6
7 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
8
9 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
10 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
11 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
12
13 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
14 (CVE-2017-3731)
15 [Andy Polyakov]
16
17 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
18
19 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
20 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
21 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
22 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
23 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
24 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
25 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
26 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
27 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
28 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
29 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
30 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
31 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
32
33 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
34 (CVE-2017-3732)
35 [Andy Polyakov]
36
37 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
38
39 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
40 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
41 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
42 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
43 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
44 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
45 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
46 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
47 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
48 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
49 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
50 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
51 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
52 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
53
54 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
55 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
56 providing reproducible case.
57 (CVE-2016-7055)
58 [Andy Polyakov]
59
60 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
61 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
62 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
63 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
64 [Matt Caswell]
65
66 Changes between 1.0.2i and 1.0.2j [26 Sep 2016]
67
68 *) Missing CRL sanity check
69
70 A bug fix which included a CRL sanity check was added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
71 but was omitted from OpenSSL 1.0.2i. As a result any attempt to use
72 CRLs in OpenSSL 1.0.2i will crash with a null pointer exception.
73
74 This issue only affects the OpenSSL 1.0.2i
75 (CVE-2016-7052)
76 [Matt Caswell]
77
78 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.0.2i [22 Sep 2016]
79
80 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
81
82 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
83 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
84 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
85 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
86 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
87 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
88 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
89
90 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
91 (CVE-2016-6304)
92 [Matt Caswell]
93
94 *) In order to mitigate the SWEET32 attack, the DES ciphers were moved from
95 HIGH to MEDIUM.
96
97 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Karthikeyan Bhargavan and Gaetan
98 Leurent (INRIA)
99 (CVE-2016-2183)
100 [Rich Salz]
101
102 *) OOB write in MDC2_Update()
103
104 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or
105 through the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker
106 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous
107 call to EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check
108 can overflow resulting in a heap corruption.
109
110 The amount of data needed is comparable to SIZE_MAX which is impractical
111 on most platforms.
112
113 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
114 (CVE-2016-6303)
115 [Stephen Henson]
116
117 *) Malformed SHA512 ticket DoS
118
119 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
120 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
121 ultimately crash.
122
123 The use of SHA512 in TLS session tickets is comparatively rare as it requires
124 a custom server callback and ticket lookup mechanism.
125
126 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
127 (CVE-2016-6302)
128 [Stephen Henson]
129
130 *) OOB write in BN_bn2dec()
131
132 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
133 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
134 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
135 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
136 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
137
138 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
139 (CVE-2016-2182)
140 [Stephen Henson]
141
142 *) OOB read in TS_OBJ_print_bio()
143
144 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
145 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
146 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are
147 presented.
148
149 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
150 (CVE-2016-2180)
151 [Stephen Henson]
152
153 *) Pointer arithmetic undefined behaviour
154
155 Avoid some undefined pointer arithmetic
156
157 A common idiom in the codebase is to check limits in the following manner:
158 "p + len > limit"
159
160 Where "p" points to some malloc'd data of SIZE bytes and
161 limit == p + SIZE
162
163 "len" here could be from some externally supplied data (e.g. from a TLS
164 message).
165
166 The rules of C pointer arithmetic are such that "p + len" is only well
167 defined where len <= SIZE. Therefore the above idiom is actually
168 undefined behaviour.
169
170 For example this could cause problems if some malloc implementation
171 provides an address for "p" such that "p + len" actually overflows for
172 values of len that are too big and therefore p + len < limit.
173
174 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken
175 (CVE-2016-2177)
176 [Matt Caswell]
177
178 *) Constant time flag not preserved in DSA signing
179
180 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in
181 order to avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA
182 implementation means that a non-constant time codepath is followed for
183 certain operations. This has been demonstrated through a cache-timing
184 attack to be sufficient for an attacker to recover the private DSA key.
185
186 This issue was reported by César Pereida (Aalto University), Billy Brumley
187 (Tampere University of Technology), and Yuval Yarom (The University of
188 Adelaide and NICTA).
189 (CVE-2016-2178)
190 [César Pereida]
191
192 *) DTLS buffered message DoS
193
194 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order
195 those messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered
196 for later use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that
197 those messages do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake
198 has been completed. An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to
199 remain in the buffer when they are no longer required. These messages will
200 be cleared when the DTLS connection is closed. The default maximum size for
201 a message is 100k. Therefore the attacker could force an additional 1500k
202 to be consumed per connection. By opening many simulataneous connections an
203 attacker could cause a DoS attack through memory exhaustion.
204
205 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Quan Luo.
206 (CVE-2016-2179)
207 [Matt Caswell]
208
209 *) DTLS replay protection DoS
210
211 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records
212 that arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before
213 the MAC for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an
214 attacker by sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to
215 decrypt or have a valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means
216 that all subsequent legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of
217 service for a specific DTLS connection.
218
219 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OCAP audit team.
220 (CVE-2016-2181)
221 [Matt Caswell]
222
223 *) Certificate message OOB reads
224
225 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result
226 in OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a
227 theoretical DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common
228 platforms.
229
230 The messages affected are client certificate, client certificate request
231 and server certificate. As a result the attack can only be performed
232 against a client or a server which enables client authentication.
233
234 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
235 (CVE-2016-6306)
236 [Stephen Henson]
237
238 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
239
240 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
241
242 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
243 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
244 AES-NI.
245
246 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
247 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
248 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
249 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
250 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
251 bytes.
252
253 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
254 (CVE-2016-2107)
255 [Kurt Roeckx]
256
257 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
258
259 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
260 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
261 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
262 corruption.
263
264 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarly used by
265 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
266 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
267 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
268 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
269 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
270
271 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
272 (CVE-2016-2105)
273 [Matt Caswell]
274
275 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
276
277 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
278 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
279 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
280 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
281 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
282 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
283 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
284 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
285 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
286 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
287 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
288 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
289 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
290 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
291 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
292 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
293
294 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
295 (CVE-2016-2106)
296 [Matt Caswell]
297
298 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
299
300 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
301 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
302 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
303
304 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
305 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
306 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
307 applications are not affected.
308
309 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
310 (CVE-2016-2109)
311 [Stephen Henson]
312
313 *) EBCDIC overread
314
315 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
316 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
317 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
318
319 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
320 (CVE-2016-2176)
321 [Matt Caswell]
322
323 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
324 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
325 [Todd Short]
326
327 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
328 default.
329 [Kurt Roeckx]
330
331 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
332 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
333 [Kurt Roeckx]
334
335 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
336
337 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
338 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
339 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
340 [Viktor Dukhovni]
341
342 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
343 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
344 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
345 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
346 will need to explicitly call either of:
347
348 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
349 or
350 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
351
352 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
353 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
354 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
355 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
356 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
357 (CVE-2016-0800)
358 [Viktor Dukhovni]
359
360 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
361
362 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
363 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
364 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
365 considered rare.
366
367 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
368 libFuzzer.
369 (CVE-2016-0705)
370 [Stephen Henson]
371
372 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
373
374 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
375
376 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
377 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
378 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
379 is configured.
380
381 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
382 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
383 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
384 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
385 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
386 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
387 that of a valid user.
388 (CVE-2016-0798)
389 [Emilia Käsper]
390
391 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
392
393 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
394 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
395 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
396 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
397 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
398 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
399 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
400 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
401 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
402 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
403 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
404
405 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
406 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
407 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
408 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
409 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
410
411 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
412 (CVE-2016-0797)
413 [Matt Caswell]
414
415 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
416
417 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
418 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
419 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
420
421 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
422 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
423 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
424 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
425 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
426 also occur.
427
428 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
429 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
430 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
431 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
432 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
433 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
434 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
435 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
436 as command line arguments.
437
438 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
439 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
440 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
441
442 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
443 (CVE-2016-0799)
444 [Matt Caswell]
445
446 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
447
448 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
449 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
450 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
451 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
452 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
453
454 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
455 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
456 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
457 http://cachebleed.info.
458 (CVE-2016-0702)
459 [Andy Polyakov]
460
461 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
462 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
463 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
464 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
465 [Emilia Käsper]
466
467 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
468
469 *) DH small subgroups
470
471 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
472 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
473 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
474 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
475 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
476 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
477 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
478 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
479 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
480 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
481
482 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
483 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
484 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
485 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
486 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
487
488 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
489 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
490 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
491 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
492
493 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
494 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
495
496 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
497 (CVE-2016-0701)
498 [Matt Caswell]
499
500 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
501
502 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
503 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
504 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
505 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
506
507 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
508 and Sebastian Schinzel.
509 (CVE-2015-3197)

517 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
518
519 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
520 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
521 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
522 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
523 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
524 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
525 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
526 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
527 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
528 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
529 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
530 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
531
532 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
533 (CVE-2015-3193)
534 [Andy Polyakov]
535
536 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
537
538 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
539 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
540 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
541 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
542 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
543 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
544 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
545 authentication.
546
547 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
548 (CVE-2015-3194)
549 [Stephen Henson]
550
551 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
552
553 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
554 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
555 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
556 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
557
558 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
559 libFuzzer.
560 (CVE-2015-3195)
561 [Stephen Henson]
562
563 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
564 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
565 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
566 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
567 [Emilia Käsper]
568
569 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
570 use a random seed, as already documented.
571 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
572
573 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
574
575 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
576
577 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
578 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
579 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
580 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
581 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
582 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
583
584 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
585 (Google/BoringSSL).
586 (CVE-2015-1793)
587 [Matt Caswell]
588
589 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
590
591 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
592 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
593 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
594 identify hint data.
595 (CVE-2015-3196)
596 [Stephen Henson]
597
598 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
599
600 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
601 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
602 restored.
603
604 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
605
606 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
607
608 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
609 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
610 field.
611
612 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
613 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
614 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
615 client authentication enabled.
616
617 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
618 (CVE-2015-1788)
619 [Andy Polyakov]
620
621 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
622
623 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
624 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
625 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
626 time string.
627
628 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
629 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
630 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
631 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
632 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
633 callbacks.
634
635 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
636 independently by Hanno Böck.
637 (CVE-2015-1789)
638 [Emilia Käsper]
639
640 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
641
642 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
643 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
644 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
645
646 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
647 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
648 servers are not affected.
649
650 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
651 (CVE-2015-1790)
652 [Emilia Käsper]
653
654 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
655
656 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
657 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
658 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
659 the CMS code.
660 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
661 (CVE-2015-1792)
662 [Stephen Henson]
663
664 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
665
666 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
667 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
668 a double free of the ticket data.
669 (CVE-2015-1791)
670 [Matt Caswell]
671
672 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
673 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
674 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
675 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
676 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
677 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
678 [Matt Caswell]
679
680 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
681 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
682 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
683 [Emilia Kasper]
684
685 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
686 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
687
688 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
689
690 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
691
692 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
693 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
694 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
695
696 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
697 University.
698 (CVE-2015-0291)
699 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
700
701 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
702
703 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
704 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
705 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
706 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
707 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
708 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
709 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
710 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
711
712 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
713 (CVE-2015-0290)
714 [Matt Caswell]
715
716 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
717
718 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
719 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
720 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
721 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
722 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
723 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
724 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
725 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
726 server.
727
728 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
729 (CVE-2015-0207)
730 [Matt Caswell]
731
732 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
733
734 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
735 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
736 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
737 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
738 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
739 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
740 (CVE-2015-0286)
741 [Stephen Henson]
742
743 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
744
745 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
746 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
747 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
748 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
749 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
750 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
751 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
752
753 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
754 (CVE-2015-0208)
755 [Stephen Henson]
756
757 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
758
759 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
760 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
761 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
762
763 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
764 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
765 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
766 not affected.
767 (CVE-2015-0287)
768 [Stephen Henson]
769
770 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
771
772 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
773 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
774 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
775
776 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
777 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
778 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
779
780 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
781 (CVE-2015-0289)
782 [Emilia Käsper]
783
784 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
785
786 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
787 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
788 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
789
790 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
791 (OpenSSL development team).
792 (CVE-2015-0293)
793 [Emilia Käsper]
794
795 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
796
797 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
798 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
799 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
800 (CVE-2015-1787)
801 [Matt Caswell]
802
803 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
804
805 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
806 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
807 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
808 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
809 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
810 SSL_client_methodv23)
811 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
812 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
813
814 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
815 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
816 output may be predictable.
817
818 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
819 succeed on an unpatched platform:
820
821 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
822 (CVE-2015-0285)
823 [Matt Caswell]
824
825 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
826
827 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
828 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
829 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
830 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
831 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
832 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
833
834 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
835 commit 517073cd4b.
836 (CVE-2015-0209)
837 [Matt Caswell]
838
839 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
840
841 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
842 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
843
844 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
845 (CVE-2015-0288)
846 [Stephen Henson]
847
848 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
849 [Kurt Roeckx]
850
851 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
852
853 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
854 keys by default.
855 [Kurt Roeckx]
856
857 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
858 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
859 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
860 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
861 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
862 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
863 [Andy Polyakov]
864
865 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
866 (other platforms pending).
867 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
868
869 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
870 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
871 [Rob Stradling]
872
873 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
874 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
875 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
876 [Bodo Moeller]
877
878 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
879 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
880 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
881 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
882 [Andy Polyakov]
883
884 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
885 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
886
887 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
888 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
889 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
890 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
891 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
892
893 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
894 [Andy Polyakov]
895
896 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
897 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
898 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
899 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
900
901 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
902 RSAZ.
903 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
904
905 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
906 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
907 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
908 for TLS encrypt.
909
910 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
911 [Andy Polyakov]
912
913 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
914 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
915 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
916 [Steve Henson]
917
918 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
919 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
920 [Steve Henson]
921
922 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
923 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
924 [Steve Henson]
925
926 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
927 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
928 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
929 algorithms and include tests cases.
930 [Steve Henson]
931
932 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
933 structure.
934 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
935
936 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
937 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
938 [Steve Henson]
939
940 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
941 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
942 summary of the connection parameters.
943 [Steve Henson]
944
945 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
946 of connection parameters.
947 [Steve Henson]
948
949 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
950 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
951
952 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
953 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
954 [Steve Henson]
955
956 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
957 [Steve Henson]
958
959 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
960 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
961 [Steve Henson]
962
963 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
964 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
965 [Steve Henson]
966
967 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
968 certificates.
969 [Steve Henson]
970
971 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
972 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
973 CRLs using the OCSP API.
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
977 [Steve Henson]
978
979 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
980 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
981 [Steve Henson]
982
983 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
984 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
985 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
986 tracing.
987 [Steve Henson]
988
989 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
990 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
994 OID NID.
995 [Steve Henson]
996
997 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
998 client to OpenSSL.
999 [Steve Henson]
1000
1001 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1002 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1003 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1004 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1005 [Steve Henson]
1006
1007 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1008 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1009 [Steve Henson]
1010
1011 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1012 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1013 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1014 comparison.
1015 [Steve Henson]
1016
1017 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1018 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1019 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1020 use the certificate.
1021 [Steve Henson]
1022
1023 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1024 [Steve Henson]
1025
1026 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1027 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1028 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1029 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1030 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1031 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1032 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1033
1034 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1035 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1036
1037 [Steve Henson]
1038
1039 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1040 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1041 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1042 [Steve Henson]
1043
1044 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1045 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1046 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1047 supported signature algorithms.
1048 [Steve Henson]
1049
1050 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1051 [Steve Henson]
1052
1053 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1054 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1055 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1056 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1057 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1058 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1059 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1060 [Steve Henson]
1061
1062 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1063 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1064 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1065 to have similar checks in it.
1066
1067 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1068 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1069 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1070 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1071 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1072 [Steve Henson]
1073
1074 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1075 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1076 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1077 shared signature algorithms.
1078 [Steve Henson]
1079
1080 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1081 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1082 to support them.
1083 [Steve Henson]
1084
1085 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1086 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1087 it couldn't be removed.
1088 [Steve Henson]
1089
1090 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1091 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1092 [Steve Henson]
1093
1094 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1095 functions. Add manual page.
1096 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1097
1098 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1099 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1100 a certificate.
1101 [Steve Henson]
1102
1103 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1104 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1105
1106 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1107 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1108 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1109 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1110 utility) or reject.
1111 [Steve Henson]
1112
1113 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1114 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1115 [Steve Henson]
1116
1117 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1118 platform support for Linux and Android.
1119 [Andy Polyakov]
1120
1121 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1122 [Andy Polyakov]
1123
1124 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1125 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1126 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1127 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1128 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1129 [Steve Henson]
1130
1131 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1132 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1133 the new parameter format automatically.
1134 [Steve Henson]
1135
1136 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1137 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1138 [Steve Henson]
1139
1140 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1141 [Steve Henson]
1142
1143 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1144 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1145 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1146 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1147 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1148 [Steve Henson]
1149
1150 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1151 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1152 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1153 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1154 to set list of supported curves.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1158 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1159 to print out received values.
1160 [Steve Henson]
1161
1162 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1163 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1164 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1165 [Steve Henson]
1166
1167 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1168 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1169 [Steve Henson]
1170
1171 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1172 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1173 [Steve Henson]
1174
1175 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1176 certificates.
1177 [Steve Henson]
1178
1179 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1180 the certificate.
1181 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1182 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1183 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1184
1185 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1186
1187 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1188 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1189
1190 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1191
1192 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1193 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1194 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1195 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1196 (CVE-2014-3571)
1197 [Steve Henson]
1198
1199 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1200 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1201 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1202 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1203 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1204 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1205 (CVE-2015-0206)
1206 [Matt Caswell]
1207
1208 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1209 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1210 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1211 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1212 (CVE-2014-3569)
1213 [Kurt Roeckx]
1214
1215 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1216 ECDH ciphersuites.
1217
1218 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1219 reporting this issue.
1220 (CVE-2014-3572)
1221 [Steve Henson]
1222
1223 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1224 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1225 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1226 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1227 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1228 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1229 (CVE-2015-0204)
1230 [Steve Henson]
1231
1232 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1233 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1234 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1235 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1236 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1237 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1238 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1239 this issue.
1240 (CVE-2015-0205)
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1244 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1245
1246 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1247 and can vary with the CTX.
1248 [Adam Langley]
1249
1250 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1251
1252 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1253 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1254 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1255 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1256 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1257
1258 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1259
1260 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1261 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1262
1263 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1264
1265 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1266 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1267 errors for some broken certificates.
1268
1269 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1270
1271 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1272
1273 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1274 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1275
1276 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1277 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1278 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1279 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1280
1281 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1282 of the OpenSSL core team.
1283
1284 (CVE-2014-8275)
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1288 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1289 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1290 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1291 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1292 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1293 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1294 the OpenSSL core team.
1295 (CVE-2014-3570)
1296 [Andy Polyakov]
1297
1298 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1299 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1300 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1301 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1302 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1303
1304 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1305 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1306 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1307 [Emilia Käsper]
1308
1309 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1310 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1311 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1312 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1313 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1314
1315 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1316 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1317 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1318 [Emilia Käsper]
1319
1320 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1321
1322 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1323
1324 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1325 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1326 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1327 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1328 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1329 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1330 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1331
1332 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1333 (CVE-2014-3513)
1334 [OpenSSL team]
1335
1336 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1337
1338 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1339 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1340 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1341 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1342 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1343 attack.
1344 (CVE-2014-3567)
1345 [Steve Henson]
1346
1347 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1348
1349 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1350 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1351 configured to send them.
1352 (CVE-2014-3568)
1353 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1354
1355 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1356 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1357 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1358 (CVE-2014-3566)
1359 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1360
1361 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1362
1363 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1364 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1365 DigestInfo structures.
1366
1367 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1368
1369 [Steve Henson]
1370
1371 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1372
1373 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1374 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1375 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1376
1377 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1378 Group for discovering this issue.
1379 (CVE-2014-3512)
1380 [Steve Henson]
1381
1382 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1383 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1384 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1385 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1386 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1387
1388 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1389 researching this issue.
1390 (CVE-2014-3511)
1391 [David Benjamin]
1392
1393 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1394 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1395 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1396 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1397
1398 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1399 issue.
1400 (CVE-2014-3510)
1401 [Emilia Käsper]
1402
1403 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1404 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1405 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1406 (CVE-2014-3507)
1407 [Adam Langley]
1408
1409 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1410 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1411 Denial of Service attack.
1412 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1413 (CVE-2014-3506)
1414 [Adam Langley]
1415
1416 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1417 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1418 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1419 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1420 this issue.
1421 (CVE-2014-3505)
1422 [Adam Langley]
1423
1424 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1425 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1426 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1427
1428 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1429 issue.
1430 (CVE-2014-3509)
1431 [Gabor Tyukasz]
1432
1433 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1434 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1435 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1436 Denial of Service attack.
1437
1438 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1439 discovering and researching this issue.
1440 (CVE-2014-5139)
1441 [Steve Henson]
1442
1443 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1444 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1445 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1446 output to the attacker.
1447
1448 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1449 (CVE-2014-3508)
1450 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1451
1452 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1453 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1454 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1455 [Bodo Moeller]
1456
1457 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1458
1459 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1460 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1461 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1462
1463 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1464 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1465 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1466
1467 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1468 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1469 in a DoS attack.
1470
1471 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1472 (CVE-2014-0221)
1473 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1474
1475 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1476 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1477 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1478 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1479
1480 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1481 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1482
1483 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1484 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1485
1486 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1487 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1488 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1489
1490 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1491 compilation flags.
1492 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1493
1494 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1495 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1496 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1497
1498 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1499 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1500
1501 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1502
1503 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1504 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1505 server.
1506
1507 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1508 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1509 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1510 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1511
1512 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1513 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1514 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1515 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1516
1517 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1518 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1519 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1520
1521 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1522
1523 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1524 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1525 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1526 is at least 512 bytes long.
1527
1528 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1529
1530 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1531
1532 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1533 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1534 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1535 (CVE-2013-4353)
1536
1537 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1538 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1539 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1540 [Steve Henson]
1541
1542 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1543 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1544 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1545 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1546 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1547 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1548 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1549
1550 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1551
1552 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1553 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1554 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1555
1556 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1557
1558 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1559
1560 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1561 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1562 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1563
1564 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1565 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1566 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1567 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1568 (CVE-2013-0169)
1569 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1570
1571 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1572 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1573 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1574 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1575 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1576 (CVE-2012-2686)
1577 [Adam Langley]
1578
1579 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1580 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1581 [Steve Henson]
1582
1583 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1584 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1585
1586 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1587 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1588 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1589 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1590 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1591
1592 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1593 [Steve Henson]
1594
1595 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1596 if renegotiating.
1597 [Steve Henson]
1598
1599 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1600
1601 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1602 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1603
1604 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1605 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1606 (CVE-2012-2333)
1607 [Steve Henson]
1608
1609 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1610 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1611 [Steve Henson]
1612
1613 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1614 approved.
1615 [Steve Henson]
1616
1617 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1618
1619 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1620 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1621 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1622 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1623 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1624 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1625 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1626 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1627 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1628 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1629 [Steve Henson]
1630
1631 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1632 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1633 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1634 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1635 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1636 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1637 client side.
1638 [Andy Polyakov]
1639
1640 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1641
1642 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1643 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1644 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1645
1646 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1647 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1648 (CVE-2012-2110)
1649 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1650
1651 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1652 [Adam Langley]
1653
1654 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1655 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1656
1657 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1658 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1659 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1660 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1661 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1662 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1663 Most broken servers should now work.
1664 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1665 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1669 [Andy Polyakov]
1670
1671 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1672
1673 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1674 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1675 [Steve Henson]
1676
1677 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1678 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1679 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1680 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1681 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1682 [Steve Henson]
1683
1684 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1685 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1686 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1687 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1688 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1689 [Steve Henson]
1690
1691 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1692 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1693
1694 *) Add support for SCTP.
1695 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1696
1697 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1698 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1699
1700 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1701
1702 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1703 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1704 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1705 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1706 - s390x: z196 support;
1707 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1708
1709 [Andy Polyakov]
1710
1711 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1712 (removal of unnecessary code)
1713 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1714
1715 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1716 [Eric Rescorla]
1717
1718 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1719 [Eric Rescorla]
1720
1721 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1722 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1723 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1724 by Google.
1725 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1726
1727 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1728 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1729 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1730 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1731 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1732
1733 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1734 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1735 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1736
1737 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1738 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1739 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1740
1741 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1742 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1743 implementations).
1744 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1745
1746 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1747 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1748 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1749 [Steve Henson]
1750
1751 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1752 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1753 particular PSS.
1754 [Steve Henson]
1755
1756 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1757 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1758 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1759 [Steve Henson]
1760
1761 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1762 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1763 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1764 the appropriate parameters.
1765 [Steve Henson]
1766
1767 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1768 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1769 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1770 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1771 against a number of sample certificates.
1772 [Steve Henson]
1773
1774 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1775 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1776
1777 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1778 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1779
1780 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1781 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1782 parameters r, s.
1783 [Steve Henson]
1784
1785 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1786 RFC3211.
1787 [Steve Henson]
1788
1789 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1790 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1791 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1792 password based CMS).
1793 [Steve Henson]
1794
1795 *) Session-handling fixes:
1796 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1797 but also support Session Tickets.
1798 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1799 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1800 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1801 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1802 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1803 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1804
1805 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1806 [Bodo Moeller]
1807
1808 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1809
1810 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1811 [Andy Polyakov]
1812
1813 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1814 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1815 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1816 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1817 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1821 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1822 [Steve Henson]
1823
1824 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1825 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1826 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1827 [Steve Henson]
1828
1829 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1830 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1831 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1832 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1833 [Steve Henson]
1834
1835 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1836 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1837 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1838 [Steve Henson]
1839
1840 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1841 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1842
1843 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1844 [Steve Henson]
1845
1846 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1847 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1848 [Steve Henson]
1849
1850 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1851 [Steve Henson]
1852
1853 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1854 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1855 [Steve Henson]
1856
1857 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1858 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1859 [Steve Henson]
1860
1861 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1862 [Steve Henson]
1863
1864 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1865 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1866 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1867 [Steve Henson]
1868
1869 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1870 [Steve Henson]
1871
1872 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1873 [Steve Henson]
1874
1875 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1876 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1877 [Steve Henson]
1878
1879 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1880 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1881 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1882 [Steve Henson]
1883
1884 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1885 [Steve Henson]
1886
1887 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1888 and enable MD5.
1889 [Steve Henson]
1890
1891 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1892 FIPS modules versions.
1893 [Steve Henson]
1894
1895 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1896 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1897 until after the certificate request message is received.
1898 [Steve Henson]
1899
1900 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1901 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1902 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1903 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1904 [Steve Henson]
1905
1906 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1907 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1908 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1909 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1910 [Steve Henson]
1911
1912 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1913 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1914 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1915 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1916 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1917 and version checking.
1918 [Steve Henson]
1919
1920 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1921 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1922 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1923 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1924 [Steve Henson]
1925
1926 *) Add SRP support.
1927 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1928
1929 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1930 [Steve Henson]
1931
1932 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1933 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1934 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1935
1936 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1937 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1938 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1939 [Steve Henson]
1940
1941 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1942 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1943
1944 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1945 a few changes are required:
1946
1947 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1948 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1949 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1950 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1951 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1952 [Steve Henson]
1953
1954 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1955
1956 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1957 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1958 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1959 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1960 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1961 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1962 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1963 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1964 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1965 [Steve Henson]
1966
1967 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1968 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1969 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1970 [Steve Henson]
1971
1972 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1973
1974 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1975 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1976 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1977 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1978 [Antonio Martin]
1979
1980 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1981
1982 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1983 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1984 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1985 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1986 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1987 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1988 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1989 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1990 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1991 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1992 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1993 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1994 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1995
1996 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1997 (CVE-2011-4576)
1998 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1999
2000 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2001 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2002 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2003 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2004
2005 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2006 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2007
2008 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2009 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2010 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2011 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2012
2013 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2014 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2015
2016 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2017 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2018
2019 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2020 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2021
2022 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2023 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2024 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2025
2026 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2027 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2028 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2029
2030 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2031 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2032 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2033 the last update always remained unused).
2034 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2035
2036 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2037 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2038
2039 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2040
2041 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2042 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2043 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2044
2045 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2046 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2047 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2048
2049 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2050 [Bodo Moeller]
2051
2052 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2053 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2054 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2055 [Steve Henson]
2056
2057 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2058 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2059
2060 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2061
2062 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2063
2064 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2065
2066 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2067 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2068
2069 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2070 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2071 ambiguous.
2072 [Steve Henson]
2073
2074 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2075
2076 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2077 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2078 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2079 [Steve Henson]
2080
2081 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2082 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2083 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2084 [Ben Laurie]
2085
2086 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2087
2088 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2089 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2090 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2094 a DLL.
2095 [Steve Henson]
2096
2097 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2098
2099 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2100 (CVE-2010-1633)
2101 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2102
2103 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2104
2105 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2106 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2107 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2108 [Steve Henson]
2109
2110 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2111 [Steve Henson]
2112
2113 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2114 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2115 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2116
2117 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2118 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2119 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2120 [Steve Henson]
2121
2122 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2123 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2124 [Steve Henson]
2125
2126 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2127 some responders need this.
2128 [Steve Henson]
2129
2130 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2131 correctly.
2132 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2133
2134 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2135 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2136 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2137 [Steve Henson]
2138
2139 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2140 [Steve Henson]
2141
2142 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2143 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2144 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2145 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2146 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2147 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2148 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2149 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2150 [Steve Henson]
2151
2152 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2153 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2154 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2155 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2156
2157 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2158 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2159
2160 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2161 be used on C++.
2162 [Steve Henson]
2163
2164 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2165 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2166 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2167 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2168 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2169 attempting to work them out.
2170 [Steve Henson]
2171
2172 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2173 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2174 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2175 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2176 [Steve Henson]
2177
2178 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2179 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2180 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2181 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2182 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2183 [Steve Henson]
2184
2185 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2186 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2187 you can do:
2188
2189 openssl sha256 foo
2190
2191 as well as:
2192
2193 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2194
2195 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2196
2197 [Steve Henson]
2198
2199 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2200 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2201
2202 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2203 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2204
2205 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2206 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2207 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2208 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2209 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2210 [Steve Henson]
2211
2212 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2213 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2214 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2215 [Steve Henson]
2216
2217 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2218 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2219 [Steve Henson]
2220
2221 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2222 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2223
2224 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2225 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2226 [Steve Henson]
2227
2228 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2229 [Ben Laurie]
2230
2231 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2232 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2233 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2234 CONF_VALUE.
2235 [Ben Laurie]
2236
2237 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2238 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2239 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2240 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2241 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2242 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2243 [Steve Henson]
2244
2245 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2246 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2247
2248 This work was sponsored by Google.
2249 [Steve Henson]
2250
2251 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2252 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2253 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2254 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2255 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2256 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2257 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2258 default.
2259
2260 This work was sponsored by Google.
2261 [Steve Henson]
2262
2263 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2264
2265 This work was sponsored by Google.
2266 [Steve Henson]
2267
2268 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2269 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2270 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2271 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2272
2273 This work was sponsored by Google.
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2277 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2278 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2279 CRL functionality in future.
2280
2281 This work was sponsored by Google.
2282 [Steve Henson]
2283
2284 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2285
2286 This work was sponsored by Google.
2287 [Steve Henson]
2288
2289 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2290 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2291
2292 This work was sponsored by Google.
2293 [Steve Henson]
2294
2295 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2296 and URI types are currently supported.
2297
2298 This work was sponsored by Google.
2299 [Steve Henson]
2300
2301 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2302 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2303 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2304 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2305 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2306 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2307 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2308 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2309
2310 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2311 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2312 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2313
2314 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2315 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2316 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2317 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2318
2319 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2320 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2321 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2322 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2323 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2324 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2325 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2326 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2327 of &errno.)
2328 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2329
2330 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2331 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2332 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2333
2334 This work was sponsored by Google.
2335 [Steve Henson]
2336
2337 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2338 [Ben Laurie]
2339
2340 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2341 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2342 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2343 [Ben Laurie]
2344
2345 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2346 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2347 [Nick Mathewson]
2348
2349 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2350 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2351 [Ben Laurie]
2352
2353 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2354 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2355 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2356 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2357 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2358 content types and variants.
2359 [Steve Henson]
2360
2361 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2362 [Steve Henson]
2363
2364 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2365 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2366 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2367 files from the associated perl scripts.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2371 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2372 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2373
2374 *) s390x assembler pack.
2375 [Andy Polyakov]
2376
2377 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2378 "family."
2379 [Andy Polyakov]
2380
2381 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2382 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2383 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2384 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2385 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2386 to use. For example, specify an option
2387
2388 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2389
2390 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2391 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2392 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2393 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2394 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2395 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2396
2397 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2398 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2399 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2400 return non-zero for success.
2401
2402 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2403 by using
2404
2405 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2406 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2407
2408 where
2409
2410 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2411 void *arg;
2412
2413 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2414 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2415 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2416 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2417 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2418 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2419 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2420 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2421 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2422
2423 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2424 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2425 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2426 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2427 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2428 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2429
2430 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2431 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2432 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2433 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2434 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2435 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2436
2437 [Bodo Moeller]
2438
2439 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2440 MAC.
2441
2442 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2443
2444 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2445 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2446 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2447 supported.
2448
2449 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2450 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2451 SSL_SESSION.
2452
2453 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2454 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2455 with no application modification.
2456
2457 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2458 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2459
2460 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2461 or server extensions to be examined.
2462
2463 This work was sponsored by Google.
2464 [Steve Henson]
2465
2466 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2467 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2468 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2471 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2472 ciphersuite support.
2473 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2476 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2477 to output in BER and PEM format.
2478 [Steve Henson]
2479
2480 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2481 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2482 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2483 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2484 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2488 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2489 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2490 utility.
2491 [Steve Henson]
2492
2493 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2494 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2495 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2496 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2497 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2498 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2499 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2500 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2501 enabled again.
2502
2503 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2504 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2505 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2506 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2507
2508 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2509 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2510 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2511 the default order.
2512 [Bodo Moeller]
2513
2514 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2515 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2516 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2517 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2518 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2519 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2520 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2521 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2522 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2523
2524 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2525 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2526 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2527 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2528 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2529 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2530 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2531 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2532 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2533 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2534 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2535 kinds of kludges.
2536
2537 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2538 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2539 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2540
2541 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2542 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2543 "CAMELLIA256".
2544 [Bodo Moeller]
2545
2546 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2547 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2548 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2549 [Nils Larsch]
2550
2551 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2552 it yet and it is largely untested.
2553 [Steve Henson]
2554
2555 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2556 [Nils Larsch]
2557
2558 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2559 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2560 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2561 [Steve Henson]
2562
2563 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2564 [Andy Polyakov]
2565
2566 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2567 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2568 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2569 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2570 [Steve Henson]
2571
2572 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2573 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2574 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2575 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2576 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2577 [Steve Henson]
2578
2579 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2580 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2581 [Cryptocom]
2582
2583 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2584 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2585 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2586 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2587 [Steve Henson]
2588
2589 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2590 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2591 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2592 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2593 [Steve Henson]
2594
2595 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2596 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2597 [Steve Henson]
2598
2599 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2600 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2601 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2602 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2603 [Steve Henson]
2604
2605 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2606 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2607 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2608 [Steve Henson]
2609
2610 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2611 utility.
2612 [Steve Henson]
2613
2614 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2615 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2619 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2620 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2621 if necessary.
2622 [Steve Henson]
2623
2624 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2625 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2626 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2627 [Steve Henson]
2628
2629 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2630 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2631 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2632 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2633 [Steve Henson]
2634
2635 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2636 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2637 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2638 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2639 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2640 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2641 [Douglas Stebila]
2642
2643 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2644 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2645 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2646 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2647 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2648
2649 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2650 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2651 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2652 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2653 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2654 protocol).
2655
2656 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2657 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2658 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2659 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2660
2661 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2662 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2663 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2664 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2665 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2666
2667 aECDH - ECDH cert
2668 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
2669 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
2670
2671 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2672 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2673
2674 [Bodo Moeller]
2675
2676 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2677 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2678 [Steve Henson]
2679
2680 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2681 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2682 [Steve Henson]
2683
2684 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2685 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2686 functional reference processing.
2687 [Steve Henson]
2688
2689 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2690 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2691 process.
2692 [Steve Henson]
2693
2694 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2695 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2696 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2697 [Steve Henson]
2698
2699 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2700 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2701 application to support multiple signers.
2702 [Steve Henson]
2703
2704 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2705 digest MAC.
2706 [Steve Henson]
2707
2708 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2709 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2710 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2711 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2712 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2713 [Steve Henson]
2714
2715 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2716 new API.
2717 [Steve Henson]
2718
2719 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2720 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2721 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2722 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2723 a no op.
2724 [Steve Henson]
2725
2726 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2727 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2728 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2729 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2730 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2731 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2732 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2733 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2734 [Steve Henson]
2735
2736 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2737 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2738 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2739 between digests and public key types.
2740 [Steve Henson]
2741
2742 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2743 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2744 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2745 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2746 [Steve Henson]
2747
2748 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2749 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2750 key ASN1 method.
2751 [Steve Henson]
2752
2753 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2754 [Steve Henson]
2755
2756 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2757 pkeyutl.
2758 [Steve Henson]
2759
2760 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2761 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2762 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2763 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2764 pkey, genpkey.
2765 [Steve Henson]
2766
2767 *) BeOS support.
2768 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2769
2770 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2771 manual pages.
2772 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2773
2774 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2775 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2776 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2777 functionality for RSA.
2778 [Steve Henson]
2779
2780 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2781 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2782 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2783 [Steve Henson]
2784
2785 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2786 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2787 [Steve Henson]
2788
2789 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2790 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2791 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2792 [Steve Henson]
2793
2794 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2795 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2796 [Douglas Stebila]
2797
2798 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2799 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2800 [Steve Henson]
2801
2802 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2803 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2804 type.
2805 [Steve Henson]
2806
2807 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2808 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2809 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2810 structure.
2811 [Steve Henson]
2812
2813 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2814 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2815 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2816 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2817 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2818 of public and private key structures.
2819 [Steve Henson]
2820
2821 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2822 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2823 [Douglas Stebila]
2824
2825 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2826 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2827 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2828
2829 New ciphersuites:
2830 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2831 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
2832
2833 New functions:
2834 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2835 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2836 SSL_get_psk_identity
2837 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2838
2839 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2840
2841 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2842 and response verification functionality.
2843 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2844
2845 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2846 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2847 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2848 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2849 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2850 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2851 server_name extension.
2852
2853 New functions (subject to change):
2854
2855 SSL_get_servername()
2856 SSL_get_servername_type()
2857 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
2858
2859 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2860
2861 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2862 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2863 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2864 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2865 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2866
2867 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2868
2869 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2870 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2871 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2872 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2873 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2874 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2875 option.
2876
2877 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2878
2879 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2880 [Andy Polyakov]
2881
2882 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2883 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2884 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2885 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2886 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2887 [Andy Polyakov]
2888
2889 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2890 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2891 macro.
2892 [Bodo Moeller]
2893
2894 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2895 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2896 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2897 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2898 [Andy Polyakov]
2899
2900 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2901 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2902 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2903 using the maximum available value.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2907 in addition to the text details.
2908 [Bodo Moeller]
2909
2910 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2911 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2912 handle several customised structures at all.
2913 [Steve Henson]
2914
2915 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2916 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2917 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2918 [Steve Henson]
2919
2920 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2921 [Steve Henson]
2922
2923 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2924 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2925 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2929 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2930 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2931 [Nils Larsch]
2932
2933 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2934 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2935 all fields.
2936 [Steve Henson]
2937
2938 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2939 [Steve Henson]
2940
2941 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2942 [NTT]
2943
2944 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2945
2946 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2947 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2948 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2949 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2950 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2951 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2952 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2953 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2954
2955 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2956 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2957 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2958
2959 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2960
2961 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2962 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2963
2964 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2965 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2966 [Bodo Moeller]
2967
2968 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2969 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2970 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2971 [Steve Henson]
2972
2973 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2974 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2975 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2976 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2977 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2978 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2979 [Steve Henson]
2980
2981 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2982 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2983 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2984 [Steve Henson]
2985
2986 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2987 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2988 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2989 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2990 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2991 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2992 CVE-2009-4355.
2993 [Steve Henson]
2994
2995 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2996 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2997 [Bodo Moeller]
2998
2999 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3000 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3001 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3002 [Steve Henson]
3003
3004 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3005 [Steve Henson]
3006
3007 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3008 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3009 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3010 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3011 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3012 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3013 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3014 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3015 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3016 [Steve Henson]
3017
3018 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3019 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3020 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3021 [Steve Henson]
3022
3023 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3024 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3025 [Steve Henson]
3026
3027 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3028 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3029 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3030 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3031 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3032 know what you are doing.
3033 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3034
3035 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3036 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3037 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3038 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3039 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3040 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3041 the handshake.
3042 [Steve Henson]
3043
3044 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3045 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3046 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3047 correctly.
3048 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3049
3050 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3051 warnings in other configurations.
3052 [Steve Henson]
3053
3054 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3055 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3056 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3057 systems need.
3058 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3059
3060 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3061 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3062 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3063
3064 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3065 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3066 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3067 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3068 [Steve Henson]
3069
3070 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3071 and restored.
3072 [Steve Henson]
3073
3074 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3075 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3076 clash.
3077 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3078
3079 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3080 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3081 other than a simple chain.
3082 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3083
3084 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3085 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3086 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3087 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3088 [Steve Henson]
3089
3090 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3091 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3092 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3093 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3094 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3095 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3096 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3097 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3098 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3099
3100 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3101 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3102 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3103 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3104 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
3105 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3106 (CVE-2009-1377)
3107 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3108
3109 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3110 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3111 [Daniel Mentz]
3112
3113 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3114 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3115
3116 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
3117 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3118
3119 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3120
3121 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3122 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3123 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3124 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3125 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3126 you're doing.
3127 [Ben Laurie]
3128
3129 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3130
3131 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3132 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3133 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3134 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3135
3136 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3137 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3138 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3139 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3140
3141 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3142 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3143 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3144 [Steve Henson]
3145
3146 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3147 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3148 level.
3149 [Steve Henson]
3150
3151 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3152 to handle some structures.
3153 [Steve Henson]
3154
3155 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3156 for a '\n'
3157 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3158
3159 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3160 [Matthieu Herrb]
3161
3162 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3163 [Steve Henson]
3164
3165 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3166 [Steve Henson]
3167
3168 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3169 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3170 chosen compiler.
3171 [Ben Laurie]
3172
3173 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3174
3175 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3176 (CVE-2008-5077).
3177 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3178
3179 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3180 [Ben Laurie]
3181
3182 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3183 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3184 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3185 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3186
3187 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3188 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3189
3190 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3191 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3192 [Bodo Moeller]
3193
3194 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3195 s_client and s_server.
3196 [Ben Laurie]
3197
3198 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3199 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3200
3201 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3202 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3203
3204 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3205 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3206 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3207 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3208 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3209 [Bodo Moeller]
3210
3211 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3212
3213 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3214 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3215 [PR #1679]
3216
3217 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3218 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3219 [Nagendra Modadugu]
3220
3221 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3222 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3223 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3224 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3225
3226 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3227 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3228
3229 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3230
3231 *) Various precautionary measures:
3232
3233 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3234
3235 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3236 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3237 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3238
3239 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3240 outside the expected range.
3241
3242 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3243 builds.
3244
3245 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3246
3247 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3248 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3249 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3250
3251 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3252 [Steve Henson]
3253
3254 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3255 [Huang Ying]
3256
3257 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3258
3259 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3260 [Steve Henson]
3261
3262 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3263 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3264 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3265
3266 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3267 [Steve Henson]
3268
3269 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3270 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3271 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3272 files.
3273 [Steve Henson]
3274
3275 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3276
3277 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3278 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3279 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3280 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3281
3282 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3283 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3284 [Joe Orton]
3285
3286 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3287
3288 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3289 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3290 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3291
3292 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3293
3294 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3295 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3296 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3297 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3298 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3299
3300 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3301 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3302 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3303 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3304 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3305 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3306 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3307
3308 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3309
3310 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3311 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3312 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3313 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3314 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3315
3316 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3317 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3318
3319 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3320 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3321 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3322 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3323 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3324
3325 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3326
3327 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3328 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3329 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3330 sets may exist with different names.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3334 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3335 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3336 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3337 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3338 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3339 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3340 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3341 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3342 implementation.
3343 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3344
3345 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3346 implemention in the following ways:
3347
3348 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3349 hard coded.
3350
3351 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3352 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3353 ignored for embedded content.
3354
3355 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3356 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3357 [Steve Henson]
3358
3359 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3360 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3361 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3362 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3363
3364 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3365 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3366 [Steve Henson]
3367
3368 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3369 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3370 [Steve Henson]
3371
3372 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3373 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3374 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3375 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3376 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3377 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3378 data.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3382 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3383 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3384
3385 *) Netware support:
3386
3387 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3388 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3389 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3390 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3391 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3392 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3393 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3394 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3395 platform
3396 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3397 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3398 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3399 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3400 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3401 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3402 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3403
3404 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3405 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3406 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3407 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3408 to s_client and s_server.
3409 [Steve Henson]
3410
3411 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3412
3413 *) Fix various bugs:
3414 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3415 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3416 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3417 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3418 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3419
3420 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3421
3422 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3423 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3424 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3425 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3426 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3427 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3428 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3429 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3430 [Andy Polyakov]
3431
3432 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3433 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3434 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3435 Steve Henson]
3436
3437 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3438 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3439 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3440 supported.
3441
3442 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3443 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3444 SSL_SESSION.
3445
3446 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3447 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3448 with no application modification.
3449
3450 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3451 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3452
3453 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3454 or server extensions to be examined.
3455
3456 This work was sponsored by Google.
3457 [Steve Henson]
3458
3459 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3460 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3461 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3462 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3463 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3464 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3465 server_name extension.
3466
3467 New functions (subject to change):
3468
3469 SSL_get_servername()
3470 SSL_get_servername_type()
3471 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3472
3473 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3474
3475 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3476 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3477 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3478 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3479 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3480
3481 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3482
3483 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3484 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3485 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3486 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3487 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3488 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3489 option.
3490
3491 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3492
3493 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3494 [Steve Henson]
3495
3496 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3497 [Andy Polyakov]
3498
3499 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3500 (which previously caused an internal error).
3501 [Bodo Moeller]
3502
3503 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3504 [Ben Laurie]
3505
3506 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3507 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3508
3509 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3510 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3511 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3512
3513 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3514 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3515 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3516 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3517
3518 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3519 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3520 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3521 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3522
3523 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3524 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3525 information. For detailed background information, see
3526 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3527 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3528 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3529 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3530 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3531 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3532 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3533 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3534 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3535 remove a conditional branch.
3536
3537 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3538 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3539 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3540 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3541 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3542 remains as a deprecated alias.
3543
3544 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3545 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3546 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3547 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3548
3549 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3550 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3551 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3552 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3553 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3554 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3555 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3556 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3557
3558 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3559
3560 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3561 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3562 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3563 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3564 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3565 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3566 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3567 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3568 in a different context.
3569 [Bodo Moeller]
3570
3571 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3572 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3573 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3574 [Bodo Moeller]
3575
3576 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3577 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3578 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3579
3580 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3581
3582 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3583 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3584 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3585 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3586 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3587 [Victor Duchovni]
3588
3589 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3590 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3591 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3592 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3593 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3594 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3595 [Bodo Moeller]
3596
3597 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3598 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3599 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3600 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3601 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3602 [Bodo Moeller]
3603
3604 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3605 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3606
3607 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3608 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3609 Improve header file function name parsing.
3610 [Steve Henson]
3611
3612 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3613 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3614 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
3615
3616 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3617
3618 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3619 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3620 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3621
3622 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3623 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3624
3625 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3626 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3627
3628 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3629 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3630 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3631
3632 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3633 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3634 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3635 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3636 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3637 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3638 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3639 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3640 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3641
3642 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3643 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3644 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3645 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3646 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3647
3648 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3649 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3650 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3651 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3652 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3653 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3654 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3655 multiple values to extend the available space.
3656
3657 [Bodo Moeller]
3658
3659 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3660
3661 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3662 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3663
3664 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3665 [Ben Laurie]
3666
3667 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3668 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3669 undesirable limitations.
3670 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3671
3672 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3673 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3674 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3675 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3676 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3677 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3678 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3679 [Bodo Moeller]
3680
3681 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3682
3683 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3684 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3685 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3686
3687 The latter two were purportedly from
3688 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3689 appear there.
3690
3691 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3692 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3693 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3694 [Bodo Moeller]
3695
3696 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3697 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3698 [Bodo Moeller]
3699
3700 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3701 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3702 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3703 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3704
3705 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3706 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3707 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3708 [NTT]
3709
3710 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3711 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3712 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3713 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3714 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3715 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3716 [Steve Henson]
3717
3718 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3719
3720 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3721 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3722 [Steve Henson]
3723
3724 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3725 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3726
3727 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3728 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3729 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3730 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3731 [Douglas Stebila]
3732
3733 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3734 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3735 [Steve Henson]
3736
3737 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3738 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3739 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3740 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3741 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3742 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3743 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3744 can't be loaded.
3745 [Steve Henson]
3746
3747 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3748 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3749 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3750 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3751 [Steve Henson]
3752
3753 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3754 under VC++ build system.
3755 [Steve Henson]
3756
3757 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3758 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3759 [Richard Levitte]
3760
3761 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3762
3763 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3764 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3765 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3766 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3767 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3768
3769 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3770 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3771 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3772
3773 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3774 [Steve Henson]
3775
3776 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3777 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3778 [Nils Larsch]
3779
3780 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3781 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3782
3783 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3784 [Nick Mathewson]
3785
3786 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3787 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3788
3789 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3790 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3791 [Steve Henson]
3792
3793 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3794 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3795 smime utility.
3796 [Steve Henson]
3797
3798 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3799
3800 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3801 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
3802
3803 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3804 [Richard Levitte]
3805
3806 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3807 key into the same file any more.
3808 [Richard Levitte]
3809
3810 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3811 [Andy Polyakov]
3812
3813 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3814 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3815
3816 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3817 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3818 [Richard Levitte]
3819
3820 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3821 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3822 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3823 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3824 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3825 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3826
3827 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3828 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3829 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3830 [Steve Henson]
3831
3832 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3833 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3834 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3835 - add new function for parameter creation
3836 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3837 BN_BLINDING parameters
3838 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3839 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3840 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3841 threads.
3842 [Nils Larsch]
3843
3844 *) Add support for DTLS.
3845 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3846
3847 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3848 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3849 [Walter Goulet]
3850
3851 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3852 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3853 [Nils Larsch]
3854
3855 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3856 the apps/openssl applications.
3857 [Nils Larsch]
3858
3859 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3860 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3861 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3862 [Ben Laurie]
3863
3864 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3865 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3866
3867 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3868 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3869
3870 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3871 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3872 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3873 avoid this algorithm.)
3874
3875 [Bodo Moeller]
3876
3877 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3878 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3879 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3880 [Richard Levitte]
3881
3882 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3883 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3884 [Andy Polyakov]
3885
3886 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3887 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3888 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3889 pod file:
3890
3891 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3892
3893 The blank line is mandatory.
3894
3895 [Steve Henson]
3896
3897 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3898 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3899 sources.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3903 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3904
3905 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3906 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3907 to support policy checking and print out.
3908 [Steve Henson]
3909
3910 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3911 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3912 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3913 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3914
3915 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3916 [Geoff Thorpe]
3917
3918 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3919 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3920
3921 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3922 implementation contributed by IBM.
3923 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3924
3925 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3926 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3927 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3928 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3929
3930 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3931 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3932
3933 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3934 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3935 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3936 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3937 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3938 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3939 [Steve Henson]
3940
3941 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3942 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3943 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3944 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3945 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3946 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3947 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3948 [Geoff Thorpe]
3949
3950 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3951 [Steve Henson]
3952
3953 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3954 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3955 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3956 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3957 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3958 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3959 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3960 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3961 [Steve Henson]
3962
3963 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3964 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3965 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3966 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3967 [Steve Henson]
3968
3969 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3970 syntax:
3971
3972 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3976 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3977 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3978 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3979 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3980 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3981 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3982 [Geoff Thorpe]
3983
3984 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3985 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3986 [Geoff Thorpe]
3987
3988 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3989 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3990 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3991 [Steve Henson]
3992
3993 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3994 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3995 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3996 below).
3997 [Geoff Thorpe]
3998
3999 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4000 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4001 [Richard Levitte]
4002
4003 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4004 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4005 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4006 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4007 [Geoff Thorpe]
4008
4009 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4010 initialised value as BN_new().
4011 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4012
4013 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4014 [Steve Henson]
4015
4016 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4017 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4018 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4019 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4020 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4021 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4022 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4023 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4024 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4025 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4026 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4027 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4028 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4029 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4030 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4031
4032 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4033 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4034 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4035 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4036 [Geoff Thorpe]
4037
4038 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4039 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4040 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4041 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4042 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4043 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4044 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4045 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4046 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4047 [Geoff Thorpe]
4048
4049 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4050 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4051 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4052 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4053 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4054 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4055 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4056 [Geoff Thorpe]
4057
4058 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4059 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4060 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4061 these have been updated also.
4062 [Geoff Thorpe]
4063
4064 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4065 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4066 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4067 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4068 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4069 functions.
4070 [Steve Henson]
4071
4072 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4073 structure of type "other".
4074 [Steve Henson]
4075
4076 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4077 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4078 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4079 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4080 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4081 situation in the script.
4082 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4083
4084 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4085 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4086 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4087 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4088 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4089 used as premaster secret.
4090 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4091
4092 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4093 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4094 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4095
4096 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4097 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4098
4099 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4100 control of the error stack.
4101 [Richard Levitte]
4102
4103 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4104 [Richard Levitte]
4105
4106 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4107 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4108 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4109 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4110 [Richard Levitte]
4111
4112 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4113 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4114 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4115 [Richard Levitte]
4116
4117 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4118 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4119 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4120 a memory area.
4121 [Richard Levitte]
4122
4123 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4124 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4125 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4126 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4127 [Richard Levitte]
4128
4129 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4130 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4131 the following flags are defined:
4132
4133 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4134 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4135 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4136 number.
4137
4138 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4139 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4140 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4141 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4142 returns zero.
4143 [Richard Levitte]
4144
4145 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4146 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4147 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4148 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4149 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4150 [Richard Levitte]
4151
4152 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4153 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4154 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4155 [Richard Levitte]
4156
4157 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4158 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4159 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4160 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4161 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4162 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4163 [Richard Levitte]
4164
4165 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4166 req and dirName.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4170 [Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4173 [Steve Henson]
4174
4175 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4176 [Steve Henson]
4177
4178 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4179 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4180 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4181 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4182 default implementation more easily.
4183 [Geoff Thorpe]
4184
4185 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4186 in config files.
4187 [Steve Henson]
4188
4189 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4190 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4191 [Richard Levitte]
4192
4193 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4194 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4195 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4196 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4197
4198 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4199 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4200 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4201 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4202 [Steve Henson]
4203
4204 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4205 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4206 to do it.
4207 [Richard Levitte]
4208
4209 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4210 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4211 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4212 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4213 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4214 scalar * generator).
4215 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4216
4217 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4218 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4219 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4220 correctly.
4221 [Steve Henson]
4222
4223 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4224 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4225 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4226 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4227 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4228 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4229 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4230 linker additions, eg;
4231 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4232 [Geoff Thorpe]
4233
4234 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4235 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4236 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4237 [Geoff Thorpe]
4238
4239 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4240 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4241 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4242 via PR#459)
4243 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4244
4245 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4246 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4247 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4248 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4249 [Geoff Thorpe]
4250
4251 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4252 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4253 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4254 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4255 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4256 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4257 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4258 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4259 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4260 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4261
4262 Example for using the new callback interface:
4263
4264 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4265 void *my_arg = ...;
4266 BN_GENCB my_cb;
4267
4268 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4269
4270 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4271 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4272 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4273 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4274 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4275 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4276 */
4277
4278 [Geoff Thorpe]
4279
4280 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4281 available to TLS with the number defined in
4282 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4283 [Richard Levitte]
4284
4285 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4286 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4287
4288 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4289 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4290 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4291 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4292
4293 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4294 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4295
4296 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4297 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4298 well.
4299 [Richard Levitte]
4300
4301 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4302 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4303 [Richard Levitte]
4304
4305 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4306 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4307 and a macro that behave like
4308 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4309
4310 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
4311 [Nils Larsch]
4312
4313 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
4314 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
4315 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
4316 if applicable.
4317 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4318
4319 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4320 [Bodo Moeller]
4321
4322 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4323 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4324 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4325 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4326 directory engines/.
4327 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4328 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4329 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4330 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4331 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4332 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4333 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4334 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4335
4336 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4337 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4338 [Richard Levitte]
4339
4340 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4341 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4342
4343 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4344 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4345 files while avoiding the low level API.
4346
4347 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4348 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4349 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4350 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4351
4352 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4353 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4354 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4355 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4356 instead of the low level API.
4357 [Steve Henson]
4358
4359 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4360 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4361 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4362 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4363 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4364 PKCS#7 code.
4365
4366 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4367 down to the template encoder.
4368 [Steve Henson]
4369
4370 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4371 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4372 [Bodo Moeller]
4373
4374 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4375 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4376 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4377 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4378
4379 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4380 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4381
4382 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4383 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4384
4385 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4386 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4387 [Bodo Moeller]
4388
4389 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4390 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4391 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4392 [Bodo Moeller]
4393
4394 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4395 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4396
4397 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4398 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4399
4400 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4401 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4402 New EC_METHOD:
4403
4404 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4405
4406 New API functions:
4407
4408 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4409 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4410 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4411 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4412 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4413 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4414
4415 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4416 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4417 enable it).
4418
4419 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4420 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4421 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4422 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4423 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4424 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4425 various internal method names.)
4426
4427 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4428 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4429
4430 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4431 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4432
4433 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4434 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4435
4436 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4437 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4438 methods are undefined.
4439
4440 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4441 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4442
4443 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4444 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4445 length of the modulus.
4446
4447 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4448 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4449
4450 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4451 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4452
4453 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4454 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4455
4456 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4457 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4458 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4459
4460 BN_GF2m_add
4461 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4462 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4463 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4464 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4465 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
4466 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4467 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4468 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4469 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4470
4471 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4472 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4473
4474 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4475 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4476 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4477 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4478 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4479 where
4480 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4481 This applies to the following functions:
4482
4483 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
4484 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
4485 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
4486 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4487 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4488 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
4489 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4490 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4491 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4492 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4493
4494 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4495
4496 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
4497 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
4498
4499 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4500
4501 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4502 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4503 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4504 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4505 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4506
4507 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4508 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4509
4510 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4511 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4512 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4513
4514 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4515 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4516
4517 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4518 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4519 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4520 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4521 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4522
4523 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4524 functions
4525 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4526 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4527 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4528 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4529 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4530 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4531 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4532 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4533 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4534 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4535 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4536 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4537
4538 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4539 functions
4540 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
4541 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4542 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4543 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4544 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4545
4546 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4547 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4548 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4549 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4550
4551 *) Add functions
4552 EC_POINT_point2bn()
4553 EC_POINT_bn2point()
4554 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4555 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4556 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4557 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4558 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4559
4560 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4561 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4562 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4563 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4564 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4565 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4566 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4567 adding different types of curves.
4568 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4569
4570 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4571 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4572 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4573 [Bodo Moeller]
4574
4575 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4576 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4577
4578 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4579 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4580 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4581 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4582
4583 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4584
4585 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4586 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4587
4588 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4589 library. Most notably,
4590 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4591 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4592 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4593 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4594 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4595 extracted before the specific public key;
4596 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4597 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4598
4599 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4600 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4601 function
4602 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4603 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4604 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4605 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4606 accessed via
4607 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4608 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4609 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4610
4611 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4612 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4613 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4614 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4615 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4616 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4617 differing sizes.
4618 [Richard Levitte]
4619
4620 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
4621
4622 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4623 sensitive data.
4624 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4625
4626 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4627 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4628 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4629 [Bodo Moeller]
4630
4631 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4632 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4633 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4634 [Victor Duchovni]
4635
4636 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4637 [Steve Henson]
4638
4639 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4640 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4641 [Steve Henson]
4642
4643 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4644 run algorithm test programs.
4645 [Steve Henson]
4646
4647 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4648 [Steve Henson]
4649
4650 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4651 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4652 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4653 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4654 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4655 [Bodo Moeller]
4656
4657 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4658 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4659 [Steve Henson]
4660
4661 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4662
4663 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4664 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4665 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4666
4667 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4668 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4669
4670 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4671 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4672
4673 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4674 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4675 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4676
4677 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4678 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4679 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4680 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4681 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4682 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4683 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4684 [Bodo Moeller]
4685
4686 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4687
4688 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4689 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4690
4691 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4692 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4693 undesirable limitations.
4694 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4695
4696 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4697
4698 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4699 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4700 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4701
4702 The latter two were purportedly from
4703 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4704 appear there.
4705
4706 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4707 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4708 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4709 [Bodo Moeller]
4710
4711 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4712 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4713 [Bodo Moeller]
4714
4715 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4716
4717 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4718 module in FIPS mode.
4719 [Steve Henson]
4720
4721 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4722 [Steve Henson]
4723
4724 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4725 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4726 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4727 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4728 [Steve Henson]
4729
4730 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4731
4732 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4733 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4734 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4735 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4736 the difference induced by this change.
4737 [Andy Polyakov]
4738
4739 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4740
4741 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4742 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4743 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4744 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4745 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4746
4747 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4748 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4749 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4750
4751 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4752 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4753 [Steve Henson]
4754
4755 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4756 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4757 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4758 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4759 biased k.)
4760 [Bodo Moeller]
4761
4762 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4763 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4764 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4765 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4766 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4767
4768 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4769 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4770 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4771 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4772 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4773 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4774
4775 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4776
4777 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4778 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4779 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4780 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4781 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4782 [Bodo Moeller]
4783
4784 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4785 clients need.
4786 [Steve Henson]
4787
4788 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4789 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4790 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4791 [Steve Henson]
4792
4793 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4794 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4795 structures constant.
4796 [Steve Henson]
4797
4798 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4799
4800 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4801 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4802
4803 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4804 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4805 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4806 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4807 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4808 some needed definitions.
4809 [Steve Henson]
4810
4811 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4812 [Ulf Möller]
4813
4814 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4815 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4816 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4817 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4818 [Richard Levitte]
4819
4820 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4821
4822 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4823 server and client random values. Previously
4824 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4825 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4826
4827 This change has negligible security impact because:
4828
4829 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4830 data.
4831
4832 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4833 handshake.
4834
4835 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4836 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4837 values.
4838
4839 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4840 to our attention.
4841
4842 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4843
4844 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4845 [Ulf Möller]
4846
4847 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4848 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4849 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4850
4851 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4852 [Steve Henson]
4853
4854 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4855 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4856 [Andy Polyakov]
4857
4858 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4859 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4860 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4861
4862 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4863 [Steve Henson]
4864
4865 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4866 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4867 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4868 certificates.
4869 [Steve Henson]
4870
4871 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4872 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4873 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4874 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4875
4876 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4877 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4878 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4879 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4880 been given)
4881 [Richard Levitte]
4882
4883 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4884
4885 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4886 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4887 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4888 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4889 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4890 [Steve Henson]
4891
4892 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4893 [Steve Henson]
4894
4895 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4896 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4897
4898 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4899 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4900 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4901 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4902 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4903 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4904 rather than being initialized to 1.
4905 [Steve Henson]
4906
4907 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4908
4909 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4910 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4911 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4912
4913 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4914 (CVE-2004-0112)
4915 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4916
4917 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4918 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4919 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4920 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4921 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4922 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4923 [Richard Levitte]
4924
4925 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4926 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4927 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4928 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4929 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4930 for these cases.
4931 [Steve Henson]
4932
4933 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4934 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4935 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4936 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4937 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4938 [Steve Henson]
4939
4940 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4941 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4942 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4943 < 0.9.7.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4947 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4948
4949 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4950 [Steve Henson]
4951
4952 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4953
4954 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4955
4956 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4957 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4958
4959 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4960
4961 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4962 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4963
4964 [Steve Henson]
4965
4966 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4967 exiting on the first error in a request.
4968 [Steve Henson]
4969
4970 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4971 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4972 specifications.
4973 [Steve Henson]
4974
4975 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4976 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4977 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4978 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4979
4980 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4981 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4982 [Richard Levitte]
4983
4984 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4985 blocks during encryption.
4986 [Richard Levitte]
4987
4988 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4989 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4990 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4991 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4992 certain size.
4993 [Steve Henson]
4994
4995 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4996 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4997 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4998 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4999 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5000 parser.
5001 [Steve Henson]
5002
5003 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5004
5005 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5006 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5007 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5008 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5009 [Bodo Moeller]
5010
5011 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5012 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5013 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5014 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5015 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5016
5017 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5018 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5019 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5020 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5021 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5022 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5023 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5024 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5025 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5026 [Bodo Moeller]
5027
5028 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5029 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5030 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5031 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5032 [Geoff Thorpe]
5033
5034 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5035 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5036 [Ulf Moeller]
5037
5038 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5039
5040 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5041 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5042 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5043 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5044 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5045
5046 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5047 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5048 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5049
5050 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5051 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5052 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5053 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5054 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5055
5056 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5057 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5058 used by default when no-err is given.
5059 [Richard Levitte]
5060
5061 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5062 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5063
5064 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5065 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5066 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5067 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5068 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5069
5070 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5071 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5072 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5073 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5074
5075 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5076
5077 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5078
5079 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5080
5081 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5082 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5083 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5084 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5085 root is omitted).
5086 [Steve Henson]
5087
5088 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5089 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5090
5091 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5092 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
5093 [Steve Henson]
5094
5095 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5096 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5097 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
5098 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
5099 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5100
5101 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
5102 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
5103 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
5104 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
5105 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
5106 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5107 followup to PR #377.
5108 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5109
5110 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
5111 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
5112 [Andy Polyakov]
5113
5114 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
5115 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
5116 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
5117 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
5118
5119 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
5120
5121 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
5122 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
5123
5124 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
5125 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
5126 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
5127 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
5128 client and server.
5129 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
5130 PR #377.
5131 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5132
5133 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
5134 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
5135 removed entirely.
5136 [Richard Levitte]
5137
5138 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
5139 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
5140 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
5141 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
5142 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
5143 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
5144 of libcrypto.
5145 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
5146 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
5147 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
5148 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
5149 have to be made anyway).
5150 [Richard Levitte]
5151
5152 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
5153 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
5154 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
5155 [Steve Henson]
5156
5157 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
5158 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
5159 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
5160 [Richard Levitte]
5161
5162 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
5163 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
5164 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5165
5166 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
5167 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
5168 edit numbers of the version.
5169 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5170
5171 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
5172 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
5173 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
5174
5175 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
5176 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5177
5178 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5179 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5180 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5181
5182 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
5183 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5184
5185 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
5186 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5187
5188 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
5189 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5190
5191 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
5192 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5193
5194 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
5195 overflows.
5196 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5197
5198 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
5199 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
5200 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5201
5202 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
5203 representations in a platform independent manner.
5204 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5205
5206 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
5207 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
5208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5209
5210 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
5211 indents.
5212 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5213
5214 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
5215 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5216
5217 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
5218 full. Fixed.
5219 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5220
5221 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
5222 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
5223 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5224
5225 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
5226 unconditionally).
5227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5228
5229 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
5230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5231
5232 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
5233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5234
5235 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
5236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5237
5238 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
5239 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5240
5241 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
5242 CBCParameter.
5243 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5244
5245 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
5246 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5247
5248 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
5249 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5250
5251 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
5252 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
5253 exploitable.
5254 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5255
5256 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
5257 the 0.9.6 release series:
5258
5259 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5260 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
5261 (CVE-2002-0657)
5262 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5263
5264 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
5265 [Richard Levitte]
5266
5267 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
5268 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
5269
5270 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
5271 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
5272
5273 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
5274 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
5275 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
5276 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
5277
5278 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
5279 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
5280 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
5281
5282 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
5283 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
5284 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
5285 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5286
5287 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
5288 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
5289 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
5290 some local tweaks:
5291
5292 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
5293 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
5294 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
5295 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5296 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
5297 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
5298 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
5299 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
5300 done
5301
5302 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
5303 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
5304 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
5305 [Richard Levitte]
5306
5307 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
5308 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
5309 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
5310 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
5311 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
5312
5313 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
5314 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
5315
5316 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
5317 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5318 [Richard Levitte]
5319
5320 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5321 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5322 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5323 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5324 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5325 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5326 [Steve Henson]
5327
5328 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5329 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5330 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5331 [Steve Henson]
5332
5333 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5334 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5335 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5336
5337 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5338 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5339 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5340 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5341 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5342 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5343 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5344 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5345
5346 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5347 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5348 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5349 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5350 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5351 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5352 [Steve Henson]
5353
5354 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5355 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5356 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5357 declaration has been changed from
5358 int (*cb)()
5359 into
5360 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5361 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5362 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5363 has been changed into
5364 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5365
5366 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5367 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5368 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5369
5370 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5371 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5372
5373 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5374 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5375 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5376 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5377 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5378 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5379 always load it have also been added.
5380 [Steve Henson]
5381
5382 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5383 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5384 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5385
5386 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5387
5388 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5389 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5390 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5391
5392 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5393 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5394 command line option can be used to specify an
5395 alternative file.
5396 [Steve Henson]
5397
5398 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5399 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5400 [Steve Henson]
5401
5402 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5403 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5404 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5405 [Steve Henson]
5406
5407 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5408 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5409 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5410 to work with the new engine framework.
5411 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5412
5413 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5414 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5415 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5416 to work with the new engine framework.
5417 [Richard Levitte]
5418
5419 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5420 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5421 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5422
5423 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5424 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5425
5426 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5427 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5428 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5429 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5430 FORMAT_IISSGC.
5431 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5432
5433 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5434 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5435
5436 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5437 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5438
5439 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5440 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5441 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5442 [Ben Laurie]
5443
5444 *) Add new functions
5445 ERR_peek_last_error
5446 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5447 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5448 These are similar to
5449 ERR_peek_error
5450 ERR_peek_error_line
5451 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5452 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5453 still in the error queue.
5454 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5455
5456 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5457 like:
5458 default_algorithms = ALL
5459 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5460 [Steve Henson]
5461
5462 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5463 [Steve Henson]
5464
5465 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5466 [Steve Henson]
5467
5468 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5469 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5470 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5471 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5472
5473 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5474 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5475
5476 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5477 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5478
5479 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5480 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5481 [Bodo Moeller]
5482
5483 *) New functions/macros
5484
5485 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5486 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5487 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5488 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5489
5490 to request calling a callback function
5491
5492 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5493 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5494
5495 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5496 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5497 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5498 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5499 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5500 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5501 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5502 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5503 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5504 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5505
5506 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5507 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5508 [Bodo Moeller]
5509
5510 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5511 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5512 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5513 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5514 the configuration scripts.
5515
5516 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5517 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5518 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5519
5520 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5521 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5522
5523 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5524 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5525 when reusing an existing buffer.
5526 [Bodo Moeller]
5527
5528 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5529 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5530 [Steve Henson]
5531
5532 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5533 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5534 [Ben Laurie]
5535
5536 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5537 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5538 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5539 has the same effect.
5540 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5541
5542 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5543 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5544 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5545 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5546 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5547 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5548 exception.
5549
5550 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5551 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5552 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5553 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5554
5555 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5556 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5557 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5558 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5559
5560 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5561 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5562 won't work.
5563
5564 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5565 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5566 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5567 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5568 default), and then completely removed.
5569 [Richard Levitte]
5570
5571 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5572 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5573 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5574 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5575 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5576 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5577 particular extension is supported.
5578 [Steve Henson]
5579
5580 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5581 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5582 [Steve Henson]
5583
5584 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5585 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5586 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5587 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5588 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5589 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5590 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5591 requires the destination to be valid.
5592
5593 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5594 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5595 [Steve Henson]
5596
5597 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5598 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5599 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5600 [Bodo Moeller]
5601
5602 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5603 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5604
5605 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5606 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5607 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5608 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5609 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5610 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5611 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5612 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5613 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5614 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5615 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5616 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5617 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5618 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5619 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5620 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5621 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5622 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5623 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5624 the new code.
5625 [Geoff Thorpe]
5626
5627 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5628 [Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5631 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5632 become part of libeay.num as well.
5633 [Richard Levitte]
5634
5635 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5636 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5637 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5638 false once a handshake has been completed.
5639 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5640 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5641 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5642 client has followed the request.)
5643 [Bodo Moeller]
5644
5645 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5646 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5647 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5648 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5649
5650 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5651 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5652 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5653 [Bodo Moeller]
5654
5655 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5656 [Steve Henson]
5657
5658 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5659 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5660 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5662
5663 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5664 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5665 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5666
5667 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5668 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5669 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5670 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5671 [Geoff Thorpe]
5672
5673 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5674 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5675 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5676 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5677 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5678 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5679 [Geoff Thorpe]
5680
5681 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5682 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5683 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5684 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5685 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5686 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5687 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5688 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5689 [Geoff Thorpe]
5690
5691 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5692 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5693 [Geoff Thorpe]
5694
5695 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5696 [Ben Laurie]
5697
5698 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5699 md_data void pointer.
5700 [Ben Laurie]
5701
5702 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5703 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5704 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5705 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5706 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5707 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5708 [Ben Laurie]
5709
5710 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5711 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5712 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5713 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5714 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5715 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5716 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5717 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5718 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5719 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5720 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5721 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5722 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5723 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5724 rather than letting it slide.
5725
5726 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5727 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5728 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5729 [Geoff Thorpe]
5730
5731 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5732 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5733 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5734 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5735 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5736 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5737 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5738 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5739 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5740 [Geoff Thorpe]
5741
5742 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5743 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5744 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5745 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5746 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5747
5748 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5749 [Geoff Thorpe]
5750
5751 *) Add EVP test program.
5752 [Ben Laurie]
5753
5754 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5755 [Ben Laurie]
5756
5757 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5758 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5759 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5760 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5761 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5762 [Steve Henson]
5763
5764 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5765 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5766 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5767 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5768 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5769 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5770 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5771
5772 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5773 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5774 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5775 Usage example:
5776
5777 EVP_MD_CTX md;
5778
5779 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5780 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5781 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5782 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5783 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5784
5785 [Ben Laurie]
5786
5787 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5788 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5789 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5790 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5791 anyway): E.g.,
5792
5793 des_key_schedule ks;
5794
5795 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5796 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5797
5798 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5799 [Ben Laurie]
5800
5801 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5802 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5803 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5804 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5805 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5806 functions prevents this.
5807 [Steve Henson]
5808
5809 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5810 [Ben Laurie]
5811
5812 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5813 correct _ecb suffix.
5814 [Ben Laurie]
5815
5816 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5817 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5818 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5819 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5820 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5821 [Steve Henson]
5822
5823 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5824 [Richard Levitte]
5825
5826 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5827 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5828 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5829 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5830
5831 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5832 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5833
5834 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5835 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5836 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5837 via Richard Levitte]
5838
5839 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5840 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5841 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5842 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5843 [Geoff Thorpe]
5844
5845 *) Speed up EVP routines.

5861 [Ben Laurie]
5862
5863 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5864 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5865
5866 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5867 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5868 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5869 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5870 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5871 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5872 [Steve Henson]
5873
5874 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5875 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5876 [Richard Levitte]
5877
5878 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5879 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5880 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5881 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5882
5883 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5884 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5885 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5886 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5887 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5888 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5889 callback.
5890 [Richard Levitte]
5891
5892 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5893 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5894 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5895 and interrupts/cancellations.
5896 [Richard Levitte]
5897
5898 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5899 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5900 [Steve Henson]
5901
5902 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5903 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5904 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5905
5906 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5907 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5908 kind of callback.
5909 [Richard Levitte]
5910
5911 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5912 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5913 than this minimum value is recommended.
5914 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5915
5916 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5917 that are easily reachable.
5918 [Richard Levitte]
5919
5920 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5921 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5922
5923 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5924
5925 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5926 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5927 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5928 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5929 [Steve Henson]
5930
5931 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5932 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5933 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5934 [Steve Henson]
5935
5936 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5937 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5938 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5939 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5940 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5941 internally such as S/MIME.
5942
5943 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5944 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5945 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5946
5947 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5948 applications.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5952 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5953 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5954 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5955
5956 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5957
5958 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5959
5960 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5961 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5962 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5963 handling.
5964 [Steve Henson]
5965
5966 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5967 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5968 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5969 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5970 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5971 a window system and the like.
5972 [Richard Levitte]
5973
5974 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5975 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5976 [Geoff]
5977
5978 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5979 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5980 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5981 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5982 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5983 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5984 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5985 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5986 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5987 ENGINE structure.
5988 [Geoff]
5989
5990 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5991 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5992 tag cache.
5993 [Steve Henson]
5994
5995 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5996 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5997 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5998 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5999 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6000 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6001 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6002 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6003 [Geoff]
6004
6005 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6006 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6007 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6008 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6009 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6010 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6011 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6012 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6013 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6014 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6015 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6016 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6017 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6018 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6019 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6020 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6021 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6022 [Geoff]
6023
6024 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6025 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6026 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6027 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6028 internal engine_int.h header.
6029 [Geoff]
6030
6031 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6032 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6033 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6034 modify their own ones).
6035 [Geoff]
6036
6037 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6038 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6039 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6040 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6041 later on via ctrl() commands.
6042 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6043 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6044 structural references.
6045 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6046 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6047 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6048 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6049 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6050 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6051 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6052 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6053 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6054 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6055 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6056 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6057 [Geoff]
6058
6059 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6060 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6061 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6062 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6063 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6064 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6065 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6066 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6067 [Bodo Moeller]
6068
6069 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6070 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6071 [Steve Henson]
6072
6073 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6074 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6075 [Steve Henson]
6076
6077 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6078 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6079 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6080 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6081 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6082 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6083 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6084 [Steve Henson]
6085
6086 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6087 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6088 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6089 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6090 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6091
6092 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6093 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
6094 generator).
6095 [Bodo Moeller]
6096
6097 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
6098
6099 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
6100 operations and provides various method functions that can also
6101 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
6102
6103 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
6104 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
6105
6106 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
6107 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
6108 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
6109
6110 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
6111 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
6112
6113 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
6114 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
6115
6116 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
6117
6118 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
6119 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
6120 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
6121 [Bodo Moeller]
6122
6123 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
6124 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
6125 [Richard Levitte]
6126
6127 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
6128 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
6129 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
6130 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
6131 is 40 of more characters long.
6132 [Steve Henson]
6133
6134 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
6135 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
6136 pointers.
6137 [Steve Henson]
6138
6139 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
6140 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
6141 [Bodo Moeller]
6142
6143 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
6144 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
6145 might.
6146 [Steve Henson]
6147
6148 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
6149
6150 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
6151 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
6152
6153 ASN1 error codes
6154 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
6155 ...
6156 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
6157 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
6158 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
6159 ...
6160 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
6161 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
6162
6163 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
6164 [Bodo Moeller]
6165
6166 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
6167 suffices.
6168 [Bodo Moeller]
6169
6170 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
6171 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
6172 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
6173 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
6174 and
6175 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
6176
6177 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
6178 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
6179
6180 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
6181 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
6182 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
6183 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
6184 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
6185 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
6186
6187 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
6188 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
6189
6190 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
6191 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6192
6193 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
6194 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
6195
6196 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
6197 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
6198 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
6199 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
6200
6201 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
6202 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
6203
6204 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
6205 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
6206
6207 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
6208 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
6209 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
6210 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
6211 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
6212 [Richard Levitte]
6213
6214 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
6215 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
6216 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
6217 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
6218 [Steve Henson]
6219
6220 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
6221 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
6222 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
6223 trust settings.
6224 [Steve Henson]
6225
6226 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
6227 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
6228 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
6229 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
6230 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
6231 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
6232 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
6233 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
6234 ocsp utility.
6235 [Steve Henson]
6236
6237 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
6238 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
6239 [Steve Henson]
6240
6241 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
6242 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
6243 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
6244 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
6245 [Steve Henson]
6246
6247 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
6248 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
6249 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
6250 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
6251 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
6252 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
6253 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
6254 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
6255 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
6256 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
6257 [Steve Henson]
6258
6259 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
6260 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
6261 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
6262 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
6263 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
6264 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
6265 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
6266 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6267
6268 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
6269 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
6270 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
6271 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
6272 [Richard Levitte]
6273
6274 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
6275 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
6276 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
6277 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
6278 opensslconf.h.
6279 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
6280 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
6281 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
6282 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
6283 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
6284 what is available.
6285 [Richard Levitte]
6286
6287 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
6288 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
6289 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
6290 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
6291 auto incremented.
6292 [Steve Henson]
6293
6294 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
6295 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
6296 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
6297 [Steve Henson]
6298
6299 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
6300 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
6301 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
6302 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
6303 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
6304 [Steve Henson]
6305
6306 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
6307 [Steve Henson]
6308
6309 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
6310 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
6311 option to ocsp utility.
6312 [Steve Henson]
6313
6314 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
6315 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
6316 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
6317 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
6318 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
6319 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6320 the request is nonce-less.
6321 [Steve Henson]
6322
6323 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6324 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6325 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6326 [Bodo Moeller]
6327
6328 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6329 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6330 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6331 [Steve Henson]
6332
6333 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6334 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6335 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6336 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6337 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6338 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6339
6340 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6341 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6342 appear to exist.
6343 [Steve Henson]
6344
6345 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6346 additional certificates supplied.
6347 [Steve Henson]
6348
6349 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6350 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6351 signature against.
6352 [Richard Levitte]
6353
6354 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6355 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6356 AES OIDs.
6357
6358 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6359 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6360 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6361 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6362 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6363 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6364 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6365 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6366 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6367
6368 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6369 request to response.
6370 [Steve Henson]
6371
6372 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6373 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6374 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6375 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6376 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6377 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6378 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6379 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6380 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6381 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6382 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6383 [Steve Henson]
6384
6385 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6386 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6387 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6388 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6389 [Steve Henson]
6390
6391 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6392 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6393
6394 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6395 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6396 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6397 [Steve Henson]
6398
6399 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6400 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6401 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6402 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6403 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6404
6405 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6406 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6407 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6411 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6412 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6413 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6414 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6415 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6416 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6417 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6418
6419 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6420 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6421 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6422 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6423 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6424 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6425 [Steve Henson]
6426
6427 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6428 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6429 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6430 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6431 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6432 printout format cleaned up.
6433 [Steve Henson]
6434
6435 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6436 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6437 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6438 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6439 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6440 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6441 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6442 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6443 [Steve Henson]
6444
6445 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6446 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6447 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6448 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6449 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6450 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6451 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6452 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6453 [Steve Henson]
6454
6455 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6456 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6457 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6458 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6459 section to use.
6460 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6461
6462 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6463 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6464 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6465 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6466 [Steve Henson]
6467
6468 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6469 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6470 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6471 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6472 in the index file.
6473 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6474
6475 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6476 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6477 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6478 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6479
6480 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6481 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6482
6483 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6484 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6485 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6486 [Steve Henson]
6487
6488 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6489 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6490 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6491 [Bodo Moeller]
6492
6493 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6494 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6495 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6496 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6497 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6498 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6499 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6500 functions are provided:
6501
6502 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6503 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6504 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6505 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6506
6507 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6508 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6509 extended allocation function is enabled.
6510 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6511 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6512 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6513
6514 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6515 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6516 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6517 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6518 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6519 [Geoff Thorpe]
6520
6521 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6522 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6523 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6524 be queried.
6525 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6526 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6527 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6528 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6529
6530 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6531 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6532 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6533 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6534 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6535 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6536 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6537 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6538 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6539 [Richard Levitte]
6540
6541 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6542 provide utility functions which an application needing
6543 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6544 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6545 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6546
6547 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6548 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6549 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6550 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6551 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6552 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6553 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6554 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6555 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6556
6557 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6558 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6559 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6560 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6561 [Steve Henson]
6562
6563 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6564 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6565 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6566 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6567 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6568 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6569 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6570 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6571 will be added elsewhere.
6572 [Steve Henson]
6573
6574 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6575 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6576 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6577 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6578 [Steve Henson]
6579
6580 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6581 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6582 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6583 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6584 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6585 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6586 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6587 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6588 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6589 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6590 to produce the required SET OF.
6591 [Steve Henson]
6592
6593 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6594 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6595 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6596 [Richard Levitte]
6597
6598 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6599 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6600 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6601 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6602 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6603 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6604 [Steve Henson]
6605
6606 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6607 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6608 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6609 [Steve Henson]
6610
6611 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6612 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6613 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6614 [Richard Levitte]
6615
6616 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6617 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6618 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6619 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6620 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6621 [Steve Henson]
6622
6623 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6624 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6625 [Steve Henson]
6626
6627 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6628 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6629 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6630 certifcates and CRLs.
6631 [Steve Henson]
6632
6633 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6634 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6635 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6636 [Steve Henson]
6637
6638 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6639 entries for variables.
6640 [Steve Henson]
6641
6642 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6643 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6644 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6645 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6646 [Bodo Moeller]
6647
6648 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6649 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6650 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6651 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6652 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6653 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6654 [Bodo Moeller]
6655
6656 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6657 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6658
6659 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6660 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6661 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6662 [Steve Henson]
6663
6664 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6665 print routines.
6666 [Steve Henson]
6667
6668 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6669 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6670 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6671 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6672 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6673 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6674 [Steve Henson]
6675
6676 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6677 [Steve Henson]
6678
6679 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6680 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6681 for now but they will eventually go away.
6682 [Steve Henson]
6683
6684 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6685 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6686 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6687 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6688 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6689 has also been converted to the new form.
6690 [Steve Henson]
6691
6692 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6693 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6694 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6695 for negative moduli.
6696 [Bodo Moeller]
6697
6698 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6699 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6700 [Bodo Moeller]
6701
6702 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6703 set.
6704 [Bodo Moeller]
6705
6706 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6707 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6708 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6709 type-specific callbacks.
6710 [Geoff Thorpe]
6711
6712 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6713 RFC 2712.
6714 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6715 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6716
6717 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6718 in sections depending on the subject.
6719 [Richard Levitte]
6720
6721 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6722 Windows.
6723 [Richard Levitte]
6724
6725 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6726 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6727 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6728 be handled deterministically).
6729 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6730
6731 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6732 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6733 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6734 [Bodo Moeller]
6735
6736 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6737 [Bodo Moeller]
6738
6739 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6740 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6741 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6742 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6743 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6744 [Bodo Moeller]
6745
6746 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6747 sign of the number in question.
6748
6749 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6750
6751 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6752 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6753 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6754 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6755 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6756 [Bodo Moeller]
6757
6758 *) New function BN_swap.
6759 [Bodo Moeller]
6760
6761 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6762 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6763 results on negative inputs.
6764 [Bodo Moeller]
6765
6766 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6767 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6768 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6769 [Bodo Moeller]
6770
6771 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6772 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6773 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6774 and add new functions:
6775
6776 BN_nnmod
6777 BN_mod_sqr
6778 BN_mod_add
6779 BN_mod_add_quick
6780 BN_mod_sub
6781 BN_mod_sub_quick
6782 BN_mod_lshift1
6783 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6784 BN_mod_lshift
6785 BN_mod_lshift_quick
6786
6787 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6788
6789 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6790 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6791
6792 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6793 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6794 be reduced modulo m.

6797 #if 0
6798 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6799 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6800 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6801
6802 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6803 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6804 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6805 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6806 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6807 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6808 differing sizes.
6809 [Richard Levitte]
6810 #endif
6811
6812 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6813 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6814 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6815 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6816 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6817
6818 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6819 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6820 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6821 cause any problems.
6822 [Bodo Moeller]
6823
6824 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6825 [Richard Levitte]
6826
6827 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6828 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6829 [Richard Levitte]
6830
6831 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6832 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6833 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6834 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6835 time)
6836 [Richard Levitte]
6837
6838 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6839 [Richard Levitte]
6840
6841 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6842 [Richard Levitte]
6843
6844 *) Add the following functions:
6845
6846 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6847 ENGINE_load_chil()
6848 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6849 ENGINE_load_nuron()
6850 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6851
6852 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6853 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6854 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6855 libraries unless it's really needed.
6856
6857 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6858 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6859 declarations (they differed!).
6860 [Richard Levitte]
6861
6862 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6863 [Richard Levitte]
6864
6865 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6866 [Richard Levitte]
6867
6868 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6869 [Bodo Moeller]
6870
6871 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6872 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6873 [Richard Levitte]
6874
6875 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6876 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6877 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6878
6879 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6880 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6881 [Richard Levitte]
6882
6883 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6884 [Richard Levitte]
6885
6886 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6887 [Richard Levitte]
6888
6889 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6890 [Ben Laurie]
6891
6892 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6893 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6894 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6895
6896 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6897 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6898 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6899 different shared library filenames on each system.
6900 [Geoff Thorpe]
6901
6902 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6903 [Richard Levitte]
6904
6905 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6906 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6907 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6908 of two sections.
6909 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6910
6911 *) NCONF changes.
6912 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6913 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6914 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6915 binary backward compatibility.
6916 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6917 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6918 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6919 LDAP server.
6920 [Richard Levitte]
6921
6922 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6923 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6924 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6925 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6926 this case.
6927 [Steve Henson]
6928
6929 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6930 [Ben Laurie]
6931
6932 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6933 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6934 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6935 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6936 set.
6937 [Steve Henson]
6938
6939 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6940 [Richard Levitte]
6941
6942 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6943
6944 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6945 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6946 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6947
6948 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6949
6950 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6951
6952 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6953 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6954 [Steve Henson]
6955
6956 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6957
6958 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6959
6960 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6961 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6962
6963 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6964 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6965
6966 [Steve Henson]
6967
6968 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6969 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6970 specifications.
6971 [Steve Henson]
6972
6973 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6974 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6975 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6976 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6977
6978 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6979 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6980 [Richard Levitte]
6981
6982 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6983
6984 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6985 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6986 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6987 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6988 [Bodo Moeller]
6989
6990 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6991 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6992 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6993 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6994 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6995
6996 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6997 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6998 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6999 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7000 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7001 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7002 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7003 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7004 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7005 [Bodo Moeller]
7006
7007 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7008
7009 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7010 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7011 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7012 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7013 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7014
7015 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7016 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7017 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7018
7019 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7020
7021 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7022 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7023 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7024 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7025 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7026 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7027 [Geoff Thorpe]
7028
7029 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7030 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7031 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7032 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7033 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7034 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7035
7036 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7037 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7038 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7039
7040 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7041 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7042 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7043 EVP_cleanup().
7044 [Richard Levitte]
7045
7046 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7047 being properly terminated.
7048 [Richard Levitte]
7049
7050 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7051 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7052 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7053 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7054
7055 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7056 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7057 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7058 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7059 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7060 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7061 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7062 change.
7063 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7064
7065 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7066 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7067 [Bodo Moeller]
7068
7069 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7070 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7071 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7072 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7073 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7074 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7075 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7076 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7077
7078 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7079 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7080 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7081 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7082 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7083
7084 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7085 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7086 [Steve Henson]
7087
7088 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7089
7090 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7091 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7092 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7093
7094 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
7095
7096 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
7097 and get fix the header length calculation.
7098 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
7099 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
7100 Steve Henson]
7101
7102 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
7103 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
7104 assertions could call abort()).
7105 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
7106
7107 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
7108
7109 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7110 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7111 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7112 supplied buffer.
7113 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7114
7115 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
7116 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
7117 by the selection routines (PR #130).
7118 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7119
7120 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
7121 [Nils Larsch]
7122
7123 *) New option
7124 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
7125 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
7126 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
7127
7128 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
7129 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
7130 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
7131 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
7132 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
7133 applications.
7134 [Bodo Moeller]
7135
7136 *) Changes in security patch:
7137
7138 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
7139 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
7140 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
7141 F30602-01-2-0537.
7142
7143 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
7144 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
7145 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
7146 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
7147 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
7148
7149 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
7150 happen in practice.
7151 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7152
7153 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
7154 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
7155 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
7156
7157 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
7158 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
7159 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7160
7161 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
7162 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
7163 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
7164
7165 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
7166
7167 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
7168 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
7169 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
7170
7171 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
7172 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
7173
7174 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
7175 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
7176 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
7177 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
7178 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
7179 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
7180 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7181
7182 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
7183 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
7184 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
7185 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
7186 [Bodo Moeller]
7187
7188 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
7189 [Bodo Moeller]
7190
7191 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
7192 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
7193 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
7194 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
7195 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
7196 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7197
7198 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
7199 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
7200 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
7201 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
7202 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
7203 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7204
7205 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
7206 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
7207 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
7208 BN_generate_prime().)
7209
7210 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
7211 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
7212 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
7213 better.
7214 [Bodo Moeller]
7215
7216 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
7217 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
7218 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7219
7220 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
7221 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
7222 when using non-blocking I/O.
7223 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
7224
7225 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
7226 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
7227
7228 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
7229 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
7230 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7231
7232 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
7233 configuration for the versions before that.
7234 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
7235
7236 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
7237 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
7238 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
7239 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
7240 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7241
7242 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
7243 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
7244 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
7245 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7246
7247 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
7248 value is 0.
7249 [Richard Levitte]
7250
7251 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
7252 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
7253 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
7254
7255 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
7256 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
7257
7258 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
7259 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
7260 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
7261 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
7262 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
7263 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
7264 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
7265 session cache.
7266
7267 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
7268 using a local variable.
7269 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
7270
7271 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
7272 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
7273 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7274
7275 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
7276 [Richard Levitte]
7277
7278 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
7279 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
7280
7281 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
7282 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
7283 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
7284
7285 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
7286
7287 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
7288 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
7289 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
7290 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
7291 [Bodo Moeller]
7292
7293 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
7294 present.
7295 [Steve Henson]
7296
7297 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
7298 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
7299 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
7300 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
7301 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
7302
7303 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
7304 returns early because it has nothing to do.
7305 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7306
7307 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7308 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
7309 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7310
7311 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7312 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
7313 (Use engine 'keyclient')
7314 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
7315
7316 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
7317 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
7318 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7319 modules).
7320 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7321
7322 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7323 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7324 from 0.9.7.
7325 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7326
7327 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7328 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7329 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7330 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7331
7332 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7333 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7334 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7335 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7336
7337 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7338 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7339
7340 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7341 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7342 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7343 [Bodo Moeller]
7344
7345 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7346 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7347 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7348 become invalid.
7349 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7350
7351 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7352 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7353 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7354 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7355 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7356 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7357 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7358 [Bodo Moeller]
7359
7360 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7361 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7362 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7363 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7364
7365 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7366 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7367 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7368 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7369 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7370 the client will at least see that alert.
7371 [Bodo Moeller]
7372
7373 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7374 correctly.
7375 [Bodo Moeller]
7376
7377 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7378 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7379 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7380
7381 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7382 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7383 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7384 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7385 HelloRequest.
7386
7387 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7388 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7389 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7390
7391 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7392 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7393 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7394 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7395 may leak via logfiles.)
7396
7397 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7398 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7399 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7400 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7401 the legal range.
7402 [Bodo Moeller]
7403
7404 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7405 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7406 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7407
7408 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7409 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7410 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7411 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7412 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7413 [Bodo Moeller]
7414
7415 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7416 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7417
7418 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7419 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7420 followed by modular reduction.
7421 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7422
7423 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7424 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7425 [Bodo Moeller]
7426
7427 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7428 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7429 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7430 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7431 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7432
7433 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7434 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7435
7436 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7437 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7438 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7439
7440 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7441 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7442 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7443 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7444 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7445 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7446 automatically.
7447 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7448
7449 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7450 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7451 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7452 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7453 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7454
7455 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7456 [Andy Polyakov]
7457
7458 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7459 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7460 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7461 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7462 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7463 to allow the necessary settings.
7464 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7465
7466 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7467 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7468 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7469 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7470 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7471
7472 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7473 dh->length and always used
7474
7475 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7476
7477 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7478 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7479 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7480 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7481 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7482 dh->length.
7483
7484 So switch back to
7485
7486 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7487
7488 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7489 otherwise.
7490 [Bodo Moeller]
7491
7492 *) In
7493
7494 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7495 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7496 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7497 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7498
7499 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7500 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7501 always reject numbers >= n.
7502 [Bodo Moeller]
7503
7504 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7505 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7506 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7507 variable) is not atomic.
7508 [Bodo Moeller]
7509
7510 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7511 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7512 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7513 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7514
7515 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7516 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7517
7518 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7519 little-endian MIPS.
7520 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7521
7522 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7523 [Richard Levitte]
7524
7525 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7526
7527 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7528 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7529 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7530 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7531 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7532 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7533 to traverse all of 'state'.
7534
7535 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7536 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7537 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7538
7539 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7540 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7541
7542 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7543 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7544 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7545 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7546 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7547 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7548 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7549 further strengthens the PRNG.
7550 [Bodo Moeller]
7551
7552 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7553 [Andy Polyakov]
7554
7555 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7556 an error message in this case.
7557 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7558
7559 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7560 [Steve Henson]
7561
7562 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7563 positive and less than q.
7564 [Bodo Moeller]
7565
7566 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7567 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7568 that itself.
7569 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7570
7571 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7572 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7573 [Bodo Moeller]
7574
7575 *) Fix OAEP check.
7576 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7577
7578 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7579 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7580 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7581 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7582 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7583 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7584 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7585 paper.)
7586
7587 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7588 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7589 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7590 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7591
7592 Both problems are now fixed.
7593 [Bodo Moeller]
7594
7595 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7596 (previously it was 1024).
7597 [Bodo Moeller]
7598
7599 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7600 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7601 [Steve Henson]
7602
7603 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7604 [Steve Henson]
7605
7606 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7607 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7608 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7609 [Steve Henson]
7610
7611 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7612 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7613 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7614 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7615 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7616 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7617 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7618 environment variables.
7619
7620 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7621 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7622 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7623 [Bodo Moeller]
7624
7625 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7626 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7627 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7628 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7629 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7630 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7631 [Bodo Moeller]
7632
7633 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7634 versions of 'test'.
7635 [Bodo Moeller]
7636
7637 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7638
7639 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7640 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7641
7642 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7643 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7644 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7645 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7646 CygWin.
7647 [Richard Levitte]
7648
7649 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7650 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7651 amount of data available.
7652 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7653 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7654
7655 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7656 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7657 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7658 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7659 [Bodo Moeller]
7660
7661 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7662 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7663 and UnixWare.
7664 [Richard Levitte]
7665
7666 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7667 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7668 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7669 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7670 [Ulf Moeller]
7671
7672 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7673 [Andy Polyakov]
7674
7675 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7676 [Richard Levitte]
7677
7678 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7679 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7680 [Steve Henson]
7681 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7682
7683 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7684 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7685 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7686 (but broken) behaviour.
7687 [Steve Henson]
7688
7689 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7690 it when found.
7691 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7692
7693 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7694 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7695 [Bodo Moeller]
7696
7697 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7698 did not exist.
7699 [Bodo Moeller]
7700
7701 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7702 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7703
7704 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7705 [Richard Levitte]
7706
7707 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7708 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7709 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7710
7711 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7712 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7713 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7714 [Steve Henson]
7715
7716 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7717 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7718 [Ulf Moeller]
7719
7720 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7721 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7722
7723 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7724
7725 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7726
7727 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7728 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7729 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7730 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7731 [Bodo Moeller]
7732
7733 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7734 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7735
7736 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7737 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7738 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7739
7740 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7741 was empty.
7742 [Steve Henson]
7743 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7744
7745 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7746 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7747 but the code is actually correct.
7748 [Steve Henson]
7749
7750 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7751 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7752 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7753 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7754 and leaves the highest bit random.
7755 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7756
7757 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7758 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7759 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7760 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7761 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7762 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7763 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7764 [Bodo Moeller]
7765
7766 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7767 [Ulf Moeller]
7768
7769 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7770 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7771 [Steve Henson]
7772
7773 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7774 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7775 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7776 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7777 headers.
7778 [Richard Levitte]
7779
7780 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7781 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7782 and break the signature.
7783 [Steve Henson]
7784 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7785
7786 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7787 DH ciphersuites.
7788 [Steve Henson]
7789
7790 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7791 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7792 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7793 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7794 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7795 [Bodo Moeller]
7796
7797 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7798 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7799
7800 *) ./config script fixes.
7801 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7802
7803 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7804 [Bodo Moeller]
7805
7806 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7807 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7808 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7809 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7810 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7811
7812 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7813 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7814 [Bodo Moeller]
7815
7816 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7817 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7818 [Steve Henson]
7819
7820 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7821 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7822 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7823 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7824
7825 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7826 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7827
7828 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7829 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7830 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7831 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7832 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7833
7834 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7835 [Bodo Moeller]
7836
7837 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7838 [Ulf Möller]
7839
7840 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7841 [Ulf Möller]
7842
7843 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7844 [Bodo Moeller]
7845
7846 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7847 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7848 [Bodo Moeller]
7849
7850 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7851 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7852 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7853 result of the server certificate verification.)
7854 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7855
7856 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7857 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7858 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7859 [Bodo Moeller]
7860
7861 *) Fix SSL_peek:
7862 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7863 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7864 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7865 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7866 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7867 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7868 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7869 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7870 [Bodo Moeller]
7871
7872 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7873 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7874 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7875 happening the other way round.
7876 [Geoff Thorpe]
7877
7878 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7879 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7880 [Bodo Moeller]
7881
7882 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7883 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7884 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7885 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7886 [Richard Levitte]
7887
7888 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7889 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7890
7891 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7892
7893 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7894 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7895 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7896 that.
7897
7898 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7899
7900 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7901
7902 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7903 static ones.
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7907
7908 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7909 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7910 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7911 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7912 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7913
7914 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7915 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7916 matter what.
7917 [Richard Levitte]
7918
7919 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7920 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7921
7922 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7923
7924 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7925 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7926 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7927 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7928 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7929 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7930 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7931 by the Finished messages.
7932 [Bodo Moeller]
7933
7934 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7935 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7936
7937 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7938 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7939 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7940 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7941 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7942 appropriately.
7943 [Steve Henson]
7944
7945 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7946 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7947 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7948 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7949 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7950 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7951 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7952 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7953 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7954 together.
7955 [Steve Henson]
7956
7957 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7958 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7959 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7960 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7961
7962 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7963 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7964 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7965 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7966 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7967 the answer.
7968
7969 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7970 been tested well enough.
7971 [Richard Levitte]
7972
7973 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7974 it can return incorrect results.
7975 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7976 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7977 [Bodo Moeller]
7978
7979 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7980 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7981 include zero length content when signing messages.
7982 [Steve Henson]
7983
7984 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7985 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7986 [Bodo Möller]
7987
7988 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7989 [Richard Levitte]
7990
7991 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7992 wrong sign.
7993 [Ulf Möller]
7994
7995 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7996 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7997 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7998 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7999 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8000 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8001 [Richard Levitte]
8002
8003 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8004 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8005
8006 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8007 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8008
8009 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8010 random number < q in the DSA library.
8011 [Ulf Möller]
8012
8013 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8014 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8015 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8016 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8017 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8018 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8019 just makes things more complicated.)
8020 [Bodo Moeller]
8021
8022 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8023 from EGD.
8024 [Ben Laurie]
8025
8026 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8027 work better on such systems.
8028 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8029
8030 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8031 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8032 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8033 [Steve Henson]
8034
8035 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8036 if there was more than one signature.
8037 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8038
8039 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8040 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
8041 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8042 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8043 [Richard Levitte]
8044
8045 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8046 rather than always using the current time.
8047 [Steve Henson]
8048
8049 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8050 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8051 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8052 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8053 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8054 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8055
8056 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8057 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8058
8059 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8060
8061 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8062 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8063 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8064 the same hash value.
8065
8066 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8067 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8068 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8069 with X509_STORE internally.
8070
8071 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8072 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8073
8074 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8075 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8076 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8077 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8078 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8079 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8080 entirely (maybe later...).
8081
8082 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8083
8084 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8085 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8086 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8087 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8088 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8089 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8090 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8091 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8092
8093 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8094 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
8095
8096 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
8097 to customise the verify behaviour.
8098 [Steve Henson]
8099
8100 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
8101 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
8102 [Steve Henson]
8103
8104 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
8105 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
8106 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
8107 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
8108 request is improperly encoded.
8109 [Steve Henson]
8110
8111 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
8112 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
8113 BIO_write(b, ...).
8114
8115 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
8116 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
8117
8118 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
8119 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
8120 words set to zero.)
8121 [Bodo Moeller]
8122
8123 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
8124 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
8125 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
8126 [Bodo Moeller]
8127
8128 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
8129 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
8130 BIO/fp routines also added.
8131 [Steve Henson]
8132
8133 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
8134 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
8135
8136 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
8137 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
8138 demos/state_machine.
8139 [Ben Laurie]
8140
8141 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
8142 generation and verification.
8143 [Steve Henson]
8144
8145 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
8146 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
8147 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
8148 encode and decode it manually.
8149 [Steve Henson]
8150
8151 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
8152 compile under VC++.
8153 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
8154
8155 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
8156 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
8157 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
8158 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
8159
8160 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
8161 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
8162 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
8163 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
8164 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
8165 [Steve Henson]
8166
8167 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
8168 [Richard Levitte]
8169
8170 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
8171 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
8172 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
8173
8174 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
8175 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
8176 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
8177 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
8178 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
8179 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
8180 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
8181 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
8182
8183 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
8184 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
8185
8186 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
8187
8188 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
8189 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
8190 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
8191
8192 [Richard Levitte]
8193
8194 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
8195 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
8196 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
8197 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
8198 [Richard Levitte]
8199
8200 *) MD4 implemented.
8201 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
8202
8203 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
8204 [Richard Levitte]
8205
8206 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
8207 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
8208 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
8209 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
8210 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
8211 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
8212 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
8213 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
8214 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
8215 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
8216 short or long names are found.
8217 [Steve Henson]
8218
8219 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
8220 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
8221
8222 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8223 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
8224 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
8225 version rollback attacks was not effective.
8226
8227 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
8228 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
8229 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
8230 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
8231 [Bodo Moeller]
8232
8233 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
8234 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
8235 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
8236 [Richard Levitte]
8237
8238 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
8239 these print out strings and name structures based on various
8240 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
8241 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
8242 to allow the various flags to be set.
8243 [Steve Henson]
8244
8245 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
8246 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
8247 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
8248 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
8249 dates to be checked.
8250 [Steve Henson]
8251
8252 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
8253 negative public key encodings) on by default,
8254 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
8255 [Steve Henson]
8256
8257 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
8258 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
8259 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
8260 [Steve Henson]
8261
8262 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
8263 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
8264 [Bodo Moeller]
8265
8266 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
8267 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
8268 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
8269 are always statically linked for now, but there are
8270 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
8271 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
8272 [Richard Levitte]
8273
8274 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
8275 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
8276 Random Numbers.
8277 [Ulf Möller]
8278
8279 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
8280 DSA key.
8281 [Steve Henson]
8282
8283 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
8284 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
8285 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
8286 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
8287 form signing output easier to verify.
8288 [Steve Henson]
8289
8290 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
8291 [Steve Henson]
8292
8293 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
8294 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
8295 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
8296 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
8297 are needed because all other string types have virtually
8298 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
8299 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
8300 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
8301 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
8302 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
8303 [Steve Henson]
8304
8305 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
8306
8307 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
8308 the syntax given in objects.README.
8309 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
8310 obj_mac.h.
8311 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
8312 obj_mac.h.
8313
8314 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
8315 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
8316 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
8317 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
8318 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
8319 consistent name changes.
8320 [Richard Levitte]
8321
8322 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8323 [Bodo Moeller]
8324
8325 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8326 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8327 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8328 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8329 [Richard Levitte]
8330
8331 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8332 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8333 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8334 of safestack.h .
8335 [Steve Henson]
8336
8337 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8338 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8339 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8340 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8341 [Steve Henson]
8342
8343 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8344 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8345 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8346 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8347 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8348 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8349 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8350 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8351 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8352 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8353 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8354 [Steve Henson]
8355
8356 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8357 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8358 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8359 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8360 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8361 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8362 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8363 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8364 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8365 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8366 [Steve Henson]
8367
8368 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8369 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8370 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8371 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8372
8373 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8374 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8375 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8376 omit any duplicate addresses.
8377 [Steve Henson]
8378
8379 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8380 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8381 [Bodo Moeller]
8382
8383 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8384 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8385 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8386 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8387 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8388 [Bodo Moeller]
8389
8390 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8391 software:
8392 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8393 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8394 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8395 Free => OPENSSL_free
8396 [Richard Levitte]
8397
8398 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8399 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8400 [Bodo Moeller]
8401
8402 *) CygWin32 support.
8403 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8404
8405 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8406 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8407 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8408 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8409 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8410 approach.
8411 [Geoff Thorpe]
8412
8413 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8414 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8415 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8416 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8417 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8418 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8419 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8420 [Geoff Thorpe]
8421
8422 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8423 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8424 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8425 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8426 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8427 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8428 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8429 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8430 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8431 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8432 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8433 [Bodo Moeller]
8434
8435 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8436 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8437 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8438 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8439 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8440
8441 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8442 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8443 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8444 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8445 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8446
8447 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8448 ciphers.
8449
8450 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8451 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8452 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8453 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8454
8455 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8456
8457 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8458 of macros.
8459
8460 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8461 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8462 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8463 flags.
8464
8465 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8466 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8467 any installed hardware versions can.
8468 [Steve Henson]
8469
8470 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8471 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8472 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8473 number.
8474 [Bodo Moeller]
8475
8476 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8477 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8478 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8479 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8480 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8481
8482 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8483 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8484 [Steve Henson]
8485
8486 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8487 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8488 [Richard Levitte]
8489
8490 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8491 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8492 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8493 features.
8494 [Steve Henson]
8495
8496 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8497 [Ulf Möller]
8498
8499 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8500 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8501 but no ssl client purpose.
8502 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8503
8504 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8505 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8506 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8507 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8508 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8509 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8510 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8511 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8512 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8513 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8514 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8515 [Steve Henson]
8516
8517 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8518 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8519 be obtained from the error queue.
8520 [Bodo Moeller]
8521
8522 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8523 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8524 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8525 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8526 [Bodo Moeller]
8527
8528 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8529 [Ulf Möller]
8530
8531 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8532 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8533 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8534 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8535 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8536 [Geoff Thorpe]
8537
8538 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8539 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8540 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8541 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8542 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8543 [Geoff Thorpe]
8544
8545 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8546 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8547 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8548 may not be NULL.
8549 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8550
8551 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8552 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8553 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8554 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8555 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8556 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8557 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8558 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8559 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8560 or "the configuration storage API"...
8561
8562 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8563
8564 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8565 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8566
8567 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8568
8569 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8570
8571 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8572 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8573 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8574 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8575 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8576 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8577 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8578
8579 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8580 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8581 [Richard Levitte]
8582
8583 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8584 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8585 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8586 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8587 [Bodo Moeller]
8588
8589 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8590 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8591 them in a portable way.
8592 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8593
8594 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8595
8596 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8597
8598 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8599 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8600
8601 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8602 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8603 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8604 <attili@amaxo.com>]
8605
8606 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8607 was larger than the MD block size.
8608 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8609
8610 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8611 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8612 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8613 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8614 components.
8615 [Steve Henson]
8616
8617 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8618 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8619 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8620
8621 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8622 discouraged.
8623 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8624
8625 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8626 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8627 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8628 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8629 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8630 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8631
8632 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8633 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8634
8635 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8636 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8637 [Bodo Moeller]
8638
8639 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8640 [Bodo Moeller]
8641
8642 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8643 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8644 its own key.
8645 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8646 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8647 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8648 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8649 [Bodo Moeller]
8650
8651 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8652 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8653 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8654 does not suppress any output.
8655 [Richard Levitte]
8656
8657 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8658 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8659 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8660 with all the associated security issues.
8661
8662 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8663 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8664 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8665 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8666 use the value in the default purpose.
8667 [Steve Henson]
8668
8669 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8670 and fix a memory leak.
8671 [Steve Henson]
8672
8673 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8674 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8675 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8676 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8677 [Bodo Moeller]
8678
8679 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8680 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8681 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8682 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8683 [Bodo Moeller]
8684
8685 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8686 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8687 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8688 [Bodo Moeller]
8689
8690 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8691 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8692 [Bodo Moeller]
8693
8694 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8695 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8696 which was free.
8697 [Steve Henson]
8698
8699 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8700 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8701 [Bodo Moeller]
8702
8703 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8704 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8705 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8706 [Bodo Moeller]
8707
8708 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8709 number generation fails.
8710 [Bodo Moeller]
8711
8712 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8713 [Bodo Moeller]
8714
8715 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8716 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8717
8718 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8719 [Ulf Möller]
8720
8721 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8722 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8723
8724 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8725 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8726
8727 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8728
8729 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8730 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8731 [Steve Henson]
8732
8733 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8734 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8735
8736 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8737 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8738 [Ulf Möller]
8739
8740 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8741 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8742 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8743 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8744 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8745 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8746
8747 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8748 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8749 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8750 for example.
8751 [Steve Henson]
8752
8753 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8754 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8755 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8756 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8757 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8758 counter, some don't.)
8759 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8760 counters or duplicate objects.
8761 [Steve Henson]
8762
8763 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8764 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8765 [Steve Henson]
8766
8767 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8768 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8769 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8770
8771 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8772 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8773 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8774 or -rand.
8775 [Ulf Möller]
8776
8777 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8778 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8779 [Steve Henson]
8780
8781 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8782 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8783 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8784 cipher list.
8785 [Steve Henson]
8786
8787 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8788 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8789 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8790 [Steve Henson]
8791
8792 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8793 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8794 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8795 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8796 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8797 should work without changes.
8798 [Richard Levitte]
8799
8800 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8801 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8802 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8803 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8804 must be defined. E.g.,
8805 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8806 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8807 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8808 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8809
8810 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8811 record layer.
8812 [Bodo Moeller]
8813
8814 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8815 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8816 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8817 [Steve Henson]
8818
8819 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8820 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8821 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8822 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8823 [Steve Henson]
8824
8825 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8826 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8827 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8828 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8829 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8830 is prompted for as usual.
8831 [Steve Henson]
8832
8833 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8834 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8835 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8836 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8837
8838 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8839 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8840 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8841 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8842 [Steve Henson]
8843
8844 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8845 [Andy Polyakov]
8846
8847 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8848 of seed file.
8849 [Steve Henson]
8850
8851 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8852 [Bodo Moeller]
8853
8854 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8855 [Steve Henson]
8856
8857 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8858 bits.
8859 [Ulf Möller]
8860
8861 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8862 [Ulf Möller]
8863
8864 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8865 [Andy Polyakov]
8866
8867 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8868 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8869 [Ulf Möller]
8870
8871 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8872 options to produce them.
8873 [Steve Henson]
8874
8875 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8876 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8877 [Ulf Möller]
8878
8879 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8880 for p == 0.
8881 [Ulf Möller]
8882
8883 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8884 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8885 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8886 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8887 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8888 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8889 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8890 [Steve Henson]
8891
8892 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8893 [Steve Henson]
8894
8895 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8896 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8897 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8898 [Bodo Moeller]
8899
8900 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8901 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8902
8903 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8904 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8905 [Ulf Möller]
8906
8907 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8908 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8909 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8910 has already seen).
8911 [Bodo Moeller]
8912
8913 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8914 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8915
8916 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8917 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8918 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8919 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8920 generation becomes much faster.
8921
8922 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8923 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8924 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8925 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8926 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8927 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8928 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8929 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8930 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8931 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8932 [Bodo Moeller]
8933
8934 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8935 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8936 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8937 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8938 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8939 trial division stage.
8940 [Bodo Moeller]
8941
8942 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8943 as ASN1_TIME.
8944 [Steve Henson]
8945
8946 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8947 [Steve Henson]
8948
8949 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8950 [Ulf Möller]
8951
8952 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8953 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8954 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8955 the comments.
8956 [Ulf Möller]
8957
8958 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8959 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8960 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8961 [Bodo Moeller]
8962
8963 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8964 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8965 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8966 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8967
8968 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8969 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8970 [Steve Henson]
8971
8972 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8973 [Ulf Möller]
8974
8975 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8976 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8977 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8978 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8979 [Ulf Möller]
8980
8981 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8982 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8983 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8984 [Ulf Möller]
8985
8986 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8987 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8988 (instead of parameters) in future.
8989 [Steve Henson]
8990
8991 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8992 when a new cipher list is set.
8993 [Steve Henson]
8994
8995 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8996 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8997 wrong.
8998
8999 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9000 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9001 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9002
9003 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9004 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9005 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9006 an error is flagged.
9007
9008 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9009 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9010 the readability was also increased :-)
9011 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9012
9013 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9014 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9015 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9016 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9017 as the root CA.
9018 [Steve Henson]
9019
9020 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9021 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9022 [Steve Henson]
9023
9024 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9025 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9026 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
9027 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9028 instead.
9029
9030 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9031 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9032 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9033 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9034 because they handle more complex structures.)
9035 [Steve Henson]
9036
9037 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9038 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9039 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9040 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9041
9042 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9043 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9044 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9045 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9046 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9047 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9048 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9049 [Ulf Möller]
9050
9051 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9052 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9053 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9054 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9055 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9056 [Bodo Moeller]
9057
9058 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9059 [Bodo Moeller]
9060
9061 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9062 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9063 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9064 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9065 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9066 to use this.
9067
9068 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9069 code.
9070 [Steve Henson]
9071
9072 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9073 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9074 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9075 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9076 [Steve Henson]
9077
9078 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9079 [Ulf Möller]
9080
9081 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9082 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9083 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9084 international characters are used.
9085
9086 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9087 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9088 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9089 in ASN1 order.
9090 [Steve Henson]
9091
9092 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9093 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9094 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
9095 request.
9096
9097 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
9098 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
9099 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
9100 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
9101 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
9102 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
9103
9104 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
9105 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
9106 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
9107 be handled by the string table functions.
9108
9109 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
9110 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
9111 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
9112 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
9113 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
9114 types at all.
9115 [Steve Henson]
9116
9117 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
9118 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
9119 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
9120 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
9121 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
9122
9123 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
9124 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
9125 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
9126 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
9127 [Bodo Moeller]
9128
9129 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
9130 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
9131 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
9132 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
9133 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
9134 SHA1.
9135 [Andy Polyakov]
9136
9137 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
9138 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
9139 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
9140 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
9141 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
9142 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
9143 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
9144 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
9145
9146 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
9147 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
9148 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
9149 [Steve Henson]
9150
9151 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
9152 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
9153 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
9154 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
9155 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
9156 support to pkcs8 application.
9157 [Steve Henson]
9158
9159 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
9160 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
9161 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
9162 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
9163 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
9164 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
9165 [Bodo Moeller]
9166
9167 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
9168 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
9169 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
9170 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
9171 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
9172 consistency.
9173 [Bodo Moeller]
9174
9175 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
9176 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
9177 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
9178 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
9179 example.
9180 [Steve Henson]
9181
9182 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
9183 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
9184 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
9185 and any application specific purposes.
9186
9187 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
9188 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
9189 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
9190 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
9191 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
9192 if the certificate is self signed.
9193 [Steve Henson]
9194
9195 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
9196 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
9197 [Steve Henson]
9198
9199 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
9200 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
9201 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
9202 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
9203 [Steve Henson]
9204
9205 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
9206 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
9207 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
9208 Update documentation.
9209 [Steve Henson]
9210
9211 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
9212 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
9213 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
9214 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
9215 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
9216 [Steve Henson]
9217
9218 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
9219 for details.
9220 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
9221
9222 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
9223 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
9224 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
9225 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
9226 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
9227 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
9228 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
9229 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
9230 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
9231 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
9232
9233 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
9234
9235 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9236 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
9237 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
9238 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
9239 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
9240
9241 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
9242 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
9243 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
9244 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
9245 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
9246 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
9247 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
9248 request additional information:
9249 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
9250 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
9251
9252 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
9253 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
9254 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
9255 options.
9256
9257 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
9258 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
9259
9260 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
9261 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
9262 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
9263
9264 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
9265 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
9266
9267 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
9268 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
9269 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
9270 algorithm.
9271 [Steve Henson]
9272
9273 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
9274 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
9275 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
9276
9277 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
9278 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
9279 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
9280 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
9281 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
9282 included in OpenSSL.
9283 [Steve Henson]
9284
9285 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
9286 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
9287 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
9288 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
9289 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
9290 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
9291 [Bodo Moeller]
9292
9293 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
9294 PKCS12 structure.
9295 [Steve Henson]
9296
9297 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
9298 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
9299 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
9300 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
9301 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
9302 structure.
9303 [Steve Henson]
9304
9305 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
9306 need initialising.
9307 [Steve Henson]
9308
9309 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
9310 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
9311 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
9312 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
9313 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
9314 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
9315 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
9316 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
9317 be maintained manually.
9318
9319 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9320 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9321 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9322 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9323 work because people forget to call this function]
9324 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9325 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9326 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9327 [Steve Henson]
9328
9329 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9330 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9331 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9332 should be discouraged from doing it.
9333 [Ben Laurie]
9334
9335 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9336 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9337 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9338 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9339 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9340 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9341 [Steve Henson]
9342
9343 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9344 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9345 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9346
9347 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9348 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9349 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9350
9351 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9352 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9353 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9354 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9355 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9356 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9357
9358 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9359 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9360 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9361
9362 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9363 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9364 and vice versa.
9365
9366 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9367 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9368 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9369 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9370 [Steve Henson]
9371
9372 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9373 [Steve Henson]
9374
9375 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9376 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9377 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9378 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9379 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9380 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9381 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9382 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9383 keys so we should be OK.
9384
9385 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9386 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9387 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9388 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9389 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9390 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9391 stay in the name of compatibility.
9392
9393 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9394 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9395 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9396
9397 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9398 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9399 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9400 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9401 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9402 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9403 supplied key).
9404 [Steve Henson]
9405
9406 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9407 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9408 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9409 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9410 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9411 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9412 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9413 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9414 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9415 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9416 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9417 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9418 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9419 [Steve Henson]
9420
9421 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9422 [Steve Henson]
9423
9424 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9425 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9426 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9427 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9428 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9429 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9430 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9431 openssl verify ss.pem
9432 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9433 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9434 is OK.
9435 [Steve Henson]
9436
9437 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9438 (and add it to external session representation).
9439 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9440 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9441 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9442 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9443 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9444 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9445 security holes.
9446 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9447
9448 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9449 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9450 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9451 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9452
9453 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9454 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9455 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9456 [Steve Henson]
9457
9458 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9459 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9460 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9461 code.
9462 [Steve Henson]
9463
9464 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9465 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9466 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9467
9468 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9469 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9470 certificate auxiliary information.
9471 [Steve Henson]
9472
9473 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9474 the 'enc' command.
9475 [Steve Henson]
9476
9477 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9478 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9479 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9480 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9481 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9482 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9483 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9484 [Richard Levitte]
9485
9486 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9487 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9488 [Steve Henson]
9489
9490 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9491 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9492 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9493 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9494 [Steve Henson]
9495
9496 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9497 [Steve Henson]
9498
9499 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9500 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9501 [Steve Henson]
9502
9503 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9504 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9505 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9506 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9507 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9508 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9509 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9510 using the new 'x509' options.
9511
9512 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9513 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9514 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9515 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9516 for all purposes.
9517 [Steve Henson]
9518
9519 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9520 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9521 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9522 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9523 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9524 [Mark Cox]
9525
9526 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9527 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9528 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9529 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9530 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9531 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9532 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9533 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9534 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9535 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9536 [Steve Henson]
9537
9538 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9539 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9540 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9541 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9542 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9543 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9544 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9545 [Steve Henson]
9546
9547 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9548 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9549 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9550 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9551 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9552 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9553 openssl.cnf for more info.
9554 [Steve Henson]
9555
9556 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9557 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9558 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9559 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9560 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9561 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9562 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9563 md should be large enough anyway.
9564 [Bodo Moeller]
9565
9566 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9567 for handling the random seed file.
9568
9569 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9570 ca,
9571 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9572 s_client,
9573 s_server,
9574 x509 (when signing).
9575 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9576 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9577 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9578
9579 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9580 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9581 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9582 that support '-rand'.
9583 [Bodo Moeller]
9584
9585 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9586 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9587 [Bodo Moeller]
9588
9589 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9590 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9591 [Bill Perry]
9592
9593 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9594 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9595 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9596 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9597 is suitable.
9598 [Steve Henson]
9599
9600 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9601 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9602 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9603 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9604 [Steve Henson]
9605
9606 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9607 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9608 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9609 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9610 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9611 print out all the purposes.
9612 [Steve Henson]
9613
9614 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9615 functions.
9616 [Steve Henson]
9617
9618 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9619 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9620 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9621 single function call.
9622 [Steve Henson]
9623
9624 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9625 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9626 [Andy Polyakov]
9627
9628 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9629 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9630 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9631 [Steve Henson]
9632
9633 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9634 when producing the local key id.
9635 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9636
9637 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9638 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9639 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9640 "server.pem".
9641 [Steve Henson]
9642
9643 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9644 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9645 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9646 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9647 [Steve Henson]
9648
9649 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9650 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9651 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9652 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9653
9654 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9655 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9656 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9657 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9658
9659 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9660 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9661 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9662 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9663 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9664 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9665 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9666 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9667 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9668 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9669 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9670 trivial: move one line.
9671 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9672
9673 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9674 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9675 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9676 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9677 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9678 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9679 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9680 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9681 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9682 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9683 with an event loop for example.
9684 [Steve Henson]
9685
9686 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9687 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9688 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9689 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9690 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9691 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9692 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9693 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9694 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9695 [Steve Henson]
9696
9697 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9698 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9699 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9700 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9701 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9702 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9703 [Steve Henson]
9704
9705 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9706 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9707 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9708 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9709
9710 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9711 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9712 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9713 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9714 key generation.
9715 [Steve Henson]
9716
9717 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9718 (still largely untested)
9719 [Bodo Moeller]
9720
9721 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9722 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9723 [Steve Henson]
9724
9725 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9726 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9727 [Steve Henson]
9728
9729 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9730 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9731 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9732 [Bodo Moeller]
9733
9734 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9735 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9736 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9737 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9738 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9739 [Steve Henson]
9740
9741 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9742 [Andy Polyakov]
9743
9744 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9745 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9746 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9747 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9748 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9749 in ca.
9750 [Steve Henson]
9751
9752 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9753 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9754 1.OU="Unit name 1"
9755 2.OU="Unit name 2"
9756 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9757 [Steve Henson]
9758
9759 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9760 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9761 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9762 are otherwise ignored at present.
9763 [Steve Henson]
9764
9765 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9766 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9767 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9768 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9769 copied until the next read.
9770 [Steve Henson]
9771
9772 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9773 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9774 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9775 [Steve Henson]
9776
9777 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9778 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9779 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9780 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9781 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9782 associated functions.
9783 [Steve Henson]
9784
9785 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9786 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9787 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9788 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9789 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9790 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9791 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9792 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9793 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9794 memory BIOs.
9795 [Steve Henson]
9796
9797 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9798 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9799 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9800 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9801 [Bodo Moeller]
9802
9803 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9804 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9805 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9806 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9807 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9808 functionality.
9809 [Steve Henson]
9810
9811 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9812 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9813 under Win32.
9814 [Steve Henson]
9815
9816 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9817 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9818 extensions to be obtained and added.
9819 [Steve Henson]
9820
9821 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9822 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9823 [Bodo Moeller]
9824
9825 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9826
9827 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9829
9830 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9831 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9832
9833 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9834 program.
9835 [Steve Henson]
9836
9837 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9838 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9839 DH parameters contain its length).
9840
9841 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9842 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9843 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9844 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9845 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9846 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9847 utter importance to use
9848 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9849 or
9850 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9851 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9852 attacks may become possible!
9853 [Bodo Moeller]
9854
9855 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9856 [Bodo Moeller]
9857
9858 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9859 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9860 [Steve Henson]
9861
9862 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9863 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9864 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9865 or long name.
9866 [Steve Henson]
9867
9868 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9869 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9870 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9871 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9872 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9873 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9874 private key operations.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9878 [Andy Polyakov]
9879
9880 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9881 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9882 to
9883 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9884 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9885 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9886 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9887 the password callback is called.
9888 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9889
9890 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9891
9892 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9893 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9894 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9895 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9896 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9897 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9898 this will work.
9899
9900 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9901 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9902 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9903 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9904 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9905 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9906 [Bodo Moeller]
9907
9908 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9909 [Andy Polyakov]
9910
9911 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9912 delete an unused file.
9913 [Ulf Möller]
9914
9915 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9916 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9917 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9918 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9919 [Steve Henson]
9920
9921 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9922 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9923 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9924 of an error.
9925 [Bodo Moeller]
9926
9927 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9928 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9929 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9930
9931 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9932 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9933 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9934 comparison" warnings.
9935 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9936 [Steve Henson]
9937
9938 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9939 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9940 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9941 [Steve Henson]
9942
9943 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9944 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9945
9946 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9947 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9948
9949 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9950 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9951 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9952
9953 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9954 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9955 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9956 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9957 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9958 this bug.
9959 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9960
9961 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9962 The interface is as follows:
9963 Applications can use
9964 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9965 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9966 "off" is now the default.
9967 The library internally uses
9968 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9969 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9970 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9971
9972 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9973 even the default) are now avoided.
9974
9975 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9976 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9977 than just having a counter.
9978
9979 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9980
9981 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9982 extensions.
9983 [Bodo Moeller]
9984
9985 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9986 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9987 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9988 Initial "mode" flags are:
9989
9990 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9991 a single record has been written.
9992 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9993 retries use the same buffer location.
9994 (But all of the contents must be
9995 copied!)
9996 [Bodo Moeller]
9997
9998 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9999 worked.
10000
10001 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10002 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10003
10004 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10005 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10006 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10007 [Steve Henson]
10008
10009 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10010 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10011 test programs.
10012 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10013
10014 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10015 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10016 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10017 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10018 point to the end.
10019 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10020 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10021
10022 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10023 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10024 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10025 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10026 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10027 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10028 [Steve Henson]
10029
10030 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10031 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10032 necessary function names.
10033 [Steve Henson]
10034
10035 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10036 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10037 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10038 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10039 [Bodo Moeller]
10040
10041 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10042 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10043 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10044 [Steve Henson]
10045
10046 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10047 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10048 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10049 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10050 such programs?)
10051 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10052 need locks.
10053 [Bodo Moeller]
10054
10055 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10056 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10057 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10058 [Bodo Moeller]
10059
10060 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10061 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10062 appropriate.
10063 [Bodo Moeller]
10064
10065 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10066 for the encoded length.
10067 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10068
10069 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10070 [Steve Henson]
10071
10072 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10073 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10074 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10075 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10076 [Steve Henson]
10077
10078 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10079 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10080 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10081
10082 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10083 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10084 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10085 unusual formatting.
10086 [Steve Henson]
10087
10088 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10089 to use the new extension code.
10090 [Steve Henson]
10091
10092 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10093 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10094 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
10095 constant.
10096 [Steve Henson]
10097
10098 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
10099 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
10100 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
10101 [Bodo Moeller]
10102
10103 #if 0
10104 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
10105 [Ben Laurie]
10106 #else
10107 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
10108 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
10109 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
10110 #endif
10111
10112 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
10113 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
10114 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
10115 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
10116 [Ben Laurie]
10117
10118 *) DES library cleanups.
10119 [Ulf Möller]
10120
10121 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
10122 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
10123 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
10124 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
10125 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
10126 of v2.0.
10127 [Steve Henson]
10128
10129 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
10130 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
10131 [Bodo Moeller]
10132
10133 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
10134 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
10135 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
10136 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
10137 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
10138 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
10139 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
10140 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
10141 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
10142 [Steve Henson]
10143
10144 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
10145 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
10146 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
10147 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
10148 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
10149 value doesn't matter.
10150 [Steve Henson]
10151
10152 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
10153 support mutable.
10154 [Ben Laurie]
10155
10156 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
10157 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
10158 "linux-sparc" configuration.
10159 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
10160
10161 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
10162 [Ulf Möller]
10163
10164 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
10165 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
10166 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10167
10168 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
10169 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
10170
10171 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
10172 [Ben Laurie]
10173
10174 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
10175 [Ben Laurie]
10176
10177 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
10178 [Ben Laurie]
10179
10180 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
10181 [Bodo Moeller]
10182
10183
10184 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
10185
10186 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
10187
10188 *) Updated some demos.
10189 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
10190
10191 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
10192 [Wu Zhigang]
10193
10194 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
10195 [Steve Henson]
10196
10197 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
10198 [Steve Henson]
10199
10200 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
10201 instead of using a fixed path.
10202 [Bodo Moeller]
10203
10204 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
10205 [Andy Polyakov]
10206
10207 *) Improvements for VMS support.
10208 [Richard Levitte]
10209
10210
10211 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
10212
10213 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
10214 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
10215 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10216
10217 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
10218 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
10219 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
10220 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
10221 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
10222 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
10223 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
10224 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
10225 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
10226 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
10227 [Steve Henson]
10228
10229 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
10230 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
10231 [Steve Henson]
10232
10233 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
10234 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
10235 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
10236 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
10237 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
10238
10239 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
10240 [Bodo Moeller]
10241
10242 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
10243 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
10244 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
10245 [Steve Henson]
10246
10247 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
10248 [Ben Laurie]
10249
10250 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
10251 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
10252 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
10253 key elements as negative integers.
10254 [Steve Henson]
10255
10256 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
10257 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10258
10259 *) VMS support.
10260 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
10261
10262 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
10263 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
10264 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
10265 [Steve Henson]
10266
10267 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
10268 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
10269 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
10270 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
10271 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
10272 [Bodo Moeller]
10273
10274 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
10275 [Ulf Möller]
10276
10277 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
10278 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
10279 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
10280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10281
10282 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
10283 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
10284 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
10285
10286 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
10287 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
10288 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
10289 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
10290 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
10291 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
10292 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
10293 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
10294 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
10295
10296 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
10297 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
10298 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
10299 does not influence s as it used to.
10300
10301 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
10302 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
10303 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
10304 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
10305 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
10306 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
10307 [Bodo Moeller]
10308
10309 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
10310 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
10311 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
10312 key type.
10313 [Steve Henson]
10314
10315 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
10316 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
10317 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10318 and 'x509').
10319 [Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10322 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10323 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10324 extension option.
10325 [Steve Henson]
10326
10327 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10328 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10329 [Ben Laurie]
10330
10331 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10332 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10333
10334 *) Support Mingw32.
10335 [Ulf Möller]
10336
10337 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10338 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10339
10340 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10341 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10342
10343 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10344 [Ulf Möller]
10345
10346 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10347 [Anonymous]
10348
10349 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10350 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10351
10352 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10353 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10354 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10355 DER-encoded.)
10356 [Bodo Moeller]
10357
10358 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10359 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10360 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10361 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10362 now it really counts the depth.
10363 [Bodo Moeller]
10364
10365 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10366 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10367 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10368 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10369 didn't match the private key).
10370
10371 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10372 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10373 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10374 [Bodo Moeller]
10375
10376 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10377 [Ulf Möller]
10378
10379 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10380 David Harris.
10381 [Bodo Moeller]
10382
10383 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10384 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10385 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10386 [Bodo Moeller]
10387
10388 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10389 [Bodo Moeller]
10390
10391 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10392 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10393 such as /usr/local/bin.
10394 [Bodo Moeller]
10395
10396 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10397 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10398
10399 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10400 [Ulf Möller]
10401
10402 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10403 extension adding in x509 utility.
10404 [Steve Henson]
10405
10406 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10407 [Ulf Möller]
10408
10409 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10410 prototypes.
10411 [Steve Henson]
10412
10413 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10414 [Ulf Möller]
10415
10416 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10417 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10418 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10419 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10420 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10421 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10422 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10423 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10424 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10425 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10426 [Steve Henson]
10427
10428 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10429 [Bodo Moeller]
10430
10431 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10432 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10433 [Bodo Moeller]
10434
10435 *) Fix some race conditions.
10436 [Bodo Moeller]
10437
10438 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10439 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10440 [Steve Henson]
10441
10442 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10443 [Ulf Möller]
10444
10445 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10446 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10447 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10448 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10449
10450 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10451 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10452
10453 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10454 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10455 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10456
10457 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10458 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10459
10460 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10461 [Ulf Möller]
10462
10463 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10464 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10465
10466 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10467 [Ulf Möller]
10468
10469 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10470 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10471
10472 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10473 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10474 [Steve Henson]
10475
10476 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10477 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10478 [Ben Laurie]
10479
10480 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10481 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10482 [Steve Henson]
10483
10484 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10485 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10486 [Steve Henson]
10487
10488 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10489 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10490 [Steve Henson]
10491
10492 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10493 support typesafe stack.
10494 [Steve Henson]
10495
10496 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10497 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10498
10499 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10500 old X509V3 handling code.
10501 [Steve Henson]
10502
10503 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10504 [Ulf Möller]
10505
10506 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10507 [Bodo Moeller]
10508
10509 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10510 [Ben Laurie]
10511
10512 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10513 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10514
10515 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10516 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10517 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10518 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10519 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10520 [Ben Laurie]
10521
10522 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10523 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10524 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10525 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10526 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10527
10528 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10529 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10530 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10531 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10532
10533 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10534 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10535 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10536 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10537
10538 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10539 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10540 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10541 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10542 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10543 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10544 [Bodo Moeller]
10545
10546 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10547 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10548 [Bodo Moeller]
10549
10550 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10551 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10552 [Ulf Möller]
10553
10554 *) Tweaks to Configure
10555 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10556
10557 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10558 yet...
10559 [Steve Henson]
10560
10561 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10562 [Ulf Möller]
10563
10564 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10565 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10566 [Ulf Möller]
10567
10568 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10569 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10570 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10571 [Bodo Moeller]
10572
10573 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10574 [Bodo Moeller]
10575
10576 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10577 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10578 [Steve Henson]
10579
10580 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10581 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10582 to library startup routines.
10583 [Steve Henson]
10584
10585 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10586 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10587 codes along the way.
10588 [Steve Henson]
10589
10590 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10591 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10592 objects to objects.h
10593 [Steve Henson]
10594
10595 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10596 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10597 [Steve Henson]
10598
10599 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10600 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10601
10602 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10603 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10604 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10605
10606 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10607 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10608 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10609
10610 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10611 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10612 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10613
10614
10615 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10616
10617 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10618 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10619 [Ben Laurie]
10620
10621 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10622 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10623 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10624 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10625 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10626
10627 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10628 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10629 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10630 document.
10631 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10632
10633 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10634 Malloc, Free.
10635 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10636
10637 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10638 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10639
10640 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10641 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10642 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10643 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10644
10645 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10646 [Ben Laurie]
10647
10648 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10649 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10650 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10651 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10652 [Steve Henson]
10653
10654 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10655 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10656 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10657 [Steve Henson]
10658
10659 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10660 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10661 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10662 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10663 installed as `perl').
10664 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10665
10666 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10667 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10668
10669 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10670 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10671 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10672 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10673 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10674 [Steve Henson]
10675
10676 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10677 [Ben Laurie]
10678
10679 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10680 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10681 is horrible: I feel ill....
10682 [Steve Henson]
10683
10684 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10685 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10686 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10687 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10688 [Steve Henson]
10689
10690 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10691 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10692
10693 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10694 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10695 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10696 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10697
10698 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10699 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10700 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10701 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10702 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10703 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10704 openssl_bio.xs.
10705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10706
10707 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10708 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10709
10710 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10711 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10712
10713 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10714 [Ben Laurie]
10715
10716 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10717 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10718 in CRLs.
10719 [Steve Henson]
10720
10721 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10722 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10723 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10724 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10725 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10726 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10727 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10728 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10729 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10730 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10732
10733 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10734 [Ben Laurie]
10735
10736 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10737 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10738 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10739 for linking it into DSOs.
10740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10741
10742 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10743 Fixed.
10744 [Ben Laurie]
10745
10746 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10747 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10748 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10749 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10750 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10752
10753 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10754 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10755 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10756 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10757 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10758 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10759 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10760
10761 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10762 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10763 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10764 encryption.
10765 [Ben Laurie]
10766
10767 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10768 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10769 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10770 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10771 [Steve Henson]
10772
10773 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10774 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10775 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10776 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10777 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10778 field as blank.
10779 [Steve Henson]
10780
10781 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10782 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10783 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10784 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10785 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10786
10787 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10788 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10789 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10790
10791 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10792 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10793
10794 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10795 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10796 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10797 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10798 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10799 [Steve Henson]
10800
10801 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10802 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10803 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10804 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10805 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10806 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10807 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10808 [Ben Laurie]
10809
10810 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10811 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
10812 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10813 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10814 [Ben Laurie]
10815
10816 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10817 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10818
10819 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10820 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10821 [Steve Henson]
10822
10823 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10824 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10825 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10826 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10827 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10828 (e.g. s_server).
10829 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10830 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10831 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10832 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10833 no way to reconfigure them.
10834 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10835 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10836 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10837 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10838 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10840
10841 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10842 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10843 recognized by the users.
10844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10845
10846 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10847 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10848 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10849 already masked variable.
10850 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10851
10852 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10853 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10854
10855 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10856 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10857 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10858 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10859
10860 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10861 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10863
10864 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10865 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10866 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10867 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10868 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10869 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10870 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10871 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10872 now, too.
10873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10874
10875 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10876 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10877 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10878
10879 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10880 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10881 config file.
10882 [Steve Henson]
10883
10884 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10885 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10886
10887 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10888 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10889 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10890 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10891 [Ben Laurie]
10892
10893 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10894 [Steve Henson]
10895
10896 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10897 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10898
10899 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10900 [Ben Laurie]
10901
10902 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10903 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10907 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10908 [Steve Henson]
10909
10910 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10911 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10912 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10913 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10914 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10915 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10916 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10917 Ben Laurie]
10918
10919 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10920 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10921
10922 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10923 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10924 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10925 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10926 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10927
10928 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10929 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10930 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10931 [Steve Henson]
10932
10933 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10934 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10935 an example.
10936 [Steve Henson]
10937
10938 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10939 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10940 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10941
10942 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10943 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10944 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10945 build instructions.
10946 [Steve Henson]
10947
10948 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10949 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10950 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10951 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10952 [Steve Henson]
10953
10954 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10955 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10956 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10957 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10958 [Ben Laurie]
10959
10960 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10961 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10962 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10963 so it wasn't spotted.
10964 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10965
10966 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10967 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10968 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10969 vectors if you have them.
10970 [Ben Laurie]
10971
10972 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10973 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10974 [Ben Laurie]
10975
10976 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10977 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10978 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10979 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10980 If you do a:
10981 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10982 it will update them.
10983 [Steve Henson]
10984
10985 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10986 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10987 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10988 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10989 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10990 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10991 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10993
10994 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10995 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10996 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10997 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10998 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10999 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11000 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11001 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11002 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11004
11005 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11006 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11007 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11008 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11009 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11010 [Steve Henson]
11011
11012 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11013 INTEGER code.
11014 [Steve Henson]
11015
11016 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11017 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11018
11019 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11020 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11021
11022 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11023 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11024 [Ben Laurie]
11025
11026 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11027 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11028
11029 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11030 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11031
11032 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11033 [Steve Henson]
11034
11035 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11036 few typos.
11037 [Steve Henson]
11038
11039 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11040 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11041 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11042 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11043
11044 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11045 [Steve Henson]
11046
11047 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11048 [Steve Henson]
11049
11050 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11051 [Steve Henson]
11052
11053 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11054 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11055 [Steve Henson]
11056
11057 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11058 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11059 CA extensions.
11060 [Steve Henson]
11061
11062 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11063 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11064 [Steve Henson]
11065
11066 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11067 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11068 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11069 [Steve Henson]
11070
11071 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11072 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11073 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11074 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11075 properly to be processed.
11076 [Steve Henson]
11077
11078 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11079 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11080 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11081 [Ben Laurie]
11082
11083 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11084 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11085
11086 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11087 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11088 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11089 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11090 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11091 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11092 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11093 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11094 or delete all the .err files.
11095 [Steve Henson]
11096
11097 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
11098 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
11099 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
11100 to regenerate it if needed.
11101 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
11102 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
11103
11104 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
11105 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11106
11107 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
11108 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
11109 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
11110 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
11111 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
11112 [Steve Henson]
11113
11114 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
11115 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11116
11117 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
11118 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11119
11120 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
11121 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
11122 error, but didn't set one).
11123 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11124
11125 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
11126 [Ben Laurie]
11127
11128 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
11129 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
11130 [Steve Henson]
11131
11132 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
11133 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
11134
11135 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
11136 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
11137 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
11138 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
11139 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
11140 OID is not part of the table.
11141 [Steve Henson]
11142
11143 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
11144 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
11145 [Ben Laurie]
11146
11147 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
11148 [Ben Laurie]
11149
11150 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
11151 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
11152 was "1234").
11153 [Steve Henson]
11154
11155 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
11156 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
11157
11158 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
11159 NULL pointers.
11160 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11161
11162 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
11163 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11164
11165 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
11166 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11167
11168 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
11169 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
11170
11171 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
11172 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
11173 [Ben Laurie]
11174
11175 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
11176 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
11177 [Steve Henson]
11178
11179 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
11180 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11181
11182 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
11183 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11184
11185 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
11186 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11187
11188 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
11189 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11190
11191 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
11192 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
11193 unused in the certificate verification process.
11194 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11195
11196 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
11197 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
11198 [Steve Henson]
11199
11200 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
11201 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
11202 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
11203
11204 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
11205 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
11206 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
11207 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
11208 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
11209
11210 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
11211 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
11212 [Steve Henson]
11213
11214 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
11215 [Steve Henson]
11216
11217 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
11218 [Paul Sutton]
11219
11220 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
11221 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
11222
11223 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
11224 [Ben Laurie]
11225
11226 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
11227 [Ben Laurie]
11228
11229 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
11230 [Ben Laurie]
11231
11232 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
11233 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
11234 other error libraries.
11235 [Steve Henson]
11236
11237 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
11238 [Steve Henson]
11239
11240 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
11241 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
11242 be read in.
11243 [Steve Henson]
11244
11245 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
11246 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
11247 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
11248 the new set of documenation files.
11249 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11250
11251 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
11252 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
11253 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
11254 number of arguments.
11255 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
11256
11257 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
11258 [Ben Laurie]
11259
11260 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
11261 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
11262 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11263
11264 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
11265 [Ben Laurie]
11266
11267 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
11268 nextstep
11269 ncr-scde
11270 unixware-2.0
11271 unixware-2.0-pentium
11272 sco5-cc.
11273 [Ben Laurie]
11274
11275 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
11276 before they are needed.
11277 [Ben Laurie]
11278
11279 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
11280 [Ben Laurie]
11281
11282
11283 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
11284
11285 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
11286 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
11287 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11288
11289 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
11290 [Paul Sutton]
11291
11292 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
11293 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
11294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11295
11296 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
11297 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
11298 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
11299
11300 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
11301 when "ssleay" is still not found.
11302 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11303
11304 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
11305 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
11306
11307 *) Updated the README file.
11308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11309
11310 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
11311 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
11312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11313
11314 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
11315 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
11316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11317
11318 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
11319 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11320 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11321 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11322 o removed obsolete TODO file
11323 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11325
11326 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11327 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11328 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
11329 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
11330 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
11331 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11332 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11333
11334 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11335 [Mark J. Cox]
11336
11337 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11338 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11339 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11340 summer 1998.
11341 [The OpenSSL Project]
11342
11343
11344 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11345
11346 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11347 [Eric A. Young]
11348
11349 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11350 [Eric A. Young]
11351
11352 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11353 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11354 [Eric A. Young]
11355
11356 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11357 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11358 available).
11359 [Eric A. Young]
11360
11361 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11362 binary structures
11363 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11364
11365 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11366 [Eric A. Young]
11367
11368 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11369 [Eric A. Young]
11370
11371 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11372 [Eric A. Young]
11373
11374 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11375 [Eric A. Young]
11376
11377 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11378 [Eric A. Young]
11379
11380 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11381 [Eric A. Young]
11382
11383 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11384 [Eric A. Young]
11385
11386 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11387 [Eric A. Young]
11388
11389 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11390 [Eric A. Young]
11391
11392 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11393 [Eric A. Young]
11394
11395 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11396 [Eric A. Young]
11397
11398 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11399 [Eric A. Young]
11400
11401 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11402 [Eric A. Young]
11403
11404 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11405 [Eric A. Young]
11406
11407 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11408 [Eric A. Young]
11409
11410 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11411 [Eric A. Young]
11412
11413 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11414 [Eric A. Young]
11415
11416 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11417 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11418 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11419 [Eric A. Young]
11420
11421 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11422 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11423 [Eric A. Young]
11424
11425 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11426 [Eric A. Young]
11427
11428 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11429 [Eric A. Young]
11430
11431 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11432 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11433 [Eric A. Young]
11434
11435 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11436 [Eric A. Young]
11437
11438 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11439 [Eric A. Young]
11440
11441 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11442 bytes sent in the client random.
11443 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
11444
