10 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
11 *) Add blinding to an ECDSA signature to protect against side channel attacks
12 discovered by Keegan Ryan (NCC Group).
13 [Matt Caswell]
14
15 *) Enforce checking in the pkeyutl command line app to ensure that the input
16 length does not exceed the maximum supported digest length when performing
17 a sign, verify or verifyrecover operation.
18 [Matt Caswell]
19
20 *) SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY is enabled by default. Applications that use blocking
21 I/O in combination with something like select() or poll() will hang. This
22 can be turned off again using SSL_CTX_clear_mode().
23 Many applications do not properly handle non-application data records, and
24 TLS 1.3 sends more of such records. Setting SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY works
25 around the problems in those applications, but can also break some.
26 It's recommended to read the manpages about SSL_read(), SSL_write(),
27 SSL_get_error(), SSL_shutdown(), SSL_CTX_set_mode() and
28 SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead() again.
29 [Kurt Roeckx]
30
31 *) When unlocking a pass phrase protected PEM file or PKCS#8 container, we
32 now allow empty (zero character) pass phrases.
33 [Richard Levitte]
34
35 *) Apply blinding to binary field modular inversion and remove patent
36 pending (OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV) BN_GF2m_mod_div implementation.
37 [Billy Bob Brumley]
38
39 *) Deprecate ec2_mult.c and unify scalar multiplication code paths for
40 binary and prime elliptic curves.
41 [Billy Bob Brumley]
42
43 *) Remove ECDSA nonce padding: EC_POINT_mul is now responsible for
44 constant time fixed point multiplication.
45 [Billy Bob Brumley]
46
47 *) Revise elliptic curve scalar multiplication with timing attack
48 defenses: ec_wNAF_mul redirects to a constant time implementation
49 when computing fixed point and variable point multiplication (which
50 in OpenSSL are mostly used with secret scalars in keygen, sign,
51 ECDH derive operations).
52 [Billy Bob Brumley, Nicola Tuveri, Cesar Pereida García,
53 Sohaib ul Hassan]
54
55 *) Updated CONTRIBUTING
56 [Rich Salz]
57
58 *) Updated DRBG / RAND to request nonce and additional low entropy
59 randomness from the system.
60 [Matthias St. Pierre]
61
62 *) Updated 'openssl rehash' to use OpenSSL consistent default.
63 [Richard Levitte]
64
65 *) Moved the load of the ssl_conf module to libcrypto, which helps
66 loading engines that libssl uses before libssl is initialised.
67 [Matt Caswell]
68
69 *) Added EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify() for EdDSA
70 [Matt Caswell]
71
72 *) Fixed X509_NAME_ENTRY_set to get multi-valued RDNs right in all cases.
73 [Ingo Schwarze, Rich Salz]
74
75 *) Added output of accepting IP address and port for 'openssl s_server'
76 [Richard Levitte]
77
78 *) Added a new API for TLSv1.3 ciphersuites:
79 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites()
80 SSL_set_ciphersuites()
81 [Matt Caswell]
82
83 *) Memory allocation failures consistenly add an error to the error
84 stack.
85 [Rich Salz]
86
87 *) Don't use OPENSSL_ENGINES and OPENSSL_CONF environment values
88 in libcrypto when run as setuid/setgid.
89 [Bernd Edlinger]
90
91 *) Load any config file by default when libssl is used.
92 [Matt Caswell]
93
94 *) Added new public header file <openssl/rand_drbg.h> and documentation
95 for the RAND_DRBG API. See manual page RAND_DRBG(7) for an overview.
96 [Matthias St. Pierre]
97
98 *) QNX support removed (cannot find contributors to get their approval
99 for the license change).
100 [Rich Salz]
101
102 *) TLSv1.3 replay protection for early data has been implemented. See the
103 SSL_read_early_data() man page for further details.
104 [Matt Caswell]
105
106 *) Separated TLSv1.3 ciphersuite configuration out from TLSv1.2 ciphersuite
107 configuration. TLSv1.3 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.2 and
108 below. Similarly TLSv1.2 ciphersuites are not compatible with TLSv1.3.
109 In order to avoid issues where legacy TLSv1.2 ciphersuite configuration
110 would otherwise inadvertently disable all TLSv1.3 ciphersuites the
111 configuration has been separated out. See the ciphers man page or the
112 SSL_CTX_set_ciphersuites() man page for more information.
113 [Matt Caswell]
114
115 *) On POSIX (BSD, Linux, ...) systems the ocsp(1) command running
116 in responder mode now supports the new "-multi" option, which
117 spawns the specified number of child processes to handle OCSP
118 requests. The "-timeout" option now also limits the OCSP
119 responder's patience to wait to receive the full client request
120 on a newly accepted connection. Child processes are respawned
121 as needed, and the CA index file is automatically reloaded
122 when changed. This makes it possible to run the "ocsp" responder
123 as a long-running service, making the OpenSSL CA somewhat more
124 feature-complete. In this mode, most diagnostic messages logged
125 after entering the event loop are logged via syslog(3) rather than
126 written to stderr.
127 [Viktor Dukhovni]
128
129 *) Added support for X448 and Ed448. Heavily based on original work by
130 Mike Hamburg.
131 [Matt Caswell]
132
133 *) Extend OSSL_STORE with capabilities to search and to narrow the set of
134 objects loaded. This adds the functions OSSL_STORE_expect() and
135 OSSL_STORE_find() as well as needed tools to construct searches and
136 get the search data out of them.
137 [Richard Levitte]
138
139 *) Support for TLSv1.3 added. Note that users upgrading from an earlier
140 version of OpenSSL should review their configuration settings to ensure
141 that they are still appropriate for TLSv1.3. For further information see:
142 https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/02/08/tlsv1.3/
143
144 NOTE: In this pre-release of OpenSSL a draft version of the
145 TLSv1.3 standard has been implemented. Implementations of different draft
146 versions of the standard do not inter-operate, and this version will not
147 inter-operate with an implementation of the final standard when it is
148 eventually published. Different pre-release versions may implement
149 different versions of the draft. The final version of OpenSSL 1.1.1 will
150 implement the final version of the standard.
151 TODO(TLS1.3): Remove the above note before final release
152 [Matt Caswell]
153
154 *) Grand redesign of the OpenSSL random generator
155
156 The default RAND method now utilizes an AES-CTR DRBG according to
157 NIST standard SP 800-90Ar1. The new random generator is essentially
158 a port of the default random generator from the OpenSSL FIPS 2.0
159 object module. It is a hybrid deterministic random bit generator
160 using an AES-CTR bit stream and which seeds and reseeds itself
161 automatically using trusted system entropy sources.
162
163 Some of its new features are:
164 o Support for multiple DRBG instances with seed chaining.
165 o Add a public DRBG instance for the default RAND method.
166 o Add a dedicated DRBG instance for generating long term private keys.
167 o Make the DRBG instances fork-safe.
168 o Keep all global DRBG instances on the secure heap if it is enabled.
169 o Add a DRBG instance to every SSL instance for lock free operation
170 and to increase unpredictability.
171 [Paul Dale, Benjamin Kaduk, Kurt Roeckx, Rich Salz, Matthias St. Pierre]
172
173 *) Changed Configure so it only says what it does and doesn't dump
174 so much data. Instead, ./configdata.pm should be used as a script
175 to display all sorts of configuration data.
176 [Richard Levitte]
177
178 *) Added processing of "make variables" to Configure.
179 [Richard Levitte]
180
181 *) Added SHA512/224 and SHA512/256 algorithm support.
182 [Paul Dale]
183
184 *) The last traces of Netware support, first removed in 1.1.0, have
185 now been removed.
186 [Rich Salz]
187
188 *) Get rid of Makefile.shared, and in the process, make the processing
189 of certain files (rc.obj, or the .def/.map/.opt files produced from
190 the ordinal files) more visible and hopefully easier to trace and
191 debug (or make silent).
192 [Richard Levitte]
193
194 *) Make it possible to have environment variable assignments as
195 arguments to config / Configure.
196 [Richard Levitte]
197
198 *) Add multi-prime RSA (RFC 8017) support.
199 [Paul Yang]
200
201 *) Add SM3 implemented according to GB/T 32905-2016
202 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
203 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
204 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
205
206 *) Add 'Maximum Fragment Length' TLS extension negotiation and support
207 as documented in RFC6066.
208 Based on a patch from Tomasz Moń
209 [Filipe Raimundo da Silva]
210
211 *) Add SM4 implemented according to GB/T 32907-2016.
212 [ Jack Lloyd <jack.lloyd@ribose.com>,
213 Ronald Tse <ronald.tse@ribose.com>,
214 Erick Borsboom <erick.borsboom@ribose.com> ]
215
216 *) Reimplement -newreq-nodes and ERR_error_string_n; the
217 original author does not agree with the license change.
218 [Rich Salz]
219
220 *) Add ARIA AEAD TLS support.
221 [Jon Spillett]
222
223 *) Some macro definitions to support VS6 have been removed. Visual
224 Studio 6 has not worked since 1.1.0
225 [Rich Salz]
226
227 *) Add ERR_clear_last_mark(), to allow callers to clear the last mark
228 without clearing the errors.
229 [Richard Levitte]
230
231 *) Add "atfork" functions. If building on a system that without
232 pthreads, see doc/man3/OPENSSL_fork_prepare.pod for application
233 requirements. The RAND facility now uses/requires this.
234 [Rich Salz]
235
236 *) Add SHA3.
237 [Andy Polyakov]
238
239 *) The UI API becomes a permanent and integral part of libcrypto, i.e.
240 not possible to disable entirely. However, it's still possible to
241 disable the console reading UI method, UI_OpenSSL() (use UI_null()
242 as a fallback).
243
244 To disable, configure with 'no-ui-console'. 'no-ui' is still
245 possible to use as an alias. Check at compile time with the
246 macro OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE. The macro OPENSSL_NO_UI is still
247 possible to check and is an alias for OPENSSL_NO_UI_CONSOLE.
248 [Richard Levitte]
249
250 *) Add a STORE module, which implements a uniform and URI based reader of
251 stores that can contain keys, certificates, CRLs and numerous other
252 objects. The main API is loosely based on a few stdio functions,
253 and includes OSSL_STORE_open, OSSL_STORE_load, OSSL_STORE_eof,
254 OSSL_STORE_error and OSSL_STORE_close.
255 The implementation uses backends called "loaders" to implement arbitrary
256 URI schemes. There is one built in "loader" for the 'file' scheme.
257 [Richard Levitte]
258
259 *) Add devcrypto engine. This has been implemented against cryptodev-linux,
260 then adjusted to work on FreeBSD 8.4 as well.
261 Enable by configuring with 'enable-devcryptoeng'. This is done by default
262 on BSD implementations, as cryptodev.h is assumed to exist on all of them.
263 [Richard Levitte]
264
265 *) Module names can prefixed with OSSL_ or OPENSSL_. This affects
266 util/mkerr.pl, which is adapted to allow those prefixes, leading to
267 error code calls like this:
268
269 OSSL_FOOerr(OSSL_FOO_F_SOMETHING, OSSL_FOO_R_WHATEVER);
270
271 With this change, we claim the namespaces OSSL and OPENSSL in a manner
272 that can be encoded in C. For the foreseeable future, this will only
273 affect new modules.
274 [Richard Levitte and Tim Hudson]
275
276 *) Removed BSD cryptodev engine.
277 [Rich Salz]
278
279 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
280 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
281 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
282 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
283 [Richard Levitte]
284
285 *) In the UI interface, make it possible to duplicate the user data. This
286 can be used by engines that need to retain the data for a longer time
287 than just the call where this user data is passed.
288 [Richard Levitte]
289
290 *) Ignore the '-named_curve auto' value for compatibility of applications
291 with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
292 [Tomas Mraz <tmraz@fedoraproject.org>]
293
294 *) Fragmented SSL/TLS alerts are no longer accepted. An alert message is 2
295 bytes long. In theory it is permissible in SSLv3 - TLSv1.2 to fragment such
296 alerts across multiple records (some of which could be empty). In practice
297 it make no sense to send an empty alert record, or to fragment one. TLSv1.3
298 prohibts this altogether and other libraries (BoringSSL, NSS) do not
299 support this at all. Supporting it adds significant complexity to the
300 record layer, and its removal is unlikely to cause inter-operability
301 issues.
302 [Matt Caswell]
303
304 *) Add the ASN.1 types INT32, UINT32, INT64, UINT64 and variants prefixed
305 with Z. These are meant to replace LONG and ZLONG and to be size safe.
306 The use of LONG and ZLONG is discouraged and scheduled for deprecation
307 in OpenSSL 1.2.0.
308 [Richard Levitte]
309
310 *) Add the 'z' and 'j' modifiers to BIO_printf() et al formatting string,
311 'z' is to be used for [s]size_t, and 'j' - with [u]int64_t.
312 [Richard Levitte, Andy Polyakov]
313
314 *) Add EC_KEY_get0_engine(), which does for EC_KEY what RSA_get0_engine()
315 does for RSA, etc.
316 [Richard Levitte]
317
318 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
319 platform rather than 'mingw'.
320 [Richard Levitte]
321
322 *) The functions X509_STORE_add_cert and X509_STORE_add_crl return
323 success if they are asked to add an object which already exists
324 in the store. This change cascades to other functions which load
325 certificates and CRLs.
326 [Paul Dale]
327
328 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
329 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
330 [Andy Polyakov]
331
332 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
333 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
334 [Richard Levitte]
335
336 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
337 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
338 which is the minimum version we support.
339 [Richard Levitte]
340
341 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
342 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
343 are no longer allowed.
344 [Emilia Käsper]
345
346 *) Add support for ARIA
347 [Paul Dale]
348
349 *) s_client will now send the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension by
350 default unless the new "-noservername" option is used. The server name is
351 based on the host provided to the "-connect" option unless overridden by
352 using "-servername".
353 [Matt Caswell]
354
355 *) Add support for SipHash
356 [Todd Short]
357
358 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
359 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
360 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
361 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
362 [Matt Caswell]
363
364 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
365 using the algorithm defined in
366 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
367 [Richard Levitte]
368
369 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
370 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
371
372 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
373 [Emilia Käsper]
374
375 *) The RSA "null" method, which was partially supported to avoid patent
376 issues, has been replaced to always returns NULL.
377 [Rich Salz]
378
379
380 Changes between 1.1.0h and 1.1.0i [xx XXX xxxx]
381
382 *) Fixed a text canonicalisation bug in CMS
383
384 Where a CMS detached signature is used with text content the text goes
385 through a canonicalisation process first prior to signing or verifying a
386 signature. This process strips trailing space at the end of lines, converts
387 line terminators to CRLF and removes additional trailing line terminators
388 at the end of a file. A bug in the canonicalisation process meant that
389 some characters, such as form-feed, were incorrectly treated as whitespace
390 and removed. This is contrary to the specification (RFC5485). This fix
391 could mean that detached text data signed with an earlier version of
392 OpenSSL 1.1.0 may fail to verify using the fixed version, or text data
393 signed with a fixed OpenSSL may fail to verify with an earlier version of
394 OpenSSL 1.1.0. A workaround is to only verify the canonicalised text data
395 and use the "-binary" flag (for the "cms" command line application) or set
396 the SMIME_BINARY/PKCS7_BINARY/CMS_BINARY flags (if using CMS_verify()).
397 [Matt Caswell]
398
399 Changes between 1.1.0g and 1.1.0h [27 Mar 2018]
400
401 *) Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack
402
403 Constructed ASN.1 types with a recursive definition (such as can be found
404 in PKCS7) could eventually exceed the stack given malicious input with
405 excessive recursion. This could result in a Denial Of Service attack. There
406 are no such structures used within SSL/TLS that come from untrusted sources
407 so this is considered safe.
408
409 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 4th January 2018 by the OSS-fuzz
410 project.
411 (CVE-2018-0739)
412 [Matt Caswell]
413
414 *) Incorrect CRYPTO_memcmp on HP-UX PA-RISC
415
416 Because of an implementation bug the PA-RISC CRYPTO_memcmp function is
417 effectively reduced to only comparing the least significant bit of each
418 byte. This allows an attacker to forge messages that would be considered as
419 authenticated in an amount of tries lower than that guaranteed by the
420 security claims of the scheme. The module can only be compiled by the
421 HP-UX assembler, so that only HP-UX PA-RISC targets are affected.
422
423 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 2nd March 2018 by Peter Waltenberg
424 (IBM).
425 (CVE-2018-0733)
426 [Andy Polyakov]
427
428 *) Add a build target 'build_all_generated', to build all generated files
429 and only that. This can be used to prepare everything that requires
430 things like perl for a system that lacks perl and then move everything
431 to that system and do the rest of the build there.
432 [Richard Levitte]
433
434 *) Backport SSL_OP_NO_RENGOTIATION
435
436 OpenSSL 1.0.2 and below had the ability to disable renegotiation using the
437 (undocumented) SSL3_FLAGS_NO_RENEGOTIATE_CIPHERS flag. Due to the opacity
438 changes this is no longer possible in 1.1.0. Therefore the new
439 SSL_OP_NO_RENEGOTIATION option from 1.1.1-dev has been backported to
440 1.1.0 to provide equivalent functionality.
441
442 Note that if an application built against 1.1.0h headers (or above) is run
443 using an older version of 1.1.0 (prior to 1.1.0h) then the option will be
444 accepted but nothing will happen, i.e. renegotiation will not be prevented.
445 [Matt Caswell]
446
447 *) Removed the OS390-Unix config target. It relied on a script that doesn't
448 exist.
449 [Rich Salz]
450
451 *) rsaz_1024_mul_avx2 overflow bug on x86_64
452
453 There is an overflow bug in the AVX2 Montgomery multiplication procedure
454 used in exponentiation with 1024-bit moduli. No EC algorithms are affected.
455 Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA and DSA as a result of this
456 defect would be very difficult to perform and are not believed likely.
457 Attacks against DH1024 are considered just feasible, because most of the
458 work necessary to deduce information about a private key may be performed
459 offline. The amount of resources required for such an attack would be
460 significant. However, for an attack on TLS to be meaningful, the server
461 would have to share the DH1024 private key among multiple clients, which is
462 no longer an option since CVE-2016-0701.
463
464 This only affects processors that support the AVX2 but not ADX extensions
465 like Intel Haswell (4th generation).
466
467 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by David Benjamin (Google). The issue
468 was originally found via the OSS-Fuzz project.
469 (CVE-2017-3738)
470 [Andy Polyakov]
471
472 Changes between 1.1.0f and 1.1.0g [2 Nov 2017]
473
474 *) bn_sqrx8x_internal carry bug on x86_64
475
476 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
477 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
478 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
479 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
480 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
481 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
482 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
483 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
484 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
485 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
486 key that is shared between multiple clients.
487
488 This only affects processors that support the BMI1, BMI2 and ADX extensions
489 like Intel Broadwell (5th generation) and later or AMD Ryzen.
490
491 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
492 (CVE-2017-3736)
493 [Andy Polyakov]
494
495 *) Malformed X.509 IPAddressFamily could cause OOB read
496
497 If an X.509 certificate has a malformed IPAddressFamily extension,
498 OpenSSL could do a one-byte buffer overread. The most likely result
499 would be an erroneous display of the certificate in text format.
500
501 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
502 (CVE-2017-3735)
503 [Rich Salz]
504
505 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.0f [25 May 2017]
506
507 *) Have 'config' recognise 64-bit mingw and choose 'mingw64' as the target
508 platform rather than 'mingw'.
509 [Richard Levitte]
510
511 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
512 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
513 which is the minimum version we support.
514 [Richard Levitte]
515
516 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]

518 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
519
520 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
521 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
522 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
523 and servers are affected.
524
525 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).

529 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
530
531 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
532
533 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
534 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
535 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
536
537 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
538 (CVE-2017-3731)
539 [Andy Polyakov]
540
541 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
542
543 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
544 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
545 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
546 of Service attack.
547
548 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
549 (CVE-2017-3730)
550 [Matt Caswell]
551
552 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
553
554 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
555 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
556 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
557 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
558 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
559 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
560 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
561 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
562 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
563 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
564 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
565 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
566 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
567
568 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
569 (CVE-2017-3732)
570 [Andy Polyakov]
571
572 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
573
574 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
575
576 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
577 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
578 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
579
580 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
581 (CVE-2016-7054)
582 [Richard Levitte]
583
584 *) CMS Null dereference
585
586 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
587 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
588 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
589 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
590 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
591 affected.
592
593 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
594 (CVE-2016-7053)
595 [Stephen Henson]
596
597 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
598
599 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
600 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
601 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
602 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
603 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
604 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
605 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
606 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
607 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
608 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
609 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
610 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
611 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
612 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
613
614 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
615 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
616 providing reproducible case.
617 (CVE-2016-7055)
618 [Andy Polyakov]
619
620 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
621 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
622 [Richard Levitte]
623
624 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
625
626 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
627
628 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
629 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
630 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
631 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
632 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
633 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
634
635 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
636
637 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
638 (CVE-2016-6309)
639 [Matt Caswell]
640
641 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
642
643 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
644
645 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
646 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
647 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
648 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
649 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
650 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
651 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
652
653 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
654 (CVE-2016-6304)
655 [Matt Caswell]
656
657 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
658
659 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
660 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
661 Denial Of Service attack.
662
663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
664 (CVE-2016-6305)
665 [Matt Caswell]
666
667 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
668 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
669
670 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
671 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
672 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
673 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
674 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
675 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
676 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
677 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
678 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
679 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
680 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
681 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed connection in a timely
682 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
683 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
684 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
685
686 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
687 that the connection fails
688 or
689 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
690 very little free memory
691 or
692 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
693 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
694 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
695 memory to service the multiple requests.
696
697 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
698 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
699 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
700 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
701 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
702
703 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
704 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
705 [Matt Caswell]
706
707 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
708 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
709 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
710 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
711 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
712 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
713 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
714 [Andy Polyakov]
715
716 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
717
718 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
719 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
720 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
721 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
722 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
723 non-ASCII password.
724 [Andy Polyakov]
725
726 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
727 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
728 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
729 [Rich Salz]
730
731 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
732 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
733 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
734 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
735 [Matt Caswell]
736
737 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
738 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
739 success.
740 [Matt Caswell]
741
742 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
743 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
744 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
745 no-ops and deprecated.
746 [Matt Caswell]
747
748 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
749 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
750 were also closed.
751 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
752
753 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
754 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
755 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
756 [Rich Salz]
757
758 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
759 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
760 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
761 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
762 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
763 and the validity of object reference counter.
764 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
765
766 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
767 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
768 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
769 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
770 [Richard Levitte]
771
772 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
773 [Richard Levitte]
774
775 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
776 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
777 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
778 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
779
780 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
781
782 [Richard Levitte]
783
784 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
785 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
786 [Steve Henson]
787
788 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
789 [Andy Polyakov]
790
791 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
792 [Rich Salz]
793
794 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
795 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
796 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
797 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
798 name and is used as is.
799 [Richard Levitte]
800
801 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
802 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
803 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
804 [Rich Salz]
805
806 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
807 the "no-shared" Configure option.
808 [Matt Caswell]
809
810 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
811 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
812 algorithms.
813 [Matt Caswell]
814
815 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
816 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
817 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
818 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
819 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
820 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
821 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
822 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
823 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
824 [Matt Caswell]
825
826 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
827 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
828 enabled with '--debug' builds.
829 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
830
831 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
832 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
833 these have been added.
834 [Matt Caswell]
835
836 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
837 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
838 functions for managing these have been added.
839 [Richard Levitte]
840
841 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
842 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
843 these have been added.
844 [Matt Caswell]
845
846 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
847 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
848 have been added.
849 [Matt Caswell]
850
851 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
852 [Matt Caswell]
853
854 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
855 [Richard Levitte]
856
857 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
858 it is always safe to #include a header now.
859 [Rich Salz]
860
861 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
862 [Richard Levitte]
863
864 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
865 [Rich Salz]
866
867 *) Add support for HKDF.
868 [Alessandro Ghedini]
869
870 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
871 [Bill Cox]
872
873 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
874 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
875 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
876 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
877 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
878 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
879 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
880 [Matt Caswell]
881
882 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
883 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
884 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
885 [Catriona Lucey]
886
887 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
888 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
889 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
890 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
891 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
892 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
893 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
894
895 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
896 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
897 [Todd Short]
898
899 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
900 [Todd Short]
901
902 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
903 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
904 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
905 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
906 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
907 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
908 default cipherlist.
909 [Emilia Käsper]
910
911 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
912 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
913 [Rich Salz]
914
915 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
916 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
917 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
918 [Matt Caswell]
919
920 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
921 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
922 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
923 implemented by other servers.
924 [Emilia Käsper]
925
926 *) Add X25519 support.
927 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
928 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
929 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The corresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
930 key generation and key derivation.
931
932 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
933 X25519(29).
934 [Steve Henson]
935
936 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
937 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
938 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
939 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
940 seed, even if the seed is configured.
941
942 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
943 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
944 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
945 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
946 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
947 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
948 that of a valid user.
949 [Emilia Käsper]
950
951 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
952 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
953 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
954 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
955
956 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
957 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
958
959 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
960 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
961 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
962 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
963
964 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
965 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
966 irrelevant.
967 [Richard Levitte]
968
969 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
970 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
971 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
972 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
973 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
974 of how OpenSSL was configured.
975
976 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
977 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
978 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
979 [Richard Levitte]
980
981 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
982 [Rich Salz]
983
984 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
985 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
986 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
987 removed.
988 [Richard Levitte]
989
990 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
991 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
992 old #define's might need to be updated.
993 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
994
995 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
996 [Rich Salz]
997
998 *) New "unified" build system
999
1000 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
1001 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
1002
1003 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
1004 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
1005 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
1006
1007 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
1008 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
1009 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
1010 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
1011 descrip.mms.tmpl.
1012
1013 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
1014 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
1015 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
1016 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
1017 libraries" in INSTALL.
1018
1019 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
1020 [Richard Levitte]
1021
1022 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
1023 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
1024 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
1025 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
1026 [Matt Caswell]
1027
1028 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
1029 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
1030
1031 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
1032 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
1033 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
1034 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
1035 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
1036 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
1037 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
1038 have been adapted accordingly.
1039 [Richard Levitte]
1040
1041 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
1042 the leading 0-byte.
1043 [Emilia Käsper]
1044
1045 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
1046 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
1047 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
1048 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
1049 [Emilia Käsper]
1050
1051 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
1052 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
1053 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
1054 'unsigned char*'.
1055 [Emilia Käsper]
1056
1057 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
1058 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
1059 [Emilia Käsper]
1060
1061 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
1062 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
1063 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
1064 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
1065 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
1066 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
1067 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
1068
1069 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
1070 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
1071
1072 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
1073 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
1074 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
1075 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
1076 Text::Template.
1077
1078 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
1079 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
1080 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
1081 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
1082 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
1083 %target).
1084 [Richard Levitte]
1085
1086 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
1087 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
1088 straightforward and less interdependent.
1089
1090 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
1091 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
1092 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
1093
1094 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
1095 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
1096 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
1097 installed.
1098 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
1099 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
1100 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
1101 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
1102
1103 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
1104 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
1105 [Richard Levitte]
1106
1107 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
1108 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
1109 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
1110 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
1111 is present).
1112 [Matt Caswell]
1113
1114 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
1115 configuring.
1116 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
1117
1118 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
1119 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
1120 before trying to build now.*
1121 [Rich Salz]
1122
1123 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
1124 has changed.
1125 [Rich Salz]
1126
1127 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
1128
1129 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
1130 the application's responsibility. The application provides
1131 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
1132 used to authenticate the peer.
1133
1134 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
1135 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
1136 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
1137 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
1138 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
1139 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1140
1141 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
1142 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
1143 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
1144 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
1145 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
1146 or the 1.1.0 releases.
1147
1148 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
1149 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
1150 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
1151 support for the deprecated features from the library and
1152 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
1153 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
1154 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
1155 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
1156 version.
1157
1158 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
1159 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
1160 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
1161 compile with later releases.
1162
1163 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
1164 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
1165 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
1166 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
1167 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
1168 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1169
1170 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
1171 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
1172 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
1173 MaxProtocol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
1174 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
1175 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
1176 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
1177 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
1178 [Kurt Roeckx]
1179
1180 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
1181 [Andy Polyakov]
1182
1183 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
1184 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
1185 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
1186 ECDSA_SIG format.
1187
1188 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
1189 include the ec.h header file instead.
1190 [Steve Henson]
1191
1192 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
1193 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
1194 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
1195 [Kurt Roeckx]
1196
1197 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
1198 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
1199 were added:
1200
1201 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
1202 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
1203
1204 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
1205 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
1206 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
1207
1208 Additional changes:
1209 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
1210 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
1211 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
1212 an already created structure.
1213 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
1214 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
1215 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
1216 for deprecated builds.
1217 [Richard Levitte]
1218
1219 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
1220 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
1221 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
1222 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
1223 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
1224 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
1225 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
1226 [Matt Caswell]
1227
1228 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
1229 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
1230 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
1231 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
1232 [Kurt Roeckx]
1233
1234 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
1235 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
1236 [Kurt Roeckx]
1237
1238 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
1239 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
1240 [Kurt Roeckx]
1241
1242 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
1243 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
1244 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
1245 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
1246 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
1247 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
1248 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
1249 also been removed.
1250 [Matt Caswell]
1251
1252 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
1253 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
1254 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
1255 [Rich Salz]
1256
1257 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
1258 [Rich Salz]
1259
1260 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
1261 sureware and ubsec.
1262 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
1263
1264 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
1265
1266 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
1267 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
1268
1269 FOO *x;
1270
1271 it must be:
1272
1273 FOO x;
1274
1275 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
1276 set a mandatory field to NULL.
1277
1278 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
1279 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
1280 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
1281 SEQUENCE OF.
1282 [Steve Henson]
1283
1284 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
1285 [Emilia Käsper]
1286
1287 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
1288 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
1289 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
1290 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
1291 [Matt Caswell]
1292
1293 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1294 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1295 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1296 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1297 [Emilia Käsper]
1298
1299 *) Fix no-stdio build.
1300 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
1301 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
1302
1303 *) New testing framework
1304 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
1305 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
1306 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
1307 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
1308 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
1309 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
1310
1311 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
1312
1313 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
1314 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
1315
1316 [Richard Levitte]
1317
1318 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
1319 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
1320 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
1321 and others were changed. All are now documented.
1322 [Rich Salz]
1323
1324 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1325 return an error
1326 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1327
1328 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
1329 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
1330
1331 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
1332 original RSA_PSK patch.
1333 [Steve Henson]
1334
1335 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
1336 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
1337 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
1338 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
1339 [Matt Caswell]
1340
1341 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
1342 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
1343 [Richard Levitte]
1344
1345 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
1346 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
1347 hasn't been working properly for a while.
1348 [Emilia Käsper]
1349
1350 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
1351 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
1352 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
1353 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
1354 transferred.
1355 [Matt Caswell]
1356
1357 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
1358 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
1359 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
1360 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
1361 [Matt Caswell]
1362
1363 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
1364 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
1365 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
1366 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
1367 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
1368 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
1369 [Matt Caswell]
1370
1371 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
1372 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
1373 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
1374 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
1375 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
1376 header file has been removed.
1377 [Matt Caswell]
1378
1379 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
1380 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
1381 [Matt Caswell]
1382
1383 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
1384 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
1385 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
1386
1387 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
1388 Added a test.
1389 [Rich Salz]
1390
1391 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
1392 [Rich Salz]
1393
1394 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
1395 sha256
1396 [Rich Salz]
1397
1398 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
1399 [Matt Caswell]
1400
1401 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
1402 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
1403 initial patch which was a great help during development.
1404 [Steve Henson]
1405
1406 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
1407 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
1408 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
1409 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
1410 [Matt Caswell]
1411
1412 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
1413 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
1414 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
1415 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
1416 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
1417 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
1418 [Matt Caswell]
1419
1420 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
1421 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
1422 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
1423 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
1424 [Matt Caswell]
1425
1426 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
1427 compatible client hello.
1428 [Kurt Roeckx]
1429
1430 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
1431 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
1432 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
1433
1434 *) CA.sh has been removed; use CA.pl instead.
1435 [Rich Salz]
1436
1437 *) Removed old DES API.
1438 [Rich Salz]
1439
1440 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
1441 Sony NEWS4
1442 BEOS and BEOS_R5
1443 NeXT
1444 SUNOS
1445 MPE/iX
1446 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
1447 DGUX
1448 NCR
1449 Tandem
1450 Cray
1451 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
1452 [Rich Salz]
1453
1454 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
1455 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
1456 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
1457 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
1458 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
1459 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
1460 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
1461 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
1462 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
1463 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
1464 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
1465 [Rich Salz]
1466
1467 *) Cleaned up dead code
1468 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
1469 [Rich Salz]
1470
1471 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1472 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1473 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1474 [Rich Salz]
1475
1476 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1477 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1478 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1479 [Rich Salz]
1480
1481 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1482 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1483 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1484
1485 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1486 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1487 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1488
1489 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1490 compilation flags.
1491 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1492
1493 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1494 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1495 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1496
1497 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1498 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1499
1500 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1501 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1502 server.
1503
1504 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1505 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1506 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1507 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1508
1509 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1510 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1511 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1512 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1513
1514 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1515 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1516 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1517
1518 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1519 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1520 [Steve Henson]
1521
1522 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1523
1524 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1525 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1526
1527 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1528 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1529
1530 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1531 effect.
1532
1533 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1534
1535 [Steve Henson]
1536
1537 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1538 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1539 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1540 algorithms and include tests cases.
1541 [Steve Henson]
1542
1543 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1544 enveloped data.
1545 [Steve Henson]
1546
1547 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1548 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1549 [Steve Henson]
1550
1551 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1552 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1553
1554 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1555 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1556 [Steve Henson]
1557
1558 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1559 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1560 failures.
1561 [Steve Henson]
1562
1563 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1564 sign or verify all in one operation.
1565 [Steve Henson]
1566
1567 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1568 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1569 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1570 [Steve Henson]
1571
1572 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1573 [Steve Henson]
1574
1575 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1576 [Steve Henson]
1577
1578 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1579 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1580 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1581 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1582 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1583 [Steve Henson]
1584
1585 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1586 based on NID.
1587 [Steve Henson]
1588
1589 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1590 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1591 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1592 [Steve Henson]
1593
1594 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1595 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1596
1597 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1598 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1599 [Steve Henson]
1600
1601 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1602 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1603 [Steve Henson]
1604
1605 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1606 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1607 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1608 [Steve Henson]
1609
1610 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1611 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1612 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1613 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1614 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1615 requested amount of entropy.
1616 [Steve Henson]
1617
1618 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1619 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1620 [Steve Henson]
1621
1622 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1623 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1624 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1625 support.
1626 [Steve Henson]
1627
1628 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1629 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1630 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1631 [Steve Henson]
1632
1633 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1634 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1635 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1636 will never use XTS mode.
1637 [Steve Henson]
1638
1639 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1640 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1641 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1642 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1643 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1644 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1645 [Steve Henson]
1646
1647 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1648 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1649 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1650 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1651 [Steve Henson]
1652
1653 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1654 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1655 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1656 [Steve Henson]
1657
1658 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1659 [Steve Henson]
1660
1661 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1662 [Steve Henson]
1663
1664 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1665 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1669 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1670 [Steve Henson]
1671
1672 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1673 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1674 [Steve Henson]
1675
1676 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1677 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1678 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1679 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1680 and rename any affected symbols.
1681 [Steve Henson]
1682
1683 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1684 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1685 [Steve Henson]
1686
1687 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1688 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1689 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1696 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1697 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1698 [Steve Henson]
1699
1700 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1701 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1702 [Steve Henson]
1703
1704 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1705 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1706 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1707 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1708 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1709 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1710 set before the key.
1711 [Steve Henson]
1712
1713 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1714 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1715 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1716 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1717 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1718 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1719 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1720 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1724 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1725 [Steve Henson]
1726
1727 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1728
1729 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1730 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1731
1732 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1733 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1734 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1735 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1736 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1737 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1738
1739 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1740 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1741 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1742 security.
1743 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1744
1745 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1746 parameters by name.
1747 [Steve Henson]
1748
1749 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1750 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1751 [Steve Henson]
1752
1753 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1754 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1755 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1759 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1760 multi-process servers.
1761 [Steve Henson]
1762
1763 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1764 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1765 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1766 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1767 RAND_METHOD structure.
1768 [Steve Henson]
1769
1770 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1771 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1772 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1773 whose return value is often ignored.
1774 [Steve Henson]
1775
1776 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1777 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1778 validated when establishing a connection.
1779 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1780
1781 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1782
1783 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1784
1785 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1786 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1787 AES-NI.
1788
1789 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1790 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1791 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1792 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1793 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1794 bytes.
1795
1796 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1797 (CVE-2016-2107)
1798 [Kurt Roeckx]
1799
1800 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1801
1802 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1803 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1804 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1805 corruption.
1806
1807 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1808 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1809 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1810 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1811 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1812 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1813
1814 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1815 (CVE-2016-2105)
1816 [Matt Caswell]
1817
1818 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1819
1820 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1821 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1822 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1823 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1824 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1825 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1826 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1827 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1828 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1829 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1830 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1831 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1832 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1833 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1834 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1835 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1836
1837 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1838 (CVE-2016-2106)
1839 [Matt Caswell]
1840
1841 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1842
1843 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1844 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1845 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1846
1847 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1848 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1849 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1850 applications are not affected.
1851
1852 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1853 (CVE-2016-2109)
1854 [Stephen Henson]
1855
1856 *) EBCDIC overread
1857
1858 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1859 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1860 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1861
1862 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1863 (CVE-2016-2176)
1864 [Matt Caswell]
1865
1866 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1867 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1868 [Todd Short]
1869
1870 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1871 default.
1872 [Kurt Roeckx]
1873
1874 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1875 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1876 [Kurt Roeckx]
1877
1878 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1879
1880 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1881 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1882 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1883 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1884
1885 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1886 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1887 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1888 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1889 will need to explicitly call either of:
1890
1891 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1892 or
1893 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1894
1895 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1896 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1897 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1898 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1899 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1900 (CVE-2016-0800)
1901 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1902
1903 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1904
1905 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1906 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1907 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1908 considered rare.
1909
1910 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1911 libFuzzer.
1912 (CVE-2016-0705)
1913 [Stephen Henson]
1914
1915 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1916
1917 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1918
1919 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1920 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1921 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1922 is configured.
1923
1924 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1925 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1926 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1927 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1928 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1929 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1930 that of a valid user.
1931 (CVE-2016-0798)
1932 [Emilia Käsper]
1933
1934 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1935
1936 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1937 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1938 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1939 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1940 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1941 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1942 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1943 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1944 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1945 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1946 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1947
1948 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1949 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1950 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1951 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1952 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1953
1954 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1955 (CVE-2016-0797)
1956 [Matt Caswell]
1957
1958 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1959
1960 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1961 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1962 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1963
1964 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1965 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1966 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1967 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1968 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1969 also occur.
1970
1971 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1972 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1973 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1974 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1975 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1976 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1977 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1978 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1979 as command line arguments.
1980
1981 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1982 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1983 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1984
1985 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1986 (CVE-2016-0799)
1987 [Matt Caswell]
1988
1989 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1990
1991 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1992 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1993 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1994 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1995 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1996
1997 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1998 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1999 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
2000 http://cachebleed.info.
2001 (CVE-2016-0702)
2002 [Andy Polyakov]
2003
2004 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
2005 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
2006 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
2007 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

2010 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
2011 *) DH small subgroups
2012
2013 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
2014 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
2015 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
2016 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
2017 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
2018 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
2019 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
2020 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
2021 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
2022 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
2023
2024 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
2025 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
2026 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
2027 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
2028 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
2029
2030 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
2031 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
2032 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
2033 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
2034
2035 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
2036 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
2037
2038 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
2039 (CVE-2016-0701)
2040 [Matt Caswell]
2041
2042 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
2043
2044 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
2045 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
2046 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
2047 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
2048
2049 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
2050 and Sebastian Schinzel.

2054 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
2055
2056 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
2057
2058 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
2059 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
2060 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
2061 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
2062 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
2063 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
2064 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
2065 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
2066 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
2067 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
2068 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
2069 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

2071 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
2072 (CVE-2015-3193)
2073 [Andy Polyakov]
2074
2075 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
2076
2077 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2078 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2079 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
2080 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
2081 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
2082 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
2083 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
2084 authentication.
2085
2086 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
2087 (CVE-2015-3194)
2088 [Stephen Henson]
2089
2090 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
2091
2092 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
2093 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
2094 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
2095 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
2096
2097 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
2098 libFuzzer.
2099 (CVE-2015-3195)
2100 [Stephen Henson]
2101
2102 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
2103 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
2104 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
2105 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
2106 [Emilia Käsper]

2111
2112 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
2113
2114 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
2115
2116 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
2117 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
2118 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
2119 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
2120 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
2121 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
2122
2123 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
2124 (Google/BoringSSL).
2125 [Matt Caswell]
2126
2127 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
2128
2129 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
2130 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
2131 restored.
2132 [Matt Caswell]
2133
2134 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
2135
2136 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
2137
2138 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
2139 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
2140 field.
2141
2142 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
2143 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
2144 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
2145 client authentication enabled.
2146
2147 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
2148 (CVE-2015-1788)
2149 [Andy Polyakov]
2150
2151 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
2152
2153 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
2154 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
2155 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
2156 time string.
2157
2158 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
2159 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
2160 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
2161 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
2162 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
2163 callbacks.
2164
2165 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
2166 independently by Hanno Böck.
2167 (CVE-2015-1789)
2168 [Emilia Käsper]
2169
2170 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
2171
2172 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
2173 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
2174 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2175
2176 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
2177 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
2178 servers are not affected.
2179
2180 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2181 (CVE-2015-1790)
2182 [Emilia Käsper]
2183
2184 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
2185
2186 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
2187 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
2188 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
2189 the CMS code.
2190 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
2191 (CVE-2015-1792)
2192 [Stephen Henson]
2193
2194 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
2195
2196 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
2197 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
2198 a double free of the ticket data.
2199 (CVE-2015-1791)
2200 [Matt Caswell]
2201
2202 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the

2204 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
2205 [Emilia Kasper]
2206
2207 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
2208
2209 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
2210
2211 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
2212 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
2213 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
2214
2215 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
2216 University.
2217 (CVE-2015-0291)
2218 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
2219
2220 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
2221
2222 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
2223 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
2224 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
2225 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
2226 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
2227 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
2228 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
2229 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
2230
2231 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
2232 (CVE-2015-0290)
2233 [Matt Caswell]
2234
2235 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
2236
2237 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
2238 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
2239 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
2240 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
2241 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
2242 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
2243 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
2244 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
2245 server.
2246
2247 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
2248 (CVE-2015-0207)
2249 [Matt Caswell]
2250
2251 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
2252
2253 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
2254 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
2255 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
2256 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2257 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2258 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2259 (CVE-2015-0286)
2260 [Stephen Henson]
2261
2262 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
2263
2264 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
2265 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
2266 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
2267 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
2268 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
2269 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
2270 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
2271
2272 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
2273 (CVE-2015-0208)
2274 [Stephen Henson]
2275
2276 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
2277
2278 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
2279 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
2280 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
2281
2282 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
2283 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
2284 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
2285 not affected.
2286 (CVE-2015-0287)
2287 [Stephen Henson]
2288
2289 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
2290
2291 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
2292 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
2293 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
2294
2295 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
2296 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
2297 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
2298
2299 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
2300 (CVE-2015-0289)
2301 [Emilia Käsper]
2302
2303 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
2304
2305 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
2306 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
2307 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
2308
2309 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
2310 (OpenSSL development team).
2311 (CVE-2015-0293)
2312 [Emilia Käsper]
2313
2314 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
2315
2316 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
2317 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
2318 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
2319 (CVE-2015-1787)
2320 [Matt Caswell]
2321
2322 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
2323
2324 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
2325 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
2326 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
2327 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
2328 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
2329 SSL_client_methodv23)
2330 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
2331 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
2332
2333 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
2334 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
2335 output may be predictable.
2336
2337 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
2338 succeed on an unpatched platform:
2339
2340 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
2341 (CVE-2015-0285)
2342 [Matt Caswell]
2343
2344 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
2345
2346 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
2347 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
2348 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
2349 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
2350 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
2351 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
2352
2353 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
2354 commit 517073cd4b.
2355 (CVE-2015-0209)
2356 [Matt Caswell]
2357
2358 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
2359
2360 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
2361 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
2362
2363 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
2364 (CVE-2015-0288)
2365 [Stephen Henson]
2366
2367 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
2368 [Kurt Roeckx]
2369
2370 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
2371
2372 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
2373 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
2374 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
2375 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
2376 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
2377 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
2378 [Andy Polyakov]
2379
2380 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
2381 (other platforms pending).
2382 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
2383
2384 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
2385 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
2386 [Rob Stradling]
2387
2388 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2389 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2390 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2391 [Bodo Moeller]
2392
2393 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
2394 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
2395 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
2396 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
2397 [Andy Polyakov]
2398
2399 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
2400 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
2401
2402 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
2403 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
2404 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
2405 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
2406 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
2407
2408 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
2409 [Andy Polyakov]
2410
2411 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
2412 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
2413 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
2414 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
2415
2416 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
2417 RSAZ.
2418 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
2419
2420 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
2421 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
2422 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
2423 for TLS encrypt.
2424
2425 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
2426 [Andy Polyakov]
2427
2428 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
2429 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
2430 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
2431 [Steve Henson]
2432
2433 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
2434 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
2438 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
2439 [Steve Henson]
2440
2441 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
2442 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
2443 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
2444 algorithms and include tests cases.
2445 [Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
2448 structure.
2449 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
2450
2451 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
2452 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
2453 [Steve Henson]
2454
2455 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
2456 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
2457 summary of the connection parameters.
2458 [Steve Henson]
2459
2460 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
2461 of connection parameters.
2462 [Steve Henson]
2463
2464 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
2465 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
2466
2467 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
2468 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
2469 [Steve Henson]
2470
2471 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2472 [Steve Henson]
2473
2474 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2475 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2476 [Steve Henson]
2477
2478 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2479 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2480 [Steve Henson]
2481
2482 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2483 certificates.
2484 [Steve Henson]
2485
2486 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2487 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2488 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2489 [Steve Henson]
2490
2491 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2492 [Steve Henson]
2493
2494 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2495 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2496 [Steve Henson]
2497
2498 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2499 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2500 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2501 tracing.
2502 [Steve Henson]
2503
2504 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2505 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2506 [Steve Henson]
2507
2508 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2509 OID NID.
2510 [Steve Henson]
2511
2512 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2513 client to OpenSSL.
2514 [Steve Henson]
2515
2516 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2517 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2518 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2519 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2520 [Steve Henson]
2521
2522 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2523 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2524 [Steve Henson]
2525
2526 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2527 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2528 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2529 comparison.
2530 [Steve Henson]
2531
2532 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2533 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2534 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2535 use the certificate.
2536 [Steve Henson]
2537
2538 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2539 [Steve Henson]
2540
2541 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2542 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2543 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2544 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2545 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2546 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2547 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2548
2549 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2550 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2551
2552 [Steve Henson]
2553
2554 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2555 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2556 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2557 [Steve Henson]
2558
2559 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2560 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2561 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2562 supported signature algorithms.
2563 [Steve Henson]
2564
2565 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2566 [Steve Henson]
2567
2568 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2569 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2570 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2571 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2572 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2573 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2574 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2575 [Steve Henson]
2576
2577 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2578 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2579 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2580 to have similar checks in it.
2581
2582 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2583 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2584 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2585 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2586 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2587 [Steve Henson]
2588
2589 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2590 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2591 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2592 shared signature algorithms.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2596 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2597 to support them.
2598 [Steve Henson]
2599
2600 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2601 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2602 it couldn't be removed.
2603 [Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2606 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2607 [Steve Henson]
2608
2609 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2610 functions. Add manual page.
2611 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2612
2613 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2614 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2615 a certificate.
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2619 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2620
2621 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2622 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2623 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2624 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2625 utility) or reject.
2626 [Steve Henson]
2627
2628 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2629 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2630 [Steve Henson]
2631
2632 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2633 platform support for Linux and Android.
2634 [Andy Polyakov]
2635
2636 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2637 [Andy Polyakov]
2638
2639 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2640 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2641 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2642 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2643 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2644 [Steve Henson]
2645
2646 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2647 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2648 the new parameter format automatically.
2649 [Steve Henson]
2650
2651 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2652 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2653 [Steve Henson]
2654
2655 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2656 [Steve Henson]
2657
2658 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2659 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2660 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2661 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2662 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2663 [Steve Henson]
2664
2665 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2666 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2667 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2668 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2669 to set list of supported curves.
2670 [Steve Henson]
2671
2672 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2673 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2674 to print out received values.
2675 [Steve Henson]
2676
2677 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2678 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2679 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2680 [Steve Henson]
2681
2682 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2683 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2684 [Steve Henson]
2685
2686 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2687 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2688 [Steve Henson]
2689
2690 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2691 certificates.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2695 the certificate.
2696 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2697 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2698 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2699
2700 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2701
2702 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2703 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2704
2705 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2706
2707 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2708 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2709 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2710 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2711 (CVE-2014-3571)
2712 [Steve Henson]
2713
2714 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2715 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2716 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2717 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2718 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2719 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2720 (CVE-2015-0206)
2721 [Matt Caswell]
2722
2723 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2724 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2725 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2726 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2727 (CVE-2014-3569)
2728 [Kurt Roeckx]
2729
2730 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2731 ECDH ciphersuites.
2732
2733 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2734 reporting this issue.
2735 (CVE-2014-3572)
2736 [Steve Henson]
2737
2738 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2739 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2740 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2741 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2742 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2743 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2744 (CVE-2015-0204)
2745 [Steve Henson]
2746
2747 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2748 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2749 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2750 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2751 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2752 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2753 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2754 this issue.
2755 (CVE-2015-0205)
2756 [Steve Henson]
2757
2758 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2759 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2760
2761 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2762 and can vary with the CTX.
2763 [Adam Langley]
2764
2765 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2766
2767 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2768 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2769 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2770 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2771 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2772
2773 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2774
2775 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2776 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2777
2778 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2779
2780 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2781 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2782 errors for some broken certificates.
2783
2784 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2785
2786 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2787
2788 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2789 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2790
2791 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2792 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2793 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2794 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2795
2796 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2797 of the OpenSSL core team.
2798
2799 (CVE-2014-8275)
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2803 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2804 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2805 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2806 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2807 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2808 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2809 the OpenSSL core team.
2810 (CVE-2014-3570)
2811 [Andy Polyakov]
2812
2813 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2814 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2815 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2816 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2817 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2818
2819 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2820 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2821 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2822 [Emilia Käsper]
2823
2824 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2825 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2826 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2827 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2828 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2829
2830 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2831 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2832 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2833 [Emilia Käsper]
2834
2835 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2836
2837 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2838
2839 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2840 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2841 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2842 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2843 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2844 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2845 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2846
2847 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2848 (CVE-2014-3513)
2849 [OpenSSL team]
2850
2851 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2852
2853 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2854 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2855 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2856 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2857 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2858 attack.
2859 (CVE-2014-3567)
2860 [Steve Henson]
2861
2862 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2863
2864 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2865 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2866 configured to send them.
2867 (CVE-2014-3568)
2868 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2869
2870 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2871 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2872 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2873 (CVE-2014-3566)
2874 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2875
2876 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2877
2878 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2879 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2880 DigestInfo structures.
2881
2882 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2883
2884 [Steve Henson]
2885
2886 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2887
2888 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2889 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2890 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2891
2892 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2893 Group for discovering this issue.
2894 (CVE-2014-3512)
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2898 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2899 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2900 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2901 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2902
2903 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2904 researching this issue.
2905 (CVE-2014-3511)
2906 [David Benjamin]
2907
2908 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2909 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2910 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2911 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2912
2913 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2914 issue.
2915 (CVE-2014-3510)
2916 [Emilia Käsper]
2917
2918 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2919 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2920 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2921 (CVE-2014-3507)
2922 [Adam Langley]
2923
2924 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2925 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2926 Denial of Service attack.
2927 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2928 (CVE-2014-3506)
2929 [Adam Langley]
2930
2931 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2932 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2933 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2934 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2935 this issue.
2936 (CVE-2014-3505)
2937 [Adam Langley]
2938
2939 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2940 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2941 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2942
2943 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2944 issue.
2945 (CVE-2014-3509)
2946 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2947
2948 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2949 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2950 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2951 Denial of Service attack.
2952
2953 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2954 discovering and researching this issue.
2955 (CVE-2014-5139)
2956 [Steve Henson]
2957
2958 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2959 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2960 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2961 output to the attacker.
2962
2963 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2964 (CVE-2014-3508)
2965 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2966
2967 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2968 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2969 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2970 [Bodo Moeller]
2971
2972 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2973
2974 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2975 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2976 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2977
2978 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2979 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2980 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2981
2982 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2983 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2984 in a DoS attack.
2985
2986 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2987 (CVE-2014-0221)
2988 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2989
2990 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2991 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2992 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2993 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2994
2995 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2996 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2999 are subject to a denial of service attack.
3000
3001 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
3002 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
3003 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
3004
3005 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
3006 compilation flags.
3007 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3008
3009 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
3010 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
3011 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3012
3013 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
3014 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
3015
3016 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
3017
3018 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
3019 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
3020 server.
3021
3022 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
3023 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
3024 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
3025 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
3026
3027 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
3028 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
3029 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
3030 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
3031
3032 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
3033 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
3034 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
3035
3036 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
3037
3038 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
3039 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
3040 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
3041 is at least 512 bytes long.
3042
3043 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
3044
3045 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
3046
3047 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
3048 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
3049 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
3050 (CVE-2013-4353)
3051
3052 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
3053 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
3054 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
3055 [Steve Henson]
3056
3057 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
3058 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
3059 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
3060 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
3061 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
3062 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
3063 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
3064
3065 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
3066
3067 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
3068 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
3069 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3070
3071 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
3072
3073 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
3074
3075 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
3076 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
3077 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
3078
3079 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3080 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3081 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
3082 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
3083 (CVE-2013-0169)
3084 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3085
3086 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
3087 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
3088 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
3089 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
3090 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
3091 (CVE-2012-2686)
3092 [Adam Langley]
3093
3094 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
3095 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
3096 [Steve Henson]
3097
3098 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
3099 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3100
3101 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
3102 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
3103 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
3104 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
3105 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
3106
3107 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
3111 if renegotiating.
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
3115
3116 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
3117 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
3118
3119 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
3120 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
3121 (CVE-2012-2333)
3122 [Steve Henson]
3123
3124 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
3125 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
3126 [Steve Henson]
3127
3128 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
3129 approved.
3130 [Steve Henson]
3131
3132 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
3133
3134 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
3135 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
3136 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
3137 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disabling
3138 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
3139 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
3140 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
3141 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
3142 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
3143 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
3144 [Steve Henson]
3145
3146 *) In order to ensure interoperability SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
3147 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
3148 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
3149 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
3150 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
3151 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
3152 client side.
3153 [Andy Polyakov]
3154
3155 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
3156
3157 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
3158 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
3159 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
3160
3161 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
3162 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
3163 (CVE-2012-2110)
3164 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
3165
3166 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
3167 [Adam Langley]
3168
3169 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
3170 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
3171
3172 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
3173 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
3174 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
3175 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
3176 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
3177 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
3178 Most broken servers should now work.
3179 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
3180 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
3184 [Andy Polyakov]
3185
3186 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
3187
3188 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
3189 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
3190 [Steve Henson]
3191
3192 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
3193 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
3194 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
3195 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
3196 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
3197 [Steve Henson]
3198
3199 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
3200 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
3201 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
3202 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
3203 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
3204 [Steve Henson]
3205
3206 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
3207 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3208
3209 *) Add support for SCTP.
3210 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3211
3212 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3213 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3214
3215 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
3216
3217 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
3218 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
3219 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
3220 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
3221 - s390x: z196 support;
3222 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
3223
3224 [Andy Polyakov]
3225
3226 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
3227 (removal of unnecessary code)
3228 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
3229
3230 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
3231 [Eric Rescorla]
3232
3233 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
3234 [Eric Rescorla]
3235
3236 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
3237 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
3238 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
3239 by Google.
3240 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
3241
3242 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
3243 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
3244 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
3245 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
3246 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
3247
3248 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
3249 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
3250 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
3251
3252 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
3253 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
3254 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
3255
3256 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
3257 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
3258 implementations).
3259 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3260
3261 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
3262 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
3263 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
3264 [Steve Henson]
3265
3266 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
3267 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
3268 particular PSS.
3269 [Steve Henson]
3270
3271 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
3272 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
3273 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
3274 [Steve Henson]
3275
3276 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
3277 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
3278 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
3279 the appropriate parameters.
3280 [Steve Henson]
3281
3282 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
3283 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
3284 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
3285 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
3286 against a number of sample certificates.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
3290 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
3291
3292 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
3293 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
3294
3295 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
3296 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
3297 parameters r, s.
3298 [Steve Henson]
3299
3300 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
3301 RFC3211.
3302 [Steve Henson]
3303
3304 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
3305 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
3306 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
3307 password based CMS).
3308 [Steve Henson]
3309
3310 *) Session-handling fixes:
3311 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
3312 but also support Session Tickets.
3313 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
3314 presented a ticket with an expired session.
3315 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
3316 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
3317 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
3318 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3319
3320 *) Fix PSK session representation.
3321 [Bodo Moeller]
3322
3323 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
3324
3325 This work was sponsored by Intel.
3326 [Andy Polyakov]
3327
3328 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
3329 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
3330 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
3331 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
3332 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
3333 [Steve Henson]
3334
3335 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
3336 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
3340 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
3341 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
3342 [Steve Henson]
3343
3344 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
3345 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
3346 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
3347 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
3348 [Steve Henson]
3349
3350 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
3351 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
3352 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
3353 [Steve Henson]
3354
3355 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
3356 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
3357
3358 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
3359 [Steve Henson]
3360
3361 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
3362 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
3363 [Steve Henson]
3364
3365 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
3369 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
3373 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
3374 [Steve Henson]
3375
3376 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
3377 [Steve Henson]
3378
3379 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
3380 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
3381 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
3382 [Steve Henson]
3383
3384 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3385 [Steve Henson]
3386
3387 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
3388 [Steve Henson]
3389
3390 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
3391 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
3392 [Steve Henson]
3393
3394 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
3395 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
3396 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
3397 [Steve Henson]
3398
3399 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
3400 [Steve Henson]
3401
3402 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
3403 and enable MD5.
3404 [Steve Henson]
3405
3406 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
3407 FIPS modules versions.
3408 [Steve Henson]
3409
3410 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
3411 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
3412 until after the certificate request message is received.
3413 [Steve Henson]
3414
3415 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
3416 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
3417 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
3418 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
3419 [Steve Henson]
3420
3421 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
3422 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
3423 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
3424 support yet and no support for client certificates.
3425 [Steve Henson]
3426
3427 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
3428 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
3429 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
3430 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
3431 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
3432 and version checking.
3433 [Steve Henson]
3434
3435 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
3436 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
3437 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
3438 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
3439 [Steve Henson]
3440
3441 *) A long standing patch to add support for SRP from EdelWeb (Peter
3442 Sylvester and Christophe Renou) was integrated.
3443 [Christophe Renou <christophe.renou@edelweb.fr>, Peter Sylvester
3444 <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>, Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu>, and
3445 Ben Laurie]
3446
3447 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
3448 [Steve Henson]
3449
3450 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
3451 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
3452 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
3453
3454 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
3455 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
3456 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
3460 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
3461
3462 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
3463 a few changes are required:
3464
3465 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
3466 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
3467 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
3468 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
3469 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
3470 [Steve Henson]
3471
3472 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
3473
3474 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3475 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3476 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3477 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3478 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3479 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3480 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3481 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3482 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3483 [Steve Henson]
3484
3485 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3486 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3487 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3488 [Steve Henson]
3489
3490 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3491
3492 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3493 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3494 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3495 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3496 [Antonio Martin]
3497
3498 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3499
3500 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3501 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3502 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3503 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3504 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3505 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3506 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3507 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3508 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3509 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3510 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3511 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3512 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3513
3514 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3515 (CVE-2011-4576)
3516 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3517
3518 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3519 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3520 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3521 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3522
3523 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3524 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3525
3526 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3527 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3528 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3529 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3530
3531 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3532 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3533
3534 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3535 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3536
3537 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3538 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3539
3540 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3541 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3542 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3543
3544 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3545 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3546 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3547
3548 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3549 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3550 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3551 the last update always remained unused).
3552 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3553
3554 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3555 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3556
3557 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3558
3559 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3560 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3561 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3562
3563 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3564 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3565 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3566
3567 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3568 [Bodo Moeller]
3569
3570 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3571 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3572 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3573 [Steve Henson]
3574
3575 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3576 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3577
3578 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3579
3580 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3581
3582 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3583
3584 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3585 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3586
3587 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3588 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3589 ambiguous.
3590 [Steve Henson]
3591
3592 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3593
3594 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3595 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3596 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3600 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3601 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3602 [Ben Laurie]
3603
3604 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3605
3606 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3607 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3608 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3609 [Steve Henson]
3610
3611 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3612 a DLL.
3613 [Steve Henson]
3614
3615 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3616
3617 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3618 (CVE-2010-1633)
3619 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3620
3621 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3622
3623 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3624 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3625 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3626 [Steve Henson]
3627
3628 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3629 [Steve Henson]
3630
3631 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3632 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3633 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3634
3635 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3636 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3637 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3638 [Steve Henson]
3639
3640 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3641 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3642 [Steve Henson]
3643
3644 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3645 some responders need this.
3646 [Steve Henson]
3647
3648 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3649 correctly.
3650 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3651
3652 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3653 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3654 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3655 [Steve Henson]
3656
3657 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3658 [Steve Henson]
3659
3660 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3661 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3662 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3663 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3664 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3665 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3666 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3667 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3668 [Steve Henson]
3669
3670 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3671 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3672 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3673 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3674
3675 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3676 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3677
3678 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3679 be used on C++.
3680 [Steve Henson]
3681
3682 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3683 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3684 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3685 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3686 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3687 attempting to work them out.
3688 [Steve Henson]
3689
3690 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3691 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3692 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3693 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3694 [Steve Henson]
3695
3696 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3697 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3698 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3699 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3700 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3701 [Steve Henson]
3702
3703 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3704 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3705 you can do:
3706
3707 openssl sha256 foo
3708
3709 as well as:
3710
3711 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3712
3713 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3714
3715 [Steve Henson]
3716
3717 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3718 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3719
3720 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3721 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3722
3723 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3724 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3725 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3726 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3727 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3728 [Steve Henson]
3729
3730 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3731 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3732 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3733 [Steve Henson]
3734
3735 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3736 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3737 [Steve Henson]
3738
3739 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3740 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3741
3742 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3743 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3744 [Steve Henson]
3745
3746 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3747 [Ben Laurie]
3748
3749 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3750 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3751 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3752 CONF_VALUE.
3753 [Ben Laurie]
3754
3755 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3756 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3757 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3758 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3759 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3760 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3761 [Steve Henson]
3762
3763 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3764 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3765
3766 This work was sponsored by Google.
3767 [Steve Henson]
3768
3769 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3770 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3771 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3772 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3773 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3774 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3775 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3776 default.
3777
3778 This work was sponsored by Google.
3779 [Steve Henson]
3780
3781 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3782
3783 This work was sponsored by Google.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3787 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3788 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3789 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3790
3791 This work was sponsored by Google.
3792 [Steve Henson]
3793
3794 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3795 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3796 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3797 CRL functionality in future.
3798
3799 This work was sponsored by Google.
3800 [Steve Henson]
3801
3802 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3803
3804 This work was sponsored by Google.
3805 [Steve Henson]
3806
3807 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3808 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3809
3810 This work was sponsored by Google.
3811 [Steve Henson]
3812
3813 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3814 and URI types are currently supported.
3815
3816 This work was sponsored by Google.
3817 [Steve Henson]
3818
3819 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3820 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3821 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3822 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3823 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3824 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3825 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3826 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3827
3828 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3829 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3830 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3831
3832 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3833 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3834 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3835 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3836
3837 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3838 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3839 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3840 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3841 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3842 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3843 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3844 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3845 of &errno.)
3846 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3847
3848 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3849 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3850 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3851
3852 This work was sponsored by Google.
3853 [Steve Henson]
3854
3855 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3856 [Ben Laurie]
3857
3858 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3859 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3860 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3861 [Ben Laurie]
3862
3863 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3864 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3865 [Nick Mathewson]
3866
3867 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3868 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3869 [Ben Laurie]
3870
3871 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3872 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3873 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3874 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3875 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3876 content types and variants.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3880 [Steve Henson]
3881
3882 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3883 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3884 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3885 files from the associated perl scripts.
3886 [Steve Henson]
3887
3888 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3889 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3890 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3891
3892 *) s390x assembler pack.
3893 [Andy Polyakov]
3894
3895 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3896 "family."
3897 [Andy Polyakov]
3898
3899 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3900 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3901 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3902 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3903 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3904 to use. For example, specify an option
3905
3906 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3907
3908 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3909 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3910 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3911 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3912 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3913 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3914
3915 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3916 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3917 an internal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3918 return non-zero for success.
3919
3920 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3921 by using
3922
3923 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3924 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3925
3926 where
3927
3928 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3929 void *arg;
3930
3931 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3932 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3933 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3934 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3935 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3936 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3937 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3938 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3939 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3940
3941 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3942 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3943 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3944 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3945 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3946 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3947
3948 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3949 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3950 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3951 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3952 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3953 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3954
3955 [Bodo Moeller]
3956
3957 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3958 MAC.
3959
3960 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3961
3962 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3963 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3964 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3965 supported.
3966
3967 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3968 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3969 SSL_SESSION.
3970
3971 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3972 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3973 with no application modification.
3974
3975 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3976 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3977
3978 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3979 or server extensions to be examined.
3980
3981 This work was sponsored by Google.
3982 [Steve Henson]
3983
3984 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3985 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3986 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3987
3988 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3989 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3990 ciphersuite support.
3991 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3994 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3995 to output in BER and PEM format.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3999 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
4000 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
4001 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
4002 -macopt options to dgst utility.
4003 [Steve Henson]
4004
4005 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
4006 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
4007 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
4008 utility.
4009 [Steve Henson]
4010
4011 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
4012 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
4013 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
4014 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
4015 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
4016 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
4017 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
4018 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
4019 enabled again.
4020
4021 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
4022 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
4023 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
4024 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
4025
4026 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
4027 functionality) such that between otherwise identical
4028 ciphersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
4029 the default order.
4030 [Bodo Moeller]
4031
4032 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
4033 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
4034 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
4035 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
4036 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
4037 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
4038 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
4039 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
4040 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
4041
4042 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
4043 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
4044 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
4045 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
4046 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
4047 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
4048 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
4049 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
4050 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
4051 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
4052 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
4053 kinds of kludges.
4054
4055 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
4056 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
4057 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
4058
4059 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
4060 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
4061 "CAMELLIA256".
4062 [Bodo Moeller]
4063
4064 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
4065 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
4066 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
4067 [Nils Larsch]
4068
4069 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
4070 it yet and it is largely untested.
4071 [Steve Henson]
4072
4073 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
4074 [Nils Larsch]
4075
4076 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
4077 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
4078 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
4079 [Steve Henson]
4080
4081 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
4082 [Andy Polyakov]
4083
4084 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
4085 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
4086 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
4087 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
4088 [Steve Henson]
4089
4090 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
4091 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
4092 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
4093 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
4094 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
4098 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
4099 [Cryptocom]
4100
4101 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
4102 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
4103 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
4104 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
4108 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
4109 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
4110 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
4111 [Steve Henson]
4112
4113 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
4114 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
4115 [Steve Henson]
4116
4117 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
4118 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
4119 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
4120 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
4121 [Steve Henson]
4122
4123 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
4124 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
4125 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
4126 [Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
4129 utility.
4130 [Steve Henson]
4131
4132 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
4133 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
4137 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
4138 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
4139 if necessary.
4140 [Steve Henson]
4141
4142 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
4143 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
4144 to free up any added signature OIDs.
4145 [Steve Henson]
4146
4147 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
4148 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
4149 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
4150 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
4154 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
4155 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
4156 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
4157 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
4158 the array representation useful in a more general context.
4159 [Douglas Stebila]
4160
4161 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
4162 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
4163 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
4164 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
4165 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
4166
4167 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
4168 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
4169 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
4170 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
4171 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
4172 protocol).
4173
4174 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
4175 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
4176 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
4177 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
4178
4179 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
4180 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
4181 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
4182 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
4183 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
4184
4185 aECDH - ECDH cert
4186 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
4187 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
4188
4189 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
4190 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
4191
4192 [Bodo Moeller]
4193
4194 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
4195 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
4199 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
4200 [Steve Henson]
4201
4202 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
4203 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
4204 functional reference processing.
4205 [Steve Henson]
4206
4207 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enhanced versions of
4208 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
4209 process.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
4213 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
4214 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
4215 [Steve Henson]
4216
4217 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
4218 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
4219 application to support multiple signers.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
4223 digest MAC.
4224 [Steve Henson]
4225
4226 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
4227 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
4228 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
4229 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
4230 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
4231 [Steve Henson]
4232
4233 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
4234 new API.
4235 [Steve Henson]
4236
4237 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
4238 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
4239 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
4240 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
4241 a no op.
4242 [Steve Henson]
4243
4244 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
4245 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
4246 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
4247 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
4248 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
4249 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
4250 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
4251 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
4252 [Steve Henson]
4253
4254 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
4255 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
4256 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
4257 between digests and public key types.
4258 [Steve Henson]
4259
4260 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
4261 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
4262 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
4263 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
4264 [Steve Henson]
4265
4266 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
4267 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
4268 key ASN1 method.
4269 [Steve Henson]
4270
4271 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
4272 [Steve Henson]
4273
4274 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
4275 pkeyutl.
4276 [Steve Henson]
4277
4278 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
4279 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
4280 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
4281 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
4282 pkey, genpkey.
4283 [Steve Henson]
4284
4285 *) BeOS support.
4286 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4287
4288 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
4289 manual pages.
4290 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
4291
4292 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
4293 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
4294 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
4295 functionality for RSA.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
4299 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
4300 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
4301 [Steve Henson]
4302
4303 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
4304 key API, doesn't do much yet.
4305 [Steve Henson]
4306
4307 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
4308 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
4309 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
4310 [Steve Henson]
4311
4312 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
4313 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4314 [Douglas Stebila]
4315
4316 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
4317 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
4318 [Steve Henson]
4319
4320 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
4321 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
4322 type.
4323 [Steve Henson]
4324
4325 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
4326 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
4327 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
4328 structure.
4329 [Steve Henson]
4330
4331 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
4332 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
4333 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
4334 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
4335 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
4336 of public and private key structures.
4337 [Steve Henson]
4338
4339 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
4340 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
4341 [Douglas Stebila]
4342
4343 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
4344 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
4345 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
4346
4347 New ciphersuites:
4348 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
4349 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
4350
4351 New functions:
4352 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
4353 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
4354 SSL_get_psk_identity
4355 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
4356
4357 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
4358
4359 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
4360 and response verification functionality.
4361 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
4362
4363 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4364 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4365 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4366 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4367 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4368 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4369 server_name extension.
4370
4371 New functions (subject to change):
4372
4373 SSL_get_servername()
4374 SSL_get_servername_type()
4375 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4376
4377 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4378
4379 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4380 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4381 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4382 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4383 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4384
4385 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4386
4387 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4388 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4389 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4390 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4391 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4392 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4393 option.
4394
4395 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
4396
4397 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
4398 [Andy Polyakov]
4399
4400 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
4401 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
4402 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
4403 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
4404 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
4405 [Andy Polyakov]
4406
4407 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
4408 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
4409 macro.
4410 [Bodo Moeller]
4411
4412 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
4413 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
4414 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
4415 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
4416 [Andy Polyakov]
4417
4418 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
4419 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
4420 Save memory by setting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
4421 using the maximum available value.
4422 [Steve Henson]
4423
4424 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
4425 in addition to the text details.
4426 [Bodo Moeller]
4427
4428 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
4429 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
4430 handle several customised structures at all.
4431 [Steve Henson]
4432
4433 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
4434 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
4435 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
4436 [Steve Henson]
4437
4438 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
4439 [Steve Henson]
4440
4441 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
4442 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
4443 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
4444 [Steve Henson]
4445
4446 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
4447 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
4448 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
4449 [Nils Larsch]
4450
4451 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
4452 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
4453 all fields.
4454 [Steve Henson]
4455
4456 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
4457 [Steve Henson]
4458
4459 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
4460 [NTT]
4461
4462 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
4463
4464 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
4465 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
4466 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
4467 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
4468 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
4469 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
4470 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
4471 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
4472
4473 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4474 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4475 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4476
4477 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4478
4479 *) Always check bn_wexpand() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4480 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4481
4482 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4483 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4484 [Bodo Moeller]
4485
4486 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4487 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4488 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4489 [Steve Henson]
4490
4491 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4492 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4493 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4494 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4495 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4496 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4497 [Steve Henson]
4498
4499 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4500 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4501 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4502 [Steve Henson]
4503
4504 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4505 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4506 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4507 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4508 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4509 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4510 CVE-2009-4355.
4511 [Steve Henson]
4512
4513 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4514 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4515 [Bodo Moeller]
4516
4517 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4518 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4519 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4520 [Steve Henson]
4521
4522 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4523 [Steve Henson]
4524
4525 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4526 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4527 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4528 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4529 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4530 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4531 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4532 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4533 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4534 [Steve Henson]
4535
4536 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4537 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4538 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4539 [Steve Henson]
4540
4541 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4542 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4543 [Steve Henson]
4544
4545 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4546 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4547 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4548 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4549 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4550 know what you are doing.
4551 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4552
4553 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4554 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4555 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4556 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4557 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4558 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4559 the handshake.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4563 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4564 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4565 correctly.
4566 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4567
4568 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4569 warnings in other configurations.
4570 [Steve Henson]
4571
4572 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4573 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4574 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4575 systems need.
4576 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4577
4578 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4579 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4580 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4581
4582 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4583 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4584 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4585 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4586 [Steve Henson]
4587
4588 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4589 and restored.
4590 [Steve Henson]
4591
4592 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4593 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4594 clash.
4595 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4596
4597 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4598 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4599 other than a simple chain.
4600 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4601
4602 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4603 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4604 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4605 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4606 [Steve Henson]
4607
4608 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4609 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4610 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4611 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4612 left. Additionally every future message was buffered, even if the
4613 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4614 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4615 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4616 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4617
4618 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4619 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4620 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4621 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4622 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4623 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4624 (CVE-2009-1377)
4625 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4626
4627 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4628 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4629 [Daniel Mentz]
4630
4631 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4632 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4633
4634 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4635 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4636
4637 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4638
4639 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4640 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4641 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4642 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4643 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4644 you're doing.
4645 [Ben Laurie]
4646
4647 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4648
4649 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4650 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4651 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4652 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4653
4654 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4655 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4656 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4657 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4658
4659 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4660 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4661 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4662 [Steve Henson]
4663
4664 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4665 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4666 level.
4667 [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4670 to handle some structures.
4671 [Steve Henson]
4672
4673 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4674 for a '\n'
4675 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4676
4677 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4678 [Matthieu Herrb]
4679
4680 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4681 [Steve Henson]
4682
4683 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4684 [Steve Henson]
4685
4686 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4687 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4688 chosen compiler.
4689 [Ben Laurie]
4690
4691 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4692
4693 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4694 (CVE-2008-5077).
4695 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4696
4697 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4698 [Ben Laurie]
4699
4700 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4701 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4702 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4703 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4704
4705 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4706 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4707
4708 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4709 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4710 [Bodo Moeller]
4711
4712 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4713 s_client and s_server.
4714 [Ben Laurie]
4715
4716 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4717 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4718
4719 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4720 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4721
4722 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4723 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4724 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4725 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4726 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4727 [Bodo Moeller]
4728
4729 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4730
4731 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4732 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4733 [PR #1679]
4734
4735 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4736 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4737 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4738
4739 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4740 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4741 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4742 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4743
4744 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4745 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4746
4747 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4748
4749 *) Various precautionary measures:
4750
4751 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4752
4753 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4754 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4755 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4756
4757 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4758 outside the expected range.
4759
4760 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4761 builds.
4762
4763 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4764
4765 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4766 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4767 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4768
4769 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4770 [Steve Henson]
4771
4772 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4773 [Huang Ying]
4774
4775 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4776
4777 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4778 [Steve Henson]
4779
4780 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4781 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4782 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4783
4784 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4785 [Steve Henson]
4786
4787 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4788 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4789 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4790 files.
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4794
4795 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4796 handshake which could lead to a client crash as found using the
4797 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4798 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4799
4800 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4801 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4802 [Joe Orton]
4803
4804 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4805
4806 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4807 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4808 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4809
4810 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4811
4812 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4813 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4814 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4815 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4816 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4817
4818 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4819 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4820 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4821 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4822 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4823 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4824 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4825
4826 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4827
4828 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4829 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4830 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4831 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4832 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4833
4834 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4835 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4836
4837 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4838 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4839 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4840 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4841 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4842
4843 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4844
4845 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4846 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4847 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4848 sets may exist with different names.
4849 [Steve Henson]
4850
4851 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4852 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4853 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4854 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4855 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4856 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4857 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4858 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4859 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4860 implementation.
4861 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4862
4863 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4864 implementation in the following ways:
4865
4866 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4867 hard coded.
4868
4869 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4870 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4871 ignored for embedded content.
4872
4873 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4874 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4875 [Steve Henson]
4876
4877 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4878 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4879 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4880 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4881
4882 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4883 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4884 [Steve Henson]
4885
4886 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4887 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4888 [Steve Henson]
4889
4890 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4891 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4892 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4893 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4894 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4895 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4896 data.
4897 [Steve Henson]
4898
4899 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4900 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4901 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4902
4903 *) Netware support:
4904
4905 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4906 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4907 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4908 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4909 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4910 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4911 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4912 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4913 platform
4914 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4915 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4916 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4917 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4918 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4919 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4920 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4921
4922 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4923 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4924 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4925 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4926 to s_client and s_server.

4928
4929 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4930
4931 *) Fix various bugs:
4932 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4933 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4934 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4935 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4936 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4937
4938 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4939
4940 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4941 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4942 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4943 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4944 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4945 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4946 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4947 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4948 [Andy Polyakov]
4949
4950 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4951 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4952 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4953 Steve Henson]
4954
4955 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4956 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4957 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4958 supported.
4959
4960 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4961 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4962 SSL_SESSION.
4963
4964 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4965 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4966 with no application modification.
4967
4968 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4969 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4970
4971 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4972 or server extensions to be examined.
4973
4974 This work was sponsored by Google.
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4978 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4979 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4980 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4981 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4982 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4983 server_name extension.
4984
4985 New functions (subject to change):
4986
4987 SSL_get_servername()
4988 SSL_get_servername_type()
4989 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4990
4991 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4992
4993 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4994 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4995 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4996 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4997 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4998
4999 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
5000
5001 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
5002 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
5003 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
5004 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
5005 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
5006 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
5007 option.
5008
5009 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
5010
5011 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
5012 [Steve Henson]
5013
5014 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
5015 [Andy Polyakov]
5016
5017 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
5018 (which previously caused an internal error).
5019 [Bodo Moeller]
5020
5021 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
5022 [Ben Laurie]
5023
5024 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
5025 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
5026
5027 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
5028 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
5029 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
5030
5031 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
5032 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
5033 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
5034 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
5035
5036 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5037 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5038 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
5039 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
5040
5041 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
5042 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
5043 information. For detailed background information, see
5044 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
5045 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
5046 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
5047 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
5048 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
5049 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
5050 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
5051 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
5052 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
5053 remove a conditional branch.
5054
5055 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
5056 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
5057 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
5058 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
5059 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
5060 remains as a deprecated alias.
5061
5062 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
5063 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
5064 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
5065 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
5066
5067 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
5068 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
5069 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
5070 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
5071 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
5072 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
5073 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
5074 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
5075
5076 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
5077
5078 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
5079 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
5080 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
5081 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
5082 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
5083 with applications using a single external cache for quite
5084 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
5085 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
5086 in a different context.
5087 [Bodo Moeller]
5088
5089 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5090 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5091 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5092 [Bodo Moeller]
5093
5094 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
5095 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
5096 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
5097
5098 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
5099
5100 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
5101 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
5102 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5103 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
5104 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
5105 [Victor Duchovni]
5106
5107 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
5108 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
5109 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
5110 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
5111 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
5112 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
5113 [Bodo Moeller]
5114
5115 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5116 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5117 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5118 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5119 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5120 [Bodo Moeller]
5121
5122 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
5123 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
5124
5125 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5126 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5127 Improve header file function name parsing.
5128 [Steve Henson]
5129
5130 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
5131 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
5132 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
5133
5134 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
5135
5136 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5137 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5138 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5139
5140 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5141 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5142
5143 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5144 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5145
5146 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5147 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5148 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5149
5150 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
5151 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
5152 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
5153 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
5154 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
5155 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
5156 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
5157 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
5158 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
5159
5160 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
5161 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
5162 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
5163 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
5164 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
5165
5166 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
5167 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
5168 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
5169 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
5170 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
5171 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
5172 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
5173 multiple values to extend the available space.
5174
5175 [Bodo Moeller]
5176
5177 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
5178
5179 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5180 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5181
5182 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
5183 [Ben Laurie]
5184
5185 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5186 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5187 undesirable limitations.
5188 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5189
5190 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
5191 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
5192 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
5193 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
5194 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
5195 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
5196 to avoid potential handshake problems.
5197 [Bodo Moeller]
5198
5199 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5200
5201 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5202 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5203 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5204
5205 The latter two were purportedly from
5206 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5207 appear there.
5208
5209 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
5210 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5211 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5212 [Bodo Moeller]
5213
5214 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5215 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5216 [Bodo Moeller]
5217
5218 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
5219 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
5220 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
5221 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
5222
5223 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
5224 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
5225 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
5226 [NTT]
5227
5228 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
5229 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
5230 necessarily true if compression is enabled and can result in false
5231 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
5232 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
5233 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
5234 [Steve Henson]
5235
5236 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
5237
5238 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
5239 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
5240 [Steve Henson]
5241
5242 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
5243 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
5244
5245 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5246 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
5247 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
5248 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
5249 [Douglas Stebila]
5250
5251 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
5252 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
5253 [Steve Henson]
5254
5255 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
5256 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
5257 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
5258 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
5259 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
5260 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
5261 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
5262 can't be loaded.
5263 [Steve Henson]
5264
5265 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
5266 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
5267 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
5268 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
5269 [Steve Henson]
5270
5271 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
5272 under VC++ build system.
5273 [Steve Henson]
5274
5275 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
5276 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
5277 [Richard Levitte]
5278
5279 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
5280
5281 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5282 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5283 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5284 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5285 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5286
5287 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5288 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5289 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5290
5291 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
5292 [Steve Henson]
5293
5294 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
5295 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5296 [Nils Larsch]
5297
5298 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
5299 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
5300
5301 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
5302 [Nick Mathewson]
5303
5304 *) Extended Windows CE support.
5305 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
5306
5307 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
5308 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
5309 [Steve Henson]
5310
5311 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
5312 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
5313 smime utility.
5314 [Steve Henson]
5315
5316 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
5317
5318 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5319 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5320
5321 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
5322 [Richard Levitte]
5323
5324 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
5325 key into the same file any more.
5326 [Richard Levitte]
5327
5328 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
5329 [Andy Polyakov]
5330
5331 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
5332 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
5333
5334 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
5335 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
5336 [Richard Levitte]
5337
5338 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
5339 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
5340 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
5341 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
5342 this only applies when building 'shared'.
5343 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
5344
5345 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
5346 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
5347 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
5348 [Steve Henson]
5349
5350 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
5351 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
5352 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
5353 - add new function for parameter creation
5354 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
5355 BN_BLINDING parameters
5356 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
5357 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
5358 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
5359 threads.
5360 [Nils Larsch]
5361
5362 *) Add support for DTLS.
5363 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
5364
5365 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
5366 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
5367 [Walter Goulet]
5368
5369 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
5370 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
5371 [Nils Larsch]
5372
5373 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
5374 the apps/openssl applications.
5375 [Nils Larsch]
5376
5377 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
5378 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
5379 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
5380 [Ben Laurie]
5381
5382 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
5383 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
5384
5385 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
5386 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
5387
5388 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
5389 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
5390 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
5391 avoid this algorithm.)
5392
5393 [Bodo Moeller]
5394
5395 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
5396 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
5397 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
5398 [Richard Levitte]
5399
5400 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
5401 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
5402 [Andy Polyakov]
5403
5404 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
5405 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
5406 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
5407 pod file:
5408
5409 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
5410
5411 The blank line is mandatory.
5412
5413 [Steve Henson]
5414
5415 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
5416 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
5417 sources.
5418 [Steve Henson]
5419
5420 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
5421 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
5422
5423 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
5424 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
5425 to support policy checking and print out.
5426 [Steve Henson]
5427
5428 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
5429 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
5430 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
5431 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
5432
5433 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
5434 [Geoff Thorpe]
5435
5436 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
5437 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
5438
5439 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
5440 implementation contributed by IBM.
5441 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
5442
5443 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
5444 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
5445 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
5446 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
5447
5448 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
5449 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
5450
5451 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
5452 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
5453 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
5454 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
5455 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
5456 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
5457 [Steve Henson]
5458
5459 *) Reduced header interdependencies by declaring more opaque objects in
5460 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
5461 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
5462 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
5463 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
5464 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
5465 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
5466 [Geoff Thorpe]
5467
5468 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
5469 [Steve Henson]
5470
5471 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
5472 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
5473 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5474 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5475 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5476 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5477 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5478 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5479 [Steve Henson]
5480
5481 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5482 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5483 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5484 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5485 [Steve Henson]
5486
5487 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5488 syntax:
5489
5490 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5491 [Steve Henson]
5492
5493 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5494 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5495 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5496 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5497 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5498 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5499 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5500 [Geoff Thorpe]
5501
5502 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5503 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5504 [Geoff Thorpe]
5505
5506 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5507 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5508 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5509 [Steve Henson]
5510
5511 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5512 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5513 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5514 below).
5515 [Geoff Thorpe]
5516
5517 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5518 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5519 [Richard Levitte]
5520
5521 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5522 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5523 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5524 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5525 [Geoff Thorpe]
5526
5527 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5528 initialised value as BN_new().
5529 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5530
5531 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5532 [Steve Henson]
5533
5534 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5535 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5536 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5537 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5538 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5539 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5540 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5541 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5542 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5543 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5544 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5545 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5546 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5547 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5548 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5549
5550 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5551 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5552 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5553 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5554 [Geoff Thorpe]
5555
5556 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5557 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5558 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5559 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5560 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5561 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5562 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5563 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5564 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5565 [Geoff Thorpe]
5566
5567 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5568 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5569 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5570 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5571 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5572 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5573 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5574 [Geoff Thorpe]
5575
5576 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5577 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5578 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5579 these have been updated also.
5580 [Geoff Thorpe]
5581
5582 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5583 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5584 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5585 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5586 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5587 functions.
5588 [Steve Henson]
5589
5590 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5591 structure of type "other".
5592 [Steve Henson]
5593
5594 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5595 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5596 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5597 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5598 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5599 situation in the script.
5600 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5601
5602 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5603 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5604 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5605 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5606 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5607 used as premaster secret.
5608 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5609
5610 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5611 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5612 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5613
5614 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5615 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5616
5617 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5618 control of the error stack.
5619 [Richard Levitte]
5620
5621 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5622 [Richard Levitte]
5623
5624 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5625 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5626 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5627 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5628 [Richard Levitte]
5629
5630 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5631 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5632 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5633 [Richard Levitte]
5634
5635 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5636 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5637 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5638 a memory area.
5639 [Richard Levitte]
5640
5641 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5642 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5643 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5644 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5645 [Richard Levitte]
5646
5647 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5648 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5649 the following flags are defined:
5650
5651 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5652 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5653 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5654 number.
5655
5656 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5657 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5658 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5659 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5660 returns zero.
5661 [Richard Levitte]
5662
5663 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5664 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5665 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5666 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5667 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5668 [Richard Levitte]
5669
5670 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5671 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5672 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5673 [Richard Levitte]
5674
5675 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5676 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5677 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5678 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5679 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5680 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5681 [Richard Levitte]
5682
5683 *) Generate multi-valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5684 req and dirName.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5688 [Steve Henson]
5689
5690 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5691 [Steve Henson]
5692
5693 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5694 [Steve Henson]
5695
5696 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5697 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5698 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5699 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5700 default implementation more easily.
5701 [Geoff Thorpe]
5702
5703 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5704 in config files.
5705 [Steve Henson]
5706
5707 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5708 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5709 [Richard Levitte]
5710
5711 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5712 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5713 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5714 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5715
5716 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5717 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5718 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5719 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5720 [Steve Henson]
5721
5722 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5723 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5724 to do it.
5725 [Richard Levitte]
5726
5727 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5728 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5729 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5730 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5731 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5732 scalar * generator).
5733 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5734
5735 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5736 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5737 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5738 correctly.
5739 [Steve Henson]
5740
5741 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5742 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5743 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5744 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5745 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5746 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5747 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5748 linker additions, eg;
5749 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5750 [Geoff Thorpe]
5751
5752 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5753 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5754 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5755 [Geoff Thorpe]
5756
5757 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5758 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5759 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5760 via PR#459)
5761 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5762
5763 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5764 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5765 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5766 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5767 [Geoff Thorpe]
5768
5769 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5770 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5771 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5772 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5773 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5774 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5775 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5776 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5777 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5778 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5779
5780 Example for using the new callback interface:
5781
5782 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5783 void *my_arg = ...;
5784 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5785
5786 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5787
5788 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5789 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5790 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5791 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5792 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5793 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5794 */
5795
5796 [Geoff Thorpe]
5797
5798 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5799 available to TLS with the number defined in
5800 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5801 [Richard Levitte]
5802
5803 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5804 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5805
5806 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5807 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5808 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5809 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5810
5811 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5812 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5813
5814 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5815 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5816 well.
5817 [Richard Levitte]
5818
5819 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5820 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5821 [Richard Levitte]
5822
5823 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5824 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5825 and a macro that behave like
5826 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5827
5828 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5829 [Nils Larsch]
5830
5831 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5832 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5833 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5834 if applicable.
5835 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5836
5837 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5838 [Bodo Moeller]
5839
5840 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5841 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5842 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5843 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5844 directory engines/.
5845 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5846 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5847 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5848 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5849 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5850 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5851 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5852 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5853
5854 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5855 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5856 [Richard Levitte]
5857
5858 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5859 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5860
5861 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5862 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5863 files while avoiding the low level API.
5864
5865 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5866 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5867 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5868 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5869
5870 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5871 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5872 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5873 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5874 instead of the low level API.
5875 [Steve Henson]
5876
5877 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5878 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5879 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5880 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5881 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5882 PKCS#7 code.
5883
5884 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5885 down to the template encoder.
5886 [Steve Henson]
5887
5888 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5889 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5890 [Bodo Moeller]
5891
5892 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5893 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5894 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5895 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5896
5897 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5898 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5899
5900 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5901 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5902
5903 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5904 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5905 [Bodo Moeller]
5906
5907 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5908 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5909 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5910 [Bodo Moeller]
5911
5912 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5913 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5914
5915 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5916 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5917
5918 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5919 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5920 New EC_METHOD:
5921
5922 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5923
5924 New API functions:
5925
5926 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5927 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5928 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5929 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5930 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5931 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5932
5933 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5934 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5935 enable it).
5936
5937 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5938 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5939 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5940 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5941 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5942 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5943 various internal method names.)
5944
5945 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5946 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5947
5948 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5949 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5950
5951 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5952 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5953
5954 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5955 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5956 methods are undefined.
5957
5958 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5959 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5960
5961 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5962 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5963 length of the modulus.
5964
5965 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5966 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5967
5968 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5969 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5970
5971 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5972 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5973
5974 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5975 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5976 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5977
5978 BN_GF2m_add
5979 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5980 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5981 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5982 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5983 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5984 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5985 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5986 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5987 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5988
5989 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5990 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5991
5992 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5993 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5994 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5995 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5996 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5997 where
5998 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5999 This applies to the following functions:
6000
6001 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
6002 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
6003 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
6004 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
6005 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
6006 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
6007 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
6008 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
6009 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6010 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6011
6012 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
6013
6014 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
6015 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
6016
6017 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
6018
6019 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
6020 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
6021 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
6022 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
6023 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
6024
6025 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
6026 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
6027
6028 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
6029 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
6030 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
6031
6032 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
6033 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
6034
6035 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
6036 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
6037 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
6038 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
6039 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6040
6041 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
6042 functions
6043 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
6044 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
6045 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
6046 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
6047 These control ASN1 encoding details:
6048 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
6049 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
6050 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
6051 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
6052 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
6053 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
6054 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
6055
6056 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
6057 functions
6058 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
6059 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
6060 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
6061 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
6062 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6063
6064 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
6065 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
6066 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
6067 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6068
6069 *) Add functions
6070 EC_POINT_point2bn()
6071 EC_POINT_bn2point()
6072 EC_POINT_point2hex()
6073 EC_POINT_hex2point()
6074 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
6075 EC_POINT_oct2point().
6076 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6077
6078 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
6079 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
6080 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
6081 EC_GROUP_get_order()
6082 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
6083 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
6084 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
6085 adding different types of curves.
6086 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
6087
6088 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
6089 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
6090 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
6091 [Bodo Moeller]
6092
6093 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
6094 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
6095
6096 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
6097 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
6098 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
6099 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6100
6101 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
6102
6103 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
6104 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
6105
6106 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
6107 library. Most notably,
6108 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
6109 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
6110 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
6111 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
6112 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
6113 extracted before the specific public key;
6114 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
6115 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6116
6117 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
6118 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
6119 function
6120 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
6121 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
6122 EC_get_builtin_curves().
6123 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
6124 accessed via
6125 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
6126 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
6127 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
6128
6129 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6130 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6131 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6132 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6133 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6134 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6135 differing sizes.
6136 [Richard Levitte]
6137
6138 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
6139
6140 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
6141 sensitive data.
6142 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
6143
6144 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
6145 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
6146 authentication-only ciphersuites.
6147 [Bodo Moeller]
6148
6149 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
6150 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
6151 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
6152 [Victor Duchovni]
6153
6154 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
6155 [Steve Henson]
6156
6157 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
6158 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
6159 [Steve Henson]
6160
6161 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
6162 run algorithm test programs.
6163 [Steve Henson]
6164
6165 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
6166 [Steve Henson]
6167
6168 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
6169 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
6170 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
6171 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
6172 message has informed the client about his choice.)
6173 [Bodo Moeller]
6174
6175 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
6176 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
6177 [Steve Henson]
6178
6179 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
6180
6181 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
6182 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
6183 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6184
6185 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
6186 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
6187
6188 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
6189 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6190
6191 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
6192 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
6193 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
6194
6195 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
6196 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
6197 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
6198 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
6199 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
6200 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
6201 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
6202 [Bodo Moeller]
6203
6204 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
6205
6206 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
6207 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
6208
6209 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
6210 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
6211 undesirable limitations.
6212 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6213
6214 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
6215
6216 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
6217 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
6218 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
6219
6220 The latter two were purportedly from
6221 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
6222 appear there.
6223
6224 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
6225 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
6226 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
6227 [Bodo Moeller]
6228
6229 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
6230 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
6231 [Bodo Moeller]
6232
6233 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
6234
6235 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
6236 module in FIPS mode.
6237 [Steve Henson]
6238
6239 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
6240 [Steve Henson]
6241
6242 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
6243 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
6244 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
6245 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
6246 [Steve Henson]
6247
6248 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
6249
6250 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
6251 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
6252 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
6253 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
6254 the difference induced by this change.
6255 [Andy Polyakov]
6256
6257 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
6258
6259 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
6260 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
6261 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
6262 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
6263 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
6264
6265 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
6266 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
6267 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
6268
6269 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
6270 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
6271 [Steve Henson]
6272
6273 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
6274 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
6275 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
6276 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
6277 biased k.)
6278 [Bodo Moeller]
6279
6280 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
6281 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
6282 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
6283 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
6284 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
6285
6286 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
6287 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
6288 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
6289 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
6290 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
6291 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
6292
6293 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
6294
6295 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
6296 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
6297 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
6298 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
6299 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
6300 [Bodo Moeller]
6301
6302 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
6303 clients need.
6304 [Steve Henson]
6305
6306 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
6307 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
6308 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
6309 [Steve Henson]
6310
6311 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
6312 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
6313 structures constant.
6314 [Steve Henson]
6315
6316 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
6317
6318 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
6319 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
6320
6321 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
6322 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
6323 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
6324 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
6325 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
6326 some needed definitions.
6327 [Steve Henson]
6328
6329 *) Undo Cygwin change.
6330 [Ulf Möller]
6331
6332 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
6333 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
6334 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
6335 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
6336 [Richard Levitte]
6337
6338 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
6339
6340 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
6341 server and client random values. Previously
6342 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
6343 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
6344
6345 This change has negligible security impact because:
6346
6347 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
6348 data.
6349
6350 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
6351 handshake.
6352
6353 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
6354 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
6355 values.
6356
6357 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
6358 to our attention.
6359
6360 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
6361
6362 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
6363 [Ulf Möller]
6364
6365 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
6366 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
6367 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
6368
6369 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
6370 [Steve Henson]
6371
6372 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
6373 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
6374 [Andy Polyakov]
6375
6376 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
6377 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
6378 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
6379
6380 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
6381 [Steve Henson]
6382
6383 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
6384 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
6385 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
6386 certificates.
6387 [Steve Henson]
6388
6389 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
6390 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
6391 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
6392 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
6393
6394 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
6395 has chosen to ignore this fault)
6396 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
6397 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
6398 been given)
6399 [Richard Levitte]
6400
6401 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
6402
6403 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
6404 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
6405 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
6406 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
6407 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
6411 [Steve Henson]
6412
6413 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
6414 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
6415
6416 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
6417 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
6418 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
6419 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
6420 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
6421 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
6422 rather than being initialized to 1.
6423 [Steve Henson]
6424
6425 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
6426
6427 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6428 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6429 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6430
6431 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
6432 (CVE-2004-0112)
6433 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6434
6435 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
6436 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
6437 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
6438 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
6439 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
6440 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
6441 [Richard Levitte]
6442
6443 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
6444 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
6445 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
6446 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
6447 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
6448 for these cases.
6449 [Steve Henson]
6450
6451 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
6452 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
6453 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
6454 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
6455 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
6456 [Steve Henson]
6457
6458 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
6459 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
6460 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
6461 < 0.9.7.
6462 [Steve Henson]
6463
6464 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
6465 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6466
6467 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
6468 [Steve Henson]
6469
6470 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
6471
6472 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6473
6474 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6475 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6476
6477 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6478
6479 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6480 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6481
6482 [Steve Henson]
6483
6484 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6485 exiting on the first error in a request.
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6489 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6490 specifications.
6491 [Steve Henson]
6492
6493 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6494 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6495 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6496 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6497
6498 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6499 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6500 [Richard Levitte]
6501
6502 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6503 blocks during encryption.
6504 [Richard Levitte]
6505
6506 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6507 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6508 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6509 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6510 certain size.
6511 [Steve Henson]
6512
6513 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6514 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6515 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6516 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6517 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6518 parser.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6522
6523 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6524 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6525 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6526 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6527 [Bodo Moeller]
6528
6529 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6530 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6531 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6532 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6533 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6534
6535 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6536 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6537 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6538 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6539 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6540 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6541 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6542 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6543 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6544 [Bodo Moeller]
6545
6546 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6547 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6548 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6549 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6550 [Geoff Thorpe]
6551
6552 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6553 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6554 [Ulf Moeller]
6555
6556 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6557
6558 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6559 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6560 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6561 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6562 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6563
6564 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6565 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6566 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6567
6568 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6569 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6570 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6571 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6572 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6573
6574 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6575 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6576 used by default when no-err is given.
6577 [Richard Levitte]
6578
6579 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6580 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6581
6582 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6583 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6584 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6585 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6586 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6587
6588 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6589 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6590 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6591 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6592
6593 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6594
6595 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6596
6597 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6598
6599 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6600 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6601 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6602 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6603 root is omitted).
6604 [Steve Henson]
6605
6606 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6607 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6608
6609 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6610 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6611 [Steve Henson]
6612
6613 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6614 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6615 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6616 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6617 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6618
6619 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6620 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6621 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6622 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6623 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6624 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6625 followup to PR #377.
6626 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6627
6628 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6629 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6630 [Andy Polyakov]
6631
6632 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6633 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6634 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6635 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6636
6637 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6638
6639 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6640 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6641
6642 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6643 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6644 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6645 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6646 client and server.
6647 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6648 PR #377.
6649 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6650
6651 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6652 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6653 removed entirely.
6654 [Richard Levitte]
6655
6656 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6657 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6658 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6659 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6660 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6661 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6662 of libcrypto.
6663 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6664 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6665 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6666 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6667 have to be made anyway).
6668 [Richard Levitte]
6669
6670 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6671 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6672 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6673 [Steve Henson]
6674
6675 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6676 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6677 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6678 [Richard Levitte]
6679
6680 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6681 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6682 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6683
6684 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6685 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6686 edit numbers of the version.
6687 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6688
6689 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6690 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6691 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6692
6693 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6694 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6695
6696 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6697 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6698 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6699
6700 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6701 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6702
6703 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6704 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6705
6706 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6707 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6708
6709 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6710 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6711
6712 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6713 overflows.
6714 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6715
6716 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6717 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6718 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6719
6720 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6721 representations in a platform independent manner.
6722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6723
6724 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6725 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6727
6728 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6729 indents.
6730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6731
6732 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6734
6735 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6736 full. Fixed.
6737 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6738
6739 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6740 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6741 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6742
6743 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6744 unconditionally).
6745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6746
6747 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6748 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6749
6750 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6752
6753 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6754 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6755
6756 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6757 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6758
6759 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6760 CBCParameter.
6761 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6762
6763 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6764 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6765
6766 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6767 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6768
6769 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6770 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6771 exploitable.
6772 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6773
6774 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6775 the 0.9.6 release series:
6776
6777 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6778 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6779 (CVE-2002-0657)
6780 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6781
6782 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6783 [Richard Levitte]
6784
6785 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6786 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6787
6788 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6789 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6790
6791 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6792 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6793 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6794 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6795
6796 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6797 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6798 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6799
6800 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6801 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6802 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6803 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6804
6805 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6806 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6807 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6808 some local tweaks:
6809
6810 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6811 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6812 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6813 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6814 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6815 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6816 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6817 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6818 done
6819
6820 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6821 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6822 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6823 [Richard Levitte]
6824
6825 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6826 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6827 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6828 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6829 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6830
6831 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6832 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6833
6834 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6835 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6836 [Richard Levitte]
6837
6838 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6839 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6840 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6841 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6842 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6843 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6844 [Steve Henson]
6845
6846 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6847 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6848 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6849 [Steve Henson]
6850
6851 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6852 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6853 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6854
6855 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6856 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6857 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6858 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6859 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6860 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6861 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6862 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6863
6864 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6865 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6866 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6867 ENGINE is initialized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6868 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6869 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be initialized at all.
6870 [Steve Henson]
6871
6872 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6873 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6874 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6875 declaration has been changed from
6876 int (*cb)()
6877 into
6878 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6879 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6880 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6881 has been changed into
6882 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6883
6884 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6885 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6886 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6887
6888 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6889 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6890
6891 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6892 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6893 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6894 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6895 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6896 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6897 always load it have also been added.
6898 [Steve Henson]
6899
6900 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6901 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6902 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6903
6904 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6905
6906 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6907 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6908 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6909
6910 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6911 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6912 command line option can be used to specify an
6913 alternative file.
6914 [Steve Henson]
6915
6916 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6917 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6918 [Steve Henson]
6919
6920 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6921 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6922 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6923 [Steve Henson]
6924
6925 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6926 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6927 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6928 to work with the new engine framework.
6929 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6930
6931 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6932 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6933 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6934 to work with the new engine framework.
6935 [Richard Levitte]
6936
6937 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6938 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6939 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6940
6941 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6942 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6943
6944 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6945 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6946 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6947 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6948 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6949 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6950
6951 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6952 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6953
6954 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6955 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6956
6957 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6958 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6959 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6960 [Ben Laurie]
6961
6962 *) Add new functions
6963 ERR_peek_last_error
6964 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6965 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6966 These are similar to
6967 ERR_peek_error
6968 ERR_peek_error_line
6969 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6970 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6971 still in the error queue.
6972 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6973
6974 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6975 like:
6976 default_algorithms = ALL
6977 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6978 [Steve Henson]
6979
6980 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6981 [Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6984 [Steve Henson]
6985
6986 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6987 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6988 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6989 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6990
6991 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6992 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6993
6994 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6995 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6996
6997 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6998 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6999 [Bodo Moeller]
7000
7001 *) New functions/macros
7002
7003 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
7004 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
7005 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
7006 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
7007
7008 to request calling a callback function
7009
7010 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
7011 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
7012
7013 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
7014 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
7015 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
7016 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
7017 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
7018 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
7019 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
7020 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
7021 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
7022 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
7023
7024 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
7025 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
7026 [Bodo Moeller]
7027
7028 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
7029 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
7030 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
7031 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
7032 the configuration scripts.
7033
7034 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
7035 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
7036 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
7037
7038 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
7039 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
7040
7041 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
7042 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
7043 when reusing an existing buffer.
7044 [Bodo Moeller]
7045
7046 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
7047 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
7048 [Steve Henson]
7049
7050 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
7051 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
7052 [Ben Laurie]
7053
7054 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
7055 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
7056 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
7057 has the same effect.
7058 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
7059
7060 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
7061 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
7062 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
7063 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
7064 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
7065 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
7066 exception.
7067
7068 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
7069 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
7070 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
7071 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
7072
7073 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
7074 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
7075 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
7076 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
7077
7078 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
7079 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
7080 won't work.
7081
7082 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
7083 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
7084 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
7085 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
7086 default), and then completely removed.
7087 [Richard Levitte]
7088
7089 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
7090 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
7091 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
7092 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
7093 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
7094 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
7095 particular extension is supported.
7096 [Steve Henson]
7097
7098 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
7099 to retain compatibility with existing code.
7100 [Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
7103 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
7104 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
7105 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
7106 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
7107 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
7108 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
7109 requires the destination to be valid.
7110
7111 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
7112 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
7113 [Steve Henson]
7114
7115 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
7116 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
7117 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
7118 [Bodo Moeller]
7119
7120 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
7121 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
7122
7123 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
7124 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
7125 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
7126 of specific crypto interfaces. This change also introduces integrated
7127 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
7128 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
7129 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
7130 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
7131 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
7132 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
7133 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
7134 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
7135 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
7136 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
7137 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
7138 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
7139 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
7140 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
7141 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
7142 the new code.
7143 [Geoff Thorpe]
7144
7145 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
7146 [Steve Henson]
7147
7148 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
7149 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
7150 become part of libeay.num as well.
7151 [Richard Levitte]
7152
7153 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
7154 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
7155 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
7156 false once a handshake has been completed.
7157 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
7158 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
7159 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
7160 client has followed the request.)
7161 [Bodo Moeller]
7162
7163 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
7164 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
7165 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
7166 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
7167
7168 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
7169 more bits available for options that should not be part of
7170 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
7171 [Bodo Moeller]
7172
7173 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
7174 [Steve Henson]
7175
7176 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
7177 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
7178 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
7179 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7180
7181 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
7182 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7183 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7184
7185 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
7186 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
7187 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
7188 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
7189 [Geoff Thorpe]
7190
7191 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
7192 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
7193 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
7194 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
7195 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
7196 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
7197 [Geoff Thorpe]
7198
7199 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
7200 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
7201 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
7202 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
7203 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
7204 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
7205 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
7206 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
7207 [Geoff Thorpe]
7208
7209 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
7210 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
7211 [Geoff Thorpe]
7212
7213 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
7214 [Ben Laurie]
7215
7216 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
7217 md_data void pointer.
7218 [Ben Laurie]
7219
7220 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
7221 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
7222 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
7223 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
7224 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
7225 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
7226 [Ben Laurie]
7227
7228 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
7229 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
7230 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
7231 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
7232 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
7233 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
7234 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
7235 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
7236 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
7237 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
7238 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
7239 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
7240 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
7241 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
7242 rather than letting it slide.
7243
7244 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
7245 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
7246 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
7247 [Geoff Thorpe]
7248
7249 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
7250 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
7251 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
7252 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
7253 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
7254 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
7255 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
7256 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
7257 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
7258 [Geoff Thorpe]
7259
7260 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
7261 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
7262 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
7263 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
7264 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
7265
7266 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
7267 [Geoff Thorpe]
7268
7269 *) Add EVP test program.
7270 [Ben Laurie]
7271
7272 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
7273 [Ben Laurie]
7274
7275 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
7276 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
7277 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
7278 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
7279 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
7280 [Steve Henson]
7281
7282 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
7283 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
7284 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
7285 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
7286 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
7287 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
7288 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
7289
7290 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
7291 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
7292 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
7293 Usage example:
7294
7295 EVP_MD_CTX md;
7296
7297 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
7298 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
7299 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
7300 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
7301 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
7302
7303 [Ben Laurie]
7304
7305 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
7306 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
7307 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
7308 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
7309 anyway): E.g.,
7310
7311 des_key_schedule ks;
7312
7313 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
7314 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
7315
7316 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
7317 [Ben Laurie]
7318
7319 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
7320 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
7321 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
7322 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
7323 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
7324 functions prevents this.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
7328 [Ben Laurie]
7329
7330 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
7331 correct _ecb suffix.
7332 [Ben Laurie]
7333
7334 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
7335 revocation information is handled using the text based index
7336 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
7337 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
7338 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
7339 [Steve Henson]
7340
7341 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
7342 [Richard Levitte]
7343
7344 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
7345 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
7346 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
7347 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
7348
7349 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
7350 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
7351
7352 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
7353 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7354 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
7355 via Richard Levitte]
7356
7357 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
7358 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
7359 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
7360 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
7361 [Geoff Thorpe]
7362
7363 *) Speed up EVP routines.
7364 Before:
7365 encrypt
7366 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
7367 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
7368 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
7369 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
7370 decrypt
7371 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
7372 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
7373 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
7374 After:
7375 encrypt
7376 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
7377 decrypt
7378 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
7379 [Ben Laurie]
7380
7381 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
7382 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
7383
7384 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
7385 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
7386 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
7387 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
7388 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
7389 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
7393 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
7394 [Richard Levitte]
7395
7396 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
7397 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
7398 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
7399 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
7400
7401 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
7402 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
7403 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
7404 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
7405 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
7406 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
7407 callback.
7408 [Richard Levitte]
7409
7410 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
7411 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
7412 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
7413 and interrupts/cancellations.
7414 [Richard Levitte]
7415
7416 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
7417 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
7418 [Steve Henson]
7419
7420 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
7421 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
7422 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
7423
7424 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
7425 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
7426 kind of callback.
7427 [Richard Levitte]
7428
7429 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
7430 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
7431 than this minimum value is recommended.
7432 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7433
7434 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
7435 that are easily reachable.
7436 [Richard Levitte]
7437
7438 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
7439 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
7440
7441 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
7442
7443 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
7444 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
7445 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
7446 needed for static libraries under Win32.
7447 [Steve Henson]
7448
7449 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
7450 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
7451 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
7452 [Steve Henson]
7453
7454 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
7455 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
7456 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
7457 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
7458 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
7459 internally such as S/MIME.
7460
7461 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
7462 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
7463 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
7464
7465 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
7466 applications.
7467 [Steve Henson]
7468
7469 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
7470 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
7471 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
7472 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
7473
7474 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7475
7476 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7477
7478 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7479 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7480 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7481 handling.
7482 [Steve Henson]
7483
7484 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7485 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7486 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7487 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7488 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7489 a window system and the like.
7490 [Richard Levitte]
7491
7492 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7493 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7494 [Geoff]
7495
7496 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7497 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7498 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7499 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7500 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7501 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7502 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7503 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7504 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7505 ENGINE structure.
7506 [Geoff]
7507
7508 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7509 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7510 tag cache.
7511 [Steve Henson]
7512
7513 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7514 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7515 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7516 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7517 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7518 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7519 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7520 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7521 [Geoff]
7522
7523 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7524 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7525 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7526 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7527 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7528 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7529 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7530 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7531 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7532 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7533 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7534 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7535 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7536 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7537 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7538 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7539 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7540 [Geoff]
7541
7542 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7543 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7544 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7545 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7546 internal engine_int.h header.
7547 [Geoff]
7548
7549 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7550 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7551 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7552 modify their own ones).
7553 [Geoff]
7554
7555 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7556 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7557 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7558 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7559 later on via ctrl() commands.
7560 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7561 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7562 structural references.
7563 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7564 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7565 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7566 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7567 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7568 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7569 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7570 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7571 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7572 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7573 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7574 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7575 [Geoff]
7576
7577 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7578 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7579 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7580 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7581 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7582 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7583 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7584 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7585 [Bodo Moeller]
7586
7587 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7588 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7589 [Steve Henson]
7590
7591 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7592 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7593 [Steve Henson]
7594
7595 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7596 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7597 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7598 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7599 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7600 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7601 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7602 [Steve Henson]
7603
7604 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7605 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7606 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7607 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7608 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7609
7610 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7611 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7612 generator).
7613 [Bodo Moeller]
7614
7615 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7616
7617 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7618 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7619 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7620
7621 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7622 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7623
7624 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7625 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7626 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7627
7628 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7629 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7630
7631 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7632 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7633
7634 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7635
7636 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7637 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7638 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7639 [Bodo Moeller]
7640
7641 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7642 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7643 [Richard Levitte]
7644
7645 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7646 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7647 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7648 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7649 is 40 of more characters long.
7650 [Steve Henson]
7651
7652 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7653 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7654 pointers.
7655 [Steve Henson]
7656
7657 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7658 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7659 [Bodo Moeller]
7660
7661 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7662 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7663 might.
7664 [Steve Henson]
7665
7666 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7667
7668 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7669 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7670
7671 ASN1 error codes
7672 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7673 ...
7674 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7675 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7676 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7677 ...
7678 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7679 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7680
7681 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7682 [Bodo Moeller]
7683
7684 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7685 suffices.
7686 [Bodo Moeller]
7687
7688 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7689 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7690 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7691 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7692 and
7693 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7694
7695 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7696 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7697
7698 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7699 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7700 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7701 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7702 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7703 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7704
7705 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7706 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7707
7708 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7709 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7710
7711 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7712 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7713
7714 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7715 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7716 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7717 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7718
7719 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7720 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7721
7722 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7723 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7724
7725 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7726 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7727 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7728 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7729 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7730 [Richard Levitte]
7731
7732 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7733 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7734 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7735 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7736 [Steve Henson]
7737
7738 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7739 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7740 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7741 trust settings.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743
7744 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7745 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7746 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7747 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7748 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7749 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7750 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7751 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7752 ocsp utility.
7753 [Steve Henson]
7754
7755 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7756 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7760 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7761 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7762 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7763 [Steve Henson]
7764
7765 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7766 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7767 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7768 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7769 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7770 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7771 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7772 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7773 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7774 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7775 [Steve Henson]
7776
7777 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7778 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7779 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7780 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7781 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7782 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7783 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7784 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7785
7786 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7787 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7788 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7789 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7790 [Richard Levitte]
7791
7792 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7793 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7794 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7795 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7796 opensslconf.h.
7797 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7798 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7799 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7800 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7801 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7802 what is available.
7803 [Richard Levitte]
7804
7805 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7806 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7807 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7808 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7809 auto incremented.
7810 [Steve Henson]
7811
7812 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7813 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7814 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7815 [Steve Henson]
7816
7817 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7818 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7819 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7820 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7821 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7822 [Steve Henson]
7823
7824 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7825 [Steve Henson]
7826
7827 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7828 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7829 option to ocsp utility.
7830 [Steve Henson]
7831
7832 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7833 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7834 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7835 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7836 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7837 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7838 the request is nonce-less.
7839 [Steve Henson]
7840
7841 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7842 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7843 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7844 [Bodo Moeller]
7845
7846 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7847 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7848 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7849 [Steve Henson]
7850
7851 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7852 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7853 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7854 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7855 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7856 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7857
7858 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7859 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7860 appear to exist.
7861 [Steve Henson]
7862
7863 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7864 additional certificates supplied.
7865 [Steve Henson]
7866
7867 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7868 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7869 signature against.
7870 [Richard Levitte]
7871
7872 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7873 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7874 AES OIDs.
7875
7876 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7877 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7878 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7879 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7880 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7881 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7882 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7883 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7884 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7885
7886 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7887 request to response.
7888 [Steve Henson]
7889
7890 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7891 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7892 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7893 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7894 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7895 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7896 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7897 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7898 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7899 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7900 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7901 [Steve Henson]
7902
7903 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7904 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7905 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7906 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7907 [Steve Henson]
7908
7909 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7910 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7911
7912 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7913 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7914 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7915 [Steve Henson]
7916
7917 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7918 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7919 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7920 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7921 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7922
7923 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7924 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7925 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7926 [Steve Henson]
7927
7928 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7929 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7930 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7931 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7932 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7933 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7934 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7935 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7936
7937 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7938 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7939 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7940 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7941 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7942 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7943 [Steve Henson]
7944
7945 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7946 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7947 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7948 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7949 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7950 printout format cleaned up.
7951 [Steve Henson]
7952
7953 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7954 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7955 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7956 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7957 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7958 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7959 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7960 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7961 [Steve Henson]
7962
7963 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7964 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7965 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7966 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7967 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7968 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7969 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7970 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7971 [Steve Henson]
7972
7973 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7974 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7975 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7976 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7977 section to use.
7978 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7979
7980 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7981 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7982 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7983 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7984 [Steve Henson]
7985
7986 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7987 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7988 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7989 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7990 in the index file.
7991 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7992
7993 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7994 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7995 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7996 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7997
7998 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7999 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
8000
8001 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
8002 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
8003 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
8004 [Steve Henson]
8005
8006 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
8007 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
8008 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
8009 [Bodo Moeller]
8010
8011 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
8012 file name and line number information in additional arguments
8013 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
8014 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
8015 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
8016 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
8017 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
8018 functions are provided:
8019
8020 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
8021 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
8022 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
8023 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
8024
8025 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
8026 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
8027 extended allocation function is enabled.
8028 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
8029 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
8030 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
8031
8032 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
8033 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
8034 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
8035 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
8036 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
8037 [Geoff Thorpe]
8038
8039 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
8040 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
8041 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
8042 be queried.
8043 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
8044 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
8045 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
8046 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8047
8048 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
8049 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
8050 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
8051 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
8052 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
8053 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
8054 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
8055 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
8056 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
8057 [Richard Levitte]
8058
8059 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
8060 provide utility functions which an application needing
8061 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
8062 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
8063 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
8064
8065 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
8066 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
8067 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
8068 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
8069 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
8070 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
8071 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
8072 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
8073 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
8074
8075 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
8076 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
8077 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
8078 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
8079 [Steve Henson]
8080
8081 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
8082 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
8083 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
8084 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
8085 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
8086 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
8087 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
8088 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
8089 will be added elsewhere.
8090 [Steve Henson]
8091
8092 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
8093 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
8094 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
8095 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
8096 [Steve Henson]
8097
8098 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
8099 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
8100 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
8101 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
8102 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
8103 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
8104 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
8105 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
8106 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
8107 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
8108 to produce the required SET OF.
8109 [Steve Henson]
8110
8111 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
8112 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
8113 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
8114 [Richard Levitte]
8115
8116 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
8117 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
8118 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
8119 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
8120 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
8121 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
8122 [Steve Henson]
8123
8124 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
8125 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
8126 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
8130 lines, recognize more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
8131 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
8132 [Richard Levitte]
8133
8134 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
8135 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
8136 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
8137 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
8138 code will still work when these eventually go away.
8139 [Steve Henson]
8140
8141 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
8142 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
8143 [Steve Henson]
8144
8145 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
8146 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
8147 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
8148 certificates and CRLs.
8149 [Steve Henson]
8150
8151 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
8152 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
8153 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
8154 [Steve Henson]
8155
8156 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
8157 entries for variables.
8158 [Steve Henson]
8159
8160 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
8161 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
8162 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
8163 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
8164 [Bodo Moeller]
8165
8166 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
8167 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
8168 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
8169 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
8170 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
8171 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
8172 [Bodo Moeller]
8173
8174 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
8175 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
8176
8177 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
8178 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
8179 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
8180 [Steve Henson]
8181
8182 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
8183 print routines.
8184 [Steve Henson]
8185
8186 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
8187 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
8188 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
8189 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
8190 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
8191 order did not reflect the encoded order.
8192 [Steve Henson]
8193
8194 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
8195 [Steve Henson]
8196
8197 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
8198 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
8199 for now but they will eventually go away.
8200 [Steve Henson]
8201
8202 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
8203 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
8204 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
8205 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
8206 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
8207 has also been converted to the new form.
8208 [Steve Henson]
8209
8210 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
8211 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
8212 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
8213 for negative moduli.
8214 [Bodo Moeller]
8215
8216 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
8217 of not touching the result's sign bit.
8218 [Bodo Moeller]
8219
8220 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
8221 set.
8222 [Bodo Moeller]
8223
8224 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
8225 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
8226 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
8227 type-specific callbacks.
8228 [Geoff Thorpe]
8229
8230 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
8231 RFC 2712.
8232 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
8233 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
8234
8235 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
8236 in sections depending on the subject.
8237 [Richard Levitte]
8238
8239 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
8240 Windows.
8241 [Richard Levitte]
8242
8243 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
8244 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
8245 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
8246 be handled deterministically).
8247 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8248
8249 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
8250 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
8251 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
8252 [Bodo Moeller]
8253
8254 *) New function BN_kronecker.
8255 [Bodo Moeller]
8256
8257 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
8258 positive unless both parameters are zero.
8259 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
8260 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
8261 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
8262 [Bodo Moeller]
8263
8264 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
8265 sign of the number in question.
8266
8267 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
8268
8269 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
8270 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
8271 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
8272 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
8273 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
8274 [Bodo Moeller]
8275
8276 *) New function BN_swap.
8277 [Bodo Moeller]
8278
8279 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
8280 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
8281 results on negative inputs.
8282 [Bodo Moeller]
8283
8284 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
8285 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
8286 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
8287 [Bodo Moeller]
8288
8289 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
8290 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
8291 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
8292 and add new functions:
8293
8294 BN_nnmod
8295 BN_mod_sqr
8296 BN_mod_add
8297 BN_mod_add_quick
8298 BN_mod_sub
8299 BN_mod_sub_quick
8300 BN_mod_lshift1
8301 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
8302 BN_mod_lshift
8303 BN_mod_lshift_quick
8304
8305 These functions always generate non-negative results.
8306
8307 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
8308 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
8309
8310 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
8311 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
8312 be reduced modulo m.
8313 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
8314
8315 #if 0
8316 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
8317 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
8318 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
8319
8320 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
8321 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
8322 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
8323 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
8324 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
8325 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
8326 differing sizes.
8327 [Richard Levitte]
8328 #endif
8329
8330 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
8331 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
8332 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
8333 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
8334 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
8335
8336 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
8337 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
8338 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
8339 cause any problems.
8340 [Bodo Moeller]
8341
8342 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
8343 [Richard Levitte]
8344
8345 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
8346 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
8347 [Richard Levitte]
8348
8349 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
8350 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
8351 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
8352 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
8353 time)
8354 [Richard Levitte]
8355
8356 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
8357 [Richard Levitte]
8358
8359 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
8360 [Richard Levitte]
8361
8362 *) Add the following functions:
8363
8364 ENGINE_load_cswift()
8365 ENGINE_load_chil()
8366 ENGINE_load_atalla()
8367 ENGINE_load_nuron()
8368 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
8369
8370 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
8371 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
8372 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
8373 libraries unless it's really needed.
8374
8375 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
8376 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
8377 declarations (they differed!).
8378 [Richard Levitte]
8379
8380 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
8381 [Richard Levitte]
8382
8383 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
8384 [Richard Levitte]
8385
8386 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
8387 [Bodo Moeller]
8388
8389 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
8390 identity, and test if they are actually available.
8391 [Richard Levitte]
8392
8393 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
8394 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
8395 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
8396
8397 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
8398 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
8399 [Richard Levitte]
8400
8401 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
8402 [Richard Levitte]
8403
8404 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
8405 [Richard Levitte]
8406
8407 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
8408 [Ben Laurie]
8409
8410 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
8411 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
8412 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
8413
8414 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
8415 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
8416 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
8417 different shared library filenames on each system.
8418 [Geoff Thorpe]
8419
8420 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
8421 [Richard Levitte]
8422
8423 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
8424 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
8425 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
8426 of two sections.
8427 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
8428
8429 *) NCONF changes.
8430 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
8431 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
8432 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
8433 binary backward compatibility.
8434 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
8435 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
8436 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
8437 LDAP server.
8438 [Richard Levitte]
8439
8440 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
8441 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
8442 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
8443 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
8444 this case.
8445 [Steve Henson]
8446
8447 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
8448 [Ben Laurie]
8449
8450 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
8451 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
8452 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
8453 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
8454 set.
8455 [Steve Henson]
8456
8457 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
8458 [Richard Levitte]
8459
8460 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
8461
8462 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
8463 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
8464 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
8465
8466 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
8467
8468 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
8469
8470 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
8471 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
8472 [Steve Henson]
8473
8474 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8475
8476 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8477
8478 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8479 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8480
8481 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8482 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8483
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8487 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8488 specifications.
8489 [Steve Henson]
8490
8491 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8492 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8493 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8494 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8495
8496 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8497 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8498 [Richard Levitte]
8499
8500 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8501
8502 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8503 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8504 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8505 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8506 [Bodo Moeller]
8507
8508 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8509 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8510 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8511 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8512 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8513
8514 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8515 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8516 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8517 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8518 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8519 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8520 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8521 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8522 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8523 [Bodo Moeller]
8524
8525 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8526
8527 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8528 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
8529 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8530 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8531 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8532
8533 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8534 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8535 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8536
8537 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8538
8539 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8540 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8541 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8542 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8543 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8544 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8545 [Geoff Thorpe]
8546
8547 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8548 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8549 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8550 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8551 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8552 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8553
8554 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8555 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8556 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8557
8558 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8559 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8560 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8561 EVP_cleanup().
8562 [Richard Levitte]
8563
8564 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8565 being properly terminated.
8566 [Richard Levitte]
8567
8568 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8569 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8570 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8571 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8572
8573 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8574 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8575 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8576 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8577 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8578 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8579 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8580 change.
8581 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8582
8583 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8584 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8585 [Bodo Moeller]
8586
8587 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8588 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8589 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8590 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8591 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8592 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8593 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8594 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8595
8596 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8597 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8598 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8599 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8600 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8601
8602 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8603 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8607
8608 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8609 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8610 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8611
8612 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8613
8614 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8615 and get fix the header length calculation.
8616 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8617 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8618 Steve Henson]
8619
8620 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8621 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8622 assertions could call abort()).
8623 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8624
8625 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8626
8627 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8628 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8629 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8630 supplied buffer.
8631 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8632
8633 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8634 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8635 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8636 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8637
8638 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8639 [Nils Larsch]
8640
8641 *) New option
8642 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8643 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8644 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8645
8646 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8647 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8648 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8649 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8650 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8651 applications.
8652 [Bodo Moeller]
8653
8654 *) Changes in security patch:
8655
8656 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8657 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8658 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8659 F30602-01-2-0537.
8660
8661 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8662 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8663 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8664 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8665 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8666
8667 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8668 happen in practice.
8669 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8670
8671 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8672 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8673 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8674
8675 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8676 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8677 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8678
8679 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8680 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8681 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8682
8683 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8684
8685 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8686 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8687 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8688
8689 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8690 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8691
8692 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8693 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8694 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8695 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8696 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8697 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8698 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8699
8700 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8701 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8702 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8703 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8704 [Bodo Moeller]
8705
8706 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8707 [Bodo Moeller]
8708
8709 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8710 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8711 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8712 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8713 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8714 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8715
8716 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8717 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8718 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8719 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8720 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8721 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8722
8723 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8724 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8725 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8726 BN_generate_prime().)
8727
8728 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8729 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8730 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8731 better.
8732 [Bodo Moeller]
8733
8734 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8735 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8736 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8737
8738 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8739 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8740 when using non-blocking I/O.
8741 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8742
8743 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8744 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8745
8746 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8747 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8749
8750 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8751 configuration for the versions before that.
8752 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8753
8754 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8755 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8756 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8757 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8758 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8759
8760 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8761 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8762 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8763 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8764
8765 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8766 value is 0.
8767 [Richard Levitte]
8768
8769 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8770 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8771 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8772
8773 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8774 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8775
8776 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8777 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8778 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8779 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8780 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8781 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8782 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8783 session cache.
8784
8785 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8786 using a local variable.
8787 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8788
8789 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8790 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8791 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8792
8793 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8794 [Richard Levitte]
8795
8796 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8797 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8798
8799 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8800 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8801 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8802
8803 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8804
8805 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8806 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8807 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8808 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8809 [Bodo Moeller]
8810
8811 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8812 present.
8813 [Steve Henson]
8814
8815 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8816 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8817 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8818 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8819 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8820
8821 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8822 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8823 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8824
8825 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8826 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8827 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8828
8829 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8830 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8831 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8832 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8833
8834 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8835 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8836 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8837 modules).
8838 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8839
8840 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8841 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8842 from 0.9.7.
8843 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8844
8845 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8846 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8847 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8848 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8849
8850 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8851 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8852 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8853 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8854
8855 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8856 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8857
8858 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8859 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8860 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8861 [Bodo Moeller]
8862
8863 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8864 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8865 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8866 become invalid.
8867 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8868
8869 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8870 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8871 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8872 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8873 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8874 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8875 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8876 [Bodo Moeller]
8877
8878 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8879 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8880 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8881 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8882
8883 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8884 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8885 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8886 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8887 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8888 the client will at least see that alert.
8889 [Bodo Moeller]
8890
8891 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8892 correctly.
8893 [Bodo Moeller]
8894
8895 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8896 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8897 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8898
8899 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8900 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8901 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8902 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8903 HelloRequest.
8904
8905 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8906 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8907 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8908
8909 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8910 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8911 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8912 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8913 may leak via logfiles.)
8914
8915 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8916 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8917 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8918 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8919 the legal range.
8920 [Bodo Moeller]
8921
8922 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8923 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8924 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8925
8926 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8927 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8928 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8929 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8930 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8931 [Bodo Moeller]
8932
8933 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8934 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8935
8936 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8937 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8938 followed by modular reduction.
8939 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8940
8941 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8942 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8943 [Bodo Moeller]
8944
8945 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8946 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8947 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8948 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8949 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8950
8951 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8952 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8953
8954 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8955 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8956 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8957
8958 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8959 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8960 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8961 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8962 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8963 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8964 automatically.
8965 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8966
8967 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8968 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8969 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8970 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8971 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8972
8973 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8974 [Andy Polyakov]
8975
8976 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8977 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8978 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8979 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8980 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8981 to allow the necessary settings.
8982 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8983
8984 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8985 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8986 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8987 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8988 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8989
8990 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8991 dh->length and always used
8992
8993 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8994
8995 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8996 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8997 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8998 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8999 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
9000 dh->length.
9001
9002 So switch back to
9003
9004 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
9005
9006 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
9007 otherwise.
9008 [Bodo Moeller]
9009
9010 *) In
9011
9012 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
9013 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
9014 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
9015 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
9016
9017 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
9018 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
9019 always reject numbers >= n.
9020 [Bodo Moeller]
9021
9022 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
9023 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
9024 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
9025 variable) is not atomic.
9026 [Bodo Moeller]
9027
9028 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
9029 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
9030 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
9031 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
9032
9033 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
9034 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
9035
9036 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
9037 little-endian MIPS.
9038 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
9039
9040 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
9041 [Richard Levitte]
9042
9043 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
9044
9045 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
9046 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
9047 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
9048 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
9049 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
9050 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
9051 to traverse all of 'state'.
9052
9053 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
9054 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
9055 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
9056
9057 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
9058 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
9059
9060 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
9061 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
9062 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
9063 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
9064 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
9065 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
9066 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
9067 further strengthens the PRNG.
9068 [Bodo Moeller]
9069
9070 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
9071 [Andy Polyakov]
9072
9073 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
9074 an error message in this case.
9075 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9076
9077 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
9078 [Steve Henson]
9079
9080 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
9081 positive and less than q.
9082 [Bodo Moeller]
9083
9084 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
9085 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
9086 that itself.
9087 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
9088
9089 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
9090 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
9091 [Bodo Moeller]
9092
9093 *) Fix OAEP check.
9094 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9095
9096 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
9097 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
9098 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
9099 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
9100 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
9101 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
9102 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
9103 paper.)
9104
9105 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
9106 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
9107 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
9108 detect the supposedly ignored error.
9109
9110 Both problems are now fixed.
9111 [Bodo Moeller]
9112
9113 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
9114 (previously it was 1024).
9115 [Bodo Moeller]
9116
9117 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
9118 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
9119 [Steve Henson]
9120
9121 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
9122 [Steve Henson]
9123
9124 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
9125 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
9126 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
9127 [Steve Henson]
9128
9129 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
9130 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
9131 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
9132 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
9133 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
9134 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
9135 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
9136 environment variables.
9137
9138 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
9139 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
9140 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
9141 [Bodo Moeller]
9142
9143 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
9144 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
9145 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
9146 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
9147 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
9148 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
9149 [Bodo Moeller]
9150
9151 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
9152 versions of 'test'.
9153 [Bodo Moeller]
9154
9155 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
9156
9157 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
9158 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
9159
9160 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
9161 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
9162 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
9163 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
9164 CygWin.
9165 [Richard Levitte]
9166
9167 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
9168 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
9169 amount of data available.
9170 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
9171 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9172
9173 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
9174 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
9175 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
9176 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
9177 [Bodo Moeller]
9178
9179 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
9180 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
9181 and UnixWare.
9182 [Richard Levitte]
9183
9184 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
9185 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
9186 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
9187 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
9188 [Ulf Moeller]
9189
9190 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
9191 [Andy Polyakov]
9192
9193 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
9194 [Richard Levitte]
9195
9196 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
9197 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
9198 [Steve Henson]
9199 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9200
9201 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
9202 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
9203 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
9204 (but broken) behaviour.
9205 [Steve Henson]
9206
9207 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
9208 it when found.
9209 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
9210
9211 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
9212 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
9213 [Bodo Moeller]
9214
9215 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
9216 did not exist.
9217 [Bodo Moeller]
9218
9219 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
9220 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
9221
9222 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
9223 [Richard Levitte]
9224
9225 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
9226 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
9227 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
9228
9229 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
9230 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
9231 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
9232 [Steve Henson]
9233
9234 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
9235 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
9236 [Ulf Moeller]
9237
9238 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
9239 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
9240
9241 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
9242
9243 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
9244
9245 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
9246 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
9247 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
9248 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
9249 [Bodo Moeller]
9250
9251 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
9252 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9253
9254 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
9255 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
9256 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9257
9258 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
9259 was empty.
9260 [Steve Henson]
9261 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9262
9263 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
9264 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
9265 but the code is actually correct.
9266 [Steve Henson]
9267
9268 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
9269 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
9270 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
9271 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
9272 and leaves the highest bit random.
9273 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9274
9275 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
9276 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
9277 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
9278 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
9279 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
9280 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
9281 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
9282 [Bodo Moeller]
9283
9284 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
9285 [Ulf Moeller]
9286
9287 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
9288 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
9289 [Steve Henson]
9290
9291 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
9292 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
9293 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
9294 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
9295 headers.
9296 [Richard Levitte]
9297
9298 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
9299 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
9300 and break the signature.
9301 [Steve Henson]
9302 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
9303
9304 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
9305 DH ciphersuites.
9306 [Steve Henson]
9307
9308 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
9309 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
9310 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
9311 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
9312 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
9313 [Bodo Moeller]
9314
9315 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
9316 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
9317
9318 *) ./config script fixes.
9319 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
9320
9321 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
9322 [Bodo Moeller]
9323
9324 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
9325 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
9326 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
9327 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
9328 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
9329
9330 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
9331 call failed, free the DSA structure.
9332 [Bodo Moeller]
9333
9334 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
9335 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
9336 [Steve Henson]
9337
9338 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
9339 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
9340 when writing a 32767 byte record.
9341 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
9342
9343 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
9344 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
9345
9346 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
9347 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
9348 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
9349 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
9350 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
9351
9352 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
9353 [Bodo Moeller]
9354
9355 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
9356 [Ulf Möller]
9357
9358 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
9359 [Ulf Möller]
9360
9361 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
9362 [Bodo Moeller]
9363
9364 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
9365 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
9366 [Bodo Moeller]
9367
9368 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
9369 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
9370 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
9371 result of the server certificate verification.)
9372 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9373
9374 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
9375 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
9376 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
9377 [Bodo Moeller]
9378
9379 *) Fix SSL_peek:
9380 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
9381 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
9382 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
9383 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
9384 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
9385 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
9386 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
9387 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
9388 [Bodo Moeller]
9389
9390 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
9391 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
9392 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
9393 happening the other way round.
9394 [Geoff Thorpe]
9395
9396 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
9397 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
9398 [Bodo Moeller]
9399
9400 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
9401 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
9402 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
9403 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
9404 [Richard Levitte]
9405
9406 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
9407 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
9408
9409 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
9410
9411 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
9412 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
9413 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
9414 that.
9415
9416 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
9417
9418 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
9419
9420 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
9421 static ones.
9422 [Richard Levitte]
9423
9424 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
9425
9426 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
9427 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
9428 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
9429 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
9430 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
9431
9432 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
9433 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
9434 matter what.
9435 [Richard Levitte]
9436
9437 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
9438 [Lutz Jaenicke]
9439
9440 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
9441
9442 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
9443 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
9444 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
9445 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
9446 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
9447 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
9448 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
9449 by the Finished messages.
9450 [Bodo Moeller]
9451
9452 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
9453 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
9454
9455 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
9456 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
9457 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
9458 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
9459 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
9460 appropriately.
9461 [Steve Henson]
9462
9463 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
9464 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
9465 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
9466 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
9467 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
9468 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
9469 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
9470 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
9471 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
9472 together.
9473 [Steve Henson]
9474
9475 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9476 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9477 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9478 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9479
9480 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9481 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9482 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9483 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9484 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9485 the answer.
9486
9487 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9488 been tested well enough.
9489 [Richard Levitte]
9490
9491 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9492 it can return incorrect results.
9493 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9494 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9495 [Bodo Moeller]
9496
9497 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9498 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9499 include zero length content when signing messages.
9500 [Steve Henson]
9501
9502 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9503 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9504 [Bodo Möller]
9505
9506 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9507 [Richard Levitte]
9508
9509 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9510 wrong sign.
9511 [Ulf Möller]
9512
9513 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9514 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9515 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9516 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9517 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9518 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9519 [Richard Levitte]
9520
9521 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9522 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9523
9524 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9525 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9526
9527 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9528 random number < q in the DSA library.
9529 [Ulf Möller]
9530
9531 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9532 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9533 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9534 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9535 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9536 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9537 just makes things more complicated.)
9538 [Bodo Moeller]
9539
9540 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9541 from EGD.
9542 [Ben Laurie]
9543
9544 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9545 work better on such systems.
9546 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9547
9548 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9549 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9550 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9551 [Steve Henson]
9552
9553 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9554 if there was more than one signature.
9555 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9556
9557 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9558 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9559 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9560 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9561 [Richard Levitte]
9562
9563 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9564 rather than always using the current time.
9565 [Steve Henson]
9566
9567 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9568 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9569 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9570 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9571 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9572 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9573
9574 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9575 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9576
9577 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9578
9579 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9580 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9581 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9582 the same hash value.
9583
9584 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9585 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9586 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9587 with X509_STORE internally.
9588
9589 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9590 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9591
9592 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9593 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9594 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9595 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9596 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9597 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9598 entirely (maybe later...).
9599
9600 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9601
9602 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9603 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9604 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9605 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9606 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9607 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9608 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9609 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9610
9611 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9612 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9613
9614 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9615 to customise the verify behaviour.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9619 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9620 [Steve Henson]
9621
9622 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9623 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9624 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9625 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9626 request is improperly encoded.
9627 [Steve Henson]
9628
9629 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9630 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9631 BIO_write(b, ...).
9632
9633 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9634 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9635
9636 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9637 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9638 words set to zero.)
9639 [Bodo Moeller]
9640
9641 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9642 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9643 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9644 [Bodo Moeller]
9645
9646 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9647 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9648 BIO/fp routines also added.
9649 [Steve Henson]
9650
9651 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9652 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9653
9654 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9655 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9656 demos/state_machine.
9657 [Ben Laurie]
9658
9659 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9660 generation and verification.
9661 [Steve Henson]
9662
9663 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9664 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9665 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9666 encode and decode it manually.
9667 [Steve Henson]
9668
9669 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9670 compile under VC++.
9671 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9672
9673 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9674 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9675 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9676 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9677
9678 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9679 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9680 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9681 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9682 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9683 [Steve Henson]
9684
9685 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9686 [Richard Levitte]
9687
9688 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the strings written
9689 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9690 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9691
9692 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9693 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9694 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9695 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9696 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9697 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9698 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9699 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9700
9701 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9702 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9703
9704 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9705
9706 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9707 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9708 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9709
9710 [Richard Levitte]
9711
9712 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9713 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9714 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9715 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9716 [Richard Levitte]
9717
9718 *) MD4 implemented.
9719 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9720
9721 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9722 [Richard Levitte]
9723
9724 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9725 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9726 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9727 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9728 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9729 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9730 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9731 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9732 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9733 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9734 short or long names are found.
9735 [Steve Henson]
9736
9737 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9738 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9739
9740 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9741 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9742 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9743 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9744
9745 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9746 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9747 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9748 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9749 [Bodo Moeller]
9750
9751 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9752 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9753 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9754 [Richard Levitte]
9755
9756 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9757 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9758 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9759 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9760 to allow the various flags to be set.
9761 [Steve Henson]
9762
9763 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9764 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9765 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9766 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9767 dates to be checked.
9768 [Steve Henson]
9769
9770 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9771 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9772 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9773 [Steve Henson]
9774
9775 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9776 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9777 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9778 [Steve Henson]
9779
9780 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9781 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9782 [Bodo Moeller]
9783
9784 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9785 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9786 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9787 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9788 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9789 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9790 [Richard Levitte]
9791
9792 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9793 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9794 Random Numbers.
9795 [Ulf Möller]
9796
9797 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9798 DSA key.
9799 [Steve Henson]
9800
9801 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9802 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9803 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9804 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9805 form signing output easier to verify.
9806 [Steve Henson]
9807
9808 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9809 [Steve Henson]
9810
9811 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9812 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9813 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9814 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9815 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9816 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9817 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9818 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9819 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9820 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9821 [Steve Henson]
9822
9823 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9824
9825 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9826 the syntax given in objects.README.
9827 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9828 obj_mac.h.
9829 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9830 obj_mac.h.
9831
9832 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9833 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9834 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9835 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9836 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9837 consistent name changes.
9838 [Richard Levitte]
9839
9840 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9841 [Bodo Moeller]
9842
9843 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9844 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9845 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9846 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9847 [Richard Levitte]
9848
9849 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9850 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9851 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9852 of safestack.h .
9853 [Steve Henson]
9854
9855 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9856 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9857 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9858 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9859 [Steve Henson]
9860
9861 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9862 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9863 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9864 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9865 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9866 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9867 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9868 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9869 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9870 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9871 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9872 [Steve Henson]
9873
9874 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9875 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9876 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9877 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9878 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9879 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9880 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9881 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9882 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9883 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9884 [Steve Henson]
9885
9886 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9887 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9888 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9889 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9890
9891 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9892 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9893 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9894 omit any duplicate addresses.
9895 [Steve Henson]
9896
9897 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9898 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9899 [Bodo Moeller]
9900
9901 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9902 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9903 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9904 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9905 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9906 [Bodo Moeller]
9907
9908 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9909 software:
9910 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9911 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9912 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9913 Free => OPENSSL_free
9914 [Richard Levitte]
9915
9916 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9917 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9918 [Bodo Moeller]
9919
9920 *) CygWin32 support.
9921 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9922
9923 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9924 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9925 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9926 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9927 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9928 approach.
9929 [Geoff Thorpe]
9930
9931 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9932 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9933 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9934 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9935 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9936 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9937 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9938 [Geoff Thorpe]
9939
9940 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9941 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9942 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9943 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9944 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9945 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9946 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9947 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9948 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9949 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9950 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9951 [Bodo Moeller]
9952
9953 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9954 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9955 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9956 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9957 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9958
9959 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9960 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9961 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9962 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9963 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9964
9965 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9966 ciphers.
9967
9968 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9969 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9970 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9971 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9972
9973 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9974
9975 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9976 of macros.
9977
9978 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9979 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9980 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9981 flags.
9982
9983 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9984 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9985 any installed hardware versions can.
9986 [Steve Henson]
9987
9988 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9989 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9990 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9991 number.
9992 [Bodo Moeller]
9993
9994 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9995 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9996 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9997 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9998 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9999
10000 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
10001 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
10002 [Steve Henson]
10003
10004 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
10005 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
10006 [Richard Levitte]
10007
10008 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
10009 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
10010 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
10011 features.
10012 [Steve Henson]
10013
10014 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
10015 [Ulf Möller]
10016
10017 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
10018 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
10019 but no ssl client purpose.
10020 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
10021
10022 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
10023 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
10024 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
10025 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
10026 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
10027 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
10028 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
10029 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
10030 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
10031 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
10032 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
10033 [Steve Henson]
10034
10035 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
10036 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
10037 be obtained from the error queue.
10038 [Bodo Moeller]
10039
10040 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
10041 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
10042 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
10043 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
10044 [Bodo Moeller]
10045
10046 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
10047 [Ulf Möller]
10048
10049 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
10050 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
10051 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
10052 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
10053 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
10054 [Geoff Thorpe]
10055
10056 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
10057 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
10058 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
10059 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
10060 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
10061 [Geoff Thorpe]
10062
10063 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
10064 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
10065 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
10066 may not be NULL.
10067 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
10068
10069 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
10070 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
10071 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
10072 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
10073 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
10074 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
10075 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
10076 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
10077 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
10078 or "the configuration storage API"...
10079
10080 The new configuration file reading functions are:
10081
10082 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
10083 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
10084
10085 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
10086
10087 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
10088
10089 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
10090 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
10091 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
10092 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
10093 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
10094 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
10095 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
10096
10097 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
10098 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
10099 [Richard Levitte]
10100
10101 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
10102 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
10103 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
10104 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
10105 [Bodo Moeller]
10106
10107 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
10108 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
10109 them in a portable way.
10110 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
10111
10112 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
10113
10114 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
10115
10116 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
10117 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
10118
10119 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
10120 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
10121 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
10122 <attili@amaxo.com>]
10123
10124 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
10125 was larger than the MD block size.
10126 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
10127
10128 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
10129 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
10130 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
10131 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
10132 components.
10133 [Steve Henson]
10134
10135 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
10136 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
10137 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
10138
10139 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
10140 discouraged.
10141 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
10142
10143 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
10144 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
10145 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
10146 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
10147 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
10148 Additional arguments are always ignored.
10149
10150 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
10151 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
10152
10153 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
10154 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
10155 [Bodo Moeller]
10156
10157 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
10158 [Bodo Moeller]
10159
10160 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
10161 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
10162 its own key.
10163 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
10164 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
10165 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
10166 you effectively got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
10167 [Bodo Moeller]
10168
10169 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
10170 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
10171 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
10172 does not suppress any output.
10173 [Richard Levitte]
10174
10175 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
10176 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
10177 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
10178 with all the associated security issues.
10179
10180 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
10181 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
10182 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
10183 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
10184 use the value in the default purpose.
10185 [Steve Henson]
10186
10187 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
10188 and fix a memory leak.
10189 [Steve Henson]
10190
10191 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
10192 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
10193 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
10194 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
10195 [Bodo Moeller]
10196
10197 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
10198 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
10199 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
10200 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
10201 [Bodo Moeller]
10202
10203 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
10204 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
10205 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
10206 [Bodo Moeller]
10207
10208 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
10209 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
10210 [Bodo Moeller]
10211
10212 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
10213 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
10214 which was free.
10215 [Steve Henson]
10216
10217 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
10218 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
10219 [Bodo Moeller]
10220
10221 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
10222 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
10223 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
10224 [Bodo Moeller]
10225
10226 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
10227 number generation fails.
10228 [Bodo Moeller]
10229
10230 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
10231 [Bodo Moeller]
10232
10233 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
10234 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
10235
10236 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
10237 [Ulf Möller]
10238
10239 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
10240 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
10241
10242 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
10243 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
10244
10245 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
10246
10247 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
10248 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
10249 [Steve Henson]
10250
10251 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
10252 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
10253
10254 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
10255 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
10256 [Ulf Möller]
10257
10258 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
10259 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
10260 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
10261 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
10262 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
10263 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
10264
10265 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
10266 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
10267 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
10268 for example.
10269 [Steve Henson]
10270
10271 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
10272 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
10273 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
10274 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
10275 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
10276 counter, some don't.)
10277 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
10278 counters or duplicate objects.
10279 [Steve Henson]
10280
10281 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
10282 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
10283 [Steve Henson]
10284
10285 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
10286 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
10287 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
10288
10289 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
10290 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
10291 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
10292 or -rand.
10293 [Ulf Möller]
10294
10295 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
10296 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
10297 [Steve Henson]
10298
10299 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
10300 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
10301 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
10302 cipher list.
10303 [Steve Henson]
10304
10305 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
10306 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
10307 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
10308 [Steve Henson]
10309
10310 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
10311 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
10312 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
10313 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
10314 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
10315 should work without changes.
10316 [Richard Levitte]
10317
10318 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
10319 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
10320 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
10321 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
10322 must be defined. E.g.,
10323 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
10324 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
10325 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
10326 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
10327
10328 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
10329 record layer.
10330 [Bodo Moeller]
10331
10332 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
10333 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
10334 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
10335 [Steve Henson]
10336
10337 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
10338 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
10339 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
10340 request header lines. Some software needs this.
10341 [Steve Henson]
10342
10343 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
10344 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
10345 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
10346 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
10347 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
10348 is prompted for as usual.
10349 [Steve Henson]
10350
10351 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
10352 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
10353 autodetect the card and use it if present.
10354 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
10355
10356 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
10357 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
10358 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
10359 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
10360 [Steve Henson]
10361
10362 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
10363 [Andy Polyakov]
10364
10365 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
10366 of seed file.
10367 [Steve Henson]
10368
10369 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
10370 [Bodo Moeller]
10371
10372 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
10373 [Steve Henson]
10374
10375 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
10376 bits.
10377 [Ulf Möller]
10378
10379 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
10380 [Ulf Möller]
10381
10382 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
10383 [Andy Polyakov]
10384
10385 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divisor are
10386 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
10387 [Ulf Möller]
10388
10389 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
10390 options to produce them.
10391 [Steve Henson]
10392
10393 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
10394 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
10395 [Ulf Möller]
10396
10397 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
10398 for p == 0.
10399 [Ulf Möller]
10400
10401 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
10402 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
10403 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
10404 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
10405 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
10406 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
10407 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
10408 [Steve Henson]
10409
10410 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
10411 [Steve Henson]
10412
10413 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
10414 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
10415 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
10416 [Bodo Moeller]
10417
10418 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
10419 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
10420
10421 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
10422 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
10423 [Ulf Möller]
10424
10425 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
10426 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
10427 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
10428 has already seen).
10429 [Bodo Moeller]
10430
10431 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
10432 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
10433
10434 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
10435 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
10436 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
10437 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
10438 generation becomes much faster.
10439
10440 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
10441 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
10442 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
10443 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
10444 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
10445 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
10446 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
10447 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
10448 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
10449 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
10450 [Bodo Moeller]
10451
10452 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
10453 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
10454 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
10455 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
10456 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
10457 trial division stage.
10458 [Bodo Moeller]
10459
10460 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
10461 as ASN1_TIME.
10462 [Steve Henson]
10463
10464 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
10465 [Steve Henson]
10466
10467 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
10468 [Ulf Möller]
10469
10470 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
10471 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
10472 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
10473 the comments.
10474 [Ulf Möller]
10475
10476 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10477 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10478 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10479 [Bodo Moeller]
10480
10481 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10482 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10483 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10484 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10485
10486 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10487 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10488 [Steve Henson]
10489
10490 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10491 [Ulf Möller]
10492
10493 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10494 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10495 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10496 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10497 [Ulf Möller]
10498
10499 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10500 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10501 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10502 [Ulf Möller]
10503
10504 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10505 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10506 (instead of parameters) in future.
10507 [Steve Henson]
10508
10509 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10510 when a new cipher list is set.
10511 [Steve Henson]
10512
10513 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10514 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10515 wrong.
10516
10517 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10518 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10519 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10520
10521 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10522 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10523 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10524 an error is flagged.
10525
10526 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10527 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10528 the readability was also increased :-)
10529 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10530
10531 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10532 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10533 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10534 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10535 as the root CA.
10536 [Steve Henson]
10537
10538 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10539 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10540 [Steve Henson]
10541
10542 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10543 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10544 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10545 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10546 instead.
10547
10548 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10549 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10550 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10551 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10552 because they handle more complex structures.)
10553 [Steve Henson]
10554
10555 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10556 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10557 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10558 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10559
10560 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10561 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10562 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10563 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10564 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10565 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10566 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10567 [Ulf Möller]
10568
10569 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10570 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10571 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10572 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10573 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10574 [Bodo Moeller]
10575
10576 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10577 [Bodo Moeller]
10578
10579 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10580 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10581 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10582 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10583 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10584 to use this.
10585
10586 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10587 code.
10588 [Steve Henson]
10589
10590 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10591 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10592 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10593 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10594 [Steve Henson]
10595
10596 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10597 [Ulf Möller]
10598
10599 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10600 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10601 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10602 international characters are used.
10603
10604 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10605 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10606 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10607 in ASN1 order.
10608 [Steve Henson]
10609
10610 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10611 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10612 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10613 request.
10614
10615 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10616 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10617 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10618 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10619 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10620 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10621
10622 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10623 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10624 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10625 be handled by the string table functions.
10626
10627 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10628 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10629 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10630 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10631 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10632 types at all.
10633 [Steve Henson]
10634
10635 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10636 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10637 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10638 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10639 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10640
10641 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10642 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10643 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10644 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10645 [Bodo Moeller]
10646
10647 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10648 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10649 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10650 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10651 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10652 SHA1.
10653 [Andy Polyakov]
10654
10655 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10656 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10657 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10658 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10659 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10660 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10661 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10662 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10663
10664 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10665 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10666 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10667 [Steve Henson]
10668
10669 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10670 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10671 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10672 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10673 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10674 support to pkcs8 application.
10675 [Steve Henson]
10676
10677 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10678 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10679 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10680 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10681 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10682 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10683 [Bodo Moeller]
10684
10685 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10686 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10687 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10688 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10689 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10690 consistency.
10691 [Bodo Moeller]
10692
10693 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10694 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10695 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10696 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10697 example.
10698 [Steve Henson]
10699
10700 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10701 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10702 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10703 and any application specific purposes.
10704
10705 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10706 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10707 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10708 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10709 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10710 if the certificate is self signed.
10711 [Steve Henson]
10712
10713 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10714 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10715 [Steve Henson]
10716
10717 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10718 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10719 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10720 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10721 [Steve Henson]
10722
10723 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10724 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10725 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10726 Update documentation.
10727 [Steve Henson]
10728
10729 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10730 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10731 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10732 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10733 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10734 [Steve Henson]
10735
10736 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10737 for details.
10738 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10739
10740 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10741 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10742 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10743 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10744 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10745 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10746 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10747 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10748 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10749 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10750
10751 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10752
10753 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10754 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10755 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10756 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10757 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10758
10759 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10760 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10761 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10762 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10763 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10764 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10765 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10766 request additional information:
10767 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10768 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10769
10770 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10771 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10772 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10773 options.
10774
10775 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10776 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10777
10778 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10779 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10780 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10781
10782 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10783 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10784
10785 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10786 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10787 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10788 algorithm.
10789 [Steve Henson]
10790
10791 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10792 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10793 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10794
10795 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10796 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10797 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10798 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10799 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10800 included in OpenSSL.
10801 [Steve Henson]
10802
10803 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10804 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10805 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10806 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10807 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10808 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10809 [Bodo Moeller]
10810
10811 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10812 PKCS12 structure.
10813 [Steve Henson]
10814
10815 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10816 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10817 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10818 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10819 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10820 structure.
10821 [Steve Henson]
10822
10823 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10824 need initialising.
10825 [Steve Henson]
10826
10827 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10828 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10829 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10830 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10831 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10832 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10833 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10834 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10835 be maintained manually.
10836
10837 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10838 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10839 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10840 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10841 work because people forget to call this function]
10842 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10843 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10844 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10845 [Steve Henson]
10846
10847 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10848 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10849 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10850 should be discouraged from doing it.
10851 [Ben Laurie]
10852
10853 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10854 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10855 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10856 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10857 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10858 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10859 [Steve Henson]
10860
10861 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10862 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10863 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10864
10865 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10866 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10867 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10868
10869 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10870 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10871 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10872 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10873 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10874 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10875
10876 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10877 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10878 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10879
10880 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10881 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10882 and vice versa.
10883
10884 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10885 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10886 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10887 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10888 [Steve Henson]
10889
10890 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10891 [Steve Henson]
10892
10893 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10894 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10895 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10896 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10897 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10898 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10899 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10900 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10901 keys so we should be OK.
10902
10903 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10904 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10905 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10906 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10907 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10908 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10909 stay in the name of compatibility.
10910
10911 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10912 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10913 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10914
10915 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10916 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10917 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10918 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10919 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10920 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10921 supplied key).
10922 [Steve Henson]
10923
10924 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10925 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10926 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10927 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10928 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10929 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10930 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10931 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10932 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10933 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10934 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10935 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10936 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10937 [Steve Henson]
10938
10939 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10940 [Steve Henson]
10941
10942 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10943 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10944 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10945 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10946 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10947 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10948 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10949 openssl verify ss.pem
10950 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10951 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10952 is OK.
10953 [Steve Henson]
10954
10955 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10956 (and add it to external session representation).
10957 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10958 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10959 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10960 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10961 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10962 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10963 security holes.
10964 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10965
10966 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10967 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10968 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10969 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10970
10971 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10972 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10973 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10974 [Steve Henson]
10975
10976 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10977 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10978 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10979 code.
10980 [Steve Henson]
10981
10982 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10983 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10984 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10985
10986 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10987 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10988 certificate auxiliary information.
10989 [Steve Henson]
10990
10991 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10992 the 'enc' command.
10993 [Steve Henson]
10994
10995 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10996 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10997 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10998 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10999 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
11000 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
11001 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
11002 [Richard Levitte]
11003
11004 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
11005 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
11006 [Steve Henson]
11007
11008 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
11009 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
11010 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
11011 manpages and fix a few bugs.
11012 [Steve Henson]
11013
11014 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
11015 [Steve Henson]
11016
11017 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
11018 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
11019 [Steve Henson]
11020
11021 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
11022 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
11023 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
11024 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
11025 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
11026 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
11027 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
11028 using the new 'x509' options.
11029
11030 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
11031 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
11032 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
11033 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
11034 for all purposes.
11035 [Steve Henson]
11036
11037 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
11038 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
11039 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
11040 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
11041 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
11042 [Mark Cox]
11043
11044 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
11045 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
11046 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
11047 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
11048 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
11049 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
11050 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
11051 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
11052 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
11053 the key length and effective key length are equal.
11054 [Steve Henson]
11055
11056 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
11057 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
11058 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
11059 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
11060 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
11061 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
11062 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
11063 [Steve Henson]
11064
11065 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
11066 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
11067 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
11068 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
11069 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
11070 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
11071 openssl.cnf for more info.
11072 [Steve Henson]
11073
11074 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
11075 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
11076 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
11077 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
11078 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
11079 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
11080 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
11081 md should be large enough anyway.
11082 [Bodo Moeller]
11083
11084 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
11085 for handling the random seed file.
11086
11087 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
11088 ca,
11089 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
11090 s_client,
11091 s_server,
11092 x509 (when signing).
11093 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
11094 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
11095 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
11096
11097 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
11098 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
11099 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
11100 that support '-rand'.
11101 [Bodo Moeller]
11102
11103 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
11104 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
11105 [Bodo Moeller]
11106
11107 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
11108 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
11109 [Bill Perry]
11110
11111 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
11112 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
11113 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
11114 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
11115 is suitable.
11116 [Steve Henson]
11117
11118 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
11119 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
11120 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
11121 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
11122 [Steve Henson]
11123
11124 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
11125 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
11126 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
11127 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
11128 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
11129 print out all the purposes.
11130 [Steve Henson]
11131
11132 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
11133 functions.
11134 [Steve Henson]
11135
11136 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
11137 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
11138 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
11139 single function call.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
11143 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
11144 [Andy Polyakov]
11145
11146 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
11147 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
11148 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
11149 [Steve Henson]
11150
11151 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
11152 when producing the local key id.
11153 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11154
11155 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
11156 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
11157 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
11158 "server.pem".
11159 [Steve Henson]
11160
11161 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
11162 a public key to be input or output. For example:
11163 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
11164 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
11165 [Steve Henson]
11166
11167 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
11168 in the message. This was handled by allowing
11169 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
11170 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
11171
11172 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
11173 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
11174 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
11175 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11176
11177 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
11178 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
11179 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
11180 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
11181 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
11182 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
11183 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
11184 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
11185 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
11186 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
11187 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
11188 trivial: move one line.
11189 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
11190
11191 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
11192 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
11193 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
11194 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
11195 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
11196 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
11197 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
11198 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
11199 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
11200 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
11201 with an event loop for example.
11202 [Steve Henson]
11203
11204 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
11205 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
11206 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
11207 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
11208 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
11209 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
11210 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
11211 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
11212 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
11213 [Steve Henson]
11214
11215 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
11216 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
11217 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
11218 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
11219 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
11220 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
11221 [Steve Henson]
11222
11223 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
11224 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
11225 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
11226 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
11227
11228 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
11229 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
11230 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
11231 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
11232 key generation.
11233 [Steve Henson]
11234
11235 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
11236 (still largely untested)
11237 [Bodo Moeller]
11238
11239 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
11240 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
11241 [Steve Henson]
11242
11243 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
11244 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
11245 [Steve Henson]
11246
11247 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
11248 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
11249 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
11250 [Bodo Moeller]
11251
11252 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
11253 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
11254 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
11255 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
11256 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
11257 [Steve Henson]
11258
11259 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
11260 [Andy Polyakov]
11261
11262 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
11263 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
11264 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
11265 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
11266 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
11267 in ca.
11268 [Steve Henson]
11269
11270 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
11271 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
11272 1.OU="Unit name 1"
11273 2.OU="Unit name 2"
11274 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
11278 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
11279 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
11280 are otherwise ignored at present.
11281 [Steve Henson]
11282
11283 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
11284 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
11285 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
11286 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
11287 copied until the next read.
11288 [Steve Henson]
11289
11290 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
11291 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
11292 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
11293 [Steve Henson]
11294
11295 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
11296 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
11297 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
11298 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
11299 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
11300 associated functions.
11301 [Steve Henson]
11302
11303 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
11304 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
11305 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
11306 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
11307 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
11308 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
11309 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
11310 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
11311 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
11312 memory BIOs.
11313 [Steve Henson]
11314
11315 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
11316 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
11317 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
11318 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
11319 [Bodo Moeller]
11320
11321 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
11322 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
11323 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
11324 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
11325 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
11326 functionality.
11327 [Steve Henson]
11328
11329 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
11330 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
11331 under Win32.
11332 [Steve Henson]
11333
11334 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
11335 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
11336 extensions to be obtained and added.
11337 [Steve Henson]
11338
11339 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
11340 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
11341 [Bodo Moeller]
11342
11343 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
11344
11345 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11347
11348 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
11349 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
11350
11351 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
11352 program.
11353 [Steve Henson]
11354
11355 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
11356 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
11357 DH parameters contain its length).
11358
11359 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
11360 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
11361 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
11362 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
11363 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
11364 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
11365 utter importance to use
11366 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11367 or
11368 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
11369 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
11370 attacks may become possible!
11371 [Bodo Moeller]
11372
11373 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
11374 [Bodo Moeller]
11375
11376 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
11377 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
11378 [Steve Henson]
11379
11380 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
11381 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
11382 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
11383 or long name.
11384 [Steve Henson]
11385
11386 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
11387 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
11388 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
11389 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
11390 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
11391 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
11392 private key operations.
11393 [Steve Henson]
11394
11395 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
11396 [Andy Polyakov]
11397
11398 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
11399 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
11400 to
11401 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
11402 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
11403 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
11404 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
11405 the password callback is called.
11406 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
11407
11408 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
11409
11410 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
11411 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
11412 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
11413 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
11414 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
11415 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
11416 this will work.
11417
11418 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
11419 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
11420 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
11421 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
11422 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
11423 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
11424 [Bodo Moeller]
11425
11426 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
11427 [Andy Polyakov]
11428
11429 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
11430 delete an unused file.
11431 [Ulf Möller]
11432
11433 *) Add support for the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
11434 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
11435 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
11436 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
11437 [Steve Henson]
11438
11439 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
11440 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
11441 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
11442 of an error.
11443 [Bodo Moeller]
11444
11445 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
11446 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
11447 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
11448
11449 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
11450 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
11451 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
11452 comparison" warnings.
11453 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
11454 [Steve Henson]
11455
11456 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
11457 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
11458 derived keys are printed to stderr.
11459 [Steve Henson]
11460
11461 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
11462 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
11463
11464 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
11465 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
11466
11467 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
11468 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
11469 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
11470
11471 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
11472 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
11473 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11474 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11475 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11476 this bug.
11477 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11478
11479 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11480 The interface is as follows:
11481 Applications can use
11482 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11483 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11484 "off" is now the default.
11485 The library internally uses
11486 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11487 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11488 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11489
11490 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11491 even the default) are now avoided.
11492
11493 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11494 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11495 than just having a counter.
11496
11497 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11498
11499 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11500 extensions.
11501 [Bodo Moeller]
11502
11503 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11504 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11505 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11506 Initial "mode" flags are:
11507
11508 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11509 a single record has been written.
11510 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11511 retries use the same buffer location.
11512 (But all of the contents must be
11513 copied!)
11514 [Bodo Moeller]
11515
11516 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11517 worked.
11518
11519 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11520 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11521
11522 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11523 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11524 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11525 [Steve Henson]
11526
11527 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11528 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11529 test programs.
11530 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11531
11532 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11533 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11534 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11535 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11536 point to the end.
11537 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11538 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11539
11540 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11541 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11542 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11543 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11544 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11545 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11546 [Steve Henson]
11547
11548 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11549 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11550 necessary function names.
11551 [Steve Henson]
11552
11553 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11554 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11555 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11556 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11557 [Bodo Moeller]
11558
11559 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11560 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11561 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11562 [Steve Henson]
11563
11564 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11565 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11566 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11567 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11568 such programs?)
11569 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11570 need locks.
11571 [Bodo Moeller]
11572
11573 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11574 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11575 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11576 [Bodo Moeller]
11577
11578 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11579 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11580 appropriate.
11581 [Bodo Moeller]
11582
11583 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11584 for the encoded length.
11585 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11586
11587 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11588 [Steve Henson]
11589
11590 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11591 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11592 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11593 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11594 [Steve Henson]
11595
11596 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11597 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11598 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11599
11600 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11601 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11602 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11603 unusual formatting.
11604 [Steve Henson]
11605
11606 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11607 to use the new extension code.
11608 [Steve Henson]
11609
11610 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11611 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11612 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11613 constant.
11614 [Steve Henson]
11615
11616 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11617 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11618 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11619 [Bodo Moeller]
11620
11621 #if 0
11622 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11623 [Ben Laurie]
11624 #else
11625 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11626 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11627 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11628 #endif
11629
11630 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11631 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11632 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11633 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11634 [Ben Laurie]
11635
11636 *) DES library cleanups.
11637 [Ulf Möller]
11638
11639 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11640 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11641 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11642 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11643 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11644 of v2.0.
11645 [Steve Henson]
11646
11647 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11648 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11649 [Bodo Moeller]
11650
11651 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11652 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11653 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11654 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11655 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11656 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11657 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11658 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11659 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11660 [Steve Henson]
11661
11662 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11663 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11664 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11665 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11666 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11667 value doesn't matter.
11668 [Steve Henson]
11669
11670 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11671 support mutable.
11672 [Ben Laurie]
11673
11674 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11675 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11676 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11677 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11678
11679 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11680 [Ulf Möller]
11681
11682 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11683 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11684 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11685
11686 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11687 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11688
11689 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11690 [Ben Laurie]
11691
11692 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11693 [Ben Laurie]
11694
11695 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11696 [Ben Laurie]
11697
11698 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11699 [Bodo Moeller]
11700
11701
11702 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11703
11704 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11705
11706 *) Updated some demos.
11707 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11708
11709 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11710 [Wu Zhigang]
11711
11712 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11713 [Steve Henson]
11714
11715 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11716 [Steve Henson]
11717
11718 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11719 instead of using a fixed path.
11720 [Bodo Moeller]
11721
11722 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11723 [Andy Polyakov]
11724
11725 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11726 [Richard Levitte]
11727
11728
11729 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11730
11731 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11732 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11733 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11734
11735 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11736 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11737 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11738 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11739 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11740 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11741 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11742 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11743 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11744 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11745 [Steve Henson]
11746
11747 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11748 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11749 [Steve Henson]
11750
11751 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11752 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11753 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11754 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11755 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11756
11757 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11758 [Bodo Moeller]
11759
11760 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11761 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11762 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11766 [Ben Laurie]
11767
11768 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11769 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11770 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11771 key elements as negative integers.
11772 [Steve Henson]
11773
11774 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11775 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11776
11777 *) VMS support.
11778 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11779
11780 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11781 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11782 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11783 [Steve Henson]
11784
11785 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11786 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11787 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11788 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11789 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11790 [Bodo Moeller]
11791
11792 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11793 [Ulf Möller]
11794
11795 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11796 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11797 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11799
11800 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11801 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11802 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11803
11804 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11805 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11806 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11807 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11808 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11809 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11810 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11811 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11812 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11813
11814 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11815 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11816 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11817 does not influence s as it used to.
11818
11819 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11820 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11821 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11822 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11823 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11824 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11825 [Bodo Moeller]
11826
11827 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11828 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11829 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11830 key type.
11831 [Steve Henson]
11832
11833 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11834 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11835 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11836 and 'x509').
11837 [Steve Henson]
11838
11839 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11840 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11841 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11842 extension option.
11843 [Steve Henson]
11844
11845 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11846 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11847 [Ben Laurie]
11848
11849 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11850 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11851
11852 *) Support Mingw32.
11853 [Ulf Möller]
11854
11855 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11856 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11857
11858 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11859 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11860
11861 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11862 [Ulf Möller]
11863
11864 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11865 [Anonymous]
11866
11867 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11868 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11869
11870 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11871 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11872 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11873 DER-encoded.)
11874 [Bodo Moeller]
11875
11876 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11877 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11878 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11879 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11880 now it really counts the depth.
11881 [Bodo Moeller]
11882
11883 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11884 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11885 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11886 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11887 didn't match the private key).
11888
11889 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11890 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11891 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11892 [Bodo Moeller]
11893
11894 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11895 [Ulf Möller]
11896
11897 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11898 David Harris.
11899 [Bodo Moeller]
11900
11901 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11902 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11903 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11904 [Bodo Moeller]
11905
11906 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11907 [Bodo Moeller]
11908
11909 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11910 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11911 such as /usr/local/bin.
11912 [Bodo Moeller]
11913
11914 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11915 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11916
11917 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11918 [Ulf Möller]
11919
11920 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11921 extension adding in x509 utility.
11922 [Steve Henson]
11923
11924 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11925 [Ulf Möller]
11926
11927 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11928 prototypes.
11929 [Steve Henson]
11930
11931 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11932 [Ulf Möller]
11933
11934 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11935 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11936 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11937 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11938 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11939 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11940 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11941 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11942 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11943 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11944 [Steve Henson]
11945
11946 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11947 [Bodo Moeller]
11948
11949 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11950 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11951 [Bodo Moeller]
11952
11953 *) Fix some race conditions.
11954 [Bodo Moeller]
11955
11956 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11957 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11958 [Steve Henson]
11959
11960 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11961 [Ulf Möller]
11962
11963 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11964 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11965 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11966 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11967
11968 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11969 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11970
11971 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11972 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11973 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11974
11975 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11976 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11977
11978 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11979 [Ulf Möller]
11980
11981 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11982 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11983
11984 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11985 [Ulf Möller]
11986
11987 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11988 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11989
11990 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11991 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11992 [Steve Henson]
11993
11994 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11995 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11996 [Ben Laurie]
11997
11998 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11999 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
12000 [Steve Henson]
12001
12002 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
12003 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
12004 [Steve Henson]
12005
12006 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
12007 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
12008 [Steve Henson]
12009
12010 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
12011 support typesafe stack.
12012 [Steve Henson]
12013
12014 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
12015 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
12016
12017 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
12018 old X509V3 handling code.
12019 [Steve Henson]
12020
12021 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
12022 [Ulf Möller]
12023
12024 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
12025 [Bodo Moeller]
12026
12027 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
12028 [Ben Laurie]
12029
12030 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
12031 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
12032
12033 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
12034 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
12035 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
12036 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
12037 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
12038 [Ben Laurie]
12039
12040 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
12041 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
12042 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
12043 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
12044 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
12045
12046 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
12047 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
12048 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
12049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12050
12051 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
12052 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
12053 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
12054 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12055
12056 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
12057 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
12058 all available ciphers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
12059 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
12060 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
12061 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
12062 [Bodo Moeller]
12063
12064 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
12065 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
12066 [Bodo Moeller]
12067
12068 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
12069 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
12070 [Ulf Möller]
12071
12072 *) Tweaks to Configure
12073 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
12074
12075 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
12076 yet...
12077 [Steve Henson]
12078
12079 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
12080 [Ulf Möller]
12081
12082 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
12083 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
12084 [Ulf Möller]
12085
12086 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
12087 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
12088 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
12089 [Bodo Moeller]
12090
12091 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
12092 [Bodo Moeller]
12093
12094 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
12095 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
12096 [Steve Henson]
12097
12098 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
12099 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
12100 to library startup routines.
12101 [Steve Henson]
12102
12103 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
12104 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
12105 codes along the way.
12106 [Steve Henson]
12107
12108 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
12109 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
12110 objects to objects.h
12111 [Steve Henson]
12112
12113 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
12114 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
12115 [Steve Henson]
12116
12117 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
12118 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
12119
12120 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
12121 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
12122 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
12123
12124 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
12125 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
12126 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12127
12128 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
12129 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
12130 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
12131
12132
12133 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
12134
12135 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
12136 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
12137 [Ben Laurie]
12138
12139 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
12140 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
12141 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
12142 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
12143 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
12144
12145 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
12146 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
12147 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
12148 document.
12149 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12150
12151 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
12152 Malloc, Free.
12153 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
12154
12155 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
12156 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12157
12158 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
12159 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
12160 if someone would make that last step automatic.
12161 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
12162
12163 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
12164 [Ben Laurie]
12165
12166 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
12167 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
12168 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
12169 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
12170 [Steve Henson]
12171
12172 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
12173 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
12174 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
12175 [Steve Henson]
12176
12177 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
12178 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
12179 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
12180 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
12181 installed as `perl').
12182 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12183
12184 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
12185 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12186
12187 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
12188 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
12189 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
12190 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
12191 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
12192 [Steve Henson]
12193
12194 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
12195 [Ben Laurie]
12196
12197 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
12198 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
12199 is horrible: I feel ill....
12200 [Steve Henson]
12201
12202 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
12203 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
12204 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
12205 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
12206 [Steve Henson]
12207
12208 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
12209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12210
12211 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
12212 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
12213 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
12214 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12215
12216 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
12217 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
12218 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
12219 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
12220 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
12221 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
12222 openssl_bio.xs.
12223 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12224
12225 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
12226 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12227
12228 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
12229 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
12230
12231 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
12232 [Ben Laurie]
12233
12234 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
12235 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
12236 in CRLs.
12237 [Steve Henson]
12238
12239 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
12240 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
12241 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
12242 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
12243 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
12244 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
12245 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
12246 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
12247 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
12248 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
12249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12250
12251 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
12252 [Ben Laurie]
12253
12254 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
12255 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
12256 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
12257 for linking it into DSOs.
12258 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12259
12260 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
12261 Fixed.
12262 [Ben Laurie]
12263
12264 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
12265 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
12266 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
12267 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
12268 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
12269 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12270
12271 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
12272 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
12273 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
12274 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
12275 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
12276 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
12277 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12278
12279 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
12280 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
12281 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
12282 encryption.
12283 [Ben Laurie]
12284
12285 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
12286 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
12287 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
12288 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
12289 [Steve Henson]
12290
12291 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
12292 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
12293 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
12294 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
12295 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
12296 field as blank.
12297 [Steve Henson]
12298
12299 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
12300 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
12301 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
12302 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
12303 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12304
12305 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
12306 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
12307 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12308
12309 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
12310 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
12311
12312 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
12313 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
12314 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
12315 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
12316 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
12317 [Steve Henson]
12318
12319 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
12320 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
12321 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
12322 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
12323 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
12324 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
12325 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
12326 [Ben Laurie]
12327
12328 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
12329 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
12330 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
12331 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
12332 [Ben Laurie]
12333
12334 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
12335 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
12336
12337 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
12338 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
12339 [Steve Henson]
12340
12341 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
12342 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
12343 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
12344 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
12345 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
12346 (e.g. s_server).
12347 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
12348 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
12349 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
12350 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
12351 no way to reconfigure them.
12352 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
12353 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
12354 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
12355 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
12356 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
12357 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12358
12359 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
12360 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
12361 recognized by the users.
12362 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12363
12364 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
12365 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
12366 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
12367 already masked variable.
12368 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12369
12370 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
12371 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12372
12373 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
12374 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
12375 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
12376 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
12377
12378 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
12379 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
12380 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12381
12382 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
12383 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
12384 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
12385 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
12386 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
12387 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
12388 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
12389 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
12390 now, too.
12391 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12392
12393 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
12394 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
12395 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12396
12397 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
12398 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
12399 config file.
12400 [Steve Henson]
12401
12402 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
12403 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
12404
12405 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
12406 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
12407 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
12408 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
12409 [Ben Laurie]
12410
12411 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
12412 [Steve Henson]
12413
12414 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
12415 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12416
12417 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
12418 [Ben Laurie]
12419
12420 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
12421 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
12422 [Steve Henson]
12423
12424 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
12425 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
12426 [Steve Henson]
12427
12428 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
12429 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
12430 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
12431 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
12432 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
12433 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
12434 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
12435 Ben Laurie]
12436
12437 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
12438 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12439
12440 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
12441 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
12442 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
12443 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
12444 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12445
12446 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
12447 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
12448 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
12449 [Steve Henson]
12450
12451 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
12452 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
12453 an example.
12454 [Steve Henson]
12455
12456 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
12457 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
12458 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12459
12460 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
12461 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
12462 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
12463 build instructions.
12464 [Steve Henson]
12465
12466 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
12467 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
12468 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
12469 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
12470 [Steve Henson]
12471
12472 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
12473 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12474 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12475 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12476 [Ben Laurie]
12477
12478 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12479 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12480 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12481 so it wasn't spotted.
12482 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12483
12484 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12485 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12486 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12487 vectors if you have them.
12488 [Ben Laurie]
12489
12490 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12491 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12492 [Ben Laurie]
12493
12494 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12495 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12496 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12497 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12498 If you do a:
12499 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12500 it will update them.
12501 [Steve Henson]
12502
12503 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12504 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12505 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12506 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12507 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12508 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12509 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12510 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12511
12512 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12513 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12514 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12515 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12516 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12517 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12518 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12519 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12520 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12522
12523 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12524 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12525 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12526 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12527 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12528 [Steve Henson]
12529
12530 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12531 INTEGER code.
12532 [Steve Henson]
12533
12534 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12535 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12536
12537 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12538 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12539
12540 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12541 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12542 [Ben Laurie]
12543
12544 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12545 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12546
12547 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12548 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12549
12550 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12551 [Steve Henson]
12552
12553 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12554 few typos.
12555 [Steve Henson]
12556
12557 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12558 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12559 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12560 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12561
12562 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12563 [Steve Henson]
12564
12565 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12566 [Steve Henson]
12567
12568 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12569 [Steve Henson]
12570
12571 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12572 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12573 [Steve Henson]
12574
12575 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12576 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12577 CA extensions.
12578 [Steve Henson]
12579
12580 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12581 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12582 [Steve Henson]
12583
12584 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12585 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12586 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12587 [Steve Henson]
12588
12589 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12590 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12591 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12592 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12593 properly to be processed.
12594 [Steve Henson]
12595
12596 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12597 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12598 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12599 [Ben Laurie]
12600
12601 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12602 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12603
12604 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12605 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12606 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12607 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12608 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12609 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12610 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12611 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12612 or delete all the .err files.
12613 [Steve Henson]
12614
12615 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12616 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12617 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12618 to regenerate it if needed.
12619 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12620 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12621
12622 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12623 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12624
12625 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12626 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12627 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12628 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12629 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12630 [Steve Henson]
12631
12632 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12633 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12634
12635 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12636 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12637
12638 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12639 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12640 error, but didn't set one).
12641 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12642
12643 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12644 [Ben Laurie]
12645
12646 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12647 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12648 [Steve Henson]
12649
12650 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12651 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12652
12653 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12654 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12655 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12656 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12657 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12658 OID is not part of the table.
12659 [Steve Henson]
12660
12661 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12662 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12663 [Ben Laurie]
12664
12665 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12666 [Ben Laurie]
12667
12668 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12669 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12670 was "1234").
12671 [Steve Henson]
12672
12673 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12674 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12675
12676 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12677 NULL pointers.
12678 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12679
12680 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12681 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12682
12683 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12684 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12685
12686 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12687 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12688
12689 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12690 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12691 [Ben Laurie]
12692
12693 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12694 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12695 [Steve Henson]
12696
12697 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12698 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12699
12700 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12701 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12702
12703 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12704 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12705
12706 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12707 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12708
12709 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12710 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12711 unused in the certificate verification process.
12712 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12713
12714 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12715 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12716 [Steve Henson]
12717
12718 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12719 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12720 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12721
12722 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12723 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12724 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12725 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12726 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12727
12728 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12729 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12730 [Steve Henson]
12731
12732 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12733 [Steve Henson]
12734
12735 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12736 [Paul Sutton]
12737
12738 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12739 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12740
12741 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12742 [Ben Laurie]
12743
12744 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12745 [Ben Laurie]
12746
12747 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12748 [Ben Laurie]
12749
12750 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12751 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12752 other error libraries.
12753 [Steve Henson]
12754
12755 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12756 [Steve Henson]
12757
12758 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12759 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12760 be read in.
12761 [Steve Henson]
12762
12763 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12764 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12765 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12766 the new set of documentation files.
12767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12768
12769 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12770 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12771 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12772 number of arguments.
12773 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12774
12775 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12776 [Ben Laurie]
12777
12778 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12779 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12780 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12781
12782 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12783 [Ben Laurie]
12784
12785 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12786 nextstep
12787 ncr-scde
12788 unixware-2.0
12789 unixware-2.0-pentium
12790 sco5-cc.
12791 [Ben Laurie]
12792
12793 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12794 before they are needed.
12795 [Ben Laurie]
12796
12797 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12798 [Ben Laurie]
12799
12800
12801 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12802
12803 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12804 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12805 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12806
12807 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12808 [Paul Sutton]
12809
12810 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12811 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12813
12814 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12815 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12816 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12817
12818 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12819 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12820 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12821
12822 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12823 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12824
12825 *) Updated the README file.
12826 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12827
12828 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12829 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12830 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12831
12832 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12833 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12834 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12835
12836 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12837 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12838 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12839 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12840 o removed obsolete TODO file
12841 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12843
