5 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [xx XXX 2000]
6
7 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
8 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
10 version rollback attacks was not effective.
11
12 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
13 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
14 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
15 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
16 [Bodo Moeller]
17
18 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
19 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
20 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
21 [Richard Levitte]
22
23 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
24 these print out strings and name structures based on various
25 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
26 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
27 to allow the various flags to be set.
28 [Steve Henson]
29
30 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
31 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
32 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
33 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
34 dates to be checked.
35 [Steve Henson]
36
37 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
38 negative public key encodings) on by default,
39 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
40 [Steve Henson]
41
42 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
43 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
44 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
45 [Steve Henson]
46
47 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
48 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
49 [Bodo Moeller]
50
51 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
52 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
53 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
54 are always statically linked for now, but there are
55 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
56 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
57 [Richard Levitte]
58
59 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
60 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
61 Random Numbers.
62 [Ulf Möller]
63
64 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
65 DSA key.
66 [Steve Henson]
67
68 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
69 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
70 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
71 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
72 form signing output easier to verify.
73 [Steve Henson]
74
75 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
76 [Steve Henson]
77
78 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
79 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
80 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
81 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
82 are needed because all other string types have virtually
83 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
84 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
85 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
86 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
87 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
88 [Steve Henson]
89
90 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
91
92 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
93 the syntax given in objects.README.
94 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
95 obj_mac.h.
96 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
97 obj_mac.h.
98
99 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
100 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
101 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
102 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
103 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
104 consistent name changes.
105 [Richard Levitte]
106
107 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
108 [Bodo Moeller]
109
110 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
111 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
112 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
113 environment variable, or the default random state file.
114 [Richard Levitte]
115
116 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
117 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
118 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
119 of safestack.h .
120 [Steve Henson]
121
122 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
123 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
124 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
125 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
126 [Steve Henson]
127
128 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
129 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
130 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
131 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
132 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
133 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
134 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
135 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
136 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
137 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
138 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
139 [Steve Henson]
140
141 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
142 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
143 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
144 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
145 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
146 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
147 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
148 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
149 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
150 algorithm to openssl-dev.
151 [Steve Henson]
152
153 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
154 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
155 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
156 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
157
158 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
159 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
160 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
161 omit any duplicate addresses.
162 [Steve Henson]
163
164 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
165 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
166 [Bodo Moeller]
167
168 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
169 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
170 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
171 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
172 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
173 [Bodo Moeller]
174
175 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
176 software:
177 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
178 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
179 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
180 Free => OPENSSL_free
181 [Richard Levitte]
182
183 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
184 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
185 [Bodo Moeller]
186
187 *) CygWin32 support.
188 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
189
190 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
191 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
192 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
193 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
194 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
195 approach.
196 [Geoff Thorpe]
197
198 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
199 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
200 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
201 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
202 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
203 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
204 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
205 [Geoff Thorpe]
206
207 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
208 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
209 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
210 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
211 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
212 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
213 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
214 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
215 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
216 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
217 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
218 [Bodo Moeller]
219
220 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
221 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
222 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
223 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
224 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
225
226 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
227 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
228 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
229 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
230 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
231
232 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
233 ciphers.
234
235 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
236 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
237 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
238 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
239
240 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
241
242 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
243 of macros.
244
245 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
246 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
247 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
248 flags.
249
250 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
251 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
252 any installed hardware versions can.
253 [Steve Henson]
254
255 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
256 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
257 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
258 number.
259 [Bodo Moeller]
260
261 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
262 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
263 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
264 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
265 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
266
267 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
268 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
269 [Steve Henson]
270
271 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
272 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
273 [Richard Levitte]
274
275 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
276 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
277 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
278 features.
279 [Steve Henson]
280
281 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
282 [Ulf Möller]
283
284 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
285 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
286 but no ssl client purpose.
287 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
288
289 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
290 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
291 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
292 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
293 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
294 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
295 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
296 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
297 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
298 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
299 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
300 [Steve Henson]
301
302 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
303 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
304 be obtained from the error queue.
305 [Bodo Moeller]
306
307 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
308 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
309 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
310 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
311 [Bodo Moeller]
312
313 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
314 [Ulf Möller]
315
316 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
317 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
318 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
319 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
320 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
321 [Geoff Thorpe]
322
323 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
324 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
325 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
326 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
327 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
328 [Geoff Thorpe]
329
330 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
331 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
332 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
333 may not be NULL.
334 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
335
336 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
337 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
338 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
339 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
340 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
341 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
342 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
343 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
344 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
345 or "the configuration storage API"...
346
347 The new configuration file reading functions are:
348
349 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
350 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
351
352 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
353
354 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
355
356 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
357 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
358 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
359 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
360 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
361 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
362 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
363
364 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
365 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
366 [Richard Levitte]
367
368 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
369 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
370 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
371 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
372 [Bodo Moeller]
373
374 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
375 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
376 them in a portable way.
377 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
378
379 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
380
381 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
382
383 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
384 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
385
386 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
387 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
388 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
389 <attili@amaxo.com>]
390
391 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
392 was larger than the MD block size.
393 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
394
395 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
396 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
397 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
398 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
399 components.
400 [Steve Henson]
401
402 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
403 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
404 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
405
406 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
407 discouraged.
408 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
409
410 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
411 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
412 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
413 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
414 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
415 Additional arguments are always ignored.
416
417 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
418 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
419
420 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
421 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
422 [Bodo Moeller]
423
424 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
425 [Bodo Moeller]
426
427 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
428 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
429 its own key.
430 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
431 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
432 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
433 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
434 [Bodo Moeller]
435
436 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
437 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
438 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
439 does not suppress any output.
440 [Richard Levitte]
441
442 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
443 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
444 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
445 with all the associated security issues.
446
447 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
448 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
449 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
450 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
451 use the value in the default purpose.
452 [Steve Henson]
453
454 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
455 and fix a memory leak.
456 [Steve Henson]
457
458 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
459 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
460 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
461 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
462 [Bodo Moeller]
463
464 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
465 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
466 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
467 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
468 [Bodo Moeller]
469
470 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
471 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
472 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
473 [Bodo Moeller]
474
475 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
476 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
477 [Bodo Moeller]
478
479 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
480 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
481 which was free.
482 [Steve Henson]
483
484 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
485 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
486 [Bodo Moeller]
487
488 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
489 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
490 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
491 [Bodo Moeller]
492
493 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
494 number generation fails.
495 [Bodo Moeller]
496
497 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
498 [Bodo Moeller]
499
500 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
501 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
502
503 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
504 [Ulf Möller]
505
506 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
507 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
508
509 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
510 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
511
512 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
513
514 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
515 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
516 [Steve Henson]
517
518 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
519 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
520
521 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
522 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
523 [Ulf Möller]
524
525 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
526 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
527 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
528 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
529 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
530 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
531
532 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
533 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
534 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
535 for example.
536 [Steve Henson]
537
538 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
539 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
540 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
541 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
542 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
543 counter, some don't.)
544 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
545 counters or duplicate objects.
546 [Steve Henson]
547
548 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
549 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
550 [Steve Henson]
551
552 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
553 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
554 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
555
556 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
557 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
558 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
559 or -rand.
560 [Ulf Möller]
561
562 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
563 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
567 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
568 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
569 cipher list.
570 [Steve Henson]
571
572 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
573 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
574 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
575 [Steve Henson]
576
577 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
578 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
579 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
580 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
581 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
582 should work without changes.
583 [Richard Levitte]
584
585 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
586 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
587 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
588 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
589 must be defined. E.g.,
590 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
591 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
592 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
593 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
594
595 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
596 record layer.
597 [Bodo Moeller]
598
599 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
600 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
601 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
602 [Steve Henson]
603
604 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
605 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
606 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
607 request header lines. Some software needs this.
608 [Steve Henson]
609
610 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
611 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
612 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
613 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
614 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
615 is prompted for as usual.
616 [Steve Henson]
617
618 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
619 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
620 autodetect the card and use it if present.
621 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
622
623 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
624 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
625 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
626 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
627 [Steve Henson]
628
629 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
630 [Andy Polyakov]
631
632 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
633 of seed file.
634 [Steve Henson]
635
636 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
637 [Bodo Moeller]
638
639 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
640 [Steve Henson]
641
642 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
643 bits.
644 [Ulf Möller]
645
646 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
647 [Ulf Möller]
648
649 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
650 [Andy Polyakov]
651
652 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
653 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
654 [Ulf Möller]
655
656 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
657 options to produce them.
658 [Steve Henson]
659
660 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
661 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
662 [Ulf Möller]
663
664 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
665 for p == 0.
666 [Ulf Möller]
667
668 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
669 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
670 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
671 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
672 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
673 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
674 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
675 [Steve Henson]
676
677 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
678 [Steve Henson]
679
680 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
681 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
682 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
683 [Bodo Moeller]
684
685 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
686 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
687
688 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
689 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
690 [Ulf Möller]
691
692 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
693 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
694 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
695 has already seen).
696 [Bodo Moeller]
697
698 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
699 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
700
701 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
702 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
703 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
704 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
705 generation becomes much faster.
706
707 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
708 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
709 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
710 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
711 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
712 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
713 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
714 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
715 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
716 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
717 [Bodo Moeller]
718
719 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
720 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
721 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
722 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
723 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
724 trial division stage.
725 [Bodo Moeller]
726
727 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
728 as ASN1_TIME.
729 [Steve Henson]
730
731 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
732 [Steve Henson]
733
734 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
735 [Ulf Möller]
736
737 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
738 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
739 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
740 the comments.
741 [Ulf Möller]
742
743 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
744 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
745 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
746 [Bodo Moeller]
747
748 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
749 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
750 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
751 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
752
753 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
754 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
755 [Steve Henson]
756
757 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
758 [Ulf Möller]
759
760 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
761 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
762 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
763 Rabin-Miller iterations.
764 [Ulf Möller]
765
766 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
767 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
768 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
769 [Ulf Möller]
770
771 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
772 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
773 (instead of parameters) in future.
774 [Steve Henson]
775
776 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
777 when a new cipher list is set.
778 [Steve Henson]
779
780 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
781 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
782 wrong.
783
784 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
785 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
786 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
787
788 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
789 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
790 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
791 an error is flagged.
792
793 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
794 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
795 the readability was also increased :-)
796 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
797
798 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
799 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
800 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
801 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
802 as the root CA.
803 [Steve Henson]
804
805 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
806 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
807 [Steve Henson]
808
809 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
810 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
811 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
812 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
813 instead.
814
815 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
816 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
817 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
818 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
819 because they handle more complex structures.)
820 [Steve Henson]
821
822 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
823 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
824 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
825 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
826
827 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
828 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
829 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
830 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
831 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
832 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
833 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
834 [Ulf Möller]
835
836 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
837 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
838 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
839 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
840 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
841 [Bodo Moeller]
842
843 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
844 [Bodo Moeller]
845
846 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
847 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
848 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
849 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
850 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
851 to use this.
852
853 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
854 code.
855 [Steve Henson]
856
857 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
858 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
859 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
860 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
861 [Steve Henson]
862
863 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
864 [Ulf Möller]
865
866 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
867 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
868 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
869 international characters are used.
870
871 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
872 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
873 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
874 in ASN1 order.
875 [Steve Henson]
876
877 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
878 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
879 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
880 request.
881
882 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
883 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
884 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
885 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
886 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
887 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
888
889 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
890 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
891 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
892 be handled by the string table functions.
893
894 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
895 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
896 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
897 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
898 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
899 types at all.
900 [Steve Henson]
901
902 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
903 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
904 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
905 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
906 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
907
908 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
909 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
910 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
911 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
912 [Bodo Moeller]
913
914 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
915 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
916 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
917 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
918 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
919 SHA1.
920 [Andy Polyakov]
921
922 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
923 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
924 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
925 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
926 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
927 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
928 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
929 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
930
931 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
932 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
933 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
934 [Steve Henson]
935
936 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
937 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
938 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
939 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
940 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
941 support to pkcs8 application.
942 [Steve Henson]
943
944 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
945 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
946 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
947 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
948 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
949 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
950 [Bodo Moeller]
951
952 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
953 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
954 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
955 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
956 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
957 consistency.
958 [Bodo Moeller]
959
960 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
961 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
962 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
963 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
964 example.
965 [Steve Henson]
966
967 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
968 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
969 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
970 and any application specific purposes.
971
972 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
973 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
974 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
975 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
976 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
977 if the certificate is self signed.
978 [Steve Henson]
979
980 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
981 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
982 [Steve Henson]
983
984 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
985 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
986 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
987 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
988 [Steve Henson]
989
990 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
991 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
992 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
993 Update documentation.
994 [Steve Henson]
995
996 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
997 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
998 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
999 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
1000 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
1001 [Steve Henson]
1002
1003 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
1004 for details.
1005 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
1006
1007 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
1008 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
1009 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
1010 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
1011 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
1012 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
1013 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
1014 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
1015 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
1016 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
1017
1018 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
1019
1020 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1021 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
1022 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
1023 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
1024 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
1025
1026 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
1027 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
1028 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
1029 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
1030 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
1031 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
1032 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
1033 request additional information:
1034 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
1035 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
1036
1037 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
1038 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
1039 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
1040 options.
1041
1042 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
1043 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
1044
1045 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
1046 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
1047 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
1048
1049 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
1050 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1051
1052 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
1053 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
1054 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
1055 algorithm.
1056 [Steve Henson]
1057
1058 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
1059 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
1060 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
1061
1062 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
1063 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
1064 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
1065 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
1066 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
1067 included in OpenSSL.
1068 [Steve Henson]
1069
1070 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
1071 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
1072 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
1073 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
1074 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
1075 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
1076 [Bodo Moeller]
1077
1078 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
1079 PKCS12 structure.
1080 [Steve Henson]
1081
1082 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
1083 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
1084 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
1085 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
1086 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
1087 structure.
1088 [Steve Henson]
1089
1090 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
1091 need initialising.
1092 [Steve Henson]
1093
1094 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
1095 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
1096 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
1097 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
1098 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
1099 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
1100 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
1101 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
1102 be maintained manually.
1103
1104 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
1105 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
1106 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
1107 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
1108 work because people forget to call this function]
1109 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
1110 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
1111 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
1112 [Steve Henson]
1113
1114 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
1115 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
1116 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
1117 should be discouraged from doing it.
1118 [Ben Laurie]
1119
1120 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
1121 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
1122 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
1123 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
1124 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
1125 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
1126 [Steve Henson]
1127
1128 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
1129 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
1130 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
1131
1132 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
1133 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
1134 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
1135
1136 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
1137 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
1138 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
1139 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
1140 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
1141 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
1142
1143 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
1144 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
1145 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
1146
1147 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
1148 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
1149 and vice versa.
1150
1151 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
1152 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
1153 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
1154 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
1158 [Steve Henson]
1159
1160 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
1161 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
1162 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
1163 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
1164 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
1165 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
1166 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
1167 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
1168 keys so we should be OK.
1169
1170 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
1171 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
1172 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
1173 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
1174 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
1175 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
1176 stay in the name of compatibility.
1177
1178 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
1179 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
1180 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
1181
1182 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
1183 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
1184 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
1185 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
1186 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
1187 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
1188 supplied key).
1189 [Steve Henson]
1190
1191 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
1192 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
1193 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
1194 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
1195 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
1196 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
1197 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
1198 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
1199 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
1200 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
1201 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
1202 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
1203 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
1204 [Steve Henson]
1205
1206 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
1207 [Steve Henson]
1208
1209 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
1210 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
1211 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
1212 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
1213 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
1214 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
1215 single self signed certificate. This means that:
1216 openssl verify ss.pem
1217 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
1218 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
1219 is OK.
1220 [Steve Henson]
1221
1222 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
1223 (and add it to external session representation).
1224 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
1225 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
1226 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
1227 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
1228 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
1229 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
1230 security holes.
1231 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
1232
1233 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
1234 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
1235 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
1236 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
1237
1238 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
1239 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
1240 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
1241 [Steve Henson]
1242
1243 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
1244 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
1245 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
1246 code.
1247 [Steve Henson]
1248
1249 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
1250 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
1251 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
1252
1253 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
1254 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
1255 certificate auxiliary information.
1256 [Steve Henson]
1257
1258 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
1259 the 'enc' command.
1260 [Steve Henson]
1261
1262 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
1263 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
1264 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
1265 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
1266 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
1267 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
1268 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
1269 [Richard Levitte]
1270
1271 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
1272 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
1273 [Steve Henson]
1274
1275 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
1276 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
1277 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
1278 manpages and fix a few bugs.
1279 [Steve Henson]
1280
1281 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
1282 [Steve Henson]
1283
1284 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
1285 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
1286 [Steve Henson]
1287
1288 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
1289 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
1290 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
1291 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
1292 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
1293 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
1294 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
1295 using the new 'x509' options.
1296
1297 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
1298 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
1299 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
1300 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
1301 for all purposes.
1302 [Steve Henson]
1303
1304 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
1305 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
1306 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
1307 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
1308 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
1309 [Mark Cox]
1310
1311 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
1312 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
1313 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
1314 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
1315 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
1316 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
1317 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
1318 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
1319 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
1320 the key length and effective key length are equal.
1321 [Steve Henson]
1322
1323 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
1324 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
1325 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
1326 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
1327 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
1328 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
1329 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
1330 [Steve Henson]
1331
1332 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
1333 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
1334 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
1335 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
1336 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
1337 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
1338 openssl.cnf for more info.
1339 [Steve Henson]
1340
1341 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
1342 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
1343 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
1344 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
1345 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
1346 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
1347 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
1348 md should be large enough anyway.
1349 [Bodo Moeller]
1350
1351 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
1352 for handling the random seed file.
1353
1354 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
1355 ca,
1356 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
1357 s_client,
1358 s_server,
1359 x509 (when signing).
1360 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
1361 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
1362 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
1363
1364 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
1365 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
1366 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
1367 that support '-rand'.
1368 [Bodo Moeller]
1369
1370 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
1371 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
1372 [Bodo Moeller]
1373
1374 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
1375 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
1376 [Bill Perry]
1377
1378 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
1379 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
1380 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
1381 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
1382 is suitable.
1383 [Steve Henson]
1384
1385 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
1386 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
1387 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
1388 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
1389 [Steve Henson]
1390
1391 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
1392 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
1393 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
1394 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
1395 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
1396 print out all the purposes.
1397 [Steve Henson]
1398
1399 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
1400 functions.
1401 [Steve Henson]
1402
1403 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
1404 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
1405 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
1406 single function call.
1407 [Steve Henson]
1408
1409 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
1410 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
1411 [Andy Polyakov]
1412
1413 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
1414 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
1415 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
1416 [Steve Henson]
1417
1418 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
1419 when producing the local key id.
1420 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
1421
1422 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
1423 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
1424 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
1425 "server.pem".
1426 [Steve Henson]
1427
1428 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
1429 a public key to be input or output. For example:
1430 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
1431 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
1432 [Steve Henson]
1433
1434 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
1435 in the message. This was handled by allowing
1436 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
1437 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
1438
1439 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
1440 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
1441 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
1442 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1443
1444 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
1445 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
1446 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
1447 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
1448 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
1449 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
1450 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
1451 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
1452 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
1453 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
1454 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
1455 trivial: move one line.
1456 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
1457
1458 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
1459 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
1460 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
1461 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
1462 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
1463 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
1464 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
1465 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
1466 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
1467 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
1468 with an event loop for example.
1469 [Steve Henson]
1470
1471 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
1472 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
1473 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
1474 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
1475 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
1476 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
1477 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
1478 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
1479 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
1480 [Steve Henson]
1481
1482 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
1483 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
1484 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
1485 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
1486 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
1487 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
1488 [Steve Henson]
1489
1490 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
1491 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
1492 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
1493 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
1494
1495 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
1496 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
1497 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
1498 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
1499 key generation.
1500 [Steve Henson]
1501
1502 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
1503 (still largely untested)
1504 [Bodo Moeller]
1505
1506 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
1507 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
1511 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
1512 [Steve Henson]
1513
1514 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
1515 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
1516 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
1517 [Bodo Moeller]
1518
1519 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
1520 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
1521 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
1522 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
1523 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
1524 [Steve Henson]
1525
1526 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
1527 [Andy Polyakov]
1528
1529 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
1530 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
1531 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
1532 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
1533 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
1534 in ca.
1535 [Steve Henson]
1536
1537 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
1538 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
1539 1.OU="Unit name 1"
1540 2.OU="Unit name 2"
1541 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
1542 [Steve Henson]
1543
1544 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
1545 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
1546 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
1547 are otherwise ignored at present.
1548 [Steve Henson]
1549
1550 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
1551 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
1552 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
1553 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
1554 copied until the next read.
1555 [Steve Henson]
1556
1557 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
1558 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
1559 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
1560 [Steve Henson]
1561
1562 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
1563 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
1564 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
1565 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
1566 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
1567 associated functions.
1568 [Steve Henson]
1569
1570 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
1571 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
1572 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
1573 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
1574 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
1575 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
1576 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
1577 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
1578 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
1579 memory BIOs.
1580 [Steve Henson]
1581
1582 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
1583 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
1584 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
1585 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
1586 [Bodo Moeller]
1587
1588 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
1589 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
1590 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
1591 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
1592 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
1593 functionality.
1594 [Steve Henson]
1595
1596 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
1597 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
1598 under Win32.
1599 [Steve Henson]
1600
1601 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
1602 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
1603 extensions to be obtained and added.
1604 [Steve Henson]
1605
1606 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
1607 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
1608 [Bodo Moeller]
1609
1610 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
1611
1612 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
1613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1614
1615 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
1616 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
1617
1618 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
1619 program.
1620 [Steve Henson]
1621
1622 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
1623 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
1624 DH parameters contain its length).
1625
1626 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
1627 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
1628 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
1629 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
1630 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
1631 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
1632 utter importance to use
1633 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1634 or
1635 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
1636 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
1637 attacks may become possible!
1638 [Bodo Moeller]
1639
1640 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
1641 [Bodo Moeller]
1642
1643 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
1644 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
1645 [Steve Henson]
1646
1647 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
1648 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
1649 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
1650 or long name.
1651 [Steve Henson]
1652
1653 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
1654 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
1655 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
1656 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
1657 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
1658 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
1659 private key operations.
1660 [Steve Henson]
1661
1662 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
1663 [Andy Polyakov]
1664
1665 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
1666 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
1667 to
1668 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
1669 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
1670 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
1671 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
1672 the password callback is called.
1673 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
1674
1675 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
1676
1677 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
1678 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
1679 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
1680 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
1681 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
1682 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
1683 this will work.
1684
1685 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
1686 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
1687 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
1688 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
1689 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
1690 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
1691 [Bodo Moeller]
1692
1693 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
1694 [Andy Polyakov]
1695
1696 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
1697 delete an unused file.
1698 [Ulf Möller]
1699
1700 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
1701 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
1702 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
1703 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
1707 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
1708 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
1709 of an error.
1710 [Bodo Moeller]
1711
1712 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
1713 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
1714 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1715
1716 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
1717 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
1718 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
1719 comparison" warnings.
1720 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
1724 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
1725 derived keys are printed to stderr.
1726 [Steve Henson]
1727
1728 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
1729 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
1730
1731 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
1732 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
1733
1734 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
1735 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
1736 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
1737
1738 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
1739 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
1740 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
1741 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
1742 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
1743 this bug.
1744 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
1745
1746 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
1747 The interface is as follows:
1748 Applications can use
1749 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
1750 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
1751 "off" is now the default.
1752 The library internally uses
1753 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
1754 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
1755 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
1756
1757 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
1758 even the default) are now avoided.
1759
1760 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
1761 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
1762 than just having a counter.
1763
1764 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
1765
1766 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
1767 extensions.
1768 [Bodo Moeller]
1769
1770 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
1771 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
1772 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
1773 Initial "mode" flags are:
1774
1775 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
1776 a single record has been written.
1777 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
1778 retries use the same buffer location.
1779 (But all of the contents must be
1780 copied!)
1781 [Bodo Moeller]
1782
1783 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
1784 worked.
1785
1786 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
1787 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
1788
1789 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
1790 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
1791 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
1792 [Steve Henson]
1793
1794 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
1795 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
1796 test programs.
1797 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
1798
1799 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
1800 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
1801 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
1802 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
1803 point to the end.
1804 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
1805 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
1806
1807 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
1808 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
1809 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
1810 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
1811 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
1812 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
1813 [Steve Henson]
1814
1815 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
1816 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
1817 necessary function names.
1818 [Steve Henson]
1819
1820 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
1821 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
1822 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
1823 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
1824 [Bodo Moeller]
1825
1826 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
1827 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
1828 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
1829 [Steve Henson]
1830
1831 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
1832 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
1833 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
1834 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
1835 such programs?)
1836 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
1837 need locks.
1838 [Bodo Moeller]
1839
1840 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
1841 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
1842 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
1843 [Bodo Moeller]
1844
1845 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
1846 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
1847 appropriate.
1848 [Bodo Moeller]
1849
1850 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
1851 for the encoded length.
1852 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
1853
1854 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
1855 [Steve Henson]
1856
1857 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
1858 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
1859 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
1860 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
1861 [Steve Henson]
1862
1863 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
1864 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
1865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1866
1867 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
1868 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
1869 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
1870 unusual formatting.
1871 [Steve Henson]
1872
1873 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
1874 to use the new extension code.
1875 [Steve Henson]
1876
1877 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
1878 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
1879 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
1880 constant.
1881 [Steve Henson]
1882
1883 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
1884 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
1885 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
1886 [Bodo Moeller]
1887
1888 #if 0
1889 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
1890 [Ben Laurie]
1891 #else
1892 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
1893 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
1894 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
1895 #endif
1896
1897 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
1898 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
1899 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
1900 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
1901 [Ben Laurie]
1902
1903 *) DES library cleanups.
1904 [Ulf Möller]
1905
1906 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
1907 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
1908 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
1909 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
1910 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
1911 of v2.0.
1912 [Steve Henson]
1913
1914 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
1915 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
1916 [Bodo Moeller]
1917
1918 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
1919 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
1920 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
1921 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
1922 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
1923 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
1924 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
1925 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
1926 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
1927 [Steve Henson]
1928
1929 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
1930 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
1931 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
1932 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
1933 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
1934 value doesn't matter.
1935 [Steve Henson]
1936
1937 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
1938 support mutable.
1939 [Ben Laurie]
1940
1941 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
1942 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
1943 "linux-sparc" configuration.
1944 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
1945
1946 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
1947 [Ulf Möller]
1948
1949 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
1950 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
1951 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1952
1953 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
1954 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1955
1956 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
1957 [Ben Laurie]
1958
1959 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
1960 [Ben Laurie]
1961
1962 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
1963 [Ben Laurie]
1964
1965 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
1966 [Bodo Moeller]
1967
1968
1969 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
1970
1971 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
1972
1973 *) Updated some demos.
1974 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
1975
1976 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
1977 [Wu Zhigang]
1978
1979 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
1980 [Steve Henson]
1981
1982 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
1983 [Steve Henson]
1984
1985 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
1986 instead of using a fixed path.
1987 [Bodo Moeller]
1988
1989 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
1990 [Andy Polyakov]
1991
1992 *) Improvements for VMS support.
1993 [Richard Levitte]
1994
1995
1996 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
1997
1998 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
1999 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
2000 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2001
2002 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
2003 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
2004 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
2005 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
2006 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
2007 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
2008 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
2009 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
2010 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
2011 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
2012 [Steve Henson]
2013
2014 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
2015 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
2016 [Steve Henson]
2017
2018 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
2019 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
2020 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
2021 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
2022 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
2023
2024 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
2025 [Bodo Moeller]
2026
2027 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
2028 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
2029 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
2033 [Ben Laurie]
2034
2035 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
2036 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
2037 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
2038 key elements as negative integers.
2039 [Steve Henson]
2040
2041 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
2042 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2043
2044 *) VMS support.
2045 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
2046
2047 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
2048 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
2049 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
2050 [Steve Henson]
2051
2052 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
2053 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
2054 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
2055 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
2056 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
2057 [Bodo Moeller]
2058
2059 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
2060 [Ulf Möller]
2061
2062 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
2063 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
2064 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
2065 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2066
2067 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
2068 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
2069 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
2070
2071 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
2072 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
2073 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
2074 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
2075 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
2076 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
2077 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
2078 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
2079 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
2080
2081 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
2082 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
2083 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
2084 does not influence s as it used to.
2085
2086 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
2087 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
2088 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
2089 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
2090 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
2091 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
2092 [Bodo Moeller]
2093
2094 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
2095 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
2096 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
2097 key type.
2098 [Steve Henson]
2099
2100 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
2101 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
2102 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
2103 and 'x509').
2104 [Steve Henson]
2105
2106 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
2107 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
2108 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
2109 extension option.
2110 [Steve Henson]
2111
2112 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
2113 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
2114 [Ben Laurie]
2115
2116 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
2117 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2118
2119 *) Support Mingw32.
2120 [Ulf Möller]
2121
2122 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
2123 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2124
2125 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
2126 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2127
2128 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
2129 [Ulf Möller]
2130
2131 *) Update HPUX configuration.
2132 [Anonymous]
2133
2134 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
2135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2136
2137 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
2138 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
2139 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
2140 DER-encoded.)
2141 [Bodo Moeller]
2142
2143 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
2144 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
2145 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
2146 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
2147 now it really counts the depth.
2148 [Bodo Moeller]
2149
2150 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
2151 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
2152 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
2153 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
2154 didn't match the private key).
2155
2156 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
2157 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
2158 connection using the SSL_CTX).
2159 [Bodo Moeller]
2160
2161 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
2162 [Ulf Möller]
2163
2164 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
2165 David Harris.
2166 [Bodo Moeller]
2167
2168 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
2169 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
2170 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
2171 [Bodo Moeller]
2172
2173 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
2174 [Bodo Moeller]
2175
2176 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
2177 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
2178 such as /usr/local/bin.
2179 [Bodo Moeller]
2180
2181 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
2182 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2183
2184 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
2185 [Ulf Möller]
2186
2187 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
2188 extension adding in x509 utility.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
2192 [Ulf Möller]
2193
2194 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
2195 prototypes.
2196 [Steve Henson]
2197
2198 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
2199 [Ulf Möller]
2200
2201 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
2202 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
2203 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
2204 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
2205 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
2206 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
2207 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
2208 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
2209 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
2210 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
2211 [Steve Henson]
2212
2213 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
2214 [Bodo Moeller]
2215
2216 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
2217 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
2218 [Bodo Moeller]
2219
2220 *) Fix some race conditions.
2221 [Bodo Moeller]
2222
2223 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
2224 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
2225 [Steve Henson]
2226
2227 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
2228 [Ulf Möller]
2229
2230 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
2231 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
2232 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
2233 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
2234
2235 *) Fix lots of warnings.
2236 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2237
2238 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
2239 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
2240 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2241
2242 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
2243 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2244
2245 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
2246 [Ulf Möller]
2247
2248 *) Fix typos in error codes.
2249 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
2250
2251 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
2252 [Ulf Möller]
2253
2254 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
2255 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
2256
2257 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
2258 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
2259 [Steve Henson]
2260
2261 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
2262 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
2263 [Ben Laurie]
2264
2265 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
2266 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
2267 [Steve Henson]
2268
2269 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
2270 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
2271 [Steve Henson]
2272
2273 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
2274 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
2275 [Steve Henson]
2276
2277 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
2278 support typesafe stack.
2279 [Steve Henson]
2280
2281 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
2282 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
2283
2284 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
2285 old X509V3 handling code.
2286 [Steve Henson]
2287
2288 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
2289 [Ulf Möller]
2290
2291 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
2292 [Bodo Moeller]
2293
2294 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
2295 [Ben Laurie]
2296
2297 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
2298 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
2299
2300 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
2301 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
2302 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
2303 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
2304 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
2305 [Ben Laurie]
2306
2307 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
2308 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
2309 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
2310 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
2311 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
2312
2313 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
2314 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
2315 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
2316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2317
2318 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
2319 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
2320 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
2321 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2322
2323 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
2324 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
2325 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
2326 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
2327 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
2328 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
2329 [Bodo Moeller]
2330
2331 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
2332 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
2333 [Bodo Moeller]
2334
2335 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
2336 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
2337 [Ulf Möller]
2338
2339 *) Tweaks to Configure
2340 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
2341
2342 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
2343 yet...
2344 [Steve Henson]
2345
2346 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
2347 [Ulf Möller]
2348
2349 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
2350 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
2351 [Ulf Möller]
2352
2353 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
2354 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
2355 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
2356 [Bodo Moeller]
2357
2358 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
2359 [Bodo Moeller]
2360
2361 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
2362 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
2363 [Steve Henson]
2364
2365 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
2366 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
2367 to library startup routines.
2368 [Steve Henson]
2369
2370 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
2371 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
2372 codes along the way.
2373 [Steve Henson]
2374
2375 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
2376 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
2377 objects to objects.h
2378 [Steve Henson]
2379
2380 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
2381 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
2385 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
2386
2387 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
2388 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
2389 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
2390
2391 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
2392 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
2393 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2394
2395 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
2396 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
2397 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
2398
2399
2400 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
2401
2402 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
2403 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
2404 [Ben Laurie]
2405
2406 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
2407 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
2408 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
2409 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
2410 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
2411
2412 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
2413 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
2414 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
2415 document.
2416 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2417
2418 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
2419 Malloc, Free.
2420 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
2421
2422 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
2423 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2424
2425 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
2426 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
2427 if someone would make that last step automatic.
2428 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
2429
2430 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
2431 [Ben Laurie]
2432
2433 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
2434 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
2435 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
2436 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
2437 [Steve Henson]
2438
2439 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
2440 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
2441 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
2442 [Steve Henson]
2443
2444 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
2445 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
2446 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
2447 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
2448 installed as `perl').
2449 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2450
2451 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
2452 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2453
2454 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
2455 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
2456 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
2457 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
2458 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
2459 [Steve Henson]
2460
2461 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
2462 [Ben Laurie]
2463
2464 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
2465 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
2466 is horrible: I feel ill....
2467 [Steve Henson]
2468
2469 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
2470 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
2471 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
2472 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
2473 [Steve Henson]
2474
2475 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
2476 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2477
2478 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
2479 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
2480 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
2481 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2482
2483 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
2484 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
2485 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
2486 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
2487 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
2488 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
2489 openssl_bio.xs.
2490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2491
2492 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
2493 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2494
2495 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
2496 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
2497
2498 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
2499 [Ben Laurie]
2500
2501 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
2502 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
2503 in CRLs.
2504 [Steve Henson]
2505
2506 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
2507 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
2508 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
2509 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
2510 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
2511 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
2512 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
2513 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
2514 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
2515 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
2516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2517
2518 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
2519 [Ben Laurie]
2520
2521 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
2522 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
2523 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
2524 for linking it into DSOs.
2525 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2526
2527 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
2528 Fixed.
2529 [Ben Laurie]
2530
2531 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
2532 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
2533 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
2534 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
2535 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
2536 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2537
2538 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
2539 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
2540 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
2541 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
2542 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
2543 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
2544 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2545
2546 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
2547 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
2548 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
2549 encryption.
2550 [Ben Laurie]
2551
2552 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
2553 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
2554 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
2555 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
2556 [Steve Henson]
2557
2558 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
2559 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
2560 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
2561 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
2562 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
2563 field as blank.
2564 [Steve Henson]
2565
2566 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
2567 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
2568 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
2569 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
2570 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2571
2572 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
2573 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
2574 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2575
2576 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
2577 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
2578
2579 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
2580 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
2581 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
2582 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
2583 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
2584 [Steve Henson]
2585
2586 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
2587 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
2588 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
2589 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
2590 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
2591 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
2592 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
2593 [Ben Laurie]
2594
2595 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
2596 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
2597 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
2598 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
2599 [Ben Laurie]
2600
2601 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
2602 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
2603
2604 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
2605 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
2606 [Steve Henson]
2607
2608 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
2609 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
2610 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
2611 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
2612 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
2613 (e.g. s_server).
2614 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
2615 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
2616 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
2617 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
2618 no way to reconfigure them.
2619 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
2620 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
2621 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
2622 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
2623 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
2624 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2625
2626 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
2627 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
2628 recognized by the users.
2629 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2630
2631 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
2632 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
2633 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
2634 already masked variable.
2635 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2636
2637 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
2638 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2639
2640 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
2641 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
2642 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
2643 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2644
2645 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
2646 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
2647 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2648
2649 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
2650 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
2651 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
2652 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
2653 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
2654 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
2655 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
2656 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
2657 now, too.
2658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2659
2660 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
2661 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
2662 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2663
2664 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
2665 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
2666 config file.
2667 [Steve Henson]
2668
2669 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
2670 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
2671
2672 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
2673 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
2674 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
2675 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
2676 [Ben Laurie]
2677
2678 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
2679 [Steve Henson]
2680
2681 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
2682 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2683
2684 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
2685 [Ben Laurie]
2686
2687 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
2688 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
2689 [Steve Henson]
2690
2691 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
2692 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
2693 [Steve Henson]
2694
2695 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
2696 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
2697 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
2698 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
2699 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
2700 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
2701 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
2702 Ben Laurie]
2703
2704 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
2705 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2706
2707 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
2708 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
2709 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
2710 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
2711 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2712
2713 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
2714 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
2715 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
2716 [Steve Henson]
2717
2718 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
2719 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
2720 an example.
2721 [Steve Henson]
2722
2723 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
2724 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
2725 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2726
2727 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
2728 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
2729 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
2730 build instructions.
2731 [Steve Henson]
2732
2733 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
2734 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
2735 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
2736 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
2737 [Steve Henson]
2738
2739 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
2740 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
2741 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
2742 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
2743 [Ben Laurie]
2744
2745 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
2746 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
2747 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
2748 so it wasn't spotted.
2749 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
2750
2751 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
2752 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
2753 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
2754 vectors if you have them.
2755 [Ben Laurie]
2756
2757 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
2758 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
2759 [Ben Laurie]
2760
2761 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
2762 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
2763 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
2764 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
2765 If you do a:
2766 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
2767 it will update them.
2768 [Steve Henson]
2769
2770 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
2771 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
2772 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
2773 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
2774 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
2775 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
2776 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
2777 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2778
2779 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
2780 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
2781 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
2782 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
2783 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
2784 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
2785 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
2786 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
2787 the crypto/md/ stuff).
2788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2789
2790 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
2791 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
2792 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
2793 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
2794 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
2795 [Steve Henson]
2796
2797 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
2798 INTEGER code.
2799 [Steve Henson]
2800
2801 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
2802 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2803
2804 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
2805 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
2806
2807 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
2808 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
2809 [Ben Laurie]
2810
2811 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
2812 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
2813
2814 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
2815 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
2816
2817 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
2818 [Steve Henson]
2819
2820 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
2821 few typos.
2822 [Steve Henson]
2823
2824 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
2825 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
2826 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
2827 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
2828
2829 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2830 [Steve Henson]
2831
2832 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
2833 [Steve Henson]
2834
2835 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
2836 [Steve Henson]
2837
2838 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
2839 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
2840 [Steve Henson]
2841
2842 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
2843 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
2844 CA extensions.
2845 [Steve Henson]
2846
2847 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
2848 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
2849 [Steve Henson]
2850
2851 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
2852 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
2853 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
2854 [Steve Henson]
2855
2856 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
2857 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
2858 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
2859 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
2860 properly to be processed.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
2864 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
2865 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
2866 [Ben Laurie]
2867
2868 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
2869 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
2870
2871 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
2872 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
2873 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
2874 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
2875 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
2876 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
2877 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
2878 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
2879 or delete all the .err files.
2880 [Steve Henson]
2881
2882 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
2883 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
2884 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
2885 to regenerate it if needed.
2886 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
2887 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
2888
2889 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
2890 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2891
2892 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
2893 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
2894 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
2895 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
2896 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
2897 [Steve Henson]
2898
2899 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
2900 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
2901
2902 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
2903 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2904
2905 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
2906 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
2907 error, but didn't set one).
2908 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2909
2910 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
2911 [Ben Laurie]
2912
2913 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
2914 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
2915 [Steve Henson]
2916
2917 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
2918 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
2919
2920 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
2921 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
2922 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
2923 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
2924 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
2925 OID is not part of the table.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
2929 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
2930 [Ben Laurie]
2931
2932 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
2933 [Ben Laurie]
2934
2935 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
2936 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
2937 was "1234").
2938 [Steve Henson]
2939
2940 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
2941 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
2942
2943 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
2944 NULL pointers.
2945 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2946
2947 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
2948 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2949
2950 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
2951 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
2952
2953 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
2954 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
2955
2956 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
2957 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
2958 [Ben Laurie]
2959
2960 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
2961 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
2965 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2966
2967 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
2968 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2969
2970 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
2971 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2972
2973 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
2974 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2975
2976 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
2977 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
2978 unused in the certificate verification process.
2979 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2980
2981 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
2982 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
2986 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
2987 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
2988
2989 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
2990 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
2991 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
2992 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
2993 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
2994
2995 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
2996 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
2997 [Steve Henson]
2998
2999 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
3000 [Steve Henson]
3001
3002 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
3003 [Paul Sutton]
3004
3005 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
3006 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
3007
3008 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
3009 [Ben Laurie]
3010
3011 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
3012 [Ben Laurie]
3013
3014 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
3015 [Ben Laurie]
3016
3017 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
3018 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
3019 other error libraries.
3020 [Steve Henson]
3021
3022 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
3023 [Steve Henson]
3024
3025 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
3026 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
3027 be read in.
3028 [Steve Henson]
3029
3030 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
3031 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
3032 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
3033 the new set of documenation files.
3034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3035
3036 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
3037 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
3038 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
3039 number of arguments.
3040 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
3041
3042 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
3043 [Ben Laurie]
3044
3045 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
3046 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
3047 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3048
3049 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
3050 [Ben Laurie]
3051
3052 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
3053 nextstep
3054 ncr-scde
3055 unixware-2.0
3056 unixware-2.0-pentium
3057 sco5-cc.
3058 [Ben Laurie]
3059
3060 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
3061 before they are needed.
3062 [Ben Laurie]
3063
3064 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
3065 [Ben Laurie]
3066
3067
3068 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
3069
3070 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
3071 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
3072 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3073
3074 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
3075 [Paul Sutton]
3076
3077 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
3078 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
3079 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3080
3081 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
3082 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
3083 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
3084
3085 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
3086 when "ssleay" is still not found.
3087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3088
3089 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
3090 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
3091
3092 *) Updated the README file.
3093 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3094
3095 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
3096 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
3097 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3098
3099 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
3100 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
3101 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3102
3103 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
3104 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
3105 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
3106 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
3107 o removed obsolete TODO file
3108 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
3109 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3110
3111 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
3112 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
3113 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
3114 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
3115 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
3116 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
3117 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3118
3119 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
3120 [Mark J. Cox]
3121
3122 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
3123 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
3124 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
3125 summer 1998.
3126 [The OpenSSL Project]
3127
3128
3129 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

3138 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
3139 [Eric A. Young]
3140
3141 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
3142 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
3143 available).
3144 [Eric A. Young]
3145
3146 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
3147 binary structures
3148 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
3149
3150 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
3151 [Eric A. Young]
3152
3153 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
3154 [Eric A. Young]
3155
3156 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
3157 [Eric A. Young]
3158
3159 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
3160 [Eric A. Young]
3161
3162 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
3163 [Eric A. Young]
3164
3165 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
3166 [Eric A. Young]
3167
3168 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
3169 [Eric A. Young]
3170
3171 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.

3173
3174 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
3175 [Eric A. Young]
3176
3177 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
3178 [Eric A. Young]
3179
3180 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
3181 [Eric A. Young]
3182
3183 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
3184 [Eric A. Young]
3185
3186 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
3187 [Eric A. Young]
3188
3189 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
3190 [Eric A. Young]
3191
3192 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
3193 [Eric A. Young]
3194
3195 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
3196 [Eric A. Young]
3197
3198 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
3199 [Eric A. Young]
3200
3201 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
3202 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
3203 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3204 [Eric A. Young]
3205
3206 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
3207 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
3208 [Eric A. Young]
3209
3210 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
3211 [Eric A. Young]
3212
3213 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
3214 [Eric A. Young]
3215
3216 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
3217 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.

3224 [Eric A. Young]
3225
3226 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
3227 bytes sent in the client random.
