4
5 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
8 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
9 [Richard Levitte]
10
11 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
12 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
13 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
14 [Steve Henson]
15
16 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
17 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
18 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
19 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
20
21 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_PARTSIGN. When this flag is set
22 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
23 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
24 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
25 [Steve Henson]
26
27 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
28 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
29 to do it.
30 [Richard Levitte]
31
32 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
33 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
34 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
35 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
36 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
37 scalar * generator).
38 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
39
40 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
41 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
42 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
43 correctly.
44 [Steve Henson]
45
46 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
47 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
48 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
49 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
50 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
51 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
52 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
53 linker additions, eg;
54 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
55 [Geoff Thorpe]
56
57 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
58 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
59 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
60 [Geoff Thorpe]
61
62 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
63 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
64 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
65 via PR#459)
66 [Lutz Jaenicke]
67
68 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
69 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
70 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
71 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
72 [Geoff Thorpe]
73
74 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
75 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
76 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
77 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
78 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
79 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
80 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
81 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
82 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
83 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
84
85 Example for using the new callback interface:
86
87 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
88 void *my_arg = ...;
89 BN_GENCB my_cb;
90
91 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
92
93 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
94 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
95 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
96 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
97 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
98 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
99 */
100
101 [Geoff Thorpe]
102
103 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
104 available to TLS with the number defined in
105 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
106 [Richard Levitte]
107
108 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
109 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
110
111 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
112 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
113 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
114 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
115
116 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
117 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
118
119 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
120 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
121 well.
122 [Richard Levitte]
123
124 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
125 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
126 [Richard Levitte]
127
128 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
129 functions
130
131 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
132 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
133
134 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
135 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
136
137 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
138 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
139 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
140 if applicable.
141 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
142
143 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
144 [Bodo Moeller]
145
146 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
147 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
148 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
149 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
150 directory engines/.
151 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
152 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
153 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
154 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
155 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
156 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
157 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
158 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
159
160 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
161 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
162 [Richard Levitte]
163
164 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
165 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
166
167 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
168 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
169 files while avoiding the low level API.
170
171 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
172 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
173 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
174 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
175
176 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
177 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
178 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
179 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
180 instead of the low level API.
181 [Steve Henson]
182
183 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
184 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
185 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
186 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
187 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
188 PKCS#7 code.
189
190 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
191 down to the template encoder.
192 [Steve Henson]
193
194 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
195 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
196 [Bodo Moeller]
197
198 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
199 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
200 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
201 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
202
203 *) Add ECDH engine support.
204 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
205
206 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
207 TODO: more general interface (return x coordinate, not its hash)
208 TODO: bug: pad x with leading zeros if necessary
209 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
210
211 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
212 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
213 [Bodo Moeller]
214
215 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
216 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
217 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
218 [Bodo Moeller]
219
220 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
221 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
222
223 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
224 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
225
226 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
227 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
228 New EC_METHOD:
229
230 EC_GF2m_simple_method
231
232 New API functions:
233
234 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
235 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
236 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
237 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
238 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
239 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
240
241 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
242 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
243 enable it).
244
245 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
246 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
247 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
248 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
249 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
250 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
251 various internal method names.)
252
253 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
254 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
255
256 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
257 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
258
259 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
260 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
261
262 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
263 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
264 methods are undefined.
265
266 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
267 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
268
269 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
270 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
271 length of the modulus.
272
273 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
274 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
275
276 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
277 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
278
279 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
280 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
281
282 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
283 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
284 used) in the following functions [macros]:
285
286 BN_GF2m_add
287 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
288 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
289 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
290 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
291 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
292 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
293 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
294 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
295 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
296
297 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
298 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
299
300 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
301 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
302 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
303 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
304 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
305 where
306 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
307 This applies to the following functions:
308
309 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
310 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
311 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
312 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
313 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
314 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
315 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
316 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
317 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
318 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
319
320 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
321
322 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
323 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
324
325 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
326
327 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
328 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
329 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
330 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
331 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
332
333 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
334 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
335
336 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
337 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
338 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
339
340 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
341 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
342
343 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
344 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
345 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
346 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
347 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
348
349 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
350 functions
351 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
352 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
353 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
354 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
355 These control ASN1 encoding details:
356 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
357 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
358 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
359 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
360 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
361 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
362 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
363
364 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
365 functions
366 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
367 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
368 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
369 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
370 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
371
372 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
373 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
374 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
375 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
376
377 *) Add functions
378 EC_POINT_point2bn()
379 EC_POINT_bn2point()
380 EC_POINT_point2hex()
381 EC_POINT_hex2point()
382 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
383 EC_POINT_oct2point().
384 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
385
386 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
387 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
388 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
389 EC_GROUP_get_order()
390 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
391 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
392 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
393 adding different types of curves.
394 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
395
396 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
397 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
398 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
399 [Bodo Moeller]
400
401 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
402 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
403
404 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
405 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
406 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
407 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
408
409 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
410
411 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
412 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
413
414 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
415 library. Most notably,
416 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
417 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
418 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
419 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
420 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
421 extracted before the specific public key;
422 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
423 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
424
425 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
426 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
427 function
428 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
429 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
430 EC_get_builtin_curves().
431 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
432 accessed via
433 EC_GROUP_set_nid()
434 EC_GROUP_get_nid()
435 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
436
437 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
438 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
439 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
440 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
441 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
442 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
443 differing sizes.
444 [Richard Levitte]
445
446 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [xx XXX 2003]
447
448 *)
449
450 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
451
452 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
453 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
454 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
455 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
456 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
457
458 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
459 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
460 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
461
462 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
463 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
464 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
465 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
466 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
467
468 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
469 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
470 used by default when no-err is given.
471 [Richard Levitte]
472
473 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
474 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
475
476 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
477 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
478 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
479 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
480 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
481
482 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
483 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
484 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
485 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
486
487 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
488
489 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
490
491 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
492
493 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
494 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
495 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
496 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
497 root is omitted).
498 [Steve Henson]
499
500 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
501 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
502
503 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
504 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
505 [Steve Henson]
506
507 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
508 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
509 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
510 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
511 [Lutz Jaenicke]
512
513 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
514 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
515 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
516 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
517 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
518 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
519 followup to PR #377.
520 [Lutz Jaenicke]
521
522 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
523 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
524 [Andy Polyakov]
525
526 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
527 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
528 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
529 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
530
531 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
532
533 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
534 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
535 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
536 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
537 client and server.
538 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
539 PR #377.
540 [Lutz Jaenicke]
541
542 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
543 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
544 removed entirely.
545 [Richard Levitte]
546
547 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
548 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
549 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
550 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
551 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
552 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
553 of libcrypto.
554 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
555 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
556 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
557 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
558 have to be made anyway).
559 [Richard Levitte]
560
561 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
562 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
563 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
564 [Steve Henson]
565
566 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
567 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
568 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
569 [Richard Levitte]
570
571 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
572 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
573 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
574
575 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
576 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
577 edit numbers of the version.
578 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
579
580 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
581 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
582 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
583
584 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
585 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
586
587 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
588 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
589 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
590
591 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
592 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
593
594 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
595 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
596
597 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
598 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
599
600 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
601 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
602
603 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
604 overflows.
605 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
606
607 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
608 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
609 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
610
611 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
612 representations in a platform independent manner.
613 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
614
615 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
616 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
617 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
618
619 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
620 indents.
621 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
622
623 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
624 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
625
626 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
627 full. Fixed.
628 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
629
630 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
631 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
633
634 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
635 unconditionally).
636 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
637
638 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
640
641 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
642 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
643
644 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
645 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
646
647 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
648 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
649
650 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
651 CBCParameter.
652 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
653
654 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
655 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
656
657 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
658 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
659
660 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
661 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
662 exploitable.
663 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
664
665 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
666 the 0.9.6 release series:
667
668 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
669 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
670 (CAN-2002-0657)
671 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
672
673 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
674 [Richard Levitte]
675
676 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
677 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
678
679 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
680 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
681
682 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
683 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
684 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
685 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
686
687 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
688 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
689 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
690
691 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
692 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
693 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
694 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
695
696 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
697 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
698 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
699 some local tweaks:
700
701 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
702 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
703 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
704 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
705 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
706 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
707 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
708 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
709 done
710
711 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
712 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
713 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
714 [Richard Levitte]
715
716 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
717 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
718 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
719 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
720 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
721
722 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
723 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
724
725 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
726 error in AES-CFB decryption.
727 [Richard Levitte]
728
729 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
730 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
731 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
732 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
733 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
734 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
735 [Steve Henson]
736
737 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
738 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
739 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
740 [Steve Henson]
741
742 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
743 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
744 [Lutz Jaenicke]
745
746 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
747 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
748 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
749 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
750 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
751 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
752 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
753 [Lutz Jaenicke]
754
755 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
756 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
757 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
758 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
759 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
760 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
761 [Steve Henson]
762
763 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
764 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
765 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
766 declaration has been changed from
767 int (*cb)()
768 into
769 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
770 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
771 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
772 has been changed into
773 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
774
775 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
776 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
777 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
778
779 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
780 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
781
782 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
783 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
784 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
785 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
786 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
787 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
788 always load it have also been added.
789 [Steve Henson]
790
791 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
792 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
793 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
794
795 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
796
797 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
798 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
799 because it couldn't be used for anything.
800
801 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
802 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
803 command line option can be used to specify an
804 alternative file.
805 [Steve Henson]
806
807 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
808 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
809 [Steve Henson]
810
811 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
812 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
813 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
814 [Steve Henson]
815
816 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
817 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
818 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
819 to work with the new engine framework.
820 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
821
822 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
823 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
824 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
825 to work with the new engine framework.
826 [Richard Levitte]
827
828 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
829 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
830 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
831
832 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
833 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
834
835 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
836 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
837 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
838 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
839 FORMAT_IISSGC.
840 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
841
842 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
843 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
844
845 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
846 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
847
848 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
849 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
850 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
851 [Ben Laurie]
852
853 *) Add new functions
854 ERR_peek_last_error
855 ERR_peek_last_error_line
856 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
857 These are similar to
858 ERR_peek_error
859 ERR_peek_error_line
860 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
861 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
862 still in the error queue.
863 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
864
865 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
866 like:
867 default_algorithms = ALL
868 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
869 [Steve Henson]
870
871 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
872 [Steve Henson]
873
874 *) New experimental application configuration code.
875 [Steve Henson]
876
877 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
878 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
879 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
880 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
881
882 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
883 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
884
885 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
886 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
887
888 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
889 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
890 [Bodo Moeller]
891
892 *) New functions/macros
893
894 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
895 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
896 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
897 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
898
899 to request calling a callback function
900
901 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
902 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
903
904 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
905 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
906 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
907 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
908 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
909 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
910 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
911 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
912 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
913 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
914
915 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
916 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
917 [Bodo Moeller]
918
919 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
920 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
921 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
922 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
923 the configuration scripts.
924
925 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
926 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
927 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
928
929 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
930 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
931
932 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
933 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
934 when reusing an existing buffer.
935 [Bodo Moeller]
936
937 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
938 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
939 [Steve Henson]
940
941 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
942 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
943 [Ben Laurie]
944
945 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
946 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
947 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
948 has the same effect.
949 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
950
951 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
952 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
953 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
954 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
955 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
956 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
957 exception.
958
959 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
960 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
961 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
962 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
963
964 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
965 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
966 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
967 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
968
969 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
970 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
971 won't work.
972
973 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
974 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
975 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
976 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
977 default), and then completely removed.
978 [Richard Levitte]
979
980 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
981 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
982 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
983 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
984 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
985 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
986 particular extension is supported.
987 [Steve Henson]
988
989 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
990 to retain compatibility with existing code.
991 [Steve Henson]
992
993 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
994 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
995 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
996 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
997 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
998 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
999 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1000 requires the destination to be valid.
1001
1002 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1003 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1004 [Steve Henson]
1005
1006 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1007 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1008 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1009 [Bodo Moeller]
1010
1011 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1012 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1013
1014 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1015 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1016 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1017 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1018 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1019 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1020 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1021 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1022 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1023 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1024 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1025 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1026 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1027 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1028 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1029 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1030 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1031 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1032 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1033 the new code.
1034 [Geoff Thorpe]
1035
1036 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1037 [Steve Henson]
1038
1039 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1040 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1041 become part of libeay.num as well.
1042 [Richard Levitte]
1043
1044 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1045 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1046 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1047 false once a handshake has been completed.
1048 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1049 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1050 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1051 client has followed the request.)
1052 [Bodo Moeller]
1053
1054 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1055 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1056 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1057 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1058
1059 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1060 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1061 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1062 [Bodo Moeller]
1063
1064 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1065 [Steve Henson]
1066
1067 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1068 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1069 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1070 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1071
1072 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1073 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1074 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1075
1076 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1077 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1078 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1079 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1080 [Geoff Thorpe]
1081
1082 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1083 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1084 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1085 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1086 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1087 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1088 [Geoff Thorpe]
1089
1090 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1091 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1092 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1093 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1094 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1095 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1096 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1097 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1098 [Geoff Thorpe]
1099
1100 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1101 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1102 [Geoff Thorpe]
1103
1104 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1105 [Ben Laurie]
1106
1107 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1108 md_data void pointer.
1109 [Ben Laurie]
1110
1111 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1112 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1113 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1114 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1115 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1116 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1117 [Ben Laurie]
1118
1119 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1120 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1121 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1122 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1123 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1124 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1125 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1126 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1127 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1128 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1129 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1130 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1131 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1132 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1133 rather than letting it slide.
1134
1135 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1136 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1137 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1138 [Geoff Thorpe]
1139
1140 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1141 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1142 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1143 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1144 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1145 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1146 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1147 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1148 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1149 [Geoff Thorpe]
1150
1151 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1152 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1153 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1154 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1155 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1156
1157 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1158 [Geoff Thorpe]
1159
1160 *) Add EVP test program.
1161 [Ben Laurie]
1162
1163 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1164 [Ben Laurie]
1165
1166 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1167 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1168 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1169 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1170 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1171 [Steve Henson]
1172
1173 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1174 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1175 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1176 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1177 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1178 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1179 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1180
1181 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1182 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1183 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1184 Usage example:
1185
1186 EVP_MD_CTX md;
1187
1188 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1189 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1190 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1191 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1192 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1193
1194 [Ben Laurie]
1195
1196 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1197 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1198 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1199 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1200 anyway): E.g.,
1201
1202 des_key_schedule ks;
1203
1204 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1205 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1206
1207 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1208 [Ben Laurie]
1209
1210 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1211 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1212 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1213 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1214 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1215 functions prevents this.
1216 [Steve Henson]
1217
1218 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1219 [Ben Laurie]
1220
1221 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1222 correct _ecb suffix.
1223 [Ben Laurie]
1224
1225 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1226 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1227 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1228 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1229 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1230 [Steve Henson]
1231
1232 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1233 [Richard Levitte]
1234
1235 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1236 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1237 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1238 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1239
1240 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1241 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1242
1243 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1244 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1245 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1246 via Richard Levitte]
1247
1248 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1249 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1250 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1251 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1252 [Geoff Thorpe]
1253
1254 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1255 Before:
1256 encrypt
1257 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1258 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
1259 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
1260 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
1261 decrypt
1262 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k
1263 des-cbc 3480.74k 5068.76k 5510.34k 5609.87k 5635.52k
1264 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
1265 After:
1266 encrypt
1267 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
1268 decrypt
1269 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
1270 [Ben Laurie]
1271
1272 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1273 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1274
1275 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1276 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1277 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1278 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1279 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1280 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1281 [Steve Henson]
1282
1283 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1284 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1285 [Richard Levitte]
1286
1287 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1288 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1289 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1290 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1293 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1294 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1295 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1296 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1297 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1298 callback.
1299 [Richard Levitte]
1300
1301 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1302 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1303 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1304 and interrupts/cancellations.
1305 [Richard Levitte]
1306
1307 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1308 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1309 [Steve Henson]
1310
1311 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1312 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1313 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1314
1315 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1316 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1317 kind of callback.
1318 [Richard Levitte]
1319
1320 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1321 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1322 than this minimum value is recommended.
1323 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1324
1325 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1326 that are easily reachable.
1327 [Richard Levitte]
1328
1329 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1330 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1331
1332 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1333
1334 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1335 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1336 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1337 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1338 [Steve Henson]
1339
1340 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1341 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1342 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1343 [Steve Henson]
1344
1345 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1346 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1347 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1348 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1349 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1350 internally such as S/MIME.
1351
1352 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1353 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1354 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1355
1356 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1357 applications.
1358 [Steve Henson]
1359
1360 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1361 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1362 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1363 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1364
1365 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1366
1367 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1368
1369 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1370 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1371 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1372 handling.
1373 [Steve Henson]
1374
1375 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1376 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1377 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1378 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1379 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1380 a window system and the like.
1381 [Richard Levitte]
1382
1383 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1384 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1385 [Geoff]
1386
1387 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1388 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1389 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1390 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1391 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1392 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1393 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1394 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1395 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1396 ENGINE structure.
1397 [Geoff]
1398
1399 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1400 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1401 tag cache.
1402 [Steve Henson]
1403
1404 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1405 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1406 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1407 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1408 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1409 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1410 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1411 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1412 [Geoff]
1413
1414 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1415 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1416 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1417 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1418 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1419 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1420 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1421 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1422 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1423 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1424 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1425 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1426 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1427 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1428 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1429 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1430 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1431 [Geoff]
1432
1433 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1434 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1435 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1436 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1437 internal engine_int.h header.
1438 [Geoff]
1439
1440 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1441 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1442 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1443 modify their own ones).
1444 [Geoff]
1445
1446 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1447 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1448 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1449 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1450 later on via ctrl() commands.
1451 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1452 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1453 structural references.
1454 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1455 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1456 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1457 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1458 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1459 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1460 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1461 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1462 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1463 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1464 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1465 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1466 [Geoff]
1467
1468 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1469 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1470 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1471 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1472 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1473 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1474 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1475 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1476 [Bodo Moeller]
1477
1478 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1479 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1480 [Steve Henson]
1481
1482 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1483 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1484 [Steve Henson]
1485
1486 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1487 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1488 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1489 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1490 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1491 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1492 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1493 [Steve Henson]
1494
1495 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1496 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1497 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1498 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1499 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1500
1501 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1502 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1503 generator).
1504 [Bodo Moeller]
1505
1506 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1507
1508 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1509 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1510 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1511
1512 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1513 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1514
1515 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1516 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1517 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1518
1519 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1520 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1521
1522 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1523 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1524
1525 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1526
1527 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1528 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1529 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1530 [Bodo Moeller]
1531
1532 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1533 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1534 [Richard Levitte]
1535
1536 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1537 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1538 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1539 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1540 is 40 of more characters long.
1541 [Steve Henson]
1542
1543 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1544 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1545 pointers.
1546 [Steve Henson]
1547
1548 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1549 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1550 [Bodo Moeller]
1551
1552 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1553 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1554 might.
1555 [Steve Henson]
1556
1557 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1558
1559 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1560 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1561
1562 ASN1 error codes
1563 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1564 ...
1565 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1566 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1567 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1568 ...
1569 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1570 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1571
1572 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1573 [Bodo Moeller]
1574
1575 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1576 suffices.
1577 [Bodo Moeller]
1578
1579 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1580 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1581 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1582 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1583 and
1584 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1585
1586 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1587 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1588
1589 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1590 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1591 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1592 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1593 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1594 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1595
1596 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1597 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1598
1599 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1600 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1601
1602 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1603 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1604
1605 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1606 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1607 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1608 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1609
1610 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1611 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1612
1613 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1614 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1615
1616 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1617 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1618 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1619 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1620 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1621 [Richard Levitte]
1622
1623 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1624 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1625 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1626 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1627 [Steve Henson]
1628
1629 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1630 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1631 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1632 trust settings.
1633 [Steve Henson]
1634
1635 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1636 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1637 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1638 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1639 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1640 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1641 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1642 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1643 ocsp utility.
1644 [Steve Henson]
1645
1646 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1647 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1648 [Steve Henson]
1649
1650 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1651 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1652 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1653 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1654 [Steve Henson]
1655
1656 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1657 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1658 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1659 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1660 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1661 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1662 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1663 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1664 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1665 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1666 [Steve Henson]
1667
1668 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1669 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1670 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1671 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1672 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1673 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1674 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1675 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1676
1677 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1678 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1679 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1680 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1681 [Richard Levitte]
1682
1683 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1684 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1685 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1686 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1687 opensslconf.h.
1688 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1689 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1690 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1691 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1692 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1693 what is available.
1694 [Richard Levitte]
1695
1696 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1697 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1698 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1699 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1700 auto incremented.
1701 [Steve Henson]
1702
1703 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1704 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1705 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1706 [Steve Henson]
1707
1708 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1709 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1710 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1711 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1712 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1713 [Steve Henson]
1714
1715 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1716 [Steve Henson]
1717
1718 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1719 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1720 option to ocsp utility.
1721 [Steve Henson]
1722
1723 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1724 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1725 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1726 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1727 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1728 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1729 the request is nonce-less.
1730 [Steve Henson]
1731
1732 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1733 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1734 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1735 [Bodo Moeller]
1736
1737 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1738 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1739 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1740 [Steve Henson]
1741
1742 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1743 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1744 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1745 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1746 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1747 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1748
1749 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1750 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1751 appear to exist.
1752 [Steve Henson]
1753
1754 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1755 additional certificates supplied.
1756 [Steve Henson]
1757
1758 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1759 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1760 signature against.
1761 [Richard Levitte]
1762
1763 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1764 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1765 AES OIDs.
1766
1767 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1768 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1769 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1770 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1771 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1772 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1773 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1774 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1775 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1776
1777 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1778 request to response.
1779 [Steve Henson]
1780
1781 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1782 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1783 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1784 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1785 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1786 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1787 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1788 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1789 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1790 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1791 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1792 [Steve Henson]
1793
1794 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1795 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1796 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1797 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1798 [Steve Henson]
1799
1800 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1801 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1802
1803 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1804 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1805 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1806 [Steve Henson]
1807
1808 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1809 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1810 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1811 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1812 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1813
1814 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1815 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1816 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1817 [Steve Henson]
1818
1819 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1820 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1821 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1822 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1823 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1824 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1825 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1826 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1827
1828 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1829 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1830 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1831 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1832 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1833 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1834 [Steve Henson]
1835
1836 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1837 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1838 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1839 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1840 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1841 printout format cleaned up.
1842 [Steve Henson]
1843
1844 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1845 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1846 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1847 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1848 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1849 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1850 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1851 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1852 [Steve Henson]
1853
1854 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1855 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1856 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1857 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1858 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1859 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1860 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1861 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1862 [Steve Henson]
1863
1864 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1865 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1866 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1867 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1868 section to use.
1869 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1870
1871 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1872 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1873 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1874 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1875 [Steve Henson]
1876
1877 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1878 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1879 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1880 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1881 in the index file.
1882 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1883
1884 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1885 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1886 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1887 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1888
1889 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1890 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1891
1892 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1893 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1894 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1895 [Steve Henson]
1896
1897 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1898 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1899 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1900 [Bodo Moeller]
1901
1902 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1903 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1904 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1905 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1906 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1907 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1908 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1909 functions are provided:
1910
1911 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1912 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1913 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1914 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1915
1916 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1917 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1918 extended allocation function is enabled.
1919 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1920 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1921 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1922
1923 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1924 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1925 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1926 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1927 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1928 [Geoff Thorpe]
1929
1930 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1931 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1932 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1933 be queried.
1934 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1935 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1936 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1937 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1938
1939 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1940 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1941 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1942 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1943 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1944 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1945 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1946 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1947 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1948 [Richard Levitte]
1949
1950 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1951 provide utility functions which an application needing
1952 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1953 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1954 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1955
1956 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1957 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1958 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1959 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1960 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1961 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1962 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1963 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1964 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1965
1966 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1967 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1968 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1969 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1970 [Steve Henson]
1971
1972 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1973 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1974 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1975 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1976 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1977 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1978 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1979 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1980 will be added elsewhere.
1981 [Steve Henson]
1982
1983 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1984 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1985 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1986 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1987 [Steve Henson]
1988
1989 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1990 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1991 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1992 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1993 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1994 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1995 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1996 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1997 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1998 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1999 to produce the required SET OF.
2000 [Steve Henson]
2001
2002 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2003 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2004 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2005 [Richard Levitte]
2006
2007 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2008 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2009 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2010 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2011 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2012 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2013 [Steve Henson]
2014
2015 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2016 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2017 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2021 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2022 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2023 [Richard Levitte]
2024
2025 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2026 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2027 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2028 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2029 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2030 [Steve Henson]
2031
2032 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2033 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2034 [Steve Henson]
2035
2036 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2037 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2038 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2039 certifcates and CRLs.
2040 [Steve Henson]
2041
2042 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2043 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2044 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2045 [Steve Henson]
2046
2047 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2048 entries for variables.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2052 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2053 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2054 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2055 [Bodo Moeller]
2056
2057 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2058 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2059 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2060 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2061 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2062 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2063 [Bodo Moeller]
2064
2065 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2066 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2067
2068 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2069 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2070 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2071 [Steve Henson]
2072
2073 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2074 print routines.
2075 [Steve Henson]
2076
2077 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2078 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2079 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2080 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2081 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2082 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2083 [Steve Henson]
2084
2085 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2089 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2090 for now but they will eventually go away.
2091 [Steve Henson]
2092
2093 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2094 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2095 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2096 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2097 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2098 has also been converted to the new form.
2099 [Steve Henson]
2100
2101 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2102 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2103 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2104 for negative moduli.
2105 [Bodo Moeller]
2106
2107 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2108 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2109 [Bodo Moeller]
2110
2111 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2112 set.
2113 [Bodo Moeller]
2114
2115 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2116 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2117 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2118 type-specific callbacks.
2119 [Geoff Thorpe]
2120
2121 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2122 RFC 2712.
2123 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2124 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2125
2126 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2127 in sections depending on the subject.
2128 [Richard Levitte]
2129
2130 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2131 Windows.
2132 [Richard Levitte]
2133
2134 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2135 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2136 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2137 be handled deterministically).
2138 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2139
2140 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2141 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2142 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2143 [Bodo Moeller]
2144
2145 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2146 [Bodo Moeller]
2147
2148 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2149 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2150 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2151 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2152 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2153 [Bodo Moeller]
2154
2155 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2156 sign of the number in question.
2157
2158 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2159
2160 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2161 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2162 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2163 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2164 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2165 [Bodo Moeller]
2166
2167 *) New function BN_swap.
2168 [Bodo Moeller]
2169
2170 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2171 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2172 results on negative inputs.
2173 [Bodo Moeller]
2174
2175 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2176 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2177 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2178 [Bodo Moeller]
2179
2180 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2181 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2182 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2183 and add new functions:
2184
2185 BN_nnmod
2186 BN_mod_sqr
2187 BN_mod_add
2188 BN_mod_add_quick
2189 BN_mod_sub
2190 BN_mod_sub_quick
2191 BN_mod_lshift1
2192 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2193 BN_mod_lshift
2194 BN_mod_lshift_quick
2195
2196 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2197
2198 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2199 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2200
2201 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2202 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2203 be reduced modulo m.
2204 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2205
2206 #if 0
2207 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2208 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2209 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2210
2211 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2212 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2213 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2214 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2215 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2216 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2217 differing sizes.
2218 [Richard Levitte]
2219 #endif
2220
2221 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2222 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2223 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2224 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2225 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2226
2227 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2228 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2229 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2230 cause any problems.
2231 [Bodo Moeller]
2232
2233 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2234 [Richard Levitte]
2235
2236 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2237 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2238 [Richard Levitte]
2239
2240 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2241 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2242 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2243 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2244 time)
2245 [Richard Levitte]
2246
2247 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2248 [Richard Levitte]
2249
2250 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2251 [Richard Levitte]
2252
2253 *) Add the following functions:
2254
2255 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2256 ENGINE_load_chil()
2257 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2258 ENGINE_load_nuron()
2259 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2260
2261 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2262 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2263 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2264 libraries unless it's really needed.
2265
2266 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2267 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2268 declarations (they differed!).
2269 [Richard Levitte]
2270
2271 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2272 [Richard Levitte]
2273
2274 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2275 [Richard Levitte]
2276
2277 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2278 [Bodo Moeller]
2279
2280 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2281 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2282 [Richard Levitte]
2283
2284 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2285 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2286 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2287
2288 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2289 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2290 [Richard Levitte]
2291
2292 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2293 [Richard Levitte]
2294
2295 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2296 [Richard Levitte]
2297
2298 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2299 [Ben Laurie]
2300
2301 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2302 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2303 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2304
2305 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2306 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2307 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2308 different shared library filenames on each system.
2309 [Geoff Thorpe]
2310
2311 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2312 [Richard Levitte]
2313
2314 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2315 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2316 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2317 of two sections.
2318 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2319
2320 *) NCONF changes.
2321 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2322 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2323 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2324 binary backward compatibility.
2325 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2326 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2327 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2328 LDAP server.
2329 [Richard Levitte]
2330
2331 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2332 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2333 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2334 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2335 this case.
2336 [Steve Henson]
2337
2338 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2339 [Ben Laurie]
2340
2341 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2342 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2343 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2344 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2345 set.
2346 [Steve Henson]
2347
2348 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2349 [Richard Levitte]
2350
2351 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2352
2353 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2354 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2355 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2356 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2357 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2358
2359 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2360 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2361 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2362
2363 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2364
2365 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2366 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2367 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2368 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2369 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2370 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2371 [Geoff Thorpe]
2372
2373 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2374 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2375 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2376 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2377 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2378 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2379
2380 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2381 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2382 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2383
2384 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2385 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2386 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2387 EVP_cleanup().
2388 [Richard Levitte]
2389
2390 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2391 being properly terminated.
2392 [Richard Levitte]
2393
2394 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2395 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2396 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2397 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2398
2399 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2400 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2401 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2402 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2403 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2404 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2405 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2406 change.
2407 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2408
2409 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2410 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2411 [Bodo Moeller]
2412
2413 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2414 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2415 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2416 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2417 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2418 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2419 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2420 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2421
2422 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2423 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2424 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2425 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2426 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2427
2428 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2429 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2430 [Steve Henson]
2431
2432 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2433
2434 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2435 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2436 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2437
2438 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2439
2440 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2441 and get fix the header length calculation.
2442 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2443 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2444 Steve Henson]
2445
2446 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2447 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2448 assertions could call abort()).
2449 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2450
2451 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2452
2453 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2454 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2455 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2456 supplied buffer.
2457 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2458
2459 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2460 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2461 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2462 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2463
2464 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2465 [Nils Larsch]
2466
2467 *) New option
2468 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2469 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2470 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2471
2472 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2473 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2474 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2475 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2476 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2477 applications.
2478 [Bodo Moeller]
2479
2480 *) Changes in security patch:
2481
2482 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2483 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2484 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2485 F30602-01-2-0537.
2486
2487 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2488 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2489 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2490 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2491 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2492
2493 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2494 happen in practice.
2495 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2496
2497 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2498 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2499 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2500
2501 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2502 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2504
2505 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2506 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2507 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2508
2509 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2510
2511 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2512 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2513 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2514
2515 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2516 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2517
2518 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2519 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2520 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2521 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2522 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2523 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2524 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2525
2526 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2527 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2528 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2529 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2530 [Bodo Moeller]
2531
2532 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2533 [Bodo Moeller]
2534
2535 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2536 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2537 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2538 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2539 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2540 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2541
2542 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2543 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2544 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2545 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2546 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2547 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2548
2549 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2550 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2551 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2552 BN_generate_prime().)
2553
2554 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2555 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2556 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2557 better.
2558 [Bodo Moeller]
2559
2560 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2561 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2562 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2563
2564 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2565 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2566 when using non-blocking I/O.
2567 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2568
2569 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2570 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2571
2572 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2573 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2574 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2575
2576 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2577 configuration for the versions before that.
2578 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2579
2580 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2581 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2582 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2583 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2584 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2585
2586 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2587 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2588 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2589 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2590
2591 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2592 value is 0.
2593 [Richard Levitte]
2594
2595 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2596 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2597 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2598
2599 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2600 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2601
2602 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2603 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2604 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2605 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2606 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2607 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2608 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2609 session cache.
2610
2611 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2612 using a local variable.
2613 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2614
2615 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2616 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2617 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2618
2619 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2620 [Richard Levitte]
2621
2622 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2623 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2624
2625 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2626 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2627 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2628
2629 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2630
2631 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2632 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2633 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2634 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2635 [Bodo Moeller]
2636
2637 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2638 present.
2639 [Steve Henson]
2640
2641 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2642 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2643 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2644 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2645 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2646
2647 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2648 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2649 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2650
2651 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2652 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2653 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2654
2655 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2656 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2657 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2658 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2659
2660 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2661 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2662 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2663 modules).
2664 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2665
2666 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2667 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2668 from 0.9.7.
2669 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2670
2671 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2672 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2673 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2674 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2675
2676 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2677 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2678 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2679 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2680
2681 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2682 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2683
2684 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2685 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2686 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2687 [Bodo Moeller]
2688
2689 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2690 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2691 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2692 become invalid.
2693 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2694
2695 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2696 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2697 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2698 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2699 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2700 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2701 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2702 [Bodo Moeller]
2703
2704 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2705 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2706 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2707 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2708
2709 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2710 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2711 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2712 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2713 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2714 the client will at least see that alert.
2715 [Bodo Moeller]
2716
2717 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2718 correctly.
2719 [Bodo Moeller]
2720
2721 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2722 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2723 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2724
2725 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2726 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2727 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2728 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2729 HelloRequest.
2730
2731 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2732 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2733 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2734
2735 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2736 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2737 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2738 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2739 may leak via logfiles.)
2740
2741 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2742 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2743 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2744 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2745 the legal range.
2746 [Bodo Moeller]
2747
2748 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2749 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2750 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2751
2752 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2753 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2754 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2755 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2756 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2757 [Bodo Moeller]
2758
2759 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2760 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2761
2762 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2763 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2764 followed by modular reduction.
2765 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2766
2767 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2768 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2769 [Bodo Moeller]
2770
2771 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2772 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2773 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2774 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2775 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2776
2777 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2778 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2779
2780 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2781 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2782 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2783
2784 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2785 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2786 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2787 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2788 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2789 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2790 automatically.
2791 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2792
2793 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2794 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2795 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2796 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2797 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2798
2799 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2800 [Andy Polyakov]
2801
2802 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2803 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2804 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2805 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2806 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2807 to allow the necessary settings.
2808 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2809
2810 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2811 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2812 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2813 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2814 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2815
2816 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2817 dh->length and always used
2818
2819 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2820
2821 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2822 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2823 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2824 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2825 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2826 dh->length.
2827
2828 So switch back to
2829
2830 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2831
2832 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2833 otherwise.
2834 [Bodo Moeller]
2835
2836 *) In
2837
2838 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2839 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2840 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2841 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2842
2843 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2844 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2845 always reject numbers >= n.
2846 [Bodo Moeller]
2847
2848 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2849 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2850 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2851 variable) is not atomic.
2852 [Bodo Moeller]
2853
2854 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2855 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2856 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2857 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2858
2859 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2860 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2861
2862 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2863 little-endian MIPS.
2864 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2865
2866 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2867 [Richard Levitte]
2868
2869 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2870
2871 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2872 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2873 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2874 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2875 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2876 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2877 to traverse all of 'state'.
2878
2879 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2880 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2881 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2882
2883 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2884 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2885
2886 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2887 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2888 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2889 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2890 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2891 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2892 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2893 further strengthens the PRNG.
2894 [Bodo Moeller]
2895
2896 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2897 [Andy Polyakov]
2898
2899 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2900 an error message in this case.
2901 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2902
2903 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2904 [Steve Henson]
2905
2906 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2907 positive and less than q.
2908 [Bodo Moeller]
2909
2910 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2911 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2912 that itself.
2913 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2914
2915 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2916 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2917 [Bodo Moeller]
2918
2919 *) Fix OAEP check.
2920 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2921
2922 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2923 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2924 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2925 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2926 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2927 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2928 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2929 paper.)
2930
2931 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2932 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2933 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2934 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2935
2936 Both problems are now fixed.
2937 [Bodo Moeller]
2938
2939 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2940 (previously it was 1024).
2941 [Bodo Moeller]
2942
2943 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2944 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2945 [Steve Henson]
2946
2947 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2951 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2952 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2953 [Steve Henson]
2954
2955 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2956 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2957 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2958 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2959 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2960 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2961 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2962 environment variables.
2963
2964 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2965 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2966 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2967 [Bodo Moeller]
2968
2969 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2970 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2971 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2972 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2973 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2974 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2975 [Bodo Moeller]
2976
2977 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2978 versions of 'test'.
2979 [Bodo Moeller]
2980
2981 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2982
2983 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2984 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2985
2986 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2987 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2988 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2989 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2990 CygWin.
2991 [Richard Levitte]
2992
2993 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2994 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2995 amount of data available.
2996 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2997 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2998
2999 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3000 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3001 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3002 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3003 [Bodo Moeller]
3004
3005 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3006 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3007 and UnixWare.
3008 [Richard Levitte]
3009
3010 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3011 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3012 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3013 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3014 [Ulf Moeller]
3015
3016 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3017 [Andy Polyakov]
3018
3019 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3020 [Richard Levitte]
3021
3022 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3023 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3024 [Steve Henson]
3025 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3026
3027 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3028 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3029 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3030 (but broken) behaviour.
3031 [Steve Henson]
3032
3033 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3034 it when found.
3035 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3036
3037 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3038 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3039 [Bodo Moeller]
3040
3041 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3042 did not exist.
3043 [Bodo Moeller]
3044
3045 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3046 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3047
3048 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3049 [Richard Levitte]
3050
3051 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3052 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3053 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3054
3055 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3056 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3057 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3058 [Steve Henson]
3059
3060 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3061 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3062 [Ulf Moeller]
3063
3064 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3065 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3066
3067 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3068
3069 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3070
3071 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3072 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3073 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3074 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3075 [Bodo Moeller]
3076
3077 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3078 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3079
3080 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3081 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3082 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3083
3084 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3085 was empty.
3086 [Steve Henson]
3087 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3088
3089 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3090 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3091 but the code is actually correct.
3092 [Steve Henson]
3093
3094 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3095 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3096 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3097 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3098 and leaves the highest bit random.
3099 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3100
3101 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3102 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3103 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3104 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3105 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3106 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3107 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3108 [Bodo Moeller]
3109
3110 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3111 [Ulf Moeller]
3112
3113 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3114 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3115 [Steve Henson]
3116
3117 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3118 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3119 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3120 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3121 headers.
3122 [Richard Levitte]
3123
3124 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3125 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3126 and break the signature.
3127 [Steve Henson]
3128 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3129
3130 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3131 DH ciphersuites.
3132 [Steve Henson]
3133
3134 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3135 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3136 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3137 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3138 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3139 [Bodo Moeller]
3140
3141 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3142 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3143
3144 *) ./config script fixes.
3145 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3146
3147 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3148 [Bodo Moeller]
3149
3150 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3151 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3152 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3153 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3154 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3155
3156 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3157 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3158 [Bodo Moeller]
3159
3160 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3161 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3162 [Steve Henson]
3163
3164 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3165 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3166 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3167 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3168
3169 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3170 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3171
3172 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3173 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3174 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3175 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3176 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3177
3178 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3179 [Bodo Moeller]
3180
3181 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3182 [Ulf Möller]
3183
3184 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3185 [Ulf Möller]
3186
3187 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3188 [Bodo Moeller]
3189
3190 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3191 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3192 [Bodo Moeller]
3193
3194 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3195 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3196 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3197 result of the server certificate verification.)
3198 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3199
3200 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3201 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3202 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3203 [Bodo Moeller]
3204
3205 *) Fix SSL_peek:
3206 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3207 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3208 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3209 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3210 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3211 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3212 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3213 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3214 [Bodo Moeller]
3215
3216 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3217 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3218 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3219 happening the other way round.
3220 [Geoff Thorpe]
3221
3222 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3223 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3224 [Bodo Moeller]
3225
3226 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3227 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3228 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3229 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3230 [Richard Levitte]
3231
3232 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3233 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3234
3235 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3236
3237 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3238 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3239 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3240 that.
3241
3242 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3243
3244 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3245
3246 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3247 static ones.
3248 [Richard Levitte]
3249
3250 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3251
3252 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3253 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3254 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3255 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3256 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3257
3258 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3259 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3260 matter what.
3261 [Richard Levitte]
3262
3263 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3264 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3265
3266 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3267
3268 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3269 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3270 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3271 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3272 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3273 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3274 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3275 by the Finished messages.
3276 [Bodo Moeller]
3277
3278 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3279 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3280
3281 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3282 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3283 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3284 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3285 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3286 appropriately.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3290 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3291 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3292 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3293 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3294 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3295 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3296 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3297 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3298 together.
3299 [Steve Henson]
3300
3301 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3302 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3303 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3304 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3305
3306 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3307 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3308 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3309 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3310 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3311 the answer.
3312
3313 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3314 been tested well enough.
3315 [Richard Levitte]
3316
3317 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3318 it can return incorrect results.
3319 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3320 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3321 [Bodo Moeller]
3322
3323 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3324 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3325 include zero length content when signing messages.
3326 [Steve Henson]
3327
3328 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3329 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3330 [Bodo Möller]
3331
3332 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3333 [Richard Levitte]
3334
3335 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3336 wrong sign.
3337 [Ulf Möller]
3338
3339 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3340 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3341 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3342 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3343 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3344 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3345 [Richard Levitte]
3346
3347 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3348 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3349
3350 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3351 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3352
3353 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3354 random number < q in the DSA library.
3355 [Ulf Möller]
3356
3357 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3358 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3359 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3360 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3361 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3362 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3363 just makes things more complicated.)
3364 [Bodo Moeller]
3365
3366 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3367 from EGD.
3368 [Ben Laurie]
3369
3370 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3371 work better on such systems.
3372 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3373
3374 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3375 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3376 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3377 [Steve Henson]
3378
3379 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3380 if there was more than one signature.
3381 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3382
3383 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3384 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3385 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3386 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3387 [Richard Levitte]
3388
3389 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3390 rather than always using the current time.
3391 [Steve Henson]
3392
3393 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3394 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3395 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3396 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3397 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3398 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3399
3400 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3401 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3402
3403 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3404
3405 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3406 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3407 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3408 the same hash value.
3409
3410 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3411 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3412 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3413 with X509_STORE internally.
3414
3415 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3416 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3417
3418 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3419 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3420 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3421 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3422 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3423 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3424 entirely (maybe later...).
3425
3426 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3427
3428 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3429 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3430 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3431 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3432 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3433 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3434 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3435 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3436
3437 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3438 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3439
3440 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3441 to customise the verify behaviour.
3442 [Steve Henson]
3443
3444 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3445 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3446 [Steve Henson]
3447
3448 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3449 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3450 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3451 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3452 request is improperly encoded.
3453 [Steve Henson]
3454
3455 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3456 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3457 BIO_write(b, ...).
3458
3459 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3460 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3461
3462 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3463 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3464 words set to zero.)
3465 [Bodo Moeller]
3466
3467 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3468 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3469 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3470 [Bodo Moeller]
3471
3472 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3473 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3474 BIO/fp routines also added.
3475 [Steve Henson]
3476
3477 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3478 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3479
3480 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3481 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3482 demos/state_machine.
3483 [Ben Laurie]
3484
3485 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3486 generation and verification.
3487 [Steve Henson]
3488
3489 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3490 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3491 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3492 encode and decode it manually.
3493 [Steve Henson]
3494
3495 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3496 compile under VC++.
3497 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3498
3499 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3500 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3501 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3502 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3503
3504 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3505 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3506 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3507 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3508 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3509 [Steve Henson]
3510
3511 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3512 [Richard Levitte]
3513
3514 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3515 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3516 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3517
3518 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3519 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3520 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3521 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3522 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3523 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3524 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3525 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3526
3527 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3528 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3529
3530 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3531
3532 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3533 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3534 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3535
3536 [Richard Levitte]
3537
3538 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3539 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3540 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3541 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3542 [Richard Levitte]
3543
3544 *) MD4 implemented.
3545 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3546
3547 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3548 [Richard Levitte]
3549
3550 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3551 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3552 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3553 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3554 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3555 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3556 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3557 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3558 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3559 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3560 short or long names are found.
3561 [Steve Henson]
3562
3563 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3564 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3565
3566 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3567 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3568 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3569 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3570
3571 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3572 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3573 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3574 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3575 [Bodo Moeller]
3576
3577 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3578 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3579 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3580 [Richard Levitte]
3581
3582 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3583 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3584 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3585 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3586 to allow the various flags to be set.
3587 [Steve Henson]
3588
3589 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3590 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3591 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3592 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3593 dates to be checked.
3594 [Steve Henson]
3595
3596 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3597 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3598 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3599 [Steve Henson]
3600
3601 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3602 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3603 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3604 [Steve Henson]
3605
3606 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3607 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3608 [Bodo Moeller]
3609
3610 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3611 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3612 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3613 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3614 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3615 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3616 [Richard Levitte]
3617
3618 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3619 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3620 Random Numbers.
3621 [Ulf Möller]
3622
3623 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3624 DSA key.
3625 [Steve Henson]
3626
3627 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3628 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3629 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3630 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3631 form signing output easier to verify.
3632 [Steve Henson]
3633
3634 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3635 [Steve Henson]
3636
3637 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3638 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3639 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3640 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3641 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3642 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3643 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3644 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3645 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3646 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3650
3651 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3652 the syntax given in objects.README.
3653 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3654 obj_mac.h.
3655 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3656 obj_mac.h.
3657
3658 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3659 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3660 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3661 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3662 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3663 consistent name changes.
3664 [Richard Levitte]
3665
3666 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3667 [Bodo Moeller]
3668
3669 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3670 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3671 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3672 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3673 [Richard Levitte]
3674
3675 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3676 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3677 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3678 of safestack.h .
3679 [Steve Henson]
3680
3681 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3682 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3683 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3684 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3685 [Steve Henson]
3686
3687 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3688 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3689 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3690 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3691 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3692 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3693 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3694 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3695 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3696 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3697 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3698 [Steve Henson]
3699
3700 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3701 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3702 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3703 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3704 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3705 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3706 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3707 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3708 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3709 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3710 [Steve Henson]
3711
3712 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3713 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3714 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3715 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3716
3717 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3718 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3719 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3720 omit any duplicate addresses.
3721 [Steve Henson]
3722
3723 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3724 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3725 [Bodo Moeller]
3726
3727 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3728 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3729 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3730 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3731 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3732 [Bodo Moeller]
3733
3734 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3735 software:
3736 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3737 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3738 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3739 Free => OPENSSL_free
3740 [Richard Levitte]
3741
3742 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3743 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3744 [Bodo Moeller]
3745
3746 *) CygWin32 support.
3747 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3748
3749 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3750 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3751 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3752 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3753 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3754 approach.
3755 [Geoff Thorpe]
3756
3757 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3758 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3759 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3760 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3761 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3762 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3763 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3764 [Geoff Thorpe]
3765
3766 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3767 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3768 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3769 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3770 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3771 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3772 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3773 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3774 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3775 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3776 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3777 [Bodo Moeller]
3778
3779 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3780 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3781 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3782 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3783 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3784
3785 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3786 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3787 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3788 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3789 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3790
3791 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3792 ciphers.
3793
3794 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3795 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3796 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3797 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3798
3799 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3800
3801 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3802 of macros.
3803
3804 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3805 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3806 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3807 flags.
3808
3809 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3810 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3811 any installed hardware versions can.
3812 [Steve Henson]
3813
3814 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3815 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3816 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3817 number.
3818 [Bodo Moeller]
3819
3820 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3821 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3822 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3823 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3824 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3825
3826 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3827 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3828 [Steve Henson]
3829
3830 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3831 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3832 [Richard Levitte]
3833
3834 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3835 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3836 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3837 features.
3838 [Steve Henson]
3839
3840 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3841 [Ulf Möller]
3842
3843 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3844 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3845 but no ssl client purpose.
3846 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3847
3848 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3849 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3850 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3851 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3852 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3853 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3854 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3855 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3856 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3857 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3858 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3859 [Steve Henson]
3860
3861 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3862 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3863 be obtained from the error queue.
3864 [Bodo Moeller]
3865
3866 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3867 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3868 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3869 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3870 [Bodo Moeller]
3871
3872 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3873 [Ulf Möller]
3874
3875 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3876 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3877 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3878 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3879 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3880 [Geoff Thorpe]
3881
3882 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3883 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3884 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3885 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3886 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3887 [Geoff Thorpe]
3888
3889 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3890 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3891 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3892 may not be NULL.
3893 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3894
3895 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3896 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3897 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3898 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3899 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3900 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3901 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3902 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3903 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3904 or "the configuration storage API"...
3905
3906 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3907
3908 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3909 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3910
3911 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3912
3913 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3914
3915 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3916 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3917 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3918 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3919 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3920 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3921 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3922
3923 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3924 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3925 [Richard Levitte]
3926
3927 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3928 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3929 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3930 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3931 [Bodo Moeller]
3932
3933 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3934 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3935 them in a portable way.
3936 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3937
3938 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3939
3940 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3941
3942 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3943 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3944
3945 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3946 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3947 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3948 <attili@amaxo.com>]
3949
3950 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3951 was larger than the MD block size.
3952 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3953
3954 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3955 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3956 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3957 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3958 components.
3959 [Steve Henson]
3960
3961 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3962 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3963 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3964
3965 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3966 discouraged.
3967 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3968
3969 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3970 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3971 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3972 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3973 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3974 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3975
3976 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3977 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3978
3979 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3980 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3981 [Bodo Moeller]
3982
3983 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3984 [Bodo Moeller]
3985
3986 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3987 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3988 its own key.
3989 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3990 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3991 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3992 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3993 [Bodo Moeller]
3994
3995 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3996 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3997 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3998 does not suppress any output.
3999 [Richard Levitte]
4000
4001 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4002 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4003 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4004 with all the associated security issues.
4005
4006 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4007 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4008 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4009 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4010 use the value in the default purpose.
4011 [Steve Henson]
4012
4013 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4014 and fix a memory leak.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4018 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4019 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4020 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4021 [Bodo Moeller]
4022
4023 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4024 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4025 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4026 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4027 [Bodo Moeller]
4028
4029 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4030 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4031 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4032 [Bodo Moeller]
4033
4034 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4035 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4036 [Bodo Moeller]
4037
4038 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4039 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4040 which was free.
4041 [Steve Henson]
4042
4043 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4044 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4045 [Bodo Moeller]
4046
4047 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4048 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4049 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4050 [Bodo Moeller]
4051
4052 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4053 number generation fails.
4054 [Bodo Moeller]
4055
4056 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4057 [Bodo Moeller]
4058
4059 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4060 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4061
4062 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4063 [Ulf Möller]
4064
4065 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4066 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4067
4068 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4069 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4070
4071 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4072
4073 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4074 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4075 [Steve Henson]
4076
4077 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4078 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4079
4080 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4081 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4082 [Ulf Möller]
4083
4084 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4085 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4086 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4087 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4088 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4089 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4090
4091 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4092 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4093 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4094 for example.
4095 [Steve Henson]
4096
4097 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4098 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4099 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4100 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4101 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4102 counter, some don't.)
4103 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4104 counters or duplicate objects.
4105 [Steve Henson]
4106
4107 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4108 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4109 [Steve Henson]
4110
4111 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4112 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4113 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4114
4115 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4116 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4117 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4118 or -rand.
4119 [Ulf Möller]
4120
4121 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4122 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4123 [Steve Henson]
4124
4125 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4126 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4127 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4128 cipher list.
4129 [Steve Henson]
4130
4131 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4132 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4133 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4137 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4138 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4139 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4140 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4141 should work without changes.
4142 [Richard Levitte]
4143
4144 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4145 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4146 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4147 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4148 must be defined. E.g.,
4149 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4150 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4151 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4152 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4153
4154 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4155 record layer.
4156 [Bodo Moeller]
4157
4158 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4159 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4160 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4161 [Steve Henson]
4162
4163 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4164 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4165 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4166 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4167 [Steve Henson]
4168
4169 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4170 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4171 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4172 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4173 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4174 is prompted for as usual.
4175 [Steve Henson]
4176
4177 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4178 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4179 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4180 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4181
4182 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4183 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4184 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4185 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4186 [Steve Henson]
4187
4188 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4189 [Andy Polyakov]
4190
4191 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4192 of seed file.
4193 [Steve Henson]
4194
4195 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4196 [Bodo Moeller]
4197
4198 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4199 [Steve Henson]
4200
4201 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4202 bits.
4203 [Ulf Möller]
4204
4205 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4206 [Ulf Möller]
4207
4208 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4209 [Andy Polyakov]
4210
4211 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4212 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4213 [Ulf Möller]
4214
4215 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4216 options to produce them.
4217 [Steve Henson]
4218
4219 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4220 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4221 [Ulf Möller]
4222
4223 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4224 for p == 0.
4225 [Ulf Möller]
4226
4227 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4228 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4229 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4230 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4231 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4232 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4233 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4234 [Steve Henson]
4235
4236 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4237 [Steve Henson]
4238
4239 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4240 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4241 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4242 [Bodo Moeller]
4243
4244 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4245 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4246
4247 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4248 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4249 [Ulf Möller]
4250
4251 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4252 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4253 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4254 has already seen).
4255 [Bodo Moeller]
4256
4257 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4258 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4259
4260 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4261 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4262 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4263 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4264 generation becomes much faster.
4265
4266 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4267 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4268 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4269 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4270 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4271 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4272 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4273 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4274 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4275 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4276 [Bodo Moeller]
4277
4278 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4279 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4280 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4281 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4282 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4283 trial division stage.
4284 [Bodo Moeller]
4285
4286 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4287 as ASN1_TIME.
4288 [Steve Henson]
4289
4290 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4291 [Steve Henson]
4292
4293 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4294 [Ulf Möller]
4295
4296 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4297 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4298 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4299 the comments.
4300 [Ulf Möller]
4301
4302 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4303 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4304 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4305 [Bodo Moeller]
4306
4307 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4308 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4309 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4310 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4311
4312 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4313 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4314 [Steve Henson]
4315
4316 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4317 [Ulf Möller]
4318
4319 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4320 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4321 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4322 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4323 [Ulf Möller]
4324
4325 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4326 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4327 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4328 [Ulf Möller]
4329
4330 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4331 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4332 (instead of parameters) in future.
4333 [Steve Henson]
4334
4335 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4336 when a new cipher list is set.
4337 [Steve Henson]
4338
4339 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4340 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4341 wrong.
4342
4343 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4344 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4345 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4346
4347 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4348 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4349 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4350 an error is flagged.
4351
4352 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4353 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4354 the readability was also increased :-)
4355 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4356
4357 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4358 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4359 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4360 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4361 as the root CA.
4362 [Steve Henson]
4363
4364 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4365 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4366 [Steve Henson]
4367
4368 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4369 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4370 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4371 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4372 instead.
4373
4374 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4375 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4376 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4377 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4378 because they handle more complex structures.)
4379 [Steve Henson]
4380
4381 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4382 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4383 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4384 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4385
4386 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4387 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4388 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4389 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4390 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4391 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4392 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4393 [Ulf Möller]
4394
4395 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4396 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4397 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4398 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4399 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4400 [Bodo Moeller]
4401
4402 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4403 [Bodo Moeller]
4404
4405 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4406 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4407 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4408 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4409 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4410 to use this.
4411
4412 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4413 code.
4414 [Steve Henson]
4415
4416 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4417 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4418 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4419 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4420 [Steve Henson]
4421
4422 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4423 [Ulf Möller]
4424
4425 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4426 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4427 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4428 international characters are used.
4429
4430 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4431 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4432 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4433 in ASN1 order.
4434 [Steve Henson]
4435
4436 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4437 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4438 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4439 request.
4440
4441 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4442 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4443 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4444 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4445 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4446 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4447
4448 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4449 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4450 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4451 be handled by the string table functions.
4452
4453 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4454 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4455 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4456 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4457 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4458 types at all.
4459 [Steve Henson]
4460
4461 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4462 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4463 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4464 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4465 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4466
4467 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4468 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4469 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4470 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4471 [Bodo Moeller]
4472
4473 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4474 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4475 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4476 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4477 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4478 SHA1.
4479 [Andy Polyakov]
4480
4481 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4482 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4483 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4484 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4485 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4486 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4487 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4488 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4489
4490 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4491 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4492 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4493 [Steve Henson]
4494
4495 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4496 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4497 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4498 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4499 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4500 support to pkcs8 application.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4504 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4505 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4506 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4507 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4508 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4509 [Bodo Moeller]
4510
4511 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4512 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4513 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4514 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4515 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4516 consistency.
4517 [Bodo Moeller]
4518
4519 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4520 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4521 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4522 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4523 example.
4524 [Steve Henson]
4525
4526 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4527 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4528 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4529 and any application specific purposes.
4530
4531 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4532 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4533 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4534 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4535 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4536 if the certificate is self signed.
4537 [Steve Henson]
4538
4539 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4540 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4541 [Steve Henson]
4542
4543 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4544 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4545 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4546 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4547 [Steve Henson]
4548
4549 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4550 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4551 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4552 Update documentation.
4553 [Steve Henson]
4554
4555 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4556 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4557 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4558 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4559 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4560 [Steve Henson]
4561
4562 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4563 for details.
4564 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4565
4566 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4567 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4568 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4569 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4570 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4571 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4572 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4573 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4574 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4575 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4576
4577 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4578
4579 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4580 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4581 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4582 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4583 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4584
4585 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4586 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4587 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4588 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4589 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4590 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4591 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4592 request additional information:
4593 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4594 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4595
4596 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4597 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4598 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4599 options.
4600
4601 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4602 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4603
4604 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
4605 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4606 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
4607
4608 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4609 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4610
4611 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4612 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4613 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4614 algorithm.
4615 [Steve Henson]
4616
4617 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4618 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4619 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4620
4621 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4622 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4623 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4624 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4625 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4626 included in OpenSSL.
4627 [Steve Henson]
4628
4629 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4630 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4631 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4632 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4633 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4634 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4635 [Bodo Moeller]
4636
4637 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4638 PKCS12 structure.
4639 [Steve Henson]
4640
4641 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4642 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4643 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4644 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4645 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4646 structure.
4647 [Steve Henson]
4648
4649 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4650 need initialising.
4651 [Steve Henson]
4652
4653 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4654 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4655 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4656 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4657 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4658 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4659 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4660 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4661 be maintained manually.
4662
4663 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4664 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4665 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4666 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4667 work because people forget to call this function]
4668 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4669 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4670 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4671 [Steve Henson]
4672
4673 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4674 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4675 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4676 should be discouraged from doing it.
4677 [Ben Laurie]
4678
4679 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4680 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4681 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4682 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4683 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4684 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4685 [Steve Henson]
4686
4687 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4688 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4689 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4690
4691 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4692 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4693 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4694
4695 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4696 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4697 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4698 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4699 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4700 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4701
4702 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4703 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4704 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4705
4706 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4707 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4708 and vice versa.
4709
4710 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4711 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4712 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4713 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4714 [Steve Henson]
4715
4716 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4717 [Steve Henson]
4718
4719 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4720 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4721 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4722 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4723 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4724 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4725 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4726 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4727 keys so we should be OK.
4728
4729 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4730 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4731 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4732 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4733 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4734 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4735 stay in the name of compatibility.
4736
4737 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4738 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4739 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4740
4741 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4742 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4743 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4744 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4745 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4746 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4747 supplied key).
4748 [Steve Henson]
4749
4750 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4751 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4752 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4753 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4754 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4755 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4756 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4757 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4758 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4759 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4760 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4761 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4762 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4763 [Steve Henson]
4764
4765 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4769 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4770 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4771 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4772 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4773 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4774 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4775 openssl verify ss.pem
4776 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4777 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4778 is OK.
4779 [Steve Henson]
4780
4781 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4782 (and add it to external session representation).
4783 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4784 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4785 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4786 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4787 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4788 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4789 security holes.
4790 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4791
4792 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4793 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4794 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4795 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4798 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4799 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4800 [Steve Henson]
4801
4802 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4803 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4804 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4805 code.
4806 [Steve Henson]
4807
4808 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4809 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4810 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4811
4812 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4813 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4814 certificate auxiliary information.
4815 [Steve Henson]
4816
4817 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4818 the 'enc' command.
4819 [Steve Henson]
4820
4821 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4822 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4823 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4824 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4825 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4826 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4827 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4828 [Richard Levitte]
4829
4830 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4831 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4832 [Steve Henson]
4833
4834 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4835 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4836 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4837 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4838 [Steve Henson]
4839
4840 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4841 [Steve Henson]
4842
4843 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4844 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4845 [Steve Henson]
4846
4847 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4848 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4849 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4850 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4851 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4852 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4853 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4854 using the new 'x509' options.
4855
4856 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4857 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4858 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4859 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4860 for all purposes.
4861 [Steve Henson]
4862
4863 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4864 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4865 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4866 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4867 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4868 [Mark Cox]
4869
4870 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4871 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4872 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4873 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4874 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4875 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4876 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4877 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4878 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4879 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4880 [Steve Henson]
4881
4882 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4883 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4884 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4885 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4886 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4887 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4888 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4889 [Steve Henson]
4890
4891 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4892 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4893 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4894 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4895 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4896 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4897 openssl.cnf for more info.
4898 [Steve Henson]
4899
4900 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4901 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4902 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4903 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4904 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4905 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4906 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4907 md should be large enough anyway.
4908 [Bodo Moeller]
4909
4910 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4911 for handling the random seed file.
4912
4913 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4914 ca,
4915 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4916 s_client,
4917 s_server,
4918 x509 (when signing).
4919 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4920 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4921 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4922
4923 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4924 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4925 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4926 that support '-rand'.
4927 [Bodo Moeller]
4928
4929 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4930 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4931 [Bodo Moeller]
4932
4933 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4934 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4935 [Bill Perry]
4936
4937 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4938 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4939 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4940 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4941 is suitable.
4942 [Steve Henson]
4943
4944 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4945 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4946 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4947 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4948 [Steve Henson]
4949
4950 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4951 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4952 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4953 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4954 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4955 print out all the purposes.
4956 [Steve Henson]
4957
4958 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4959 functions.
4960 [Steve Henson]
4961
4962 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4963 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4964 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4965 single function call.
4966 [Steve Henson]
4967
4968 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4969 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4970 [Andy Polyakov]
4971
4972 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4973 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4974 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4975 [Steve Henson]
4976
4977 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4978 when producing the local key id.
4979 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4980
4981 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4982 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4983 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4984 "server.pem".
4985 [Steve Henson]
4986
4987 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4988 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4989 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4990 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4991 [Steve Henson]
4992
4993 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4994 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4995 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4996 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4997
4998 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4999 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5000 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5001 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5002
5003 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5004 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5005 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5006 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5007 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5008 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5009 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5010 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5011 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5012 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5013 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5014 trivial: move one line.
5015 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5016
5017 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5018 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5019 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5020 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5021 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5022 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5023 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5024 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5025 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5026 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5027 with an event loop for example.
5028 [Steve Henson]
5029
5030 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5031 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5032 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5033 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5034 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5035 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5036 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5037 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5038 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5039 [Steve Henson]
5040
5041 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5042 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5043 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5044 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5045 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5046 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5047 [Steve Henson]
5048
5049 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5050 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5051 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5052 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5053
5054 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5055 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5056 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5057 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5058 key generation.
5059 [Steve Henson]
5060
5061 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5062 (still largely untested)
5063 [Bodo Moeller]
5064
5065 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5066 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5067 [Steve Henson]
5068
5069 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5070 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5071 [Steve Henson]
5072
5073 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5074 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5075 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5076 [Bodo Moeller]
5077
5078 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5079 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5080 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5081 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5082 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5083 [Steve Henson]
5084
5085 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5086 [Andy Polyakov]
5087
5088 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5089 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5090 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5091 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5092 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5093 in ca.
5094 [Steve Henson]
5095
5096 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5097 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5098 1.OU="Unit name 1"
5099 2.OU="Unit name 2"
5100 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5101 [Steve Henson]
5102
5103 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5104 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5105 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5106 are otherwise ignored at present.
5107 [Steve Henson]
5108
5109 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5110 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5111 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5112 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5113 copied until the next read.
5114 [Steve Henson]
5115
5116 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5117 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5118 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5119 [Steve Henson]
5120
5121 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5122 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5123 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5124 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5125 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5126 associated functions.
5127 [Steve Henson]
5128
5129 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5130 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5131 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5132 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5133 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5134 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5135 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5136 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5137 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5138 memory BIOs.
5139 [Steve Henson]
5140
5141 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5142 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5143 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5144 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5145 [Bodo Moeller]
5146
5147 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5148 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5149 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5150 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5151 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5152 functionality.
5153 [Steve Henson]
5154
5155 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5156 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5157 under Win32.
5158 [Steve Henson]
5159
5160 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5161 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5162 extensions to be obtained and added.
5163 [Steve Henson]
5164
5165 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5166 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5167 [Bodo Moeller]
5168
5169 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5170
5171 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5172 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5173
5174 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5175 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5176
5177 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5178 program.
5179 [Steve Henson]
5180
5181 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5182 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5183 DH parameters contain its length).
5184
5185 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5186 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5187 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5188 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5189 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5190 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5191 utter importance to use
5192 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5193 or
5194 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5195 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5196 attacks may become possible!
5197 [Bodo Moeller]
5198
5199 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5200 [Bodo Moeller]
5201
5202 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5203 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5204 [Steve Henson]
5205
5206 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5207 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5208 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5209 or long name.
5210 [Steve Henson]
5211
5212 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5213 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5214 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5215 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5216 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5217 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5218 private key operations.
5219 [Steve Henson]
5220
5221 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5222 [Andy Polyakov]
5223
5224 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5225 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5226 to
5227 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5228 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5229 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5230 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5231 the password callback is called.
5232 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5233
5234 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5235
5236 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5237 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5238 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5239 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5240 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5241 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5242 this will work.
5243
5244 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5245 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5246 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5247 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5248 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5249 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5250 [Bodo Moeller]
5251
5252 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5253 [Andy Polyakov]
5254
5255 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5256 delete an unused file.
5257 [Ulf Möller]
5258
5259 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5260 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5261 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5262 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5263 [Steve Henson]
5264
5265 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5266 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5267 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5268 of an error.
5269 [Bodo Moeller]
5270
5271 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5272 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5273 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5274
5275 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5276 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5277 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5278 comparison" warnings.
5279 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5280 [Steve Henson]
5281
5282 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5283 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5284 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5285 [Steve Henson]
5286
5287 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5288 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5289
5290 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5291 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5292
5293 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5294 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5295 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5296
5297 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5298 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5299 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5300 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5301 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5302 this bug.
5303 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5304
5305 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5306 The interface is as follows:
5307 Applications can use
5308 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5309 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5310 "off" is now the default.
5311 The library internally uses
5312 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5313 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5314 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5315
5316 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5317 even the default) are now avoided.
5318
5319 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5320 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5321 than just having a counter.
5322
5323 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5324
5325 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5326 extensions.
5327 [Bodo Moeller]
5328
5329 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5330 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5331 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5332 Initial "mode" flags are:
5333
5334 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5335 a single record has been written.
5336 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5337 retries use the same buffer location.
5338 (But all of the contents must be
5339 copied!)
5340 [Bodo Moeller]
5341
5342 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5343 worked.
5344
5345 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5346 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5347
5348 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5349 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5350 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5351 [Steve Henson]
5352
5353 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5354 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5355 test programs.
5356 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5357
5358 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5359 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5360 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5361 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5362 point to the end.
5363 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5364 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5365
5366 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5367 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5368 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5369 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5370 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5371 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5372 [Steve Henson]
5373
5374 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5375 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5376 necessary function names.
5377 [Steve Henson]
5378
5379 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5380 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5381 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5382 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5383 [Bodo Moeller]
5384
5385 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5386 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5387 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5388 [Steve Henson]
5389
5390 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5391 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5392 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5393 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5394 such programs?)
5395 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5396 need locks.
5397 [Bodo Moeller]
5398
5399 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5400 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5401 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5402 [Bodo Moeller]
5403
5404 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5405 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5406 appropriate.
5407 [Bodo Moeller]
5408
5409 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5410 for the encoded length.
5411 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5412
5413 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5414 [Steve Henson]
5415
5416 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5417 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5418 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5419 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5420 [Steve Henson]
5421
5422 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5423 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5424 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5425
5426 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5427 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5428 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5429 unusual formatting.
5430 [Steve Henson]
5431
5432 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5433 to use the new extension code.
5434 [Steve Henson]
5435
5436 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5437 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5438 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5439 constant.
5440 [Steve Henson]
5441
5442 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5443 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5444 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5445 [Bodo Moeller]
5446
5447 #if 0
5448 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5449 [Ben Laurie]
5450 #else
5451 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5452 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5453 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5454 #endif
5455
5456 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5457 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5458 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5459 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5460 [Ben Laurie]
5461
5462 *) DES library cleanups.
5463 [Ulf Möller]
5464
5465 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5466 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5467 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5468 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5469 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5470 of v2.0.
5471 [Steve Henson]
5472
5473 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5474 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5475 [Bodo Moeller]
5476
5477 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5478 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5479 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5480 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5481 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5482 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5483 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5484 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5485 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5486 [Steve Henson]
5487
5488 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5489 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5490 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5491 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5492 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5493 value doesn't matter.
5494 [Steve Henson]
5495
5496 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5497 support mutable.
5498 [Ben Laurie]
5499
5500 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5501 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5502 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5503 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5504
5505 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5506 [Ulf Möller]
5507
5508 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5509 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5510 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5511
5512 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5513 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5514
5515 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5516 [Ben Laurie]
5517
5518 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5519 [Ben Laurie]
5520
5521 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5522 [Ben Laurie]
5523
5524 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5525 [Bodo Moeller]
5526
5527
5528 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5529
5530 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5531
5532 *) Updated some demos.
5533 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5534
5535 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5536 [Wu Zhigang]
5537
5538 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5539 [Steve Henson]
5540
5541 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5542 [Steve Henson]
5543
5544 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5545 instead of using a fixed path.
5546 [Bodo Moeller]
5547
5548 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5549 [Andy Polyakov]
5550
5551 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5552 [Richard Levitte]
5553
5554
5555 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5556
5557 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5558 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5559 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5560
5561 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5562 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5563 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5564 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5565 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5566 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5567 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5568 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5569 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5570 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5571 [Steve Henson]
5572
5573 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5574 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5575 [Steve Henson]
5576
5577 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5578 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5579 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5580 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5581 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5582
5583 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5584 [Bodo Moeller]
5585
5586 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5587 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5588 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5589 [Steve Henson]
5590
5591 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5592 [Ben Laurie]
5593
5594 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5595 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5596 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5597 key elements as negative integers.
5598 [Steve Henson]
5599
5600 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5601 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5602
5603 *) VMS support.
5604 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5605
5606 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5607 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5608 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
5609 [Steve Henson]
5610
5611 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
5612 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
5613 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
5614 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
5615 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
5616 [Bodo Moeller]
5617
5618 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
5619 [Ulf Möller]
5620
5621 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
5622 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
5623 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
5624 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5625
5626 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
5627 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
5628 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
5629
5630 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
5631 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
5632 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
5633 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
5634 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
5635 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
5636 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
5637 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
5638 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
5639
5640 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
5641 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
5642 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
5643 does not influence s as it used to.
5644
5645 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
5646 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
5647 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
5648 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
5649 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
5650 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
5651 [Bodo Moeller]
5652
5653 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
5654 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
5655 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
5656 key type.
5657 [Steve Henson]
5658
5659 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
5660 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
5661 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
5662 and 'x509').
5663 [Steve Henson]
5664
5665 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
5666 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
5667 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
5668 extension option.
5669 [Steve Henson]
5670
5671 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
5672 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
5673 [Ben Laurie]
5674
5675 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
5676 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5677
5678 *) Support Mingw32.
5679 [Ulf Möller]
5680
5681 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
5682 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5683
5684 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
5685 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5686
5687 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
5688 [Ulf Möller]
5689
5690 *) Update HPUX configuration.
5691 [Anonymous]
5692
5693 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
5694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5695
5696 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
5697 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
5698 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
5699 DER-encoded.)
5700 [Bodo Moeller]
5701
5702 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
5703 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
5704 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
5705 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
5706 now it really counts the depth.
5707 [Bodo Moeller]
5708
5709 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
5710 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
5711 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
5712 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
5713 didn't match the private key).
5714
5715 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
5716 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
5717 connection using the SSL_CTX).
5718 [Bodo Moeller]
5719
5720 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
5721 [Ulf Möller]
5722
5723 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
5724 David Harris.
5725 [Bodo Moeller]
5726
5727 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
5728 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
5729 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
5730 [Bodo Moeller]
5731
5732 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
5733 [Bodo Moeller]
5734
5735 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
5736 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
5737 such as /usr/local/bin.
5738 [Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
5741 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5742
5743 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
5744 [Ulf Möller]
5745
5746 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
5747 extension adding in x509 utility.
5748 [Steve Henson]
5749
5750 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
5751 [Ulf Möller]
5752
5753 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
5754 prototypes.
5755 [Steve Henson]
5756
5757 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
5758 [Ulf Möller]
5759
5760 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
5761 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
5762 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
5763 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
5764 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
5765 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
5766 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
5767 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
5768 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
5769 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
5770 [Steve Henson]
5771
5772 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
5773 [Bodo Moeller]
5774
5775 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
5776 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
5777 [Bodo Moeller]
5778
5779 *) Fix some race conditions.
5780 [Bodo Moeller]
5781
5782 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
5783 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
5784 [Steve Henson]
5785
5786 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
5787 [Ulf Möller]
5788
5789 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
5790 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
5791 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
5792 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
5793
5794 *) Fix lots of warnings.
5795 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5796
5797 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
5798 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
5799 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5800
5801 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
5802 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5803
5804 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
5805 [Ulf Möller]
5806
5807 *) Fix typos in error codes.
5808 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
5809
5810 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
5811 [Ulf Möller]
5812
5813 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
5814 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5815
5816 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
5817 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
5821 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
5822 [Ben Laurie]
5823
5824 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
5825 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
5826 [Steve Henson]
5827
5828 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
5829 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
5833 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
5834 [Steve Henson]
5835
5836 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
5837 support typesafe stack.
5838 [Steve Henson]
5839
5840 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
5841 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
5842
5843 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
5844 old X509V3 handling code.
5845 [Steve Henson]
5846
5847 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
5848 [Ulf Möller]
5849
5850 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
5851 [Bodo Moeller]
5852
5853 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
5854 [Ben Laurie]
5855
5856 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
5857 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
5858
5859 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
5860 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
5861 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
5862 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
5863 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
5864 [Ben Laurie]
5865
5866 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
5867 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
5868 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
5869 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
5870 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
5871
5872 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
5873 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
5874 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
5875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5876
5877 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
5878 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
5879 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
5880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5881
5882 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
5883 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
5884 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
5885 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
5886 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
5887 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
5888 [Bodo Moeller]
5889
5890 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
5891 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
5892 [Bodo Moeller]
5893
5894 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
5895 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
5896 [Ulf Möller]
5897
5898 *) Tweaks to Configure
5899 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
5900
5901 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
5902 yet...
5903 [Steve Henson]
5904
5905 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
5906 [Ulf Möller]
5907
5908 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
5909 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
5910 [Ulf Möller]
5911
5912 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
5913 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
5914 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
5915 [Bodo Moeller]
5916
5917 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
5918 [Bodo Moeller]
5919
5920 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
5921 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
5922 [Steve Henson]
5923
5924 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
5925 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
5926 to library startup routines.
5927 [Steve Henson]
5928
5929 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
5930 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
5931 codes along the way.
5932 [Steve Henson]
5933
5934 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
5935 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
5936 objects to objects.h
5937 [Steve Henson]
5938
5939 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
5940 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
5941 [Steve Henson]
5942
5943 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
5944 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
5945
5946 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
5947 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
5948 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
5949
5950 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
5951 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5952 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5953
5954 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
5955 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
5956 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
5957
5958
5959 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
5960
5961 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
5962 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
5963 [Ben Laurie]
5964
5965 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
5966 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
5967 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
5968 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
5969 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
5970
5971 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
5972 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
5973 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
5974 document.
5975 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5976
5977 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
5978 Malloc, Free.
5979 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
5980
5981 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
5982 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5983
5984 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
5985 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
5986 if someone would make that last step automatic.
5987 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
5988
5989 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
5990 [Ben Laurie]
5991
5992 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
5993 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
5994 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
5995 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
5996 [Steve Henson]
5997
5998 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
5999 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6000 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6001 [Steve Henson]
6002
6003 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6004 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6005 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6006 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6007 installed as `perl').
6008 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6009
6010 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6011 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6012
6013 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6014 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6015 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6016 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6017 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6018 [Steve Henson]
6019
6020 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6021 [Ben Laurie]
6022
6023 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6024 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6025 is horrible: I feel ill....
6026 [Steve Henson]
6027
6028 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6029 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6030 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6031 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6032 [Steve Henson]
6033
6034 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6036
6037 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6038 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6039 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6040 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6041
6042 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6043 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6044 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6045 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6046 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6047 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6048 openssl_bio.xs.
6049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6050
6051 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6052 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6053
6054 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6055 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6056
6057 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6058 [Ben Laurie]
6059
6060 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6061 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6062 in CRLs.
6063 [Steve Henson]
6064
6065 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6066 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6067 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6068 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6069 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6070 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6071 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6072 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6073 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6074 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6075 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6076
6077 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6078 [Ben Laurie]
6079
6080 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6081 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6082 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6083 for linking it into DSOs.
6084 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6085
6086 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6087 Fixed.
6088 [Ben Laurie]
6089
6090 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6091 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6092 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6093 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6094 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6096
6097 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6098 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6099 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6100 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6101 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6102 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6103 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6104
6105 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6106 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6107 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6108 encryption.
6109 [Ben Laurie]
6110
6111 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6112 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6113 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6114 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6115 [Steve Henson]
6116
6117 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6118 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6119 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6120 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6121 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6122 field as blank.
6123 [Steve Henson]
6124
6125 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6126 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6127 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6128 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6130
6131 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6132 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6133 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6134
6135 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6136 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6137
6138 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6139 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6140 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6141 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6142 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6143 [Steve Henson]
6144
6145 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6146 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6147 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6148 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6149 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6150 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6151 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6152 [Ben Laurie]
6153
6154 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6155 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
6156 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6157 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6158 [Ben Laurie]
6159
6160 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6161 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6162
6163 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6164 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6165 [Steve Henson]
6166
6167 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6168 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6169 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6170 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6171 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6172 (e.g. s_server).
6173 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6174 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6175 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6176 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6177 no way to reconfigure them.
6178 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6179 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6180 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6181 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6182 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6183 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6184
6185 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6186 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6187 recognized by the users.
6188 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6189
6190 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6191 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6192 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6193 already masked variable.
6194 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6195
6196 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6197 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6198
6199 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6200 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6201 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6202 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6203
6204 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6205 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6207
6208 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6209 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6210 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6211 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6212 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6213 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6214 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6215 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6216 now, too.
6217 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6218
6219 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6220 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6221 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6222
6223 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6224 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6225 config file.
6226 [Steve Henson]
6227
6228 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6229 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6230
6231 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6232 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6233 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6234 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6235 [Ben Laurie]
6236
6237 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6238 [Steve Henson]
6239
6240 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6241 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6242
6243 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6244 [Ben Laurie]
6245
6246 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6247 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6248 [Steve Henson]
6249
6250 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6251 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6252 [Steve Henson]
6253
6254 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6255 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6256 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6257 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6258 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6259 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6260 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6261 Ben Laurie]
6262
6263 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6264 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6265
6266 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6267 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6268 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6269 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6270 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6271
6272 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6273 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6274 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6275 [Steve Henson]
6276
6277 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6278 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6279 an example.
6280 [Steve Henson]
6281
6282 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6283 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6284 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6285
6286 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6287 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6288 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6289 build instructions.
6290 [Steve Henson]
6291
6292 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6293 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6294 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6295 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6296 [Steve Henson]
6297
6298 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6299 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6300 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6301 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6302 [Ben Laurie]
6303
6304 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6305 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6306 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6307 so it wasn't spotted.
6308 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6309
6310 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6311 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6312 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6313 vectors if you have them.
6314 [Ben Laurie]
6315
6316 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6317 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6318 [Ben Laurie]
6319
6320 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6321 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6322 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6323 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6324 If you do a:
6325 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6326 it will update them.
6327 [Steve Henson]
6328
6329 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6330 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6331 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6332 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6333 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6334 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6335 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6336 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6337
6338 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6339 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6340 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6341 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6342 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6343 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6344 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6345 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6346 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6347 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6348
6349 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6350 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6351 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6352 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6353 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6354 [Steve Henson]
6355
6356 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6357 INTEGER code.
6358 [Steve Henson]
6359
6360 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6361 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6362
6363 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6364 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6365
6366 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6367 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6368 [Ben Laurie]
6369
6370 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6371 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6372
6373 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6374 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6375
6376 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6377 [Steve Henson]
6378
6379 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6380 few typos.
6381 [Steve Henson]
6382
6383 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6384 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6385 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6386 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6387
6388 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6389 [Steve Henson]
6390
6391 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6392 [Steve Henson]
6393
6394 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6395 [Steve Henson]
6396
6397 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6398 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6399 [Steve Henson]
6400
6401 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6402 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6403 CA extensions.
6404 [Steve Henson]
6405
6406 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6407 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6408 [Steve Henson]
6409
6410 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6411 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6412 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6413 [Steve Henson]
6414
6415 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6416 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6417 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6418 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6419 properly to be processed.
6420 [Steve Henson]
6421
6422 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6423 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6424 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6425 [Ben Laurie]
6426
6427 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6428 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6429
6430 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6431 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6432 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6433 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6434 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6435 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6436 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6437 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6438 or delete all the .err files.
6439 [Steve Henson]
6440
6441 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6442 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6443 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6444 to regenerate it if needed.
6445 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6446 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6447
6448 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6449 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6450
6451 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6452 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6453 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6454 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6455 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6456 [Steve Henson]
6457
6458 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6459 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6460
6461 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6462 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6463
6464 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6465 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6466 error, but didn't set one).
6467 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6468
6469 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6470 [Ben Laurie]
6471
6472 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6473 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6474 [Steve Henson]
6475
6476 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6477 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6478
6479 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6480 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6481 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6482 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6483 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6484 OID is not part of the table.
6485 [Steve Henson]
6486
6487 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6488 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6489 [Ben Laurie]
6490
6491 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6492 [Ben Laurie]
6493
6494 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6495 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6496 was "1234").
6497 [Steve Henson]
6498
6499 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6500 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6501
6502 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6503 NULL pointers.
6504 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6505
6506 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6507 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6508
6509 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6510 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6511
6512 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6513 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6514
6515 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6516 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6517 [Ben Laurie]
6518
6519 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6520 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6521 [Steve Henson]
6522
6523 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6524 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6525
6526 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6527 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6528
6529 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6530 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6531
6532 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6533 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6534
6535 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6536 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6537 unused in the certificate verification process.
6538 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6539
6540 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6541 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6542 [Steve Henson]
6543
6544 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6545 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6546 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6547
6548 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6549 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6550 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6551 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6552 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6553
6554 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6555 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6556 [Steve Henson]
6557
6558 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6559 [Steve Henson]
6560
6561 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6562 [Paul Sutton]
6563
6564 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6565 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6566
6567 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6568 [Ben Laurie]
6569
6570 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6571 [Ben Laurie]
6572
6573 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6574 [Ben Laurie]
6575
6576 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6577 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6578 other error libraries.
6579 [Steve Henson]
6580
6581 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6582 [Steve Henson]
6583
6584 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6585 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6586 be read in.
6587 [Steve Henson]
6588
6589 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6590 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6591 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6592 the new set of documenation files.
6593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6594
6595 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6596 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6597 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6598 number of arguments.
6599 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6600
6601 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6602 [Ben Laurie]
6603
6604 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6605 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6606 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6607
6608 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
6609 [Ben Laurie]
6610
6611 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
6612 nextstep
6613 ncr-scde
6614 unixware-2.0
6615 unixware-2.0-pentium
6616 sco5-cc.
6617 [Ben Laurie]
6618
6619 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
6620 before they are needed.
6621 [Ben Laurie]
6622
6623 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
6624 [Ben Laurie]
6625
6626
6627 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
6628
6629 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
6630 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
6631 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6632
6633 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
6634 [Paul Sutton]
6635
6636 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
6637 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
6638 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6639
6640 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
6641 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
6642 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
6643
6644 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
6645 when "ssleay" is still not found.
6646 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6647
6648 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
6649 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
6650
6651 *) Updated the README file.
6652 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6653
6654 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
6655 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
6656 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6657
6658 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
6659 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
6660 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6661
6662 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
6663 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
6664 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
6665 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
6666 o removed obsolete TODO file
6667 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
6668 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6669
6670 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
6671 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
6672 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
6673 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
6674 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
6675 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
6676 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6677
6678 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
6679 [Mark J. Cox]
6680
6681 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
6682 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
6683 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
6684 summer 1998.
6685 [The OpenSSL Project]
6686
6687
6688 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
6689
6690 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
6691 [Eric A. Young]
6692
6693 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
6694 [Eric A. Young]
6695
6696 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
6697 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
6698 [Eric A. Young]
6699
6700 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
6701 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
6702 available).
6703 [Eric A. Young]
6704
6705 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
6706 binary structures
6707 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
6708
6709 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
6710 [Eric A. Young]
6711
6712 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
6713 [Eric A. Young]
6714
6715 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
6716 [Eric A. Young]
6717
6718 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
6719 [Eric A. Young]
6720
6721 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
6722 [Eric A. Young]
6723
6724 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
6725 [Eric A. Young]
6726
6727 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
6728 [Eric A. Young]
6729
6730 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
6731 [Eric A. Young]
6732
6733 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
6734 [Eric A. Young]
6735
