3544
3545 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
3546 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
3547 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
3548
3549 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
3550 Group for discovering this issue.
3551 (CVE-2014-3512)
3552 [Steve Henson]
3553
3554 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
3555 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
3556 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
3557 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
3558 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
3559
3560 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
3561 researching this issue.
3562 (CVE-2014-3511)
3563 [David Benjamin]
3564
3565 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
3566 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
3567 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
3568 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
3569
3570 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
3571 issue.
3572 (CVE-2014-3510)
3573 [Emilia Käsper]
3574
3575 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
3576 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3577 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3578 (CVE-2014-3507)
3579 [Adam Langley]
3580
3581 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
3582 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
3583 Denial of Service attack.
3584 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
3585 (CVE-2014-3506)
3586 [Adam Langley]
3587
3588 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
3589 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
3590 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
3591 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
3592 this issue.
3593 (CVE-2014-3505)
3594 [Adam Langley]
3595
3596 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
3597 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
3598 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
3599
3600 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
3601 issue.
3602 (CVE-2014-3509)
3603 [Gabor Tyukasz]
3604
3605 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
3606 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
3607 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
3608 Denial of Service attack.
3609
3610 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
3611 discovering and researching this issue.
3612 (CVE-2014-5139)
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
3616 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
3617 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
3618 output to the attacker.
3619
3620 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
3621 (CVE-2014-3508)
3622 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
3623
3624 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
3625 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
3626 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
3627 [Bodo Moeller]
3628
3629 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
3630
3631 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
3632 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
3633 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
3634
3635 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
3636 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
3637 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
3638
3639 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
3640 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
3641 in a DoS attack.
3642
3643 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
3644 (CVE-2014-0221)
3645 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
3646
3647 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
3648 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
3649 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
3650 code on a vulnerable client or server.
3651
3652 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
3653 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
3654
3655 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
3656 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3657
3658 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3659 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3660 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3663 compilation flags.
3664 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3665
3666 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3667 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3668 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3669
3670 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3671 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3672
3673 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3674
3675 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3676 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3677 server.
3678
3679 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3680 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3681 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3682 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3683
3684 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3685 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3686 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3687 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3688
3689 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3690 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3691 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3692
3693 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3694
3695 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3696 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3697 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3698 is at least 512 bytes long.
3699
3700 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3701
3702 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3703
3704 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3705 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3706 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3707 (CVE-2013-4353)
3708
3709 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3710 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3711 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3712 [Steve Henson]
3713
3714 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3715 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3716 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3717 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3718 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3719 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3720 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3721
3722 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3723
3724 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3725 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3726 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3727
3728 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3729
3730 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3731
3732 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3733 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3734 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3735
3736 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3737 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3738 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3739 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3740 (CVE-2013-0169)
3741 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3744 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3745 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3746 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3747 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3748 (CVE-2012-2686)
3749 [Adam Langley]
3750
3751 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3752 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3753 [Steve Henson]
3754
3755 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3756 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3757
3758 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3759 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3760 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3761 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3762 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3763
3764 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3768 if renegotiating.
3769 [Steve Henson]
3770
3771 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3772
3773 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3774 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3775
3776 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3777 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3778 (CVE-2012-2333)
3779 [Steve Henson]
3780
3781 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3782 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3783 [Steve Henson]
3784
3785 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3786 approved.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3790
3791 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3792 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3793 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3794 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3795 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3796 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3797 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3798 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3799 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3800 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3801 [Steve Henson]
3802
3803 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3804 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3805 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3806 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3807 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3808 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3809 client side.
3810 [Andy Polyakov]
3811
3812 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3813
3814 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3815 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3816 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3817
3818 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3819 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3820 (CVE-2012-2110)
3821 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3822
3823 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3824 [Adam Langley]
3825
3826 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3827 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3828
3829 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3830 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3831 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3832 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3833 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3834 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3835 Most broken servers should now work.
3836 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3837 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3838 [Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3841 [Andy Polyakov]
3842
3843 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3844
3845 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3846 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3847 [Steve Henson]
3848
3849 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3850 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3851 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3852 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3853 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3854 [Steve Henson]
3855
3856 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3857 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3858 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3859 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3860 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3864 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3865
3866 *) Add support for SCTP.
3867 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3868
3869 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3870 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3871
3872 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3873
3874 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3875 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3876 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3877 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3878 - s390x: z196 support;
3879 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3880
3881 [Andy Polyakov]
3882
3883 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3884 (removal of unnecessary code)
3885 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3886
3887 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3888 [Eric Rescorla]
3889
3890 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3891 [Eric Rescorla]
3892
3893 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3894 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3895 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3896 by Google.
3897 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3898
3899 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3900 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3901 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3902 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3903 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3904
3905 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3906 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3907 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3908
3909 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3910 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3911 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3912
3913 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3914 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3915 implementations).
3916 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3917
3918 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3919 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3920 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3921 [Steve Henson]
3922
3923 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3924 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3925 particular PSS.
3926 [Steve Henson]
3927
3928 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3929 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3930 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3931 [Steve Henson]
3932
3933 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3934 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3935 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3936 the appropriate parameters.
3937 [Steve Henson]
3938
3939 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3940 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3941 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3942 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3943 against a number of sample certificates.
3944 [Steve Henson]
3945
3946 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3947 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3948
3949 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3950 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3951
3952 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3953 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3954 parameters r, s.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3958 RFC3211.
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3962 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3963 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3964 password based CMS).
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) Session-handling fixes:
3968 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3969 but also support Session Tickets.
3970 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3971 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3972 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3973 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3974 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3975 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3976
3977 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3978 [Bodo Moeller]
3979
3980 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3981
3982 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3983 [Andy Polyakov]
3984
3985 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3986 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3987 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3988 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3989 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3990 [Steve Henson]
3991
3992 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3993 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3994 [Steve Henson]
3995
3996 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3997 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3998 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3999 [Steve Henson]
4000
4001 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
4002 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
4003 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
4004 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
4005 [Steve Henson]
4006
4007 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
4008 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
4009 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
4010 [Steve Henson]
4011
4012 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
4013 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
4014
4015 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
4016 [Steve Henson]
4017
4018 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
4019 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
4020 [Steve Henson]
4021
4022 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
4023 [Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
4026 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
4027 [Steve Henson]
4028
4029 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
4030 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
4031 [Steve Henson]
4032
4033 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
4034 [Steve Henson]
4035
4036 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
4037 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
4038 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
4039 [Steve Henson]
4040
4041 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4042 [Steve Henson]
4043
4044 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
4045 [Steve Henson]
4046
4047 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
4048 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
4052 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
4053 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
4054 [Steve Henson]
4055
4056 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
4057 [Steve Henson]
4058
4059 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
4060 and enable MD5.
4061 [Steve Henson]
4062
4063 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
4064 FIPS modules versions.
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
4068 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
4069 until after the certificate request message is received.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
4073 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
4074 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
4075 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
4076 [Steve Henson]
4077
4078 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
4079 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
4080 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
4081 support yet and no support for client certificates.
4082 [Steve Henson]
4083
4084 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
4085 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
4086 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
4087 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
4088 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
4089 and version checking.
4090 [Steve Henson]
4091
4092 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
4093 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
4094 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
4095 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
4099 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
4100 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
4101 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
4102 Ben Laurie]
4103
4104 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
4108 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
4109 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
4110
4111 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
4112 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
4113 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
4114 [Steve Henson]
4115
4116 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
4117 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
4118
4119 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
4120 a few changes are required:
4121
4122 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
4123 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
4124 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
4125 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
4126 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
4127 [Steve Henson]
4128
4129 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
4130
4131 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
4132 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
4133 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
4134 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
4135 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
4136 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
4137 an MMA defence is not necessary.
4138 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
4139 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
4143 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
4144 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
4148
4149 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
4150 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
4151 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
4152 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
4153 [Antonio Martin]
4154
4155 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
4156
4157 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
4158 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
4159 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
4160 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
4161 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
4162 paper describing this attack can be found at:
4163 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
4164 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
4165 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
4166 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
4167 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
4168 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
4169 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
4170
4171 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
4172 (CVE-2011-4576)
4173 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4174
4175 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
4176 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
4177 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
4178 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4179
4180 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
4181 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
4182
4183 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
4184 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
4185 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
4186 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4187
4188 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
4189 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
4190
4191 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
4192 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4193
4194 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
4195 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4196
4197 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
4198 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
4199 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4200
4201 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
4202 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
4203 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
4204
4205 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
4206 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
4207 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
4208 the last update always remained unused).
4209 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
4210
4211 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
4212 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
4213
4214 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
4215
4216 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
4217 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
4218 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
4219
4220 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
4221 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
4222 [Adam Langley (Google)]
4223
4224 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
4225 [Bodo Moeller]
4226
4227 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
4228 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
4229 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
4230 [Steve Henson]
4231
4232 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
4233 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
4234
4235 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
4236
4237 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
4238
4239 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
4240
4241 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
4242 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4243
4244 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
4245 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
4246 ambiguous.
4247 [Steve Henson]
4248
4249 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
4250
4251 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
4252 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
4253 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
4254 [Steve Henson]
4255
4256 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
4257 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
4258 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
4259 [Ben Laurie]
4260
4261 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
4262
4263 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
4264 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
4265 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
4266 [Steve Henson]
4267
4268 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
4269 a DLL.
4270 [Steve Henson]
4271
4272 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
4273
4274 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
4275 (CVE-2010-1633)
4276 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
4277
4278 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
4279
4280 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
4281 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
4282 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
4286 [Steve Henson]
4287
4288 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
4289 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
4290 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
4291
4292 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
4293 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
4294 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
4295 [Steve Henson]
4296
4297 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
4298 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
4299 [Steve Henson]
4300
4301 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
4302 some responders need this.
4303 [Steve Henson]
4304
4305 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
4306 correctly.
4307 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4308
4309 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
4310 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
4311 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
4312 [Steve Henson]
4313
4314 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
4315 [Steve Henson]
4316
4317 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
4318 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
4319 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
4320 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
4321 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
4322 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
4323 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
4324 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
4325 [Steve Henson]
4326
4327 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
4328 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
4329 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
4330 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4331
4332 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
4333 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
4334
4335 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
4336 be used on C++.
4337 [Steve Henson]
4338
4339 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
4340 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
4341 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
4342 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
4343 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
4344 attempting to work them out.
4345 [Steve Henson]
4346
4347 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
4348 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
4349 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
4350 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
4351 [Steve Henson]
4352
4353 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
4354 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
4355 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
4356 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
4357 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
4358 [Steve Henson]
4359
4360 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
4361 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
4362 you can do:
4363
4364 openssl sha256 foo
4365
4366 as well as:
4367
4368 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
4369
4370 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
4371
4372 [Steve Henson]
4373
4374 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
4375 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4376
4377 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
4378 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
4379
4380 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
4381 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
4382 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
4383 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
4384 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
4385 [Steve Henson]
4386
4387 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
4388 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
4389 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
4390 [Steve Henson]
4391
4392 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
4393 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
4394 [Steve Henson]
4395
4396 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
4397 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
4398
4399 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
4400 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
4404 [Ben Laurie]
4405
4406 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
4407 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
4408 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
4409 CONF_VALUE.
4410 [Ben Laurie]
4411
4412 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
4413 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
4414 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
4415 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
4416 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
4417 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
4418 [Steve Henson]
4419
4420 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
4421 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
4422
4423 This work was sponsored by Google.
4424 [Steve Henson]
4425
4426 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
4427 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
4428 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
4429 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
4430 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
4431 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
4432 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
4433 default.
4434
4435 This work was sponsored by Google.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
4439
4440 This work was sponsored by Google.
4441 [Steve Henson]
4442
4443 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
4444 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
4445 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
4446 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
4447
4448 This work was sponsored by Google.
4449 [Steve Henson]
4450
4451 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
4452 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
4453 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
4454 CRL functionality in future.
4455
4456 This work was sponsored by Google.
4457 [Steve Henson]
4458
4459 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
4460
4461 This work was sponsored by Google.
4462 [Steve Henson]
4463
4464 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
4465 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
4466
4467 This work was sponsored by Google.
4468 [Steve Henson]
4469
4470 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
4471 and URI types are currently supported.
4472
4473 This work was sponsored by Google.
4474 [Steve Henson]
4475
4476 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
4477 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
4478 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
4479 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
4480 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
4481 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
4482 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
4483 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
4484
4485 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
4486 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
4487 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
4488
4489 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
4490 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
4491 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
4492 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
4493
4494 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
4495 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
4496 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
4497 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
4498 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
4499 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
4500 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
4501 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
4502 of &errno.)
4503 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
4504
4505 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
4506 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
4507 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
4508
4509 This work was sponsored by Google.
4510 [Steve Henson]
4511
4512 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
4513 [Ben Laurie]
4514
4515 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4516 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
4517 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
4518 [Ben Laurie]
4519
4520 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
4521 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
4522 [Nick Mathewson]
4523
4524 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
4525 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
4526 [Ben Laurie]
4527
4528 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
4529 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
4530 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
4531 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
4532 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
4533 content types and variants.
4534 [Steve Henson]
4535
4536 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
4537 [Steve Henson]
4538
4539 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
4540 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
4541 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
4542 files from the associated perl scripts.
4543 [Steve Henson]
4544
4545 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
4546 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
4547 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4548
4549 *) s390x assembler pack.
4550 [Andy Polyakov]
4551
4552 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
4553 "family."
4554 [Andy Polyakov]
4555
4556 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
4557 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
4558 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
4559 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
4560 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
4561 to use. For example, specify an option
4562
4563 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
4564
4565 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
4566 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
4567 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
4568 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
4569 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
4570 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
4571
4572 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
4573 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
4574 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
4575 return non-zero for success.
4576
4577 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
4578 by using
4579
4580 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
4581 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4582
4583 where
4584
4585 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
4586 void *arg;
4587
4588 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
4589 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
4590 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
4591 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
4592 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
4593 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
4594 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
4595 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
4596 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
4597
4598 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
4599 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
4600 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
4601 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
4602 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
4603 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
4604
4605 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
4606 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
4607 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
4608 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
4609 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
4610 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
4611
4612 [Bodo Moeller]
4613
4614 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
4615 MAC.
4616
4617 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
4618
4619 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4620 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4621 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4622 supported.
4623
4624 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4625 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4626 SSL_SESSION.
4627
4628 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4629 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4630 with no application modification.
4631
4632 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4633 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4634
4635 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4636 or server extensions to be examined.
4637
4638 This work was sponsored by Google.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
4642 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
4643 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
4644
4645 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
4646 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
4647 ciphersuite support.
4648 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
4649
4650 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
4651 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
4652 to output in BER and PEM format.
4653 [Steve Henson]
4654
4655 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
4656 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4657 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4658 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4659 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4660 [Steve Henson]
4661
4662 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4663 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4664 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4665 utility.
4666 [Steve Henson]
4667
4668 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4669 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4670 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4671 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4672 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4673 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4674 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4675 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4676 enabled again.
4677
4678 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4679 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4680 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4681 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4682
4683 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4684 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4685 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4686 the default order.
4687 [Bodo Moeller]
4688
4689 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4690 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4691 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4692 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4693 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4694 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4695 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4696 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4697 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4698
4699 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4700 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4701 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4702 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4703 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4704 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4705 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4706 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4707 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4708 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4709 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4710 kinds of kludges.
4711
4712 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4713 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4714 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4715
4716 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4717 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4718 "CAMELLIA256".
4719 [Bodo Moeller]
4720
4721 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4722 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4723 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4724 [Nils Larsch]
4725
4726 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4727 it yet and it is largely untested.
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4731 [Nils Larsch]
4732
4733 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4734 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4735 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4736 [Steve Henson]
4737
4738 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4739 [Andy Polyakov]
4740
4741 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4742 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4743 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4744 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4745 [Steve Henson]
4746
4747 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4748 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4749 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4750 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4751 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4752 [Steve Henson]
4753
4754 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4755 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4756 [Cryptocom]
4757
4758 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4759 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4760 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4761 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4762 [Steve Henson]
4763
4764 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4765 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4766 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4767 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4768 [Steve Henson]
4769
4770 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4771 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4772 [Steve Henson]
4773
4774 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4775 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4776 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4777 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4781 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4782 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4783 [Steve Henson]
4784
4785 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4786 utility.
4787 [Steve Henson]
4788
4789 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4790 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4794 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4795 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4796 if necessary.
4797 [Steve Henson]
4798
4799 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4800 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4801 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4802 [Steve Henson]
4803
4804 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4805 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4806 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4807 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4808 [Steve Henson]
4809
4810 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4811 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4812 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4813 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4814 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4815 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4816 [Douglas Stebila]
4817
4818 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4819 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4820 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4821 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4822 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4823
4824 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4825 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4826 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4827 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4828 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4829 protocol).
4830
4831 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4832 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4833 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4834 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4835
4836 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4837 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4838 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4839 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4840 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4841
4842 aECDH - ECDH cert
4843 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4844 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4845
4846 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4847 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4848
4849 [Bodo Moeller]
4850
4851 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4852 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4853 [Steve Henson]
4854
4855 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4856 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4857 [Steve Henson]
4858
4859 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4860 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4861 functional reference processing.
4862 [Steve Henson]
4863
4864 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4865 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4866 process.
4867 [Steve Henson]
4868
4869 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4870 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4871 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4872 [Steve Henson]
4873
4874 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4875 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4876 application to support multiple signers.
4877 [Steve Henson]
4878
4879 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4880 digest MAC.
4881 [Steve Henson]
4882
4883 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4884 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4885 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4886 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4887 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4888 [Steve Henson]
4889
4890 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4891 new API.
4892 [Steve Henson]
4893
4894 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4895 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4896 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4897 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4898 a no op.
4899 [Steve Henson]
4900
4901 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4902 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4903 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4904 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4905 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4906 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4907 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4908 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4909 [Steve Henson]
4910
4911 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4912 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4913 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4914 between digests and public key types.
4915 [Steve Henson]
4916
4917 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4918 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4919 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4920 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4921 [Steve Henson]
4922
4923 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4924 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4925 key ASN1 method.
4926 [Steve Henson]
4927
4928 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4929 [Steve Henson]
4930
4931 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4932 pkeyutl.
4933 [Steve Henson]
4934
4935 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4936 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4937 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4938 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4939 pkey, genpkey.
4940 [Steve Henson]
4941
4942 *) BeOS support.
4943 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4944
4945 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4946 manual pages.
4947 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4948
4949 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4950 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4951 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4952 functionality for RSA.
4953 [Steve Henson]
4954
4955 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4956 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4957 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4958 [Steve Henson]
4959
4960 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4961 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4962 [Steve Henson]
4963
4964 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4965 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4966 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4967 [Steve Henson]
4968
4969 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4970 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4971 [Douglas Stebila]
4972
4973 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4974 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4978 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4979 type.
4980 [Steve Henson]
4981
4982 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4983 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4984 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4985 structure.
4986 [Steve Henson]
4987
4988 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4989 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4990 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4991 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4992 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4993 of public and private key structures.
4994 [Steve Henson]
4995
4996 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4997 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4998 [Douglas Stebila]
4999
5000 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
5001 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
5002 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
5003
5004 New ciphersuites:
5005 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
5006 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
5007
5008 New functions:
5009 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
5010 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
5011 SSL_get_psk_identity
5012 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
5013
5014 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
5015
5016 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
5017 and response verification functionality.
5018 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
5019
5020 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5021 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5022 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5023 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5024 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5025 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5026 server_name extension.
5027
5028 New functions (subject to change):
5029
5030 SSL_get_servername()
5031 SSL_get_servername_type()
5032 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5033
5034 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5035
5036 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5037 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5038 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5039 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5040 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5041
5042 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5043
5044 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5045 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5046 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5047 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5048 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5049 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5050 option.
5051
5052 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
5053
5054 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
5055 [Andy Polyakov]
5056
5057 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
5058 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
5059 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
5060 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
5061 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
5062 [Andy Polyakov]
5063
5064 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
5065 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
5066 macro.
5067 [Bodo Moeller]
5068
5069 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
5070 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
5071 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
5072 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
5073 [Andy Polyakov]
5074
5075 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
5076 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
5077 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
5078 using the maximum available value.
5079 [Steve Henson]
5080
5081 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
5082 in addition to the text details.
5083 [Bodo Moeller]
5084
5085 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
5086 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
5087 handle several customised structures at all.
5088 [Steve Henson]
5089
5090 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
5091 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
5092 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
5093 [Steve Henson]
5094
5095 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
5096 [Steve Henson]
5097
5098 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
5099 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
5100 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
5101 [Steve Henson]
5102
5103 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
5104 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
5105 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
5106 [Nils Larsch]
5107
5108 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
5109 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
5110 all fields.
5111 [Steve Henson]
5112
5113 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
5114 [Steve Henson]
5115
5116 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
5117 [NTT]
5118
5119 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
5120
5121 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
5122 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
5123 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
5124 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
5125 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
5126 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
5127 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
5128 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
5129
5130 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
5131 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
5132 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
5133
5134 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
5135
5136 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
5137 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
5138
5139 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
5140 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
5141 [Bodo Moeller]
5142
5143 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
5144 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
5145 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
5146 [Steve Henson]
5147
5148 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
5149 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
5150 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
5151 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
5152 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
5153 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
5154 [Steve Henson]
5155
5156 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
5157 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
5158 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
5159 [Steve Henson]
5160
5161 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
5162 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
5163 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
5164 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
5165 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
5166 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
5167 CVE-2009-4355.
5168 [Steve Henson]
5169
5170 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
5171 change when encrypting or decrypting.
5172 [Bodo Moeller]
5173
5174 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
5175 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
5176 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
5177 [Steve Henson]
5178
5179 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
5180 [Steve Henson]
5181
5182 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
5183 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
5184 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
5185 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
5186 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
5187 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
5188 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
5189 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
5190 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
5191 [Steve Henson]
5192
5193 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
5194 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
5195 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
5196 [Steve Henson]
5197
5198 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
5199 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
5200 [Steve Henson]
5201
5202 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
5203 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
5204 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
5205 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
5206 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
5207 know what you are doing.
5208 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
5209
5210 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
5211 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
5212 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
5213 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
5214 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
5215 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
5216 the handshake.
5217 [Steve Henson]
5218
5219 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
5220 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
5221 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
5222 correctly.
5223 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
5224
5225 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
5226 warnings in other configurations.
5227 [Steve Henson]
5228
5229 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
5230 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
5231 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
5232 systems need.
5233 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
5234
5235 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
5236 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
5237 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
5238
5239 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
5240 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
5241 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
5242 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
5243 [Steve Henson]
5244
5245 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
5246 and restored.
5247 [Steve Henson]
5248
5249 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
5250 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
5251 clash.
5252 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
5253
5254 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
5255 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
5256 other than a simple chain.
5257 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
5258
5259 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
5260 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
5261 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
5262 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
5263 [Steve Henson]
5264
5265 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
5266 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
5267 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
5268 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
5269 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
5270 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
5271 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
5272 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
5273 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5274
5275 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
5276 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
5277 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
5278 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
5279 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
5280 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
5281 (CVE-2009-1377)
5282 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
5283
5284 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
5285 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
5286 [Daniel Mentz]
5287
5288 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
5289 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
5290
5291 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
5292 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
5293
5294 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
5295
5296 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
5297 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
5298 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
5299 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
5300 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
5301 you're doing.
5302 [Ben Laurie]
5303
5304 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
5305
5306 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
5307 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
5308 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
5309 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
5310
5311 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
5312 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
5313 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
5314 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5315
5316 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
5317 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
5318 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
5319 [Steve Henson]
5320
5321 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
5322 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
5323 level.
5324 [Steve Henson]
5325
5326 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
5327 to handle some structures.
5328 [Steve Henson]
5329
5330 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
5331 for a '\n'
5332 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
5333
5334 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
5335 [Matthieu Herrb]
5336
5337 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
5338 [Steve Henson]
5339
5340 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
5341 [Steve Henson]
5342
5343 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
5344 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
5345 chosen compiler.
5346 [Ben Laurie]
5347
5348 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
5349
5350 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
5351 (CVE-2008-5077).
5352 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
5353
5354 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
5355 [Ben Laurie]
5356
5357 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
5358 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
5359 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
5360 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
5361
5362 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
5363 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
5364
5365 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
5366 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
5367 [Bodo Moeller]
5368
5369 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
5370 s_client and s_server.
5371 [Ben Laurie]
5372
5373 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
5374 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
5375
5376 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
5377 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
5378
5379 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
5380 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
5381 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
5382 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
5383 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
5384 [Bodo Moeller]
5385
5386 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
5387
5388 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
5389 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
5390 [PR #1679]
5391
5392 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
5393 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
5394 [Nagendra Modadugu]
5395
5396 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
5397 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
5398 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
5399 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
5400
5401 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
5402 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
5403
5404 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
5405
5406 *) Various precautionary measures:
5407
5408 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
5409
5410 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
5411 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
5412 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
5413
5414 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
5415 outside the expected range.
5416
5417 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
5418 builds.
5419
5420 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
5421
5422 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
5423 the load fails. Useful for distros.
5424 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
5425
5426 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
5427 [Steve Henson]
5428
5429 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
5430 [Huang Ying]
5431
5432 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
5433
5434 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5435 [Steve Henson]
5436
5437 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
5438 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
5439 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
5440
5441 This work was sponsored by Logica.
5442 [Steve Henson]
5443
5444 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
5445 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
5446 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
5447 files.
5448 [Steve Henson]
5449
5450 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
5451
5452 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
5453 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
5454 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
5455 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
5456
5457 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
5458 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
5459 [Joe Orton]
5460
5461 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
5462
5463 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
5464 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
5465 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
5466
5467 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
5468
5469 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
5470 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
5471 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
5472 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
5473 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5474
5475 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
5476 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
5477 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
5478 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
5479 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
5480 invalid read after the end of 'db').
5481 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
5482
5483 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
5484
5485 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
5486 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
5487 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
5488 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
5489 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
5490
5491 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
5492 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
5493
5494 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
5495 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
5496 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
5497 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
5498 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
5499
5500 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
5501
5502 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
5503 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
5504 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
5505 sets may exist with different names.
5506 [Steve Henson]
5507
5508 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
5509 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
5510 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
5511 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
5512 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
5513 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
5514 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
5515 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
5516 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
5517 implementation.
5518 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
5519
5520 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
5521 implementation in the following ways:
5522
5523 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
5524 hard coded.
5525
5526 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
5527 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
5528 ignored for embedded content.
5529
5530 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
5531 with the enable-cms configuration option.
5532 [Steve Henson]
5533
5534 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
5535 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
5536 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
5537 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
5538
5539 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
5540 uncompresses any data passed through it.
5541 [Steve Henson]
5542
5543 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
5544 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
5545 [Steve Henson]
5546
5547 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
5548 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
5549 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
5550 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
5551 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
5552 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
5553 data.
5554 [Steve Henson]
5555
5556 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
5557 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
5558 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
5559
5560 *) Netware support:
5561
5562 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
5563 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
5564 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
5565 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
5566 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
5567 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
5568 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
5569 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
5570 platform
5571 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
5572 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
5573 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
5574 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
5575 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
5576 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
5577 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
5578
5579 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
5580 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
5581 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
5582 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
5583 to s_client and s_server.
5584 [Steve Henson]
5585
5586 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
5587
5588 *) Fix various bugs:
5589 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
5590 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
5591 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
5592 + Fix ia64 assembler code
5593 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
5594
5595 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
5596
5597 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
5598 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
5599 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
5600 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
5601 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
5602 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
5603 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
5604 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
5605 [Andy Polyakov]
5606
5607 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
5608 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
5609 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
5610 Steve Henson]
5611
5612 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
5613 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
5614 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
5615 supported.
5616
5617 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
5618 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
5619 SSL_SESSION.
5620
5621 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
5622 protection in servers so again support should be possible
5623 with no application modification.
5624
5625 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
5626 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
5627
5628 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
5629 or server extensions to be examined.
5630
5631 This work was sponsored by Google.
5632 [Steve Henson]
5633
5634 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
5635 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
5636 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
5637 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
5638 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
5639 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
5640 server_name extension.
5641
5642 New functions (subject to change):
5643
5644 SSL_get_servername()
5645 SSL_get_servername_type()
5646 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
5647
5648 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
5649
5650 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
5651 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
5652 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
5653 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
5654 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
5655
5656 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5657
5658 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5659 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5660 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5661 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5662 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5663 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5664 option.
5665
5666 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5667
5668 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5669 [Steve Henson]
5670
5671 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5672 [Andy Polyakov]
5673
5674 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5675 (which previously caused an internal error).
5676 [Bodo Moeller]
5677
5678 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5679 [Ben Laurie]
5680
5681 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5682 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5683
5684 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5685 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5686 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5687
5688 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5689 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5690 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5691 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5692
5693 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5694 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5695 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5696 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5697
5698 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5699 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5700 information. For detailed background information, see
5701 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5702 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5703 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5704 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5705 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5706 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5707 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5708 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5709 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5710 remove a conditional branch.
5711
5712 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5713 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5714 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5715 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5716 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5717 remains as a deprecated alias.
5718
5719 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5720 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5721 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5722 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5723
5724 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5725 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5726 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5727 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5728 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5729 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5730 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5731 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5732
5733 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5734
5735 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5736 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5737 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5738 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5739 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5740 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5741 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5742 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5743 in a different context.
5744 [Bodo Moeller]
5745
5746 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5747 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5748 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5749 [Bodo Moeller]
5750
5751 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5752 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5753 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5754
5755 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5756
5757 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5758 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5759 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5760 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5761 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5762 [Victor Duchovni]
5763
5764 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5765 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5766 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5767 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5768 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5769 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5770 [Bodo Moeller]
5771
5772 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5773 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5774 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5775 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5776 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5777 [Bodo Moeller]
5778
5779 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5780 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5781
5782 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5783 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5784 Improve header file function name parsing.
5785 [Steve Henson]
5786
5787 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5788 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5789 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5790
5791 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5792
5793 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5794 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5795 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5796
5797 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5798 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5799
5800 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5801 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5802
5803 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5804 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5805 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5806
5807 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5808 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5809 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5810 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5811 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5812 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5813 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5814 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5815 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5816
5817 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5818 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5819 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5820 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5821 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5822
5823 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5824 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5825 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5826 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5827 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5828 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5829 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5830 multiple values to extend the available space.
5831
5832 [Bodo Moeller]
5833
5834 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5835
5836 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5837 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5838
5839 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5840 [Ben Laurie]
5841
5842 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5843 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5844 undesirable limitations.
5845 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5846
5847 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5848 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5849 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5850 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5851 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5852 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5853 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5854 [Bodo Moeller]
5855
5856 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5857
5858 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5859 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5860 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5861
5862 The latter two were purportedly from
5863 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5864 appear there.
5865
5866 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5867 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5868 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5869 [Bodo Moeller]
5870
5871 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5872 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5873 [Bodo Moeller]
5874
5875 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5876 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5877 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5878 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5879
5880 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5881 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5882 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5883 [NTT]
5884
5885 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5886 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5887 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5888 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5889 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5890 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5891 [Steve Henson]
5892
5893 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5894
5895 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5896 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5897 [Steve Henson]
5898
5899 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5900 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5901
5902 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5903 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5904 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5905 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5906 [Douglas Stebila]
5907
5908 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5909 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5910 [Steve Henson]
5911
5912 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5913 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5914 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5915 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5916 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5917 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5918 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5919 can't be loaded.
5920 [Steve Henson]
5921
5922 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5923 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5924 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5925 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5926 [Steve Henson]
5927
5928 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5929 under VC++ build system.
5930 [Steve Henson]
5931
5932 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5933 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5934 [Richard Levitte]
5935
5936 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5937
5938 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5939 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5940 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5941 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5942 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5943
5944 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5945 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5946 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5947
5948 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5952 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5953 [Nils Larsch]
5954
5955 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5956 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5957
5958 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5959 [Nick Mathewson]
5960
5961 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5962 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5963
5964 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5965 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5966 [Steve Henson]
5967
5968 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5969 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5970 smime utility.
5971 [Steve Henson]
5972
5973 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5974
5975 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5976 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5977
5978 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5979 [Richard Levitte]
5980
5981 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5982 key into the same file any more.
5983 [Richard Levitte]
5984
5985 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5986 [Andy Polyakov]
5987
5988 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5989 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5990
5991 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5992 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5993 [Richard Levitte]
5994
5995 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5996 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5997 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5998 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5999 this only applies when building 'shared'.
6000 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
6001
6002 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
6003 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
6004 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
6005 [Steve Henson]
6006
6007 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
6008 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
6009 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
6010 - add new function for parameter creation
6011 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
6012 BN_BLINDING parameters
6013 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
6014 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
6015 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
6016 threads.
6017 [Nils Larsch]
6018
6019 *) Add support for DTLS.
6020 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
6021
6022 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
6023 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
6024 [Walter Goulet]
6025
6026 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
6027 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
6028 [Nils Larsch]
6029
6030 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
6031 the apps/openssl applications.
6032 [Nils Larsch]
6033
6034 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
6035 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
6036 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
6037 [Ben Laurie]
6038
6039 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
6040 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
6041
6042 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
6043 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
6044
6045 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
6046 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
6047 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
6048 avoid this algorithm.)
6049
6050 [Bodo Moeller]
6051
6052 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
6053 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
6054 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
6055 [Richard Levitte]
6056
6057 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
6058 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
6059 [Andy Polyakov]
6060
6061 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
6062 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
6063 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
6064 pod file:
6065
6066 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
6067
6068 The blank line is mandatory.
6069
6070 [Steve Henson]
6071
6072 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
6073 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
6074 sources.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
6078 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
6079
6080 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
6081 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
6082 to support policy checking and print out.
6083 [Steve Henson]
6084
6085 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
6086 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
6087 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
6088 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
6089
6090 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
6091 [Geoff Thorpe]
6092
6093 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
6094 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
6095
6096 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
6097 implementation contributed by IBM.
6098 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
6099
6100 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
6101 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
6102 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
6103 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
6104
6105 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
6106 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
6107
6108 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
6109 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
6110 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
6111 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
6112 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
6113 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
6114 [Steve Henson]
6115
6116 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
6117 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
6118 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
6119 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
6120 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
6121 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
6122 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
6123 [Geoff Thorpe]
6124
6125 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
6126 [Steve Henson]
6127
6128 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
6129 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
6130 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
6131 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
6132 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
6133 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
6134 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
6135 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
6136 [Steve Henson]
6137
6138 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
6139 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
6140 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
6141 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
6142 [Steve Henson]
6143
6144 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
6145 syntax:
6146
6147 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
6148 [Steve Henson]
6149
6150 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
6151 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
6152 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
6153 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
6154 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
6155 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
6156 BN_CTX's "bundling".
6157 [Geoff Thorpe]
6158
6159 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
6160 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
6161 [Geoff Thorpe]
6162
6163 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
6164 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
6165 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
6166 [Steve Henson]
6167
6168 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
6169 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
6170 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
6171 below).
6172 [Geoff Thorpe]
6173
6174 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
6175 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
6176 [Richard Levitte]
6177
6178 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
6179 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
6180 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
6181 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
6182 [Geoff Thorpe]
6183
6184 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
6185 initialised value as BN_new().
6186 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
6187
6188 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
6189 [Steve Henson]
6190
6191 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
6192 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
6193 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
6194 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
6195 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
6196 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
6197 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
6198 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
6199 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
6200 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
6201 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
6202 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
6203 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
6204 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
6205 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
6206
6207 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
6208 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
6209 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
6210 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
6211 [Geoff Thorpe]
6212
6213 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
6214 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
6215 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
6216 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
6217 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
6218 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
6219 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
6220 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
6221 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
6222 [Geoff Thorpe]
6223
6224 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
6225 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
6226 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
6227 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
6228 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
6229 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
6230 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
6231 [Geoff Thorpe]
6232
6233 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
6234 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
6235 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
6236 these have been updated also.
6237 [Geoff Thorpe]
6238
6239 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
6240 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
6241 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
6242 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
6243 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
6244 functions.
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
6248 structure of type "other".
6249 [Steve Henson]
6250
6251 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
6252 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
6253 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
6254 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
6255 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
6256 situation in the script.
6257 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6258
6259 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
6260 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
6261 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
6262 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
6263 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
6264 used as premaster secret.
6265 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6266
6267 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
6268 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
6269 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6270
6271 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
6272 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
6275 control of the error stack.
6276 [Richard Levitte]
6277
6278 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
6279 [Richard Levitte]
6280
6281 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
6282 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
6283 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
6284 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
6285 [Richard Levitte]
6286
6287 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
6288 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
6289 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
6290 [Richard Levitte]
6291
6292 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
6293 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
6294 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
6295 a memory area.
6296 [Richard Levitte]
6297
6298 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
6299 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
6300 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
6301 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
6302 [Richard Levitte]
6303
6304 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
6305 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
6306 the following flags are defined:
6307
6308 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
6309 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6310 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
6311 number.
6312
6313 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
6314 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
6315 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
6316 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
6317 returns zero.
6318 [Richard Levitte]
6319
6320 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
6321 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
6322 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
6323 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
6324 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
6325 [Richard Levitte]
6326
6327 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
6328 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
6329 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
6330 [Richard Levitte]
6331
6332 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6333 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6334 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6335 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6336 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6337 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6338 [Richard Levitte]
6339
6340 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
6341 req and dirName.
6342 [Steve Henson]
6343
6344 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
6345 [Steve Henson]
6346
6347 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
6348 [Steve Henson]
6349
6350 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
6351 [Steve Henson]
6352
6353 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
6354 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
6355 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
6356 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
6357 default implementation more easily.
6358 [Geoff Thorpe]
6359
6360 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
6361 in config files.
6362 [Steve Henson]
6363
6364 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
6365 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
6366 [Richard Levitte]
6367
6368 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
6369 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
6370 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
6371 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
6372
6373 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
6374 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
6375 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
6376 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
6377 [Steve Henson]
6378
6379 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
6380 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
6381 to do it.
6382 [Richard Levitte]
6383
6384 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
6385 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
6386 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
6387 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
6388 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
6389 scalar * generator).
6390 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
6391
6392 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
6393 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
6394 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
6395 correctly.
6396 [Steve Henson]
6397
6398 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
6399 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
6400 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
6401 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
6402 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
6403 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
6404 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
6405 linker additions, eg;
6406 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
6407 [Geoff Thorpe]
6408
6409 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
6410 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
6411 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
6412 [Geoff Thorpe]
6413
6414 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6415 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6416 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
6417 via PR#459)
6418 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6419
6420 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
6421 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
6422 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
6423 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
6424 [Geoff Thorpe]
6425
6426 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
6427 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
6428 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
6429 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
6430 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
6431 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
6432 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
6433 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
6434 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
6435 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
6436
6437 Example for using the new callback interface:
6438
6439 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
6440 void *my_arg = ...;
6441 BN_GENCB my_cb;
6442
6443 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
6444
6445 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
6446 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
6447 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
6448 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
6449 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
6450 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
6451 */
6452
6453 [Geoff Thorpe]
6454
6455 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
6456 available to TLS with the number defined in
6457 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
6458 [Richard Levitte]
6459
6460 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
6461 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
6462
6463 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
6464 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6465 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
6466 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
6467
6468 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
6469 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
6470
6471 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
6472 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
6473 well.
6474 [Richard Levitte]
6475
6476 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
6477 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
6478 [Richard Levitte]
6479
6480 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
6481 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
6482 and a macro that behave like
6483 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
6484
6485 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
6486 [Nils Larsch]
6487
6488 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
6489 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
6490 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
6491 if applicable.
6492 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6493
6494 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
6495 [Bodo Moeller]
6496
6497 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
6498 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
6499 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
6500 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
6501 directory engines/.
6502 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
6503 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
6504 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
6505 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
6506 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
6507 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
6508 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
6509 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
6510
6511 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
6512 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
6513 [Richard Levitte]
6514
6515 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
6516 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
6517
6518 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
6519 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
6520 files while avoiding the low level API.
6521
6522 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
6523 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
6524 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
6525 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
6526
6527 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
6528 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
6529 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
6530 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
6531 instead of the low level API.
6532 [Steve Henson]
6533
6534 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
6535 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
6536 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
6537 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
6538 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
6539 PKCS#7 code.
6540
6541 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
6542 down to the template encoder.
6543 [Steve Henson]
6544
6545 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
6546 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
6547 [Bodo Moeller]
6548
6549 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
6550 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
6551 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
6552 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6553
6554 *) Add ECDH engine support.
6555 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6556
6557 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
6558 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6559
6560 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
6561 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
6562 [Bodo Moeller]
6563
6564 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
6565 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
6566 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
6567 [Bodo Moeller]
6568
6569 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
6570 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
6571
6572 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6573 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6574
6575 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
6576 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
6577 New EC_METHOD:
6578
6579 EC_GF2m_simple_method
6580
6581 New API functions:
6582
6583 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
6584 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
6585 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
6586 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6587 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
6588 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
6589
6590 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
6591 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
6592 enable it).
6593
6594 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
6595 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
6596 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
6597 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
6598 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
6599 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
6600 various internal method names.)
6601
6602 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
6603 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
6604
6605 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6606 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6607
6608 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
6609 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
6610
6611 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
6612 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
6613 methods are undefined.
6614
6615 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6616 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6617
6618 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
6619 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
6620 length of the modulus.
6621
6622 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6623 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6624
6625 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
6626 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
6627
6628 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6629 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6630
6631 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
6632 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
6633 used) in the following functions [macros]:
6634
6635 BN_GF2m_add
6636 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
6637 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
6638 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
6639 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
6640 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
6641 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
6642 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
6643 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
6644 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
6645
6646 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
6647 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
6648
6649 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
6650 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
6651 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
6652 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
6653 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
6654 where
6655 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
6656 This applies to the following functions:
6657
6658 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6659 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6660 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6661 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6662 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6663 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6664 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6665 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6666 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6667 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6668
6669 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6670
6671 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6672 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6673
6674 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6675
6676 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6677 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6678 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6679 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6680 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6681
6682 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6683 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6684
6685 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6686 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6687 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6688
6689 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6690 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6691
6692 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6693 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6694 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6695 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6696 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6697
6698 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6699 functions
6700 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6701 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6702 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6703 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6704 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6705 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6706 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6707 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6708 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6709 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6710 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6711 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6712
6713 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6714 functions
6715 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6716 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6717 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6718 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6719 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6720
6721 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6722 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6723 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6724 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6725
6726 *) Add functions
6727 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6728 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6729 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6730 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6731 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6732 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6733 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6734
6735 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6736 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6737 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6738 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6739 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6740 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6741 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6742 adding different types of curves.
6743 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6744
6745 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6746 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6747 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6748 [Bodo Moeller]
6749
6750 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6751 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6752
6753 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6754 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6755 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6756 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6757
6758 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6759
6760 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6761 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6762
6763 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6764 library. Most notably,
6765 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6766 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6767 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6768 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6769 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6770 extracted before the specific public key;
6771 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6772 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6773
6774 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6775 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6776 function
6777 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6778 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6779 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6780 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6781 accessed via
6782 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6783 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6784 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6785
6786 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6787 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6788 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6789 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6790 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6791 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6792 differing sizes.
6793 [Richard Levitte]
6794
6795 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6796
6797 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6798 sensitive data.
6799 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6800
6801 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6802 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6803 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6804 [Bodo Moeller]
6805
6806 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6807 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6808 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6809 [Victor Duchovni]
6810
6811 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6812 [Steve Henson]
6813
6814 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6815 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6816 [Steve Henson]
6817
6818 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6819 run algorithm test programs.
6820 [Steve Henson]
6821
6822 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6823 [Steve Henson]
6824
6825 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6826 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6827 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6828 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6829 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6830 [Bodo Moeller]
6831
6832 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6833 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6834 [Steve Henson]
6835
6836 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6837
6838 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6839 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6840 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6841
6842 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6843 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6844
6845 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6846 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6847
6848 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6849 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6850 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6851
6852 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6853 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6854 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6855 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6856 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6857 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6858 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6859 [Bodo Moeller]
6860
6861 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6862
6863 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6864 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6865
6866 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6867 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6868 undesirable limitations.
6869 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6870
6871 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6872
6873 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6874 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6875 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6876
6877 The latter two were purportedly from
6878 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6879 appear there.
6880
6881 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6882 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6883 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6884 [Bodo Moeller]
6885
6886 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6887 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6888 [Bodo Moeller]
6889
6890 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6891
6892 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6893 module in FIPS mode.
6894 [Steve Henson]
6895
6896 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6897 [Steve Henson]
6898
6899 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6900 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6901 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6902 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6906
6907 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6908 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6909 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6910 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6911 the difference induced by this change.
6912 [Andy Polyakov]
6913
6914 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6915
6916 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6917 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6918 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6919 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6920 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6921
6922 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6923 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6924 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6925
6926 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6927 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6928 [Steve Henson]
6929
6930 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6931 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6932 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6933 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6934 biased k.)
6935 [Bodo Moeller]
6936
6937 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6938 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6939 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6940 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6941 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6942
6943 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6944 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6945 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6946 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6947 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6948 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6949
6950 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6951
6952 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6953 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6954 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6955 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6956 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6957 [Bodo Moeller]
6958
6959 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6960 clients need.
6961 [Steve Henson]
6962
6963 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6964 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6965 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6966 [Steve Henson]
6967
6968 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6969 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6970 structures constant.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6974
6975 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6976 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6977
6978 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6979 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6980 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6981 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6982 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6983 some needed definitions.
6984 [Steve Henson]
6985
6986 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6987 [Ulf Möller]
6988
6989 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6990 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6991 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6992 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6993 [Richard Levitte]
6994
6995 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6996
6997 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6998 server and client random values. Previously
6999 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
7000 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
7001
7002 This change has negligible security impact because:
7003
7004 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
7005 data.
7006
7007 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
7008 handshake.
7009
7010 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
7011 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
7012 values.
7013
7014 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
7015 to our attention.
7016
7017 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
7018
7019 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
7020 [Ulf Möller]
7021
7022 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
7023 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
7024 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
7025
7026 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
7027 [Steve Henson]
7028
7029 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
7030 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
7031 [Andy Polyakov]
7032
7033 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
7034 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
7035 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
7036
7037 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
7038 [Steve Henson]
7039
7040 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
7041 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
7042 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
7043 certificates.
7044 [Steve Henson]
7045
7046 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
7047 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
7048 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
7049 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
7050
7051 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
7052 has chosen to ignore this fault)
7053 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
7054 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
7055 been given)
7056 [Richard Levitte]
7057
7058 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
7059
7060 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
7061 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
7062 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
7063 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
7064 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
7065 [Steve Henson]
7066
7067 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
7068 [Steve Henson]
7069
7070 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
7071 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
7072
7073 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
7074 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
7075 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
7076 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
7077 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
7078 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
7079 rather than being initialized to 1.
7080 [Steve Henson]
7081
7082 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
7083
7084 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7085 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7086 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7087
7088 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
7089 (CVE-2004-0112)
7090 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7091
7092 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
7093 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
7094 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
7095 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
7096 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
7097 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
7098 [Richard Levitte]
7099
7100 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
7101 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
7102 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
7103 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
7104 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
7105 for these cases.
7106 [Steve Henson]
7107
7108 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
7109 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
7110 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
7111 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
7112 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
7116 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
7117 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
7118 < 0.9.7.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
7122 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7123
7124 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
7125 [Steve Henson]
7126
7127 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
7128
7129 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7130
7131 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7132 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7133
7134 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
7135
7136 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7137 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7138
7139 [Steve Henson]
7140
7141 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
7142 exiting on the first error in a request.
7143 [Steve Henson]
7144
7145 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7146 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7147 specifications.
7148 [Steve Henson]
7149
7150 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7151 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7152 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7153 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7154
7155 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7156 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7157 [Richard Levitte]
7158
7159 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
7160 blocks during encryption.
7161 [Richard Levitte]
7162
7163 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
7164 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
7165 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
7166 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
7167 certain size.
7168 [Steve Henson]
7169
7170 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
7171 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
7172 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
7173 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
7174 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
7175 parser.
7176 [Steve Henson]
7177
7178 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
7179
7180 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7181 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7182 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7183 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7184 [Bodo Moeller]
7185
7186 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7187 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7188 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7189 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7190 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7191
7192 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7193 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7194 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7195 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7196 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7197 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7198 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7199 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7200 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7201 [Bodo Moeller]
7202
7203 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
7204 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
7205 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
7206 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
7207 [Geoff Thorpe]
7208
7209 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
7210 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
7211 [Ulf Moeller]
7212
7213 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
7214
7215 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7216 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
7217 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7218 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7219 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7220
7221 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7222 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7223 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7224
7225 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
7226 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
7227 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
7228 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
7229 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
7230
7231 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have its
7232 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
7233 used by default when no-err is given.
7234 [Richard Levitte]
7235
7236 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
7237 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
7238
7239 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
7240 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
7241 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
7242 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
7243 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
7244
7245 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
7246 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
7247 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
7248 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
7249
7250 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
7251
7252 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7253
7254 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
7255
7256 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
7257 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
7258 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
7259 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
7260 root is omitted).
7261 [Steve Henson]
7262
7263 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
7264 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7265
7266 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
7267 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
7271 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
7272 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
7273 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
7274 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7275
7276 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
7277 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
7278 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
7279 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
7280 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
7281 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7282 followup to PR #377.
7283 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7284
7285 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
7286 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
7287 [Andy Polyakov]
7288
7289 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
7290 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
7291 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
7292 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
7293
7294 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
7295
7296 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
7297 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
7298
7299 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
7300 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
7301 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
7302 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
7303 client and server.
7304 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
7305 PR #377.
7306 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7307
7308 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
7309 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
7310 removed entirely.
7311 [Richard Levitte]
7312
7313 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
7314 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
7315 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
7316 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
7317 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
7318 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
7319 of libcrypto.
7320 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
7321 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
7322 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
7323 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
7324 have to be made anyway).
7325 [Richard Levitte]
7326
7327 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
7328 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
7329 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
7330 [Steve Henson]
7331
7332 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
7333 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
7334 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
7335 [Richard Levitte]
7336
7337 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
7338 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
7339 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
7340
7341 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
7342 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
7343 edit numbers of the version.
7344 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7345
7346 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
7347 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
7348 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
7349
7350 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
7351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7352
7353 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7354 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7355 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7356
7357 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
7358 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7359
7360 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
7361 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7362
7363 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
7364 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7365
7366 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
7367 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7368
7369 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
7370 overflows.
7371 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7372
7373 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
7374 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
7375 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7376
7377 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
7378 representations in a platform independent manner.
7379 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7380
7381 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
7382 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
7383 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7384
7385 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
7386 indents.
7387 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7388
7389 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
7390 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7391
7392 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
7393 full. Fixed.
7394 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7395
7396 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
7397 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
7398 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7399
7400 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
7401 unconditionally).
7402 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7403
7404 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
7405 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7406
7407 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
7408 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7409
7410 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
7411 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7412
7413 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
7414 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7415
7416 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
7417 CBCParameter.
7418 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7419
7420 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
7421 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7422
7423 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
7424 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7425
7426 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
7427 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
7428 exploitable.
7429 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7430
7431 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
7432 the 0.9.6 release series:
7433
7434 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7435 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
7436 (CVE-2002-0657)
7437 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7438
7439 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
7440 [Richard Levitte]
7441
7442 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
7443 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
7444
7445 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
7446 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
7447
7448 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
7449 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
7450 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
7451 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
7452
7453 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
7454 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
7455 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
7456
7457 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
7458 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
7459 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
7460 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7461
7462 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
7463 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
7464 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
7465 some local tweaks:
7466
7467 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
7468 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
7469 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
7470 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7471 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
7472 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
7473 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
7474 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
7475 done
7476
7477 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
7478 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
7479 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
7480 [Richard Levitte]
7481
7482 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
7483 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
7484 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
7485 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
7486 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
7487
7488 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
7489 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
7490
7491 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
7492 error in AES-CFB decryption.
7493 [Richard Levitte]
7494
7495 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
7496 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
7497 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
7498 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
7499 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
7500 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
7501 [Steve Henson]
7502
7503 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
7504 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
7505 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
7506 [Steve Henson]
7507
7508 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
7509 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
7510 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7511
7512 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
7513 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
7514 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
7515 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
7516 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
7517 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
7518 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
7519 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7520
7521 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
7522 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
7523 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
7524 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
7525 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
7526 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
7527 [Steve Henson]
7528
7529 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
7530 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
7531 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
7532 declaration has been changed from
7533 int (*cb)()
7534 into
7535 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
7536 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
7537 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
7538 has been changed into
7539 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
7540
7541 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
7542 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
7543 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
7544
7545 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
7546 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
7547
7548 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
7549 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
7550 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
7551 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
7552 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
7553 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
7554 always load it have also been added.
7555 [Steve Henson]
7556
7557 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
7558 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
7559 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7560
7561 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
7562
7563 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
7564 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
7565 because it couldn't be used for anything.
7566
7567 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
7568 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
7569 command line option can be used to specify an
7570 alternative file.
7571 [Steve Henson]
7572
7573 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
7574 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
7575 [Steve Henson]
7576
7577 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
7578 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
7579 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
7580 [Steve Henson]
7581
7582 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
7583 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7584 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
7585 to work with the new engine framework.
7586 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
7587
7588 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
7589 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7590 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
7591 to work with the new engine framework.
7592 [Richard Levitte]
7593
7594 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
7595 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
7596 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
7597
7598 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
7599 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
7600
7601 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
7602 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
7603 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
7604 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
7605 FORMAT_IISSGC.
7606 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7607
7608 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7609 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7610
7611 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
7612 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
7613
7614 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
7615 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
7616 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
7617 [Ben Laurie]
7618
7619 *) Add new functions
7620 ERR_peek_last_error
7621 ERR_peek_last_error_line
7622 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
7623 These are similar to
7624 ERR_peek_error
7625 ERR_peek_error_line
7626 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
7627 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
7628 still in the error queue.
7629 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
7630
7631 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
7632 like:
7633 default_algorithms = ALL
7634 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
7638 [Steve Henson]
7639
7640 *) New experimental application configuration code.
7641 [Steve Henson]
7642
7643 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
7644 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
7645 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
7646 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
7647
7648 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
7649 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
7650
7651 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
7652 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7653
7654 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
7655 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
7656 [Bodo Moeller]
7657
7658 *) New functions/macros
7659
7660 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7661 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7662 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7663 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7664
7665 to request calling a callback function
7666
7667 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7668 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7669
7670 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7671 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7672 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7673 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7674 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7675 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7676 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7677 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7678 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7679 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7680
7681 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7682 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7683 [Bodo Moeller]
7684
7685 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7686 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7687 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7688 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7689 the configuration scripts.
7690
7691 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7692 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7693 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7694
7695 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7696 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7697
7698 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7699 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7700 when reusing an existing buffer.
7701 [Bodo Moeller]
7702
7703 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7704 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7705 [Steve Henson]
7706
7707 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7708 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7709 [Ben Laurie]
7710
7711 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7712 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7713 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7714 has the same effect.
7715 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7716
7717 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7718 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7719 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7720 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7721 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7722 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7723 exception.
7724
7725 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7726 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7727 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7728 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7729
7730 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7731 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7732 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7733 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7734
7735 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7736 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7737 won't work.
7738
7739 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7740 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7741 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7742 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7743 default), and then completely removed.
7744 [Richard Levitte]
7745
7746 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7747 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7748 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7749 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7750 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7751 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7752 particular extension is supported.
7753 [Steve Henson]
7754
7755 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7756 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7760 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7761 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7762 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7763 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7764 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7765 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7766 requires the destination to be valid.
7767
7768 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7769 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7770 [Steve Henson]
7771
7772 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7773 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7774 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7775 [Bodo Moeller]
7776
7777 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7778 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7779
7780 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7781 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7782 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7783 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7784 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7785 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7786 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7787 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7788 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7789 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7790 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7791 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7792 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7793 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7794 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7795 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7796 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7797 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7798 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7799 the new code.
7800 [Geoff Thorpe]
7801
7802 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7803 [Steve Henson]
7804
7805 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7806 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7807 become part of libeay.num as well.
7808 [Richard Levitte]
7809
7810 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7811 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7812 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7813 false once a handshake has been completed.
7814 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7815 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7816 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7817 client has followed the request.)
7818 [Bodo Moeller]
7819
7820 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7821 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7822 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7823 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7824
7825 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7826 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7827 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7828 [Bodo Moeller]
7829
7830 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7831 [Steve Henson]
7832
7833 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7834 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7835 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7836 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7837
7838 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7839 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7840 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7841
7842 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7843 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7844 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7845 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7846 [Geoff Thorpe]
7847
7848 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7849 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7850 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7851 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7852 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7853 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7854 [Geoff Thorpe]
7855
7856 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7857 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7858 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7859 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7860 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7861 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7862 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7863 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7864 [Geoff Thorpe]
7865
7866 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7867 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7868 [Geoff Thorpe]
7869
7870 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7871 [Ben Laurie]
7872
7873 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7874 md_data void pointer.
7875 [Ben Laurie]
7876
7877 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7878 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7879 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7880 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7881 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7882 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7883 [Ben Laurie]
7884
7885 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7886 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7887 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7888 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7889 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7890 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7891 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7892 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7893 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7894 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7895 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7896 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7897 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7898 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7899 rather than letting it slide.
7900
7901 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7902 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7903 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7904 [Geoff Thorpe]
7905
7906 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7907 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7908 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7909 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7910 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7911 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7912 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7913 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7914 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7915 [Geoff Thorpe]
7916
7917 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7918 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7919 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7920 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7921 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7922
7923 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7924 [Geoff Thorpe]
7925
7926 *) Add EVP test program.
7927 [Ben Laurie]
7928
7929 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7930 [Ben Laurie]
7931
7932 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7933 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7934 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7935 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7936 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7937 [Steve Henson]
7938
7939 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7940 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7941 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7942 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7943 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7944 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7945 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7946
7947 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7948 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7949 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7950 Usage example:
7951
7952 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7953
7954 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7955 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7956 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7957 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7958 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7959
7960 [Ben Laurie]
7961
7962 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7963 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7964 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7965 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7966 anyway): E.g.,
7967
7968 des_key_schedule ks;
7969
7970 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7971 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7972
7973 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7974 [Ben Laurie]
7975
7976 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7977 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7978 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7979 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7980 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7981 functions prevents this.
7982 [Steve Henson]
7983
7984 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7985 [Ben Laurie]
7986
7987 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7988 correct _ecb suffix.
7989 [Ben Laurie]
7990
7991 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7992 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7993 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7994 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7995 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7996 [Steve Henson]
7997
7998 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7999 [Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
8002 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
8003 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
8004 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
8005
8006 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
8007 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
8008
8009 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
8010 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8011 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
8012 via Richard Levitte]
8013
8014 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
8015 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
8016 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
8017 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
8018 [Geoff Thorpe]
8019
8020 *) Speed up EVP routines.
8021 Before:
8022 encrypt
8023 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
8024 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

8036 [Ben Laurie]
8037
8038 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
8039 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
8040
8041 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
8042 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
8043 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
8044 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
8045 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
8046 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
8050 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
8051 [Richard Levitte]
8052
8053 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
8054 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
8055 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
8056 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
8057
8058 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
8059 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
8060 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
8061 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
8062 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
8063 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
8064 callback.
8065 [Richard Levitte]
8066
8067 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
8068 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
8069 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
8070 and interrupts/cancellations.
8071 [Richard Levitte]
8072
8073 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
8074 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
8075 [Steve Henson]
8076
8077 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
8078 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
8079 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
8080
8081 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
8082 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
8083 kind of callback.
8084 [Richard Levitte]
8085
8086 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
8087 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
8088 than this minimum value is recommended.
8089 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8090
8091 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
8092 that are easily reachable.
8093 [Richard Levitte]
8094
8095 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
8096 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
8097
8098 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
8099
8100 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
8101 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
8102 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
8103 needed for static libraries under Win32.
8104 [Steve Henson]
8105
8106 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
8107 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
8108 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
8109 [Steve Henson]
8110
8111 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
8112 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
8113 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
8114 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
8115 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
8116 internally such as S/MIME.
8117
8118 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
8119 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
8120 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
8121
8122 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
8123 applications.
8124 [Steve Henson]
8125
8126 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
8127 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
8128 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
8129 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
8130
8131 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8132
8133 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
8134
8135 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
8136 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
8137 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
8138 handling.
8139 [Steve Henson]
8140
8141 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
8142 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
8143 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
8144 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
8145 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
8146 a window system and the like.
8147 [Richard Levitte]
8148
8149 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
8150 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
8151 [Geoff]
8152
8153 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
8154 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
8155 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
8156 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
8157 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
8158 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
8159 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
8160 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
8161 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
8162 ENGINE structure.
8163 [Geoff]
8164
8165 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
8166 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
8167 tag cache.
8168 [Steve Henson]
8169
8170 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
8171 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
8172 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
8173 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
8174 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
8175 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
8176 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
8177 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
8178 [Geoff]
8179
8180 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
8181 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
8182 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
8183 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
8184 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
8185 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
8186 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
8187 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
8188 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
8189 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
8190 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
8191 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
8192 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
8193 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
8194 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
8195 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
8196 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
8197 [Geoff]
8198
8199 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
8200 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
8201 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
8202 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
8203 internal engine_int.h header.
8204 [Geoff]
8205
8206 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
8207 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
8208 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
8209 modify their own ones).
8210 [Geoff]
8211
8212 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
8213 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
8214 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
8215 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
8216 later on via ctrl() commands.
8217 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
8218 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
8219 structural references.
8220 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
8221 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
8222 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
8223 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
8224 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
8225 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
8226 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
8227 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
8228 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
8229 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
8230 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
8231 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
8232 [Geoff]
8233
8234 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8235 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
8236 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
8237 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
8238 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
8239 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
8240 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
8241 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
8242 [Bodo Moeller]
8243
8244 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
8245 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
8246 [Steve Henson]
8247
8248 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
8249 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
8250 [Steve Henson]
8251
8252 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
8253 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
8254 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
8255 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
8256 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
8257 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
8258 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
8259 [Steve Henson]
8260
8261 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
8262 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
8263 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
8264 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
8265 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
8266
8267 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
8268 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
8269 generator).
8270 [Bodo Moeller]
8271
8272 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
8273
8274 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
8275 operations and provides various method functions that can also
8276 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
8277
8278 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
8279 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
8280
8281 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
8282 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
8283 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
8284
8285 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
8286 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
8287
8288 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
8289 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
8290
8291 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
8292
8293 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
8294 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
8295 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
8296 [Bodo Moeller]
8297
8298 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
8299 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
8300 [Richard Levitte]
8301
8302 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
8303 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
8304 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
8305 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
8306 is 40 of more characters long.
8307 [Steve Henson]
8308
8309 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
8310 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
8311 pointers.
8312 [Steve Henson]
8313
8314 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
8315 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
8316 [Bodo Moeller]
8317
8318 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
8319 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
8320 might.
8321 [Steve Henson]
8322
8323 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
8324
8325 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
8326 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
8327
8328 ASN1 error codes
8329 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
8330 ...
8331 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
8332 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
8333 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
8334 ...
8335 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
8336 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
8337
8338 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
8339 [Bodo Moeller]
8340
8341 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
8342 suffices.
8343 [Bodo Moeller]
8344
8345 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
8346 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
8347 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
8348 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
8349 and
8350 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
8351
8352 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
8353 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
8354
8355 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
8356 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
8357 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
8358 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
8359 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
8360 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
8361
8362 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
8363 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
8364
8365 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
8366 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8367
8368 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
8369 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
8370
8371 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
8372 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
8373 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
8374 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
8375
8376 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
8377 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
8378
8379 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
8380 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
8381
8382 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
8383 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
8384 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
8385 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
8386 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
8387 [Richard Levitte]
8388
8389 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
8390 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
8391 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
8392 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
8393 [Steve Henson]
8394
8395 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
8396 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
8397 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
8398 trust settings.
8399 [Steve Henson]
8400
8401 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
8402 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
8403 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
8404 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
8405 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
8406 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
8407 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
8408 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
8409 ocsp utility.
8410 [Steve Henson]
8411
8412 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
8413 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
8414 [Steve Henson]
8415
8416 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
8417 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
8418 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
8419 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
8420 [Steve Henson]
8421
8422 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
8423 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
8424 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
8425 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
8426 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
8427 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
8428 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
8429 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
8430 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
8431 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
8432 [Steve Henson]
8433
8434 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
8435 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
8436 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
8437 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
8438 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
8439 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
8440 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
8441 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8442
8443 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
8444 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
8445 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
8446 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
8447 [Richard Levitte]
8448
8449 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
8450 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
8451 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
8452 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
8453 opensslconf.h.
8454 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
8455 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
8456 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
8457 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
8458 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
8459 what is available.
8460 [Richard Levitte]
8461
8462 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
8463 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
8464 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
8465 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
8466 auto incremented.
8467 [Steve Henson]
8468
8469 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
8470 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
8471 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
8472 [Steve Henson]
8473
8474 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
8475 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
8476 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
8477 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
8478 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
8479 [Steve Henson]
8480
8481 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
8485 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
8486 option to ocsp utility.
8487 [Steve Henson]
8488
8489 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
8490 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
8491 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
8492 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
8493 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
8494 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
8495 the request is nonce-less.
8496 [Steve Henson]
8497
8498 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
8499 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
8500 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
8501 [Bodo Moeller]
8502
8503 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
8504 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
8505 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
8506 [Steve Henson]
8507
8508 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
8509 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
8510 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
8511 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
8512 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
8513 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8514
8515 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
8516 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
8517 appear to exist.
8518 [Steve Henson]
8519
8520 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
8521 additional certificates supplied.
8522 [Steve Henson]
8523
8524 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
8525 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
8526 signature against.
8527 [Richard Levitte]
8528
8529 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
8530 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
8531 AES OIDs.
8532
8533 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
8534 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
8535 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
8536 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
8537 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
8538 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
8539 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
8540 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
8541 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
8542
8543 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
8544 request to response.
8545 [Steve Henson]
8546
8547 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
8548 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
8549 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
8550 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
8551 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
8552 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
8553 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
8554 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
8555 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
8556 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
8557 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
8558 [Steve Henson]
8559
8560 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
8561 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
8562 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
8563 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
8564 [Steve Henson]
8565
8566 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
8567 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8568
8569 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
8570 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
8571 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
8572 [Steve Henson]
8573
8574 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
8575 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
8576 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
8577 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8578 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8579
8580 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
8581 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
8582 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
8583 [Steve Henson]
8584
8585 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
8586 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
8587 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
8588 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
8589 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
8590 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
8591 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
8592 <support@securenetterm.com>]
8593
8594 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
8595 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
8596 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
8597 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
8598 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
8599 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
8600 [Steve Henson]
8601
8602 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
8603 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
8604 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
8605 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
8606 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
8607 printout format cleaned up.
8608 [Steve Henson]
8609
8610 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
8611 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
8612 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
8613 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
8614 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
8615 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
8616 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
8617 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
8618 [Steve Henson]
8619
8620 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
8621 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
8622 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
8623 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
8624 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
8625 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
8626 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
8627 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
8628 [Steve Henson]
8629
8630 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
8631 extensions from a separate configuration file.
8632 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
8633 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
8634 section to use.
8635 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8636
8637 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
8638 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
8639 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
8640 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
8641 [Steve Henson]
8642
8643 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
8644 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
8645 the given serial number (according to the index file).
8646 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
8647 in the index file.
8648 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
8649
8650 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
8651 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
8652 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
8653 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8654
8655 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
8656 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8657
8658 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8659 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8660 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8661 [Steve Henson]
8662
8663 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8664 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8665 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8666 [Bodo Moeller]
8667
8668 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8669 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8670 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8671 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8672 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8673 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8674 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8675 functions are provided:
8676
8677 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8678 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8679 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8680 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8681
8682 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8683 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8684 extended allocation function is enabled.
8685 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8686 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8687 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8688
8689 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8690 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8691 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8692 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8693 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8694 [Geoff Thorpe]
8695
8696 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8697 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8698 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8699 be queried.
8700 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8701 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8702 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8703 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8704
8705 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8706 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8707 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8708 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8709 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8710 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8711 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8712 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8713 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8714 [Richard Levitte]
8715
8716 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8717 provide utility functions which an application needing
8718 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8719 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8720 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8721
8722 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8723 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8724 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8725 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8726 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8727 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8728 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8729 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8730 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8731
8732 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8733 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8734 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8735 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8736 [Steve Henson]
8737
8738 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8739 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8740 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8741 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8742 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8743 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8744 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8745 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8746 will be added elsewhere.
8747 [Steve Henson]
8748
8749 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8750 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8751 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8752 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8753 [Steve Henson]
8754
8755 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8756 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8757 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8758 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8759 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8760 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8761 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8762 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8763 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8764 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8765 to produce the required SET OF.
8766 [Steve Henson]
8767
8768 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8769 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8770 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8771 [Richard Levitte]
8772
8773 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8774 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8775 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8776 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8777 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8778 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8779 [Steve Henson]
8780
8781 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8782 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8783 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8784 [Steve Henson]
8785
8786 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8787 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8788 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8789 [Richard Levitte]
8790
8791 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8792 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8793 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8794 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8795 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8796 [Steve Henson]
8797
8798 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8799 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8800 [Steve Henson]
8801
8802 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8803 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8804 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8805 certificates and CRLs.
8806 [Steve Henson]
8807
8808 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8809 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8810 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8811 [Steve Henson]
8812
8813 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8814 entries for variables.
8815 [Steve Henson]
8816
8817 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8818 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8819 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8820 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8821 [Bodo Moeller]
8822
8823 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8824 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8825 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8826 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8827 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8828 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8829 [Bodo Moeller]
8830
8831 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8832 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8833
8834 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8835 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8836 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8837 [Steve Henson]
8838
8839 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8840 print routines.
8841 [Steve Henson]
8842
8843 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8844 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8845 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8846 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8847 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8848 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8849 [Steve Henson]
8850
8851 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8852 [Steve Henson]
8853
8854 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8855 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8856 for now but they will eventually go away.
8857 [Steve Henson]
8858
8859 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8860 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8861 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8862 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8863 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8864 has also been converted to the new form.
8865 [Steve Henson]
8866
8867 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8868 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8869 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8870 for negative moduli.
8871 [Bodo Moeller]
8872
8873 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8874 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8875 [Bodo Moeller]
8876
8877 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8878 set.
8879 [Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8882 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8883 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8884 type-specific callbacks.
8885 [Geoff Thorpe]
8886
8887 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8888 RFC 2712.
8889 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8890 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8891
8892 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8893 in sections depending on the subject.
8894 [Richard Levitte]
8895
8896 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8897 Windows.
8898 [Richard Levitte]
8899
8900 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8901 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8902 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8903 be handled deterministically).
8904 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8905
8906 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8907 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8908 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8909 [Bodo Moeller]
8910
8911 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8912 [Bodo Moeller]
8913
8914 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8915 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8916 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8917 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8918 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8919 [Bodo Moeller]
8920
8921 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8922 sign of the number in question.
8923
8924 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8925
8926 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8927 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8928 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8929 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8930 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8931 [Bodo Moeller]
8932
8933 *) New function BN_swap.
8934 [Bodo Moeller]
8935
8936 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8937 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8938 results on negative inputs.
8939 [Bodo Moeller]
8940
8941 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8942 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8943 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8944 [Bodo Moeller]
8945
8946 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8947 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8948 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8949 and add new functions:
8950
8951 BN_nnmod
8952 BN_mod_sqr
8953 BN_mod_add
8954 BN_mod_add_quick
8955 BN_mod_sub
8956 BN_mod_sub_quick
8957 BN_mod_lshift1
8958 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8959 BN_mod_lshift
8960 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8961
8962 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8963
8964 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8965 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8966
8967 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8968 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8969 be reduced modulo m.
8970 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8971
8972 #if 0
8973 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8974 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8975 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8976
8977 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8978 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8979 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8980 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8981 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8982 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8983 differing sizes.
8984 [Richard Levitte]
8985 #endif
8986
8987 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8988 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8989 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8990 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8991 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8992
8993 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8994 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8995 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8996 cause any problems.
8997 [Bodo Moeller]
8998
8999 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
9000 [Richard Levitte]
9001
9002 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
9003 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
9004 [Richard Levitte]
9005
9006 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
9007 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
9008 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
9009 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
9010 time)
9011 [Richard Levitte]
9012
9013 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
9014 [Richard Levitte]
9015
9016 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
9017 [Richard Levitte]
9018
9019 *) Add the following functions:
9020
9021 ENGINE_load_cswift()
9022 ENGINE_load_chil()
9023 ENGINE_load_atalla()
9024 ENGINE_load_nuron()
9025 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
9026
9027 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
9028 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
9029 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
9030 libraries unless it's really needed.
9031
9032 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
9033 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
9034 declarations (they differed!).
9035 [Richard Levitte]
9036
9037 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
9038 [Richard Levitte]
9039
9040 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
9041 [Richard Levitte]
9042
9043 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
9044 [Bodo Moeller]
9045
9046 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
9047 identity, and test if they are actually available.
9048 [Richard Levitte]
9049
9050 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
9051 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
9052 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
9053
9054 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
9055 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
9056 [Richard Levitte]
9057
9058 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
9059 [Richard Levitte]
9060
9061 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
9062 [Richard Levitte]
9063
9064 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
9065 [Ben Laurie]
9066
9067 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
9068 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
9069 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
9070
9071 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
9072 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
9073 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
9074 different shared library filenames on each system.
9075 [Geoff Thorpe]
9076
9077 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
9078 [Richard Levitte]
9079
9080 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
9081 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
9082 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
9083 of two sections.
9084 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
9085
9086 *) NCONF changes.
9087 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
9088 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
9089 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
9090 binary backward compatibility.
9091 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
9092 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
9093 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
9094 LDAP server.
9095 [Richard Levitte]
9096
9097 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
9098 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
9099 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
9100 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
9101 this case.
9102 [Steve Henson]
9103
9104 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
9105 [Ben Laurie]
9106
9107 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
9108 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
9109 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
9110 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
9111 set.
9112 [Steve Henson]
9113
9114 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
9115 [Richard Levitte]
9116
9117 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
9118
9119 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
9120 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
9121 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
9122
9123 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
9124
9125 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
9126
9127 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
9128 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
9129 [Steve Henson]
9130
9131 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
9132
9133 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
9134
9135 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
9136 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
9137
9138 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
9139 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
9140
9141 [Steve Henson]
9142
9143 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
9144 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
9145 specifications.
9146 [Steve Henson]
9147
9148 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
9149 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
9150 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
9151 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
9152
9153 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
9154 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
9155 [Richard Levitte]
9156
9157 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
9158
9159 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
9160 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
9161 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
9162 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
9163 [Bodo Moeller]
9164
9165 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
9166 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
9167 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
9168 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
9169 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9170
9171 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
9172 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
9173 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
9174 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
9175 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
9176 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
9177 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
9178 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
9179 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
9180 [Bodo Moeller]
9181
9182 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
9183
9184 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
9185 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
9186 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
9187 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
9188 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
9189
9190 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
9191 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
9192 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
9193
9194 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
9195
9196 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
9197 memory from its contents. This is done with a counter that will
9198 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
9199 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
9200 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
9201 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
9202 [Geoff Thorpe]
9203
9204 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
9205 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
9206 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
9207 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
9208 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
9209 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9210
9211 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
9212 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
9213 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
9214
9215 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
9216 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
9217 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
9218 EVP_cleanup().
9219 [Richard Levitte]
9220
9221 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
9222 being properly terminated.
9223 [Richard Levitte]
9224
9225 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
9226 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
9227 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
9228 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
9229
9230 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
9231 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
9232 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
9233 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
9234 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
9235 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
9236 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
9237 change.
9238 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
9239
9240 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
9241 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
9242 [Bodo Moeller]
9243
9244 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
9245 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
9246 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
9247 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
9248 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
9249 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
9250 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
9251 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
9252
9253 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
9254 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
9255 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
9256 (see [openssl.org #212]).
9257 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
9258
9259 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
9260 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
9261 [Steve Henson]
9262
9263 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
9264
9265 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
9266 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
9267 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
9268
9269 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
9270
9271 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
9272 and get fix the header length calculation.
9273 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
9274 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
9275 Steve Henson]
9276
9277 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
9278 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
9279 assertions could call abort()).
9280 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
9281
9282 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
9283
9284 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9285 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9286 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9287 supplied buffer.
9288 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9289
9290 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
9291 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
9292 by the selection routines (PR #130).
9293 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9294
9295 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
9296 [Nils Larsch]
9297
9298 *) New option
9299 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
9300 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
9301 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
9302
9303 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
9304 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
9305 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
9306 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
9307 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
9308 applications.
9309 [Bodo Moeller]
9310
9311 *) Changes in security patch:
9312
9313 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
9314 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
9315 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
9316 F30602-01-2-0537.
9317
9318 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
9319 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
9320 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
9321 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
9322 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
9323
9324 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
9325 happen in practice.
9326 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9327
9328 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
9329 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
9330 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
9331
9332 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
9333 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
9334 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9335
9336 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
9337 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
9338 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
9339
9340 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
9341
9342 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
9343 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
9344 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
9345
9346 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
9347 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
9348
9349 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
9350 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
9351 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
9352 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
9353 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
9354 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
9355 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9356
9357 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
9358 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
9359 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
9360 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
9361 [Bodo Moeller]
9362
9363 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
9364 [Bodo Moeller]
9365
9366 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
9367 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
9368 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
9369 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
9370 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
9371 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9372
9373 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
9374 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
9375 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
9376 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
9377 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
9378 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9379
9380 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
9381 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
9382 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
9383 BN_generate_prime().)
9384
9385 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
9386 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
9387 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
9388 better.
9389 [Bodo Moeller]
9390
9391 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
9392 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
9393 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9394
9395 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
9396 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
9397 when using non-blocking I/O.
9398 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
9399
9400 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
9401 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
9402
9403 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
9404 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
9405 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9406
9407 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
9408 configuration for the versions before that.
9409 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
9410
9411 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
9412 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
9413 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
9414 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
9415 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9416
9417 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
9418 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
9419 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
9420 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9421
9422 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
9423 value is 0.
9424 [Richard Levitte]
9425
9426 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
9427 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
9428 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
9429
9430 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
9431 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
9432
9433 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
9434 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
9435 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
9436 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
9437 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
9438 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
9439 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
9440 session cache.
9441
9442 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
9443 using a local variable.
9444 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
9445
9446 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
9447 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
9448 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
9449
9450 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
9451 [Richard Levitte]
9452
9453 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
9454 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
9455
9456 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
9457 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
9458 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
9459
9460 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
9461
9462 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
9463 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
9464 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
9465 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
9466 [Bodo Moeller]
9467
9468 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
9469 present.
9470 [Steve Henson]
9471
9472 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
9473 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
9474 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
9475 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
9476 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
9477
9478 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
9479 returns early because it has nothing to do.
9480 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9481
9482 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9483 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
9484 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9485
9486 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9487 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
9488 (Use engine 'keyclient')
9489 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
9490
9491 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
9492 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
9493 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
9494 modules).
9495 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
9496
9497 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9498 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
9499 from 0.9.7.
9500 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
9501
9502 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9503 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
9504 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
9505 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
9506
9507 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
9508 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
9509 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
9510 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
9511
9512 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
9513 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
9514
9515 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
9516 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
9517 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
9521 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
9522 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
9523 become invalid.
9524 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
9525
9526 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
9527 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
9528 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
9529 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
9530 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
9531 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
9532 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
9533 [Bodo Moeller]
9534
9535 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
9536 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
9537 one of the SSL handshake functions.
9538 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
9539
9540 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
9541 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
9542 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
9543 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
9544 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
9545 the client will at least see that alert.
9546 [Bodo Moeller]
9547
9548 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
9549 correctly.
9550 [Bodo Moeller]
9551
9552 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
9553 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
9554 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
9555
9556 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
9557 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
9558 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
9559 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
9560 HelloRequest.
9561
9562 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
9563 before just sending a HelloRequest.
9564 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
9565
9566 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
9567 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
9568 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
9569 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
9570 may leak via logfiles.)
9571
9572 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
9573 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
9574 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
9575 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
9576 the legal range.
9577 [Bodo Moeller]
9578
9579 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
9580 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
9581 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9582
9583 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
9584 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
9585 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
9586 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
9587 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
9588 [Bodo Moeller]
9589
9590 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
9591 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
9592
9593 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
9594 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
9595 followed by modular reduction.
9596 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
9597
9598 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
9599 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
9600 [Bodo Moeller]
9601
9602 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
9603 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
9604 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
9605 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
9606 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9607
9608 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
9609 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9610
9611 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
9612 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
9613 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9614
9615 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
9616 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
9617 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
9618 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
9619 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
9620 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
9621 automatically.
9622 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
9623
9624 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
9625 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
9626 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
9627 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
9628 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
9629
9630 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
9631 [Andy Polyakov]
9632
9633 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
9634 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
9635 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
9636 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
9637 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
9638 to allow the necessary settings.
9639 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9640
9641 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
9642 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
9643 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
9644 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
9645 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9646
9647 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
9648 dh->length and always used
9649
9650 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
9651
9652 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
9653 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
9654 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
9655 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
9656 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9657 dh->length.
9658
9659 So switch back to
9660
9661 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9662
9663 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9664 otherwise.
9665 [Bodo Moeller]
9666
9667 *) In

9677 [Bodo Moeller]
9678
9679 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9680 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9681 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9682 variable) is not atomic.
9683 [Bodo Moeller]
9684
9685 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9686 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9687 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9688 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9689
9690 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9691 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9692
9693 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9694 little-endian MIPS.
9695 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9696
9697 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9698 [Richard Levitte]
9699
9700 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9701
9702 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9703 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9704 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9705 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9706 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9707 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9708 to traverse all of 'state'.
9709
9710 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9711 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9712 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9713
9714 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9715 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9716
9717 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9718 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9719 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9720 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9721 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9722 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9723 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9724 further strengthens the PRNG.
9725 [Bodo Moeller]
9726
9727 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9728 [Andy Polyakov]
9729
9730 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9731 an error message in this case.
9732 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9733
9734 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9735 [Steve Henson]
9736
9737 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9738 positive and less than q.
9739 [Bodo Moeller]
9740
9741 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9742 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9743 that itself.
9744 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9745
9746 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9747 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9748 [Bodo Moeller]
9749
9750 *) Fix OAEP check.
9751 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9752
9753 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9754 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9755 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9756 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9757 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9758 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9759 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9760 paper.)
9761
9762 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9763 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9764 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9765 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9766
9767 Both problems are now fixed.
9768 [Bodo Moeller]
9769
9770 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9771 (previously it was 1024).
9772 [Bodo Moeller]
9773
9774 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9775 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9776 [Steve Henson]
9777
9778 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9779 [Steve Henson]
9780
9781 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9782 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9783 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9784 [Steve Henson]
9785
9786 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9787 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9788 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9789 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9790 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9791 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9792 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9793 environment variables.
9794
9795 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9796 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9797 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9798 [Bodo Moeller]
9799
9800 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9801 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9802 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9803 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9804 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9805 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9806 [Bodo Moeller]
9807
9808 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9809 versions of 'test'.
9810 [Bodo Moeller]
9811
9812 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9813
9814 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9815 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9816
9817 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9818 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9819 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9820 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9821 CygWin.
9822 [Richard Levitte]
9823
9824 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9825 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9826 amount of data available.
9827 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9828 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9829
9830 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9831 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9832 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9833 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9834 [Bodo Moeller]
9835
9836 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9837 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9838 and UnixWare.
9839 [Richard Levitte]
9840
9841 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9842 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9843 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9844 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9845 [Ulf Moeller]
9846
9847 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9848 [Andy Polyakov]
9849
9850 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9851 [Richard Levitte]
9852
9853 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9854 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9855 [Steve Henson]
9856 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9857
9858 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9859 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9860 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9861 (but broken) behaviour.
9862 [Steve Henson]
9863
9864 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9865 it when found.
9866 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9867
9868 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9869 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9870 [Bodo Moeller]
9871
9872 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9873 did not exist.
9874 [Bodo Moeller]
9875
9876 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9877 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9878
9879 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9880 [Richard Levitte]
9881
9882 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9883 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9884 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9885
9886 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9887 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9888 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9889 [Steve Henson]
9890
9891 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9892 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9893 [Ulf Moeller]
9894
9895 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9896 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9897
9898 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9899
9900 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9901
9902 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9903 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9904 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9905 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9906 [Bodo Moeller]
9907
9908 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9909 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9910
9911 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9912 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9913 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9914
9915 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9916 was empty.
9917 [Steve Henson]
9918 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9919
9920 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9921 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9922 but the code is actually correct.
9923 [Steve Henson]
9924
9925 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9926 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9927 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9928 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9929 and leaves the highest bit random.
9930 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9931
9932 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9933 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9934 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9935 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9936 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9937 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9938 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9939 [Bodo Moeller]
9940
9941 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9942 [Ulf Moeller]
9943
9944 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9945 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9946 [Steve Henson]
9947
9948 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9949 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9950 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9951 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9952 headers.
9953 [Richard Levitte]
9954
9955 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9956 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9957 and break the signature.
9958 [Steve Henson]
9959 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9960
9961 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9962 DH ciphersuites.
9963 [Steve Henson]
9964
9965 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9966 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9967 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9968 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9969 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9970 [Bodo Moeller]
9971
9972 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9973 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9974
9975 *) ./config script fixes.
9976 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9977
9978 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9979 [Bodo Moeller]
9980
9981 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9982 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9983 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9984 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9985 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9986
9987 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9988 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9989 [Bodo Moeller]
9990
9991 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9992 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9993 [Steve Henson]
9994
9995 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9996 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9997 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9998 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9999
10000 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
10001 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
10002
10003 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
10004 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
10005 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
10006 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
10007 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
10008
10009 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
10010 [Bodo Moeller]
10011
10012 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
10013 [Ulf Möller]
10014
10015 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
10016 [Ulf Möller]
10017
10018 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
10019 [Bodo Moeller]
10020
10021 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
10022 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
10023 [Bodo Moeller]
10024
10025 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
10026 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
10027 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
10028 result of the server certificate verification.)
10029 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10030
10031 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
10032 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
10033 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
10034 [Bodo Moeller]
10035
10036 *) Fix SSL_peek:
10037 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
10038 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
10039 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
10040 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
10041 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
10042 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
10043 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
10044 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
10045 [Bodo Moeller]
10046
10047 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
10048 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
10049 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
10050 happening the other way round.
10051 [Geoff Thorpe]
10052
10053 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
10054 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
10055 [Bodo Moeller]
10056
10057 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
10058 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
10059 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
10060 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
10061 [Richard Levitte]
10062
10063 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
10064 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
10065
10066 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
10067
10068 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
10069 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
10070 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
10071 that.
10072
10073 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
10074
10075 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
10076
10077 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
10078 static ones.
10079 [Richard Levitte]
10080
10081 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
10082
10083 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
10084 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
10085 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
10086 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
10087 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
10088
10089 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
10090 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
10091 matter what.
10092 [Richard Levitte]
10093
10094 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
10095 [Lutz Jaenicke]
10096
10097 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
10098
10099 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
10100 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
10101 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
10102 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
10103 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
10104 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
10105 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
10106 by the Finished messages.
10107 [Bodo Moeller]
10108
10109 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
10110 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
10111
10112 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
10113 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
10114 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
10115 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
10116 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
10117 appropriately.
10118 [Steve Henson]
10119
10120 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
10121 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
10122 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
10123 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
10124 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
10125 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
10126 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
10127 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
10128 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
10129 together.
10130 [Steve Henson]
10131
10132 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
10133 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
10134 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
10135 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
10136
10137 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
10138 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
10139 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
10140 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
10141 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
10142 the answer.
10143
10144 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
10145 been tested well enough.
10146 [Richard Levitte]
10147
10148 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
10149 it can return incorrect results.
10150 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
10151 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
10152 [Bodo Moeller]
10153
10154 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
10155 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
10156 include zero length content when signing messages.
10157 [Steve Henson]
10158
10159 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
10160 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
10161 [Bodo Möller]
10162
10163 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
10164 [Richard Levitte]
10165
10166 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
10167 wrong sign.
10168 [Ulf Möller]
10169
10170 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
10171 packages. The default package contains applications, application
10172 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
10173 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
10174 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
10175 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
10176 [Richard Levitte]
10177
10178 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
10179 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10180
10181 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
10182 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
10183
10184 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
10185 random number < q in the DSA library.
10186 [Ulf Möller]
10187
10188 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
10189 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
10190 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
10191 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
10192 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
10193 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
10194 just makes things more complicated.)
10195 [Bodo Moeller]
10196
10197 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
10198 from EGD.
10199 [Ben Laurie]
10200
10201 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
10202 work better on such systems.
10203 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10204
10205 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
10206 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
10207 keyid to the certificates aux info.
10208 [Steve Henson]
10209
10210 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
10211 if there was more than one signature.
10212 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
10213
10214 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
10215 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
10216 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
10217 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
10218 [Richard Levitte]
10219
10220 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
10221 rather than always using the current time.
10222 [Steve Henson]
10223
10224 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
10225 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
10226 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
10227 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
10228 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
10229 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
10230
10231 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
10232 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
10233
10234 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
10235
10236 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
10237 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
10238 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
10239 the same hash value.
10240
10241 As a result various functions (which were all internal
10242 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
10243 structure. This will break anything that messed round
10244 with X509_STORE internally.
10245
10246 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
10247 exact match, rather than just subject name.
10248
10249 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
10250 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
10251 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
10252 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
10253 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
10254 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
10255 entirely (maybe later...).
10256
10257 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
10258
10259 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
10260 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
10261 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
10262 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
10263 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
10264 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
10265 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
10266 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
10267
10268 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
10269 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
10270
10271 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
10272 to customise the verify behaviour.
10273 [Steve Henson]
10274
10275 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
10276 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
10277 [Steve Henson]
10278
10279 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
10280 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
10281 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
10282 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
10283 request is improperly encoded.
10284 [Steve Henson]
10285
10286 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
10287 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
10288 BIO_write(b, ...).
10289
10290 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
10291 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
10292
10293 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
10294 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
10295 words set to zero.)
10296 [Bodo Moeller]
10297
10298 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
10299 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
10300 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
10301 [Bodo Moeller]
10302
10303 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
10304 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
10305 BIO/fp routines also added.
10306 [Steve Henson]
10307
10308 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
10309 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
10310
10311 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
10312 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
10313 demos/state_machine.
10314 [Ben Laurie]
10315
10316 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
10317 generation and verification.
10318 [Steve Henson]
10319
10320 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
10321 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
10322 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
10323 encode and decode it manually.
10324 [Steve Henson]
10325
10326 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
10327 compile under VC++.
10328 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
10329
10330 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
10331 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
10332 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
10333 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
10334
10335 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
10336 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
10337 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
10338 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
10339 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
10340 [Steve Henson]
10341
10342 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
10343 [Richard Levitte]
10344
10345 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
10346 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
10347 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
10348
10349 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
10350 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
10351 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
10352 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
10353 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
10354 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
10355 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
10356 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
10357
10358 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
10359 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
10360
10361 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
10362
10363 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
10364 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
10365 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
10366
10367 [Richard Levitte]
10368
10369 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
10370 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
10371 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
10372 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
10373 [Richard Levitte]
10374
10375 *) MD4 implemented.
10376 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
10377
10378 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
10379 [Richard Levitte]
10380
10381 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
10382 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
10383 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
10384 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
10385 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
10386 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
10387 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
10388 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
10389 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
10390 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
10391 short or long names are found.
10392 [Steve Henson]
10393
10394 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
10395 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
10396
10397 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
10398 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
10399 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10400 version rollback attacks was not effective.
10401
10402 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
10403 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
10404 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
10405 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
10406 [Bodo Moeller]
10407
10408 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
10409 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
10410 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
10411 [Richard Levitte]
10412
10413 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
10414 these print out strings and name structures based on various
10415 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
10416 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
10417 to allow the various flags to be set.
10418 [Steve Henson]
10419
10420 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
10421 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
10422 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
10423 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
10424 dates to be checked.
10425 [Steve Henson]
10426
10427 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
10428 negative public key encodings) on by default,
10429 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
10430 [Steve Henson]
10431
10432 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
10433 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
10434 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
10435 [Steve Henson]
10436
10437 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
10438 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
10439 [Bodo Moeller]
10440
10441 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
10442 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
10443 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
10444 are always statically linked for now, but there are
10445 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
10446 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
10447 [Richard Levitte]
10448
10449 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
10450 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
10451 Random Numbers.
10452 [Ulf Möller]
10453
10454 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
10455 DSA key.
10456 [Steve Henson]
10457
10458 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
10459 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
10460 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
10461 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
10462 form signing output easier to verify.
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
10466 [Steve Henson]
10467
10468 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
10469 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
10470 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
10471 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
10472 are needed because all other string types have virtually
10473 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
10474 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
10475 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
10476 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
10477 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
10478 [Steve Henson]
10479
10480 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
10481
10482 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
10483 the syntax given in objects.README.
10484 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
10485 obj_mac.h.
10486 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
10487 obj_mac.h.
10488
10489 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
10490 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
10491 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
10492 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
10493 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
10494 consistent name changes.
10495 [Richard Levitte]
10496
10497 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
10498 [Bodo Moeller]
10499
10500 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
10501 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
10502 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
10503 environment variable, or the default random state file.
10504 [Richard Levitte]
10505
10506 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
10507 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
10508 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
10509 of safestack.h .
10510 [Steve Henson]
10511
10512 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
10513 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
10514 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
10515 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
10516 [Steve Henson]
10517
10518 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
10519 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
10520 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
10521 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
10522 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
10523 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
10524 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
10525 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
10526 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
10527 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
10528 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
10529 [Steve Henson]
10530
10531 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
10532 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
10533 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
10534 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
10535 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
10536 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
10537 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
10538 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
10539 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
10540 algorithm to openssl-dev.
10541 [Steve Henson]
10542
10543 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
10544 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
10545 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
10546 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
10547
10548 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
10549 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
10550 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
10551 omit any duplicate addresses.
10552 [Steve Henson]
10553
10554 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
10555 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
10556 [Bodo Moeller]
10557
10558 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
10559 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
10560 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
10561 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
10562 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
10563 [Bodo Moeller]
10564
10565 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
10566 software:
10567 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
10568 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
10569 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
10570 Free => OPENSSL_free
10571 [Richard Levitte]
10572
10573 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
10574 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
10575 [Bodo Moeller]
10576
10577 *) CygWin32 support.
10578 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
10579
10580 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
10581 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
10582 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
10583 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
10584 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
10585 approach.
10586 [Geoff Thorpe]
10587
10588 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
10589 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
10590 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
10591 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
10592 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
10593 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
10594 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
10595 [Geoff Thorpe]
10596
10597 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
10598 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
10599 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
10600 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
10601 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
10602 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
10603 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
10604 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
10605 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
10606 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
10607 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
10608 [Bodo Moeller]
10609
10610 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
10611 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
10612 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
10613 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
10614 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
10615
10616 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
10617 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
10618 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
10619 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
10620 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
10621
10622 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
10623 ciphers.
10624
10625 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
10626 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
10627 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
10628 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
10629
10630 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
10631
10632 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
10633 of macros.
10634
10635 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
10636 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
10637 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
10638 flags.
10639
10640 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
10641 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
10642 any installed hardware versions can.
10643 [Steve Henson]
10644
10645 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
10646 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
10647 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
10648 number.
10649 [Bodo Moeller]
10650
10651 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
10652 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
10653 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
10654 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
10655 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
10656
10657 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10658 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10659 [Steve Henson]
10660
10661 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10662 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10663 [Richard Levitte]
10664
10665 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10666 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10667 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10668 features.
10669 [Steve Henson]
10670
10671 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10672 [Ulf Möller]
10673
10674 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10675 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10676 but no ssl client purpose.
10677 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10678
10679 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10680 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10681 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10682 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10683 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10684 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10685 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10686 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10687 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10688 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10689 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10690 [Steve Henson]
10691
10692 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10693 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10694 be obtained from the error queue.
10695 [Bodo Moeller]
10696
10697 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10698 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10699 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10700 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10701 [Bodo Moeller]
10702
10703 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10704 [Ulf Möller]
10705
10706 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10707 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10708 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10709 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10710 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10711 [Geoff Thorpe]
10712
10713 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10714 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10715 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10716 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10717 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10718 [Geoff Thorpe]
10719
10720 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10721 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10722 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10723 may not be NULL.
10724 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10725
10726 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10727 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10728 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10729 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10730 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10731 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10732 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10733 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10734 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10735 or "the configuration storage API"...
10736
10737 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10738
10739 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10740 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10741
10742 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10743
10744 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10745
10746 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10747 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10748 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10749 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10750 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10751 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10752 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10753
10754 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10755 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10756 [Richard Levitte]
10757
10758 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10759 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10760 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10761 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10762 [Bodo Moeller]
10763
10764 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10765 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10766 them in a portable way.
10767 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10768
10769 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10770
10771 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10772
10773 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10774 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10775
10776 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10777 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10778 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10779 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10780
10781 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10782 was larger than the MD block size.
10783 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10784
10785 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10786 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10787 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10788 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10789 components.
10790 [Steve Henson]
10791
10792 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10793 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10794 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10795
10796 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10797 discouraged.
10798 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10799
10800 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10801 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10802 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10803 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10804 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10805 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10806
10807 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10808 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10809
10810 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10811 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10812 [Bodo Moeller]
10813
10814 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10815 [Bodo Moeller]
10816
10817 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10818 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10819 its own key.
10820 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10821 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10822 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10823 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10824 [Bodo Moeller]
10825
10826 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10827 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10828 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10829 does not suppress any output.
10830 [Richard Levitte]
10831
10832 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10833 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10834 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10835 with all the associated security issues.
10836
10837 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10838 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10839 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10840 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10841 use the value in the default purpose.
10842 [Steve Henson]
10843
10844 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10845 and fix a memory leak.
10846 [Steve Henson]
10847
10848 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10849 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10850 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10851 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10852 [Bodo Moeller]
10853
10854 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10855 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10856 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10857 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10858 [Bodo Moeller]
10859
10860 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10861 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10862 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10863 [Bodo Moeller]
10864
10865 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10866 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10867 [Bodo Moeller]
10868
10869 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10870 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10871 which was free.
10872 [Steve Henson]
10873
10874 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10875 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10876 [Bodo Moeller]
10877
10878 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10879 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10880 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10881 [Bodo Moeller]
10882
10883 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10884 number generation fails.
10885 [Bodo Moeller]
10886
10887 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10888 [Bodo Moeller]
10889
10890 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10891 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10892
10893 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10894 [Ulf Möller]
10895
10896 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10897 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10898
10899 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10900 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10901
10902 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10903
10904 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10905 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10906 [Steve Henson]
10907
10908 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10909 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10910
10911 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10912 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10913 [Ulf Möller]
10914
10915 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10916 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10917 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10918 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10919 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10920 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10921
10922 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10923 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10924 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10925 for example.
10926 [Steve Henson]
10927
10928 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10929 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10930 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10931 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10932 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10933 counter, some don't.)
10934 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10935 counters or duplicate objects.
10936 [Steve Henson]
10937
10938 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10939 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10940 [Steve Henson]
10941
10942 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10943 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10944 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10945
10946 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10947 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10948 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10949 or -rand.
10950 [Ulf Möller]
10951
10952 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10953 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10954 [Steve Henson]
10955
10956 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10957 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10958 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10959 cipher list.
10960 [Steve Henson]
10961
10962 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10963 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10964 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10965 [Steve Henson]
10966
10967 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10968 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10969 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10970 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10971 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10972 should work without changes.
10973 [Richard Levitte]
10974
10975 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10976 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10977 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10978 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10979 must be defined. E.g.,
10980 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10981 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10982 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10983 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10984
10985 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10986 record layer.
10987 [Bodo Moeller]
10988
10989 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10990 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10991 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10992 [Steve Henson]
10993
10994 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10995 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10996 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10997 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10998 [Steve Henson]
10999
11000 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
11001 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
11002 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
11003 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
11004 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
11005 is prompted for as usual.
11006 [Steve Henson]
11007
11008 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
11009 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
11010 autodetect the card and use it if present.
11011 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
11012
11013 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
11014 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
11015 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
11016 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
11017 [Steve Henson]
11018
11019 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
11020 [Andy Polyakov]
11021
11022 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
11023 of seed file.
11024 [Steve Henson]
11025
11026 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
11027 [Bodo Moeller]
11028
11029 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
11030 [Steve Henson]
11031
11032 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
11033 bits.
11034 [Ulf Möller]
11035
11036 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
11037 [Ulf Möller]
11038
11039 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
11040 [Andy Polyakov]
11041
11042 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
11043 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
11044 [Ulf Möller]
11045
11046 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
11047 options to produce them.
11048 [Steve Henson]
11049
11050 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
11051 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
11052 [Ulf Möller]
11053
11054 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
11055 for p == 0.
11056 [Ulf Möller]
11057
11058 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
11059 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
11060 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
11061 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
11062 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
11063 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
11064 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
11065 [Steve Henson]
11066
11067 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
11068 [Steve Henson]
11069
11070 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
11071 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
11072 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
11073 [Bodo Moeller]
11074
11075 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
11076 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
11077
11078 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
11079 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
11080 [Ulf Möller]
11081
11082 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
11083 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
11084 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
11085 has already seen).
11086 [Bodo Moeller]
11087
11088 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
11089 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
11090
11091 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
11092 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
11093 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
11094 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
11095 generation becomes much faster.
11096
11097 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
11098 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
11099 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
11100 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
11101 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
11102 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
11103 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
11104 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
11105 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
11106 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
11107 [Bodo Moeller]
11108
11109 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
11110 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
11111 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
11112 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
11113 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
11114 trial division stage.
11115 [Bodo Moeller]
11116
11117 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
11118 as ASN1_TIME.
11119 [Steve Henson]
11120
11121 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
11122 [Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
11125 [Ulf Möller]
11126
11127 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
11128 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
11129 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
11130 the comments.
11131 [Ulf Möller]
11132
11133 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
11134 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
11135 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
11136 [Bodo Moeller]
11137
11138 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
11139 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
11140 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
11141 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
11142
11143 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
11144 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
11145 [Steve Henson]
11146
11147 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
11148 [Ulf Möller]
11149
11150 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
11151 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
11152 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
11153 Rabin-Miller iterations.
11154 [Ulf Möller]
11155
11156 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
11157 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
11158 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
11159 [Ulf Möller]
11160
11161 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
11162 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
11163 (instead of parameters) in future.
11164 [Steve Henson]
11165
11166 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
11167 when a new cipher list is set.
11168 [Steve Henson]
11169
11170 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
11171 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
11172 wrong.
11173
11174 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
11175 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
11176 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
11177
11178 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
11179 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
11180 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
11181 an error is flagged.
11182
11183 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
11184 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
11185 the readability was also increased :-)
11186 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
11187
11188 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
11189 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
11190 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
11191 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
11192 as the root CA.
11193 [Steve Henson]
11194
11195 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
11196 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
11197 [Steve Henson]
11198
11199 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
11200 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
11201 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
11202 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
11203 instead.
11204
11205 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
11206 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
11207 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
11208 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
11209 because they handle more complex structures.)
11210 [Steve Henson]
11211
11212 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
11213 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
11214 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
11215 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11216
11217 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
11218 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
11219 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
11220 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
11221 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
11222 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
11223 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
11224 [Ulf Möller]
11225
11226 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
11227 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
11228 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
11229 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
11230 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
11231 [Bodo Moeller]
11232
11233 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
11234 [Bodo Moeller]
11235
11236 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
11237 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
11238 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
11239 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
11240 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
11241 to use this.
11242
11243 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
11244 code.
11245 [Steve Henson]
11246
11247 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
11248 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
11249 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
11250 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
11251 [Steve Henson]
11252
11253 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
11254 [Ulf Möller]
11255
11256 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
11257 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
11258 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
11259 international characters are used.
11260
11261 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
11262 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
11263 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
11264 in ASN1 order.
11265 [Steve Henson]
11266
11267 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
11268 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
11269 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
11270 request.
11271
11272 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
11273 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
11274 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
11275 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
11276 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
11277 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
11278
11279 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
11280 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
11281 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
11282 be handled by the string table functions.
11283
11284 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
11285 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
11286 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
11287 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
11288 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
11289 types at all.
11290 [Steve Henson]
11291
11292 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
11293 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
11294 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
11295 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
11296 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
11297
11298 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
11299 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
11300 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
11301 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
11302 [Bodo Moeller]
11303
11304 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
11305 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
11306 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
11307 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
11308 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
11309 SHA1.
11310 [Andy Polyakov]
11311
11312 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
11313 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
11314 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
11315 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
11316 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
11317 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
11318 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
11319 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
11320
11321 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
11322 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
11323 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
11324 [Steve Henson]
11325
11326 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
11327 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
11328 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
11329 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
11330 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
11331 support to pkcs8 application.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
11335 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
11336 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
11337 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
11338 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
11339 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
11340 [Bodo Moeller]
11341
11342 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
11343 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
11344 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
11345 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
11346 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
11347 consistency.
11348 [Bodo Moeller]
11349
11350 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
11351 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
11352 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
11353 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
11354 example.
11355 [Steve Henson]
11356
11357 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
11358 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
11359 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
11360 and any application specific purposes.
11361
11362 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
11363 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
11364 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
11365 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
11366 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
11367 if the certificate is self signed.
11368 [Steve Henson]
11369
11370 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
11371 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
11372 [Steve Henson]
11373
11374 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
11375 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
11376 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
11377 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
11378 [Steve Henson]
11379
11380 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
11381 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
11382 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
11383 Update documentation.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
11387 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
11388 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
11389 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
11390 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
11391 [Steve Henson]
11392
11393 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
11394 for details.
11395 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
11396
11397 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
11398 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
11399 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
11400 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
11401 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
11402 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
11403 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
11404 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
11405 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
11406 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
11407
11408 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
11409
11410 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11411 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
11412 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
11413 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
11414 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
11415
11416 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
11417 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
11418 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
11419 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
11420 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
11421 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
11422 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
11423 request additional information:
11424 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
11425 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
11426
11427 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
11428 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
11429 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
11430 options.
11431
11432 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
11433 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
11434
11435 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
11436 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
11437 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
11438
11439 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
11440 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
11441
11442 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
11443 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
11444 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
11445 algorithm.
11446 [Steve Henson]
11447
11448 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
11449 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
11450 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
11451
11452 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
11453 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
11454 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
11455 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
11456 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
11457 included in OpenSSL.
11458 [Steve Henson]
11459
11460 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
11461 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
11462 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
11463 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
11464 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
11465 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
11466 [Bodo Moeller]
11467
11468 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
11469 PKCS12 structure.
11470 [Steve Henson]
11471
11472 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
11473 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
11474 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
11475 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
11476 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
11477 structure.
11478 [Steve Henson]
11479
11480 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
11481 need initialising.
11482 [Steve Henson]
11483
11484 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
11485 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
11486 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
11487 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
11488 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
11489 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
11490 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
11491 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
11492 be maintained manually.
11493
11494 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
11495 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
11496 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
11497 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
11498 work because people forget to call this function]
11499 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
11500 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
11501 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
11502 [Steve Henson]
11503
11504 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
11505 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
11506 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
11507 should be discouraged from doing it.
11508 [Ben Laurie]
11509
11510 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
11511 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
11512 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
11513 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
11514 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
11515 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
11516 [Steve Henson]
11517
11518 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
11519 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
11520 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
11521
11522 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
11523 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
11524 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
11525
11526 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
11527 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
11528 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
11529 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
11530 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
11531 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
11532
11533 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
11534 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
11535 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
11536
11537 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
11538 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
11539 and vice versa.
11540
11541 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
11542 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
11543 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
11544 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
11545 [Steve Henson]
11546
11547 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
11548 [Steve Henson]
11549
11550 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
11551 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
11552 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
11553 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
11554 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
11555 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
11556 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
11557 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
11558 keys so we should be OK.
11559
11560 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
11561 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
11562 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
11563 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
11564 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
11565 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
11566 stay in the name of compatibility.
11567
11568 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
11569 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
11570 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
11571
11572 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
11573 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
11574 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
11575 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
11576 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
11577 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
11578 supplied key).
11579 [Steve Henson]
11580
11581 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
11582 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
11583 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
11584 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
11585 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
11586 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
11587 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
11588 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
11589 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
11590 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
11591 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
11592 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
11593 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
11594 [Steve Henson]
11595
11596 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
11597 [Steve Henson]
11598
11599 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
11600 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
11601 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
11602 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
11603 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
11604 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
11605 single self signed certificate. This means that:
11606 openssl verify ss.pem
11607 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
11608 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
11609 is OK.
11610 [Steve Henson]
11611
11612 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
11613 (and add it to external session representation).
11614 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
11615 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
11616 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
11617 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
11618 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
11619 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
11620 security holes.
11621 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
11622
11623 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
11624 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
11625 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
11626 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
11627
11628 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
11629 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
11630 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
11631 [Steve Henson]
11632
11633 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
11634 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
11635 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
11636 code.
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
11640 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
11641 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
11642
11643 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
11644 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
11645 certificate auxiliary information.
11646 [Steve Henson]
11647
11648 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
11649 the 'enc' command.
11650 [Steve Henson]
11651
11652 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
11653 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
11654 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
11655 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
11656 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11657 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11658 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11659 [Richard Levitte]
11660
11661 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11662 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11663 [Steve Henson]
11664
11665 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11666 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11667 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11668 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11669 [Steve Henson]
11670
11671 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11672 [Steve Henson]
11673
11674 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11675 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11676 [Steve Henson]
11677
11678 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11679 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11680 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11681 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11682 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11683 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11684 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11685 using the new 'x509' options.
11686
11687 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11688 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11689 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11690 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11691 for all purposes.
11692 [Steve Henson]
11693
11694 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11695 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11696 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11697 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11698 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11699 [Mark Cox]
11700
11701 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11702 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11703 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11704 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11705 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11706 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11707 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11708 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11709 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11710 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11711 [Steve Henson]
11712
11713 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11714 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11715 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11716 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11717 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11718 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11719 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11720 [Steve Henson]
11721
11722 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11723 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11724 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11725 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11726 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11727 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11728 openssl.cnf for more info.
11729 [Steve Henson]
11730
11731 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11732 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11733 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11734 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11735 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11736 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11737 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11738 md should be large enough anyway.
11739 [Bodo Moeller]
11740
11741 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11742 for handling the random seed file.
11743
11744 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11745 ca,
11746 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11747 s_client,
11748 s_server,
11749 x509 (when signing).
11750 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11751 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11752 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11753
11754 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11755 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11756 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11757 that support '-rand'.
11758 [Bodo Moeller]
11759
11760 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11761 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11762 [Bodo Moeller]
11763
11764 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11765 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11766 [Bill Perry]
11767
11768 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11769 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11770 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11771 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11772 is suitable.
11773 [Steve Henson]
11774
11775 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11776 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11777 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11778 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11779 [Steve Henson]
11780
11781 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11782 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11783 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11784 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11785 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11786 print out all the purposes.
11787 [Steve Henson]
11788
11789 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11790 functions.
11791 [Steve Henson]
11792
11793 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11794 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11795 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11796 single function call.
11797 [Steve Henson]
11798
11799 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11800 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11801 [Andy Polyakov]
11802
11803 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11804 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11805 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11806 [Steve Henson]
11807
11808 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11809 when producing the local key id.
11810 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11811
11812 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11813 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11814 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11815 "server.pem".
11816 [Steve Henson]
11817
11818 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11819 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11820 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11821 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11822 [Steve Henson]
11823
11824 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11825 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11826 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11827 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11828
11829 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11830 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11831 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11832 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11833
11834 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11835 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11836 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11837 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11838 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11839 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11840 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11841 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11842 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11843 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11844 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11845 trivial: move one line.
11846 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11847
11848 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11849 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11850 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11851 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11852 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11853 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11854 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11855 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11856 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11857 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11858 with an event loop for example.
11859 [Steve Henson]
11860
11861 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11862 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11863 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11864 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11865 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11866 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11867 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11868 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11869 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11870 [Steve Henson]
11871
11872 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11873 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11874 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11875 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11876 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11877 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11878 [Steve Henson]
11879
11880 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11881 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11882 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11883 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11884
11885 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11886 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11887 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11888 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11889 key generation.
11890 [Steve Henson]
11891
11892 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11893 (still largely untested)
11894 [Bodo Moeller]
11895
11896 *) New function ASN1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11897 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11898 [Steve Henson]
11899
11900 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11901 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11902 [Steve Henson]
11903
11904 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11905 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11906 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11907 [Bodo Moeller]
11908
11909 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11910 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11911 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11912 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11913 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11914 [Steve Henson]
11915
11916 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11917 [Andy Polyakov]
11918
11919 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11920 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11921 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11922 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11923 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11924 in ca.
11925 [Steve Henson]
11926
11927 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11928 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11929 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11930 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11931 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11932 [Steve Henson]
11933
11934 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11935 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11936 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11937 are otherwise ignored at present.
11938 [Steve Henson]
11939
11940 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11941 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11942 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11943 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11944 copied until the next read.
11945 [Steve Henson]
11946
11947 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11948 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11949 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11950 [Steve Henson]
11951
11952 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11953 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11954 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11955 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11956 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11957 associated functions.
11958 [Steve Henson]
11959
11960 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11961 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11962 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11963 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11964 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11965 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11966 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11967 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11968 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11969 memory BIOs.
11970 [Steve Henson]
11971
11972 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11973 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11974 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11975 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11976 [Bodo Moeller]
11977
11978 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11979 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11980 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11981 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11982 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11983 functionality.
11984 [Steve Henson]
11985
11986 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11987 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11988 under Win32.
11989 [Steve Henson]
11990
11991 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11992 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11993 extensions to be obtained and added.
11994 [Steve Henson]
11995
11996 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11997 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11998 [Bodo Moeller]
11999
12000 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
12001
12002 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12004
12005 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
12006 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
12007
12008 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
12009 program.
12010 [Steve Henson]
12011
12012 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
12013 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
12014 DH parameters contain its length).
12015
12016 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
12017 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
12018 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
12019 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
12020 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
12021 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
12022 utter importance to use
12023 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12024 or
12025 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
12026 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
12027 attacks may become possible!
12028 [Bodo Moeller]
12029
12030 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
12031 [Bodo Moeller]
12032
12033 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
12034 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
12035 [Steve Henson]
12036
12037 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
12038 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
12039 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
12040 or long name.
12041 [Steve Henson]
12042
12043 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
12044 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
12045 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
12046 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
12047 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
12048 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
12049 private key operations.
12050 [Steve Henson]
12051
12052 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
12053 [Andy Polyakov]
12054
12055 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
12056 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
12057 to
12058 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
12059 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
12060 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
12061 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
12062 the password callback is called.
12063 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
12064
12065 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
12066
12067 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
12068 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
12069 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
12070 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
12071 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
12072 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
12073 this will work.
12074
12075 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
12076 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
12077 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
12078 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
12079 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
12080 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
12081 [Bodo Moeller]
12082
12083 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
12084 [Andy Polyakov]
12085
12086 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
12087 delete an unused file.
12088 [Ulf Möller]
12089
12090 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
12091 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
12092 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
12093 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
12094 [Steve Henson]
12095
12096 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
12097 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
12098 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
12099 of an error.
12100 [Bodo Moeller]
12101
12102 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
12103 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
12104 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
12105
12106 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
12107 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
12108 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
12109 comparison" warnings.
12110 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
12111 [Steve Henson]
12112
12113 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
12114 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
12115 derived keys are printed to stderr.
12116 [Steve Henson]
12117
12118 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
12119 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
12120
12121 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
12122 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
12123
12124 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
12125 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
12126 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
12127
12128 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
12129 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
12130 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
12131 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
12132 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
12133 this bug.
12134 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
12135
12136 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
12137 The interface is as follows:
12138 Applications can use
12139 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
12140 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
12141 "off" is now the default.
12142 The library internally uses
12143 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
12144 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
12145 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
12146
12147 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
12148 even the default) are now avoided.
12149
12150 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
12151 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
12152 than just having a counter.
12153
12154 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
12155
12156 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
12157 extensions.
12158 [Bodo Moeller]
12159
12160 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
12161 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
12162 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
12163 Initial "mode" flags are:
12164
12165 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
12166 a single record has been written.
12167 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
12168 retries use the same buffer location.
12169 (But all of the contents must be
12170 copied!)
12171 [Bodo Moeller]
12172
12173 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
12174 worked.
12175
12176 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
12177 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
12178
12179 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
12180 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
12181 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
12182 [Steve Henson]
12183
12184 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
12185 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
12186 test programs.
12187 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
12188
12189 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
12190 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
12191 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
12192 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
12193 point to the end.
12194 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
12195 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
12196
12197 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
12198 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
12199 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
12200 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
12201 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
12202 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
12203 [Steve Henson]
12204
12205 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
12206 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
12207 necessary function names.
12208 [Steve Henson]
12209
12210 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
12211 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
12212 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
12213 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
12214 [Bodo Moeller]
12215
12216 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
12217 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
12218 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
12219 [Steve Henson]
12220
12221 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
12222 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
12223 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
12224 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
12225 such programs?)
12226 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
12227 need locks.
12228 [Bodo Moeller]
12229
12230 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
12231 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
12232 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
12233 [Bodo Moeller]
12234
12235 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
12236 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
12237 appropriate.
12238 [Bodo Moeller]
12239
12240 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
12241 for the encoded length.
12242 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
12243
12244 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
12245 [Steve Henson]
12246
12247 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
12248 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
12249 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
12250 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
12251 [Steve Henson]
12252
12253 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
12254 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
12255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12256
12257 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
12258 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
12259 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
12260 unusual formatting.
12261 [Steve Henson]
12262
12263 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
12264 to use the new extension code.
12265 [Steve Henson]
12266
12267 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
12268 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
12269 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
12270 constant.
12271 [Steve Henson]
12272
12273 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
12274 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
12275 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
12276 [Bodo Moeller]
12277
12278 #if 0
12279 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
12280 [Ben Laurie]
12281 #else
12282 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
12283 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
12284 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
12285 #endif
12286
12287 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
12288 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
12289 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
12290 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
12291 [Ben Laurie]
12292
12293 *) DES library cleanups.
12294 [Ulf Möller]
12295
12296 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
12297 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
12298 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
12299 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
12300 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
12301 of v2.0.
12302 [Steve Henson]
12303
12304 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
12305 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
12306 [Bodo Moeller]
12307
12308 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
12309 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
12310 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
12311 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
12312 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
12313 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
12314 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
12315 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
12316 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
12317 [Steve Henson]
12318
12319 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
12320 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
12321 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
12322 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
12323 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
12324 value doesn't matter.
12325 [Steve Henson]
12326
12327 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
12328 support mutable.
12329 [Ben Laurie]
12330
12331 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
12332 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
12333 "linux-sparc" configuration.
12334 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
12335
12336 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
12337 [Ulf Möller]
12338
12339 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
12340 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
12341 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12342
12343 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
12344 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
12345
12346 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
12347 [Ben Laurie]
12348
12349 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
12350 [Ben Laurie]
12351
12352 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
12353 [Ben Laurie]
12354
12355 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
12356 [Bodo Moeller]
12357
12358
12359 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
12360
12361 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
12362
12363 *) Updated some demos.
12364 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
12365
12366 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
12367 [Wu Zhigang]
12368
12369 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
12370 [Steve Henson]
12371
12372 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
12373 [Steve Henson]
12374
12375 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
12376 instead of using a fixed path.
12377 [Bodo Moeller]
12378
12379 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
12380 [Andy Polyakov]
12381
12382 *) Improvements for VMS support.
12383 [Richard Levitte]
12384
12385
12386 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
12387
12388 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
12389 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
12390 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12391
12392 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
12393 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
12394 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
12395 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
12396 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
12397 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
12398 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
12399 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
12400 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
12401 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
12402 [Steve Henson]
12403
12404 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
12405 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
12406 [Steve Henson]
12407
12408 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
12409 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
12410 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
12411 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
12412 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
12413
12414 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
12415 [Bodo Moeller]
12416
12417 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
12418 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
12419 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
12420 [Steve Henson]
12421
12422 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
12423 [Ben Laurie]
12424
12425 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
12426 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
12427 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
12428 key elements as negative integers.
12429 [Steve Henson]
12430
12431 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
12432 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12433
12434 *) VMS support.
12435 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
12436
12437 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
12438 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
12439 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
12440 [Steve Henson]
12441
12442 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
12443 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
12444 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
12445 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
12446 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
12447 [Bodo Moeller]
12448
12449 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
12450 [Ulf Möller]
12451
12452 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
12453 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
12454 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
12455 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12456
12457 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
12458 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
12459 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
12460
12461 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
12462 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
12463 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
12464 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
12465 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
12466 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
12467 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
12468 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
12469 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
12470
12471 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
12472 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
12473 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
12474 does not influence s as it used to.
12475
12476 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
12477 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
12478 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
12479 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
12480 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
12481 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
12482 [Bodo Moeller]
12483
12484 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
12485 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
12486 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
12487 key type.
12488 [Steve Henson]
12489
12490 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
12491 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
12492 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
12493 and 'x509').
12494 [Steve Henson]
12495
12496 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
12497 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
12498 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
12499 extension option.
12500 [Steve Henson]
12501
12502 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
12503 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
12504 [Ben Laurie]
12505
12506 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
12507 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
12508
12509 *) Support Mingw32.
12510 [Ulf Möller]
12511
12512 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
12513 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12514
12515 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
12516 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12517
12518 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
12519 [Ulf Möller]
12520
12521 *) Update HPUX configuration.
12522 [Anonymous]
12523
12524 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
12525 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12526
12527 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
12528 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
12529 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
12530 DER-encoded.)
12531 [Bodo Moeller]
12532
12533 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
12534 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
12535 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
12536 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
12537 now it really counts the depth.
12538 [Bodo Moeller]
12539
12540 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
12541 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
12542 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
12543 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
12544 didn't match the private key).
12545
12546 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
12547 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
12548 connection using the SSL_CTX).
12549 [Bodo Moeller]
12550
12551 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
12552 [Ulf Möller]
12553
12554 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
12555 David Harris.
12556 [Bodo Moeller]
12557
12558 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
12559 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
12560 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
12561 [Bodo Moeller]
12562
12563 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
12564 [Bodo Moeller]
12565
12566 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
12567 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
12568 such as /usr/local/bin.
12569 [Bodo Moeller]
12570
12571 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
12572 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12573
12574 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
12575 [Ulf Möller]
12576
12577 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
12578 extension adding in x509 utility.
12579 [Steve Henson]
12580
12581 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
12582 [Ulf Möller]
12583
12584 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
12585 prototypes.
12586 [Steve Henson]
12587
12588 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
12589 [Ulf Möller]
12590
12591 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
12592 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
12593 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
12594 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
12595 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
12596 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
12597 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
12598 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
12599 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
12600 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
12601 [Steve Henson]
12602
12603 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
12604 [Bodo Moeller]
12605
12606 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
12607 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
12608 [Bodo Moeller]
12609
12610 *) Fix some race conditions.
12611 [Bodo Moeller]
12612
12613 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
12614 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
12615 [Steve Henson]
12616
12617 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
12618 [Ulf Möller]
12619
12620 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
12621 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
12622 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
12623 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
12624
12625 *) Fix lots of warnings.
12626 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12627
12628 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
12629 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
12630 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12631
12632 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
12633 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12634
12635 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
12636 [Ulf Möller]
12637
12638 *) Fix typos in error codes.
12639 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
12640
12641 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
12642 [Ulf Möller]
12643
12644 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
12645 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
12646
12647 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
12648 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
12649 [Steve Henson]
12650
12651 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
12652 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
12653 [Ben Laurie]
12654
12655 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
12656 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12657 [Steve Henson]
12658
12659 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12660 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12661 [Steve Henson]
12662
12663 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12664 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12665 [Steve Henson]
12666
12667 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12668 support typesafe stack.
12669 [Steve Henson]
12670
12671 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12672 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12673
12674 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12675 old X509V3 handling code.
12676 [Steve Henson]
12677
12678 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12679 [Ulf Möller]
12680
12681 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12682 [Bodo Moeller]
12683
12684 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12685 [Ben Laurie]
12686
12687 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12688 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12689
12690 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12691 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12692 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12693 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12694 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12695 [Ben Laurie]
12696
12697 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12698 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12699 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12700 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12701 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12702
12703 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12704 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12705 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12707
12708 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12709 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12710 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12711 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12712
12713 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12714 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12715 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12716 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12717 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12718 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12719 [Bodo Moeller]
12720
12721 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12722 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12723 [Bodo Moeller]
12724
12725 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12726 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12727 [Ulf Möller]
12728
12729 *) Tweaks to Configure
12730 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12731
12732 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12733 yet...
12734 [Steve Henson]
12735
12736 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12737 [Ulf Möller]
12738
12739 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12740 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12741 [Ulf Möller]
12742
12743 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12744 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12745 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12746 [Bodo Moeller]
12747
12748 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12749 [Bodo Moeller]
12750
12751 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12752 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12753 [Steve Henson]
12754
12755 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12756 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12757 to library startup routines.
12758 [Steve Henson]
12759
12760 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12761 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12762 codes along the way.
12763 [Steve Henson]
12764
12765 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12766 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12767 objects to objects.h
12768 [Steve Henson]
12769
12770 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12771 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12772 [Steve Henson]
12773
12774 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12775 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12776
12777 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12778 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12779 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12780
12781 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12782 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12783 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12784
12785 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12786 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12787 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12788
12789
12790 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12791
12792 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12793 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12794 [Ben Laurie]
12795
12796 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12797 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12798 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12799 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12800 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12801
12802 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12803 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12804 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12805 document.
12806 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12807
12808 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12809 Malloc, Free.
12810 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12811
12812 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12813 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12814
12815 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12816 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12817 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12818 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12819
12820 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12821 [Ben Laurie]
12822
12823 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12824 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12825 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12826 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12827 [Steve Henson]
12828
12829 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12830 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12831 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12832 [Steve Henson]
12833
12834 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12835 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12836 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12837 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12838 installed as `perl').
12839 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12840
12841 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12842 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12843
12844 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12845 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12846 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12847 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12848 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12849 [Steve Henson]
12850
12851 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12852 [Ben Laurie]
12853
12854 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12855 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12856 is horrible: I feel ill....
12857 [Steve Henson]
12858
12859 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12860 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12861 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12862 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12863 [Steve Henson]
12864
12865 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12867
12868 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12869 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12870 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12871 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12872
12873 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12874 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12875 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12876 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12877 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12878 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12879 openssl_bio.xs.
12880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12881
12882 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12883 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12884
12885 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12886 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12887
12888 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12889 [Ben Laurie]
12890
12891 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12892 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12893 in CRLs.
12894 [Steve Henson]
12895
12896 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12897 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12898 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12899 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12900 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12901 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12902 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12903 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12904 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12905 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12907
12908 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12909 [Ben Laurie]
12910
12911 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12912 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12913 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12914 for linking it into DSOs.
12915 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12916
12917 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12918 Fixed.
12919 [Ben Laurie]
12920
12921 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12922 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12923 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12924 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12925 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12926 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12927
12928 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12929 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12930 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12931 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12932 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12933 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12934 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12935
12936 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12937 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12938 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12939 encryption.
12940 [Ben Laurie]
12941
12942 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12943 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12944 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12945 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12946 [Steve Henson]
12947
12948 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12949 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12950 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12951 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12952 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12953 field as blank.
12954 [Steve Henson]
12955
12956 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12957 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12958 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12959 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12961
12962 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12963 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12964 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12965
12966 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12967 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12968
12969 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12970 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12971 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12972 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12973 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12974 [Steve Henson]
12975
12976 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12977 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12978 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12979 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12980 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12981 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12982 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12983 [Ben Laurie]
12984
12985 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12986 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12987 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12988 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12989 [Ben Laurie]
12990
12991 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12992 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12993
12994 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12995 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12996 [Steve Henson]
12997
12998 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12999 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
13000 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
13001 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
13002 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
13003 (e.g. s_server).
13004 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
13005 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
13006 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
13007 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
13008 no way to reconfigure them.
13009 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
13010 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
13011 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
13012 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
13013 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
13014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13015
13016 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
13017 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
13018 recognized by the users.
13019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13020
13021 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
13022 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
13023 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
13024 already masked variable.
13025 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13026
13027 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
13028 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13029
13030 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
13031 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
13032 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
13033 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
13034
13035 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
13036 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
13037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13038
13039 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
13040 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
13041 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
13042 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
13043 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
13044 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
13045 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
13046 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
13047 now, too.
13048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13049
13050 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
13051 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
13052 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13053
13054 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
13055 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
13056 config file.
13057 [Steve Henson]
13058
13059 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
13060 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
13061
13062 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
13063 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
13064 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
13065 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
13066 [Ben Laurie]
13067
13068 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
13069 [Steve Henson]
13070
13071 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
13072 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13073
13074 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
13075 [Ben Laurie]
13076
13077 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
13078 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
13079 [Steve Henson]
13080
13081 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
13082 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
13083 [Steve Henson]
13084
13085 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
13086 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
13087 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
13088 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
13089 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
13090 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
13091 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
13092 Ben Laurie]
13093
13094 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
13095 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13096
13097 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
13098 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
13099 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
13100 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
13101 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13102
13103 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
13104 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
13105 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
13106 [Steve Henson]
13107
13108 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
13109 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
13110 an example.
13111 [Steve Henson]
13112
13113 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
13114 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
13115 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13116
13117 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
13118 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
13119 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
13120 build instructions.
13121 [Steve Henson]
13122
13123 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
13124 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
13125 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
13126 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
13127 [Steve Henson]
13128
13129 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
13130 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
13131 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
13132 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
13133 [Ben Laurie]
13134
13135 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
13136 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
13137 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
13138 so it wasn't spotted.
13139 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
13140
13141 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
13142 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
13143 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
13144 vectors if you have them.
13145 [Ben Laurie]
13146
13147 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
13148 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
13149 [Ben Laurie]
13150
13151 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
13152 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
13153 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
13154 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
13155 If you do a:
13156 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
13157 it will update them.
13158 [Steve Henson]
13159
13160 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
13161 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
13162 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
13163 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
13164 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
13165 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
13166 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
13167 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13168
13169 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
13170 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
13171 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
13172 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
13173 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
13174 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
13175 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
13176 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
13177 the crypto/md/ stuff).
13178 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13179
13180 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
13181 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
13182 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
13183 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
13184 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
13185 [Steve Henson]
13186
13187 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
13188 INTEGER code.
13189 [Steve Henson]
13190
13191 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
13192 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13193
13194 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
13195 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
13196
13197 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
13198 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
13199 [Ben Laurie]
13200
13201 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
13202 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
13203
13204 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
13205 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
13206
13207 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
13208 [Steve Henson]
13209
13210 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
13211 few typos.
13212 [Steve Henson]
13213
13214 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
13215 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
13216 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
13217 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
13218
13219 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13220 [Steve Henson]
13221
13222 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
13223 [Steve Henson]
13224
13225 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
13226 [Steve Henson]
13227
13228 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
13229 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
13230 [Steve Henson]
13231
13232 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
13233 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
13234 CA extensions.
13235 [Steve Henson]
13236
13237 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
13238 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
13239 [Steve Henson]
13240
13241 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
13242 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
13243 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
13244 [Steve Henson]
13245
13246 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
13247 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
13248 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
13249 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
13250 properly to be processed.
13251 [Steve Henson]
13252
13253 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
13254 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
13255 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
13256 [Ben Laurie]
13257
13258 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
13259 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
13260
13261 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
13262 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
13263 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
13264 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
13265 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
13266 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
13267 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
13268 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
13269 or delete all the .err files.
13270 [Steve Henson]
13271
13272 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
13273 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
13274 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
13275 to regenerate it if needed.
13276 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
13277 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
13278
13279 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
13280 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13281
13282 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
13283 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
13284 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
13285 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
13286 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
13287 [Steve Henson]
13288
13289 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
13290 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13291
13292 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
13293 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13294
13295 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
13296 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
13297 error, but didn't set one).
13298 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13299
13300 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
13301 [Ben Laurie]
13302
13303 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
13304 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
13305 [Steve Henson]
13306
13307 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
13308 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
13309
13310 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
13311 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
13312 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
13313 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
13314 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
13315 OID is not part of the table.
13316 [Steve Henson]
13317
13318 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
13319 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
13320 [Ben Laurie]
13321
13322 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
13323 [Ben Laurie]
13324
13325 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
13326 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
13327 was "1234").
13328 [Steve Henson]
13329
13330 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
13331 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
13332
13333 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
13334 NULL pointers.
13335 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13336
13337 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
13338 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13339
13340 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
13341 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
13342
13343 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
13344 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
13345
13346 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
13347 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
13348 [Ben Laurie]
13349
13350 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
13351 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
13352 [Steve Henson]
13353
13354 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
13355 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13356
13357 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
13358 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13359
13360 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
13361 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13362
13363 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
13364 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
13365
13366 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
13367 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
13368 unused in the certificate verification process.
13369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13370
13371 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
13372 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
13373 [Steve Henson]
13374
13375 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
13376 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
13377 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
13378
13379 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
13380 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
13381 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
13382 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
13383 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
13384
13385 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
13386 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
13387 [Steve Henson]
13388
13389 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
13390 [Steve Henson]
13391
13392 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
13393 [Paul Sutton]
13394
13395 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
13396 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
13397
13398 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
13399 [Ben Laurie]
13400
13401 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
13402 [Ben Laurie]
13403
13404 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
13405 [Ben Laurie]
13406
13407 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
13408 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
13409 other error libraries.
13410 [Steve Henson]
13411
13412 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
13413 [Steve Henson]
13414
13415 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
13416 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
13417 be read in.
13418 [Steve Henson]
13419
13420 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
13421 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
13422 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
13423 the new set of documentation files.
13424 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13425
13426 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
13427 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
13428 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
13429 number of arguments.
13430 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
13431
13432 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
13433 [Ben Laurie]
13434
13435 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
13436 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
13437 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
13438
13439 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
13440 [Ben Laurie]
13441
13442 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
13443 nextstep
13444 ncr-scde
13445 unixware-2.0
13446 unixware-2.0-pentium
13447 sco5-cc.
13448 [Ben Laurie]
13449
13450 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
13451 before they are needed.
13452 [Ben Laurie]
13453
13454 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
13455 [Ben Laurie]
13456
13457
13458 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
13459
13460 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
13461 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
13462 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13463
13464 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
13465 [Paul Sutton]
13466
13467 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
13468 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
13469 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13470
13471 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
13472 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
13473 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
13474
13475 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
13476 when "ssleay" is still not found.
13477 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13478
13479 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
13480 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
13481
13482 *) Updated the README file.
13483 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13484
13485 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
13486 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
13487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13488
13489 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
13490 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
13491 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13492
13493 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
13494 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
13495 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
13496 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
13497 o removed obsolete TODO file
13498 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
13499 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13500
13501 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
13502 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
13503 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
13504 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
13505 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
13506 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
13507 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
13508
13509 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
13510 [Mark J. Cox]
13511
13512 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
13513 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
13514 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
13515 summer 1998.
13516 [The OpenSSL Project]

13523
13524 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
13525 [Eric A. Young]
13526
13527 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
13528 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
13529 [Eric A. Young]
13530
13531 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
13532 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
13533 available).
13534 [Eric A. Young]
13535
13536 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
13537 binary structures
13538 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
13539
13540 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
13541 [Eric A. Young]
13542
13543 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
13544 [Eric A. Young]
13545
13546 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
13547 [Eric A. Young]
13548
13549 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
13550 [Eric A. Young]
13551
13552 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
13553 [Eric A. Young]
13554
13555 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.

13557
13558 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
13559 [Eric A. Young]
13560
13561 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
13562 [Eric A. Young]
13563
13564 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
13565 [Eric A. Young]
13566
13567 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
13568 [Eric A. Young]
13569
13570 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
13571 [Eric A. Young]
13572
13573 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
13574 [Eric A. Young]
13575
13576 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
13577 [Eric A. Young]
13578
13579 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
13580 [Eric A. Young]
13581
13582 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
13583 [Eric A. Young]
13584
13585 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
13586 [Eric A. Young]
13587
13588 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
13589 [Eric A. Young]
13590
13591 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
13592 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
13593 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
13594 [Eric A. Young]
13595
13596 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
13597 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
13598 [Eric A. Young]
13599
13600 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
13601 [Eric A. Young]
13602
13603 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
13604 [Eric A. Young]
13605

13607 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
13608 [Eric A. Young]
13609
13610 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.

13617 bytes sent in the client random.
13618 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
