5 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
8 [Ben Laurie]
9
10 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
11 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
12 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
13 CONF_VALUE.
14 [Ben Laurie]
15
16 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
17 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
18 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
19 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
20 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
21 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
22 [Steve Henson]
23
24 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
25 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
26
27 This work was sponsored by Google.
28 [Steve Henson]
29
30 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
31 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
32 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
33 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
34 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
35 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
36 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
37 default.
38
39 This work was sponsored by Google.
40 [Steve Henson]
41
42 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
43
44 This work was sponsored by Google.
45 [Steve Henson]
46
47 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
48 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
49 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
50 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
51
52 This work was sponsored by Google.
53 [Steve Henson]
54
55 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
56 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
57 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
58 CRL functionality in future.
59
60 This work was sponsored by Google.
61 [Steve Henson]
62
63 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
64
65 This work was sponsored by Google.
66 [Steve Henson]
67
68 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
69 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
70
71 This work was sponsored by Google.
72 [Steve Henson]
73
74 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
75 and URI types are currently supported.
76
77 This work was sponsored by Google.
78 [Steve Henson]
79
80 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
81 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
82 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
83 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
84 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
85 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
86 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
87 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
88
89 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
90 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
91 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
92
93 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
94 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
95 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
96 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
97
98 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
99 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
100 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
101 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
102 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
103 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
104 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
105 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
106 of &errno.)
107 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
108
109 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
110 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
111 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
112
113 This work was sponsored by Google.
114 [Steve Henson]
115
116 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
117 [Ben Laurie]
118
119 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
120 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
121 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
122 [Ben Laurie]
123
124 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
125 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
126 [Nick Mathewson]
127
128 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
129 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
130 [Ben Laurie]
131
132 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
133 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
134 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
135 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
136 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
137 content types and variants.
138 [Steve Henson]
139
140 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
141 [Steve Henson]
142
143 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
144 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
145 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
146 files from the associated perl scripts.
147 [Steve Henson]
148
149 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
150 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
151 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
152
153 *) s390x assembler pack.
154 [Andy Polyakov]
155
156 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
157 "family."
158 [Andy Polyakov]
159
160 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
161 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
162 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
163 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
164 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
165 to use. For example, specify an option
166
167 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
168
169 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
170 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
171 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
172 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
173 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
174 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
175
176 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
177 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
178 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
179 return non-zero for success.
180
181 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
182 by using
183
184 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
185 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
186
187 where
188
189 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
190 void *arg;
191
192 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
193 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
194 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
195 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
196 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
197 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
198 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
199 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
200 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
201
202 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
203 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
204 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
205 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
206 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
207 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
208
209 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
210 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
211 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
212 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
213 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
214 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
215
216 [Bodo Moeller]
217
218 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
219 MAC.
220
221 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
222
223 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
224 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
225 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
226 supported.
227
228 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
229 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
230 SSL_SESSION.
231
232 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
233 protection in servers so again support should be possible
234 with no application modification.
235
236 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
237 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
238
239 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
240 or server extensions to be examined.
241
242 This work was sponsored by Google.
243 [Steve Henson]
244
245 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
246 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
247 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
248
249 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
250 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
251 ciphersuite support.
252 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
253
254 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
255 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
256 to output in BER and PEM format.
257 [Steve Henson]
258
259 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
260 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
261 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
262 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
263 -macopt options to dgst utility.
264 [Steve Henson]
265
266 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
267 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
268 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
269 utility.
270 [Steve Henson]
271
272 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
273 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
274 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
275 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
276 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
277 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
278 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
279 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
280 enabled again.
281
282 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
283 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
284 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
285 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
286
287 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
288 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
289 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
290 the default order.
291 [Bodo Moeller]
292
293 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
294 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
295 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
296 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
297 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
298 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
299 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
300 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
301 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
302
303 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
304 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
305 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
306 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
307 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
308 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
309 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
310 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
311 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
312 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
313 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
314 kinds of kludges.
315
316 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
317 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
318 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
319
320 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
321 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
322 "CAMELLIA256".
323 [Bodo Moeller]
324
325 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
326 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
327 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
328 [Nils Larsch]
329
330 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
331 it yet and it is largely untested.
332 [Steve Henson]
333
334 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
335 [Nils Larsch]
336
337 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
338 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
339 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
340 [Steve Henson]
341
342 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
343 [Andy Polyakov]
344
345 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
346 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
347 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
348 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
349 [Steve Henson]
350
351 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
352 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
353 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
354 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
355 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
356 [Steve Henson]
357
358 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
359 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
360 [Cryptocom]
361
362 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
363 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
364 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
365 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
366 [Steve Henson]
367
368 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
369 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
370 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
371 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
372 [Steve Henson]
373
374 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
375 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
376 [Steve Henson]
377
378 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
379 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
380 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
381 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
382 [Steve Henson]
383
384 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
385 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
386 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
387 [Steve Henson]
388
389 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
390 utility.
391 [Steve Henson]
392
393 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
394 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
395 [Steve Henson]
396
397 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
398 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
399 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
400 if necessary.
401 [Steve Henson]
402
403 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
404 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
405 to free up any added signature OIDs.
406 [Steve Henson]
407
408 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
409 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
410 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
411 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
412 [Steve Henson]
413
414 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
415 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
416 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
417 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
418 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
419 the array representation useful in a more general context.
420 [Douglas Stebila]
421
422 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
423 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
424 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
425 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
426 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
427
428 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
429 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
430 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
431 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
432 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
433 protocol).
434
435 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
436 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
437 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
438 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
439
440 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
441 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
442 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
443 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
444 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
445
446 aECDH - ECDH cert
447 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
448 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
449
450 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
451 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
452
453 [Bodo Moeller]
454
455 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
456 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
457 [Steve Henson]
458
459 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
460 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
461 [Steve Henson]
462
463 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
464 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
465 functional reference processing.
466 [Steve Henson]
467
468 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
469 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
470 process.
471 [Steve Henson]
472
473 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
474 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
475 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
476 [Steve Henson]
477
478 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
479 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
480 application to support multiple signers.
481 [Steve Henson]
482
483 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
484 digest MAC.
485 [Steve Henson]
486
487 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
488 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
489 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
490 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
491 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
492 [Steve Henson]
493
494 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
495 new API.
496 [Steve Henson]
497
498 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
499 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
500 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
501 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
502 a no op.
503 [Steve Henson]
504
505 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
506 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
507 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
508 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
509 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
510 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
511 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
512 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
513 [Steve Henson]
514
515 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
516 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
517 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
518 between digests and public key types.
519 [Steve Henson]
520
521 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
522 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
523 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
524 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
525 [Steve Henson]
526
527 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
528 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
529 key ASN1 method.
530 [Steve Henson]
531
532 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
533 [Steve Henson]
534
535 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
536 pkeyutl.
537 [Steve Henson]
538
539 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
540 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
541 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
542 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
543 pkey, genpkey.
544 [Steve Henson]
545
546 *) BeOS support.
547 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
548
549 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
550 manual pages.
551 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
552
553 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
554 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
555 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
556 functionality for RSA.
557 [Steve Henson]
558
559 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
560 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
561 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
562 [Steve Henson]
563
564 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
565 key API, doesn't do much yet.
566 [Steve Henson]
567
568 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
569 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
570 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
571 [Steve Henson]
572
573 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
574 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
575 [Douglas Stebila]
576
577 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
578 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
579 [Steve Henson]
580
581 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
582 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
583 type.
584 [Steve Henson]
585
586 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
587 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
588 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
589 structure.
590 [Steve Henson]
591
592 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
593 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
594 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
595 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
596 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
597 of public and private key structures.
598 [Steve Henson]
599
600 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
601 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
602 [Douglas Stebila]
603
604 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
605 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
606 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
607
608 New ciphersuites:
609 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
610 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
611
612 New functions:
613 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
614 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
615 SSL_get_psk_identity
616 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
617
618 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
619
620 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
621 and response verification functionality.
622 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
623
624 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
625 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
626 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
627 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
628 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
629 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
630 server_name extension.
631
632 New functions (subject to change):
633
634 SSL_get_servername()
635 SSL_get_servername_type()
636 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
637
638 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
639
640 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
641 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
642 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
643 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
644 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
645
646 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
647
648 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
649 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
650 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
651 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
652 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
653 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
654 option.
655
656 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
657
658 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
659 [Andy Polyakov]
660
661 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
662 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
663 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
664 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
665 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
666 [Andy Polyakov]
667
668 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
669 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
670 macro.
671 [Bodo Moeller]
672
673 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
674 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
675 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
676 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
677 [Andy Polyakov]
678
679 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
680 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
681 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
682 using the maximum available value.
683 [Steve Henson]
684
685 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
686 in addition to the text details.
687 [Bodo Moeller]
688
689 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
690 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
691 handle several customised structures at all.
692 [Steve Henson]
693
694 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
695 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
696 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
697 [Steve Henson]
698
699 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
700 [Steve Henson]
701
702 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
703 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
704 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
705 [Steve Henson]
706
707 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
708 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
709 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
710 [Nils Larsch]
711
712 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
713 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
714 all fields.
715 [Steve Henson]
716
717 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
718 [Steve Henson]
719
720 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
721 [NTT]
722
723 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [xx XXX xxxx]
724
725 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
726 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
727 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
728 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
729 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
730 [Bodo Moeller]
731
732 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
733
734 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
735 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
736 [Nagendra Modadugu]
737
738 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
739 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
740 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
741 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
742
743 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
744 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
745
746 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
747
748 *) Various precautionary measures:
749
750 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
751
752 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
753 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
754 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
755
756 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
757 outside the expected range.
758
759 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
760 builds.
761
762 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
763
764 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
765 the load fails. Useful for distros.
766 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
767
768 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
769 [Steve Henson]
770
771 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
772 [Huang Ying]
773
774 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
775
776 This work was sponsored by Logica.
777 [Steve Henson]
778
779 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
780 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
781 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
782
783 This work was sponsored by Logica.
784 [Steve Henson]
785
786 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
787 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
788 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
789 files.
790 [Steve Henson]
791
792 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
793
794 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
795 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
796 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
797 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
798
799 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
800 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
801 [Joe Orton]
802
803 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
804
805 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
806 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
807 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
808
809 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
810
811 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
812 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
813 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
814 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
815 [Lutz Jaenicke]
816
817 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
818 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
819 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
820 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
821 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
822 invalid read after the end of 'db').
823 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
824
825 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
826
827 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
828 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
829 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
830 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
831 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
832
833 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
834 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
835
836 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
837 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
838 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
839 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
840 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
841
842 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
843
844 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
845 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
846 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
847 sets may exist with different names.
848 [Steve Henson]
849
850 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
851 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
852 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
853 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
854 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
855 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
856 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
857 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
858 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
859 implementation.
860 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
861
862 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
863 implemention in the following ways:
864
865 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
866 hard coded.
867
868 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
869 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
870 ignored for embedded content.
871
872 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
873 with the enable-cms configuration option.
874 [Steve Henson]
875
876 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
877 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
878 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
879 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
880
881 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
882 uncompresses any data passed through it.
883 [Steve Henson]
884
885 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
886 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
887 [Steve Henson]
888
889 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
890 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
891 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
892 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
893 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
894 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
895 data.
896 [Steve Henson]
897
898 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
899 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
900 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
901
902 *) Netware support:
903
904 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
905 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
906 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
907 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
908 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
909 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
910 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
911 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
912 platform
913 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
914 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
915 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
916 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
917 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
918 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
919 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
920
921 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
922 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
923 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
924 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
925 to s_client and s_server.
926 [Steve Henson]
927
928 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
929
930 *) Fix various bugs:
931 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
932 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
933 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
934 + Fix ia64 assembler code
935 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
936
937 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
938
939 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
940 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
941 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
942 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
943 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
944 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
945 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
946 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
947 [Andy Polyakov]
948
949 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
950 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
951 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
952 Steve Henson]
953
954 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
955 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
956 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
957 supported.
958
959 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
960 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
961 SSL_SESSION.
962
963 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
964 protection in servers so again support should be possible
965 with no application modification.
966
967 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
968 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
969
970 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
971 or server extensions to be examined.
972
973 This work was sponsored by Google.
974 [Steve Henson]
975
976 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
977 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
978 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
979 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
980 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
981 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
982 server_name extension.
983
984 New functions (subject to change):
985
986 SSL_get_servername()
987 SSL_get_servername_type()
988 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
989
990 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
991
992 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
993 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
994 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
995 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
996 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
997
998 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
999
1000 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1001 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1002 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1003 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1004 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1005 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1006 option.
1007
1008 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1009
1010 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1011 [Steve Henson]
1012
1013 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1014 [Andy Polyakov]
1015
1016 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1017 (which previously caused an internal error).
1018 [Bodo Moeller]
1019
1020 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1021 [Ben Laurie]
1022
1023 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1024 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1025
1026 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1027 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1028 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1029
1030 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1031 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1032 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1033 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1034
1035 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1036 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1037 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1038 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1039
1040 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1041 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1042 information. For detailed background information, see
1043 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1044 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1045 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1046 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1047 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1048 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1049 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1050 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1051 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1052 remove a conditional branch.
1053
1054 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1055 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1056 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1057 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1058 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1059 remains as a deprecated alias.
1060
1061 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1062 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1063 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1064 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1065
1066 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1067 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1068 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1069 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1070 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1071 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1072 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1073 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1074
1075 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1076
1077 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1078 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1079 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1080 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1081 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1082 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1083 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1084 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1085 in a different context.
1086 [Bodo Moeller]
1087
1088 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1089 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1090 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1091 [Bodo Moeller]
1092
1093 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1094 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1095 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1096
1097 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1098
1099 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1100 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1101 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1102 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1103 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1104 [Victor Duchovni]
1105
1106 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1107 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1108 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1109 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1110 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1111 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1112 [Bodo Moeller]
1113
1114 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1115 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1116 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1117 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1118 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1119 [Bodo Moeller]
1120
1121 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1122 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1123
1124 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1125 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1126 Improve header file function name parsing.
1127 [Steve Henson]
1128
1129 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1130 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1131 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
1132
1133 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1134
1135 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1136 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1137 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1138
1139 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1140 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1141
1142 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1143 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1144
1145 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1146 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1147 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1148
1149 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1150 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1151 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1152 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1153 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1154 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1155 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1156 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1157 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1158
1159 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1160 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1161 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1162 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1163 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1164
1165 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1166 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1167 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1168 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1169 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1170 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1171 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1172 multiple values to extend the available space.
1173
1174 [Bodo Moeller]
1175
1176 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1177
1178 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1179 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1180
1181 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1182 [Ben Laurie]
1183
1184 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1185 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1186 undesirable limitations.
1187 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1188
1189 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1190 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1191 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1192 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1193 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1194 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1195 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1196 [Bodo Moeller]
1197
1198 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1199
1200 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1201 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1202 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1203
1204 The latter two were purportedly from
1205 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1206 appear there.
1207
1208 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1209 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1210 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1211 [Bodo Moeller]
1212
1213 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1214 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1215 [Bodo Moeller]
1216
1217 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1218 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1219 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1220 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1221
1222 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1223 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1224 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1225 [NTT]
1226
1227 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1228 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1229 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1230 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1231 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1232 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1233 [Steve Henson]
1234
1235 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1236
1237 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1238 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1239 [Steve Henson]
1240
1241 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1242 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1243
1244 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1245 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1246 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1247 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1248 [Douglas Stebila]
1249
1250 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1251 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1252 [Steve Henson]
1253
1254 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1255 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1256 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1257 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1258 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1259 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1260 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1261 can't be loaded.
1262 [Steve Henson]
1263
1264 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1265 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1266 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1267 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1268 [Steve Henson]
1269
1270 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1271 under VC++ build system.
1272 [Steve Henson]
1273
1274 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1275 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1276 [Richard Levitte]
1277
1278 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1279
1280 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1281 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1282 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1283 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1284 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1285
1286 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1287 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1288 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1289
1290 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1291 [Steve Henson]
1292
1293 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1294 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1295 [Nils Larsch]
1296
1297 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1298 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1299
1300 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1301 [Nick Mathewson]
1302
1303 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1304 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1305
1306 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1307 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1308 [Steve Henson]
1309
1310 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1311 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1312 smime utility.
1313 [Steve Henson]
1314
1315 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1316
1317 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1318 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
1319
1320 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1321 [Richard Levitte]
1322
1323 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1324 key into the same file any more.
1325 [Richard Levitte]
1326
1327 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1328 [Andy Polyakov]
1329
1330 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1331 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1332
1333 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1334 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1335 [Richard Levitte]
1336
1337 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1338 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1339 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1340 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1341 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1342 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1343
1344 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1345 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1346 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1347 [Steve Henson]
1348
1349 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1350 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1351 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1352 - add new function for parameter creation
1353 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1354 BN_BLINDING parameters
1355 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1356 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1357 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1358 threads.
1359 [Nils Larsch]
1360
1361 *) Add support for DTLS.
1362 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1363
1364 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1365 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1366 [Walter Goulet]
1367
1368 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1369 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1370 [Nils Larsch]
1371
1372 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1373 the apps/openssl applications.
1374 [Nils Larsch]
1375
1376 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1377 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1378 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1379 [Ben Laurie]
1380
1381 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1382 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1383
1384 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1385 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1386
1387 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1388 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1389 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1390 avoid this algorithm.)
1391
1392 [Bodo Moeller]
1393
1394 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1395 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1396 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1397 [Richard Levitte]
1398
1399 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1400 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1401 [Andy Polyakov]
1402
1403 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1404 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1405 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1406 pod file:
1407
1408 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1409
1410 The blank line is mandatory.
1411
1412 [Steve Henson]
1413
1414 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1415 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1416 sources.
1417 [Steve Henson]
1418
1419 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1420 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1421
1422 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1423 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1424 to support policy checking and print out.
1425 [Steve Henson]
1426
1427 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1428 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1429 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1430 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1431
1432 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1433 [Geoff Thorpe]
1434
1435 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1436 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1437
1438 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1439 implementation contributed by IBM.
1440 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1441
1442 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1443 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1444 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1445 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1446
1447 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1448 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1449
1450 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1451 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1452 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1453 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1454 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1455 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1456 [Steve Henson]
1457
1458 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1459 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1460 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1461 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1462 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1463 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1464 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1465 [Geoff Thorpe]
1466
1467 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1468 [Steve Henson]
1469
1470 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1471 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1472 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1473 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1474 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1475 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1476 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1477 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1478 [Steve Henson]
1479
1480 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1481 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1482 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1483 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1484 [Steve Henson]
1485
1486 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1487 syntax:
1488
1489 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1490 [Steve Henson]
1491
1492 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1493 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1494 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1495 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1496 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1497 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1498 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1499 [Geoff Thorpe]
1500
1501 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1502 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1503 [Geoff Thorpe]
1504
1505 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1506 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1507 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1508 [Steve Henson]
1509
1510 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1511 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1512 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1513 below).
1514 [Geoff Thorpe]
1515
1516 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1517 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1518 [Richard Levitte]
1519
1520 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1521 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1522 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1523 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1524 [Geoff Thorpe]
1525
1526 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1527 initialised value as BN_new().
1528 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1529
1530 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1531 [Steve Henson]
1532
1533 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1534 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1535 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1536 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1537 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1538 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1539 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1540 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1541 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1542 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1543 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1544 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1545 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1546 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1547 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1548
1549 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1550 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1551 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1552 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1553 [Geoff Thorpe]
1554
1555 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1556 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1557 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1558 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1559 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1560 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1561 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1562 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1563 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1564 [Geoff Thorpe]
1565
1566 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1567 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1568 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1569 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1570 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1571 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1572 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1573 [Geoff Thorpe]
1574
1575 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1576 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1577 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1578 these have been updated also.
1579 [Geoff Thorpe]
1580
1581 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1582 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1583 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1584 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1585 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1586 functions.
1587 [Steve Henson]
1588
1589 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1590 structure of type "other".
1591 [Steve Henson]
1592
1593 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1594 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1595 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1596 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1597 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1598 situation in the script.
1599 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1600
1601 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1602 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1603 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1604 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1605 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1606 used as premaster secret.
1607 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1608
1609 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1610 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1611 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1612
1613 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1614 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1615
1616 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1617 control of the error stack.
1618 [Richard Levitte]
1619
1620 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1621 [Richard Levitte]
1622
1623 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1624 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1625 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1626 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1627 [Richard Levitte]
1628
1629 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1630 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1631 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1632 [Richard Levitte]
1633
1634 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1635 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1636 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1637 a memory area.
1638 [Richard Levitte]
1639
1640 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1641 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1642 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1643 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1644 [Richard Levitte]
1645
1646 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1647 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1648 the following flags are defined:
1649
1650 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1651 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1652 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1653 number.
1654
1655 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1656 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1657 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1658 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1659 returns zero.
1660 [Richard Levitte]
1661
1662 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1663 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1664 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1665 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1666 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1667 [Richard Levitte]
1668
1669 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1670 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1671 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1672 [Richard Levitte]
1673
1674 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1675 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1676 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1677 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1678 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1679 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1680 [Richard Levitte]
1681
1682 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1683 req and dirName.
1684 [Steve Henson]
1685
1686 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1687 [Steve Henson]
1688
1689 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1690 [Steve Henson]
1691
1692 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1693 [Steve Henson]
1694
1695 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1696 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1697 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1698 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1699 default implementation more easily.
1700 [Geoff Thorpe]
1701
1702 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1703 in config files.
1704 [Steve Henson]
1705
1706 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1707 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1708 [Richard Levitte]
1709
1710 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1711 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1712 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1713 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1714
1715 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1716 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1717 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1718 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1719 [Steve Henson]
1720
1721 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1722 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1723 to do it.
1724 [Richard Levitte]
1725
1726 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1727 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1728 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1729 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1730 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1731 scalar * generator).
1732 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1733
1734 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1735 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1736 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1737 correctly.
1738 [Steve Henson]
1739
1740 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1741 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1742 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1743 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1744 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1745 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1746 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1747 linker additions, eg;
1748 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1749 [Geoff Thorpe]
1750
1751 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1752 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1753 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1754 [Geoff Thorpe]
1755
1756 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1757 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1758 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1759 via PR#459)
1760 [Lutz Jaenicke]
1761
1762 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1763 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1764 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1765 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1766 [Geoff Thorpe]
1767
1768 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1769 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1770 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1771 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1772 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1773 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1774 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1775 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1776 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1777 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1778
1779 Example for using the new callback interface:
1780
1781 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1782 void *my_arg = ...;
1783 BN_GENCB my_cb;
1784
1785 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1786
1787 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1788 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1789 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1790 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1791 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1792 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1793 */
1794
1795 [Geoff Thorpe]
1796
1797 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1798 available to TLS with the number defined in
1799 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1800 [Richard Levitte]
1801
1802 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1803 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1804
1805 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1806 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1807 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1808 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1809
1810 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1811 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1812
1813 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1814 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1815 well.
1816 [Richard Levitte]
1817
1818 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1819 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1820 [Richard Levitte]
1821
1822 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1823 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1824 and a macro that behave like
1825 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1826
1827 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1828 [Nils Larsch]
1829
1830 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1831 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1832 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1833 if applicable.
1834 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1835
1836 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1837 [Bodo Moeller]
1838
1839 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1840 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1841 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1842 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1843 directory engines/.
1844 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1845 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1846 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1847 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1848 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1849 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1850 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1851 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1852
1853 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1854 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1855 [Richard Levitte]
1856
1857 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1858 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1859
1860 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1861 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1862 files while avoiding the low level API.
1863
1864 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1865 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1866 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1867 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1868
1869 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1870 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1871 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1872 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1873 instead of the low level API.
1874 [Steve Henson]
1875
1876 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1877 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1878 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1879 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1880 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1881 PKCS#7 code.
1882
1883 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1884 down to the template encoder.
1885 [Steve Henson]
1886
1887 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1888 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1889 [Bodo Moeller]
1890
1891 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1892 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1893 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1894 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1895
1896 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1897 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1898
1899 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1900 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1901
1902 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1903 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1904 [Bodo Moeller]
1905
1906 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1907 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1908 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1909 [Bodo Moeller]
1910
1911 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1912 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1913
1914 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1915 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1916
1917 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1918 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1919 New EC_METHOD:
1920
1921 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1922
1923 New API functions:
1924
1925 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1926 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1927 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1928 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1929 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1930 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1931
1932 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1933 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1934 enable it).
1935
1936 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1937 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1938 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1939 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1940 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1941 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1942 various internal method names.)
1943
1944 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1945 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1946
1947 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1948 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1949
1950 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1951 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1952
1953 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1954 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1955 methods are undefined.
1956
1957 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1958 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1959
1960 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1961 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1962 length of the modulus.
1963
1964 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1965 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1966
1967 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1968 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1969
1970 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1971 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1972
1973 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1974 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1975 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1976
1977 BN_GF2m_add
1978 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1979 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1980 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1981 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1982 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
1983 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1984 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1985 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1986 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1987
1988 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1989 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1990
1991 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1992 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1993 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1994 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1995 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1996 where
1997 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1998 This applies to the following functions:
1999
2000 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
2001 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
2002 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
2003 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2004 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2005 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
2006 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2007 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2008 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2009 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2010
2011 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2012
2013 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
2014 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
2015
2016 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2017
2018 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2019 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2020 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2021 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2022 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2023
2024 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2025 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2026
2027 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2028 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2029 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2030
2031 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2032 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2033
2034 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2035 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2036 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2037 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2038 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2039
2040 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2041 functions
2042 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2043 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2044 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2045 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2046 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2047 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2048 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2049 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2050 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2051 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2052 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2053 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2054
2055 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2056 functions
2057 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
2058 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2059 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2060 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2061 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2062
2063 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2064 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2065 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2066 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2067
2068 *) Add functions
2069 EC_POINT_point2bn()
2070 EC_POINT_bn2point()
2071 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2072 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2073 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2074 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2075 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2076
2077 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2078 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2079 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2080 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2081 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2082 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2083 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2084 adding different types of curves.
2085 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2086
2087 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2088 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2089 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2090 [Bodo Moeller]
2091
2092 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2093 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2094
2095 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2096 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2097 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2098 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2099
2100 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2101
2102 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2103 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2104
2105 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2106 library. Most notably,
2107 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2108 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2109 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2110 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2111 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2112 extracted before the specific public key;
2113 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2114 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2115
2116 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2117 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2118 function
2119 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2120 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2121 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2122 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2123 accessed via
2124 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2125 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2126 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2127
2128 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2129 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2130 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2131 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2132 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2133 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2134 differing sizes.
2135 [Richard Levitte]
2136
2137 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2138
2139 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2140 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2141 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2142 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2143 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2144 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2145 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2146 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2147 in a different context.
2148 [Bodo Moeller]
2149
2150 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2151
2152 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2153 sensitive data.
2154 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2155
2156 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2157 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2158 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2159 [Bodo Moeller]
2160
2161 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2162 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2163 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2164 [Victor Duchovni]
2165
2166 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2167 [Steve Henson]
2168
2169 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2170 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2171 [Steve Henson]
2172
2173 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2174 run algorithm test programs.
2175 [Steve Henson]
2176
2177 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2181 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2182 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2183 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2184 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2185 [Bodo Moeller]
2186
2187 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2188 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2189 [Steve Henson]
2190
2191 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2192
2193 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2194 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2195 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2196
2197 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2198 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2199
2200 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2201 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2202
2203 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2204 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2205 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2206
2207 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2208 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2209 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2210 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2211 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2212 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2213 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2214 [Bodo Moeller]
2215
2216 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2217
2218 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2219 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2220
2221 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2222 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2223 undesirable limitations.
2224 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2225
2226 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2227
2228 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2229 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2230 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2231
2232 The latter two were purportedly from
2233 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2234 appear there.
2235
2236 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2237 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2238 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2239 [Bodo Moeller]
2240
2241 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2242 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2243 [Bodo Moeller]
2244
2245 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2246
2247 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2248 module in FIPS mode.
2249 [Steve Henson]
2250
2251 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2252 [Steve Henson]
2253
2254 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2255 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2256 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2257 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2258 [Steve Henson]
2259
2260 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2261
2262 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2263 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2264 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2265 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2266 the difference induced by this change.
2267 [Andy Polyakov]
2268
2269 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2270
2271 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2272 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2273 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2274 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2275 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2276
2277 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2278 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2279 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2280
2281 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2282 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2283 [Steve Henson]
2284
2285 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2286 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2287 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2288 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2289 biased k.)
2290 [Bodo Moeller]
2291
2292 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2293 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2294 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2295 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2296 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2297
2298 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2299 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2300 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2301 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2302 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2303 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2304
2305 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2306
2307 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2308 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2309 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2310 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2311 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2312 [Bodo Moeller]
2313
2314 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2315 clients need.
2316 [Steve Henson]
2317
2318 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2319 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2320 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2321 [Steve Henson]
2322
2323 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2324 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2325 structures constant.
2326 [Steve Henson]
2327
2328 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2329
2330 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2331 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
2332
2333 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2334 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2335 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2336 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2337 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2338 some needed definitions.
2339 [Steve Henson]
2340
2341 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2342 [Ulf Möller]
2343
2344 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2345 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2346 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2347 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2348 [Richard Levitte]
2349
2350 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2351
2352 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2353 server and client random values. Previously
2354 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2355 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2356
2357 This change has negligible security impact because:
2358
2359 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2360 data.
2361
2362 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2363 handshake.
2364
2365 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2366 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2367 values.
2368
2369 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2370 to our attention.
2371
2372 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2373
2374 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2375 [Ulf Möller]
2376
2377 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2378 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2379 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2380
2381 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2382 [Steve Henson]
2383
2384 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2385 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2386 [Andy Polyakov]
2387
2388 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2389 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2390 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2391
2392 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2393 [Steve Henson]
2394
2395 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2396 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2397 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2398 certificates.
2399 [Steve Henson]
2400
2401 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2402 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2403 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2404 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2405
2406 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2407 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2408 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2409 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2410 been given)
2411 [Richard Levitte]
2412
2413 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2414
2415 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2416 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2417 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2418 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2419 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2420 [Steve Henson]
2421
2422 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2423 [Steve Henson]
2424
2425 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2426 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2427
2428 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2429 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2430 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2431 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2432 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2433 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2434 rather than being initialized to 1.
2435 [Steve Henson]
2436
2437 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2438
2439 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2440 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2441 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2442
2443 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2444 (CVE-2004-0112)
2445 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2446
2447 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2448 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2449 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2450 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2451 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2452 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2453 [Richard Levitte]
2454
2455 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2456 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2457 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2458 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2459 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2460 for these cases.
2461 [Steve Henson]
2462
2463 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2464 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2465 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2466 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2467 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2468 [Steve Henson]
2469
2470 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2471 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2472 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2473 < 0.9.7.
2474 [Steve Henson]
2475
2476 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2477 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2478
2479 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2480 [Steve Henson]
2481
2482 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2483
2484 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2485
2486 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2487 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2488
2489 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2490
2491 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2492 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2493
2494 [Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2497 exiting on the first error in a request.
2498 [Steve Henson]
2499
2500 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2501 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2502 specifications.
2503 [Steve Henson]
2504
2505 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2506 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2507 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2508 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2509
2510 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2511 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2512 [Richard Levitte]
2513
2514 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2515 blocks during encryption.
2516 [Richard Levitte]
2517
2518 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2519 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2520 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2521 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2522 certain size.
2523 [Steve Henson]
2524
2525 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2526 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2527 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2528 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2529 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2530 parser.
2531 [Steve Henson]
2532
2533 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2534
2535 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2536 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2537 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2538 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2539 [Bodo Moeller]
2540
2541 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2542 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2543 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2544 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2545 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2546
2547 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2548 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2549 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2550 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2551 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2552 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2553 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2554 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2555 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2556 [Bodo Moeller]
2557
2558 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2559 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2560 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2561 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2562 [Geoff Thorpe]
2563
2564 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2565 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2566 [Ulf Moeller]
2567
2568 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2569
2570 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2571 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2572 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2573 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2574 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2575
2576 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2577 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2578 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2579
2580 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2581 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2582 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2583 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2584 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2585
2586 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2587 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2588 used by default when no-err is given.
2589 [Richard Levitte]
2590
2591 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2592 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2593
2594 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2595 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2596 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2597 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2598 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2599
2600 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2601 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2602 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2603 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2604
2605 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2606
2607 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2608
2609 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2610
2611 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2612 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2613 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2614 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2615 root is omitted).
2616 [Steve Henson]
2617
2618 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2619 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2620
2621 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2622 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2623 [Steve Henson]
2624
2625 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2626 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2627 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2628 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2629 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2630
2631 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2632 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2633 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2634 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2635 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2636 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2637 followup to PR #377.
2638 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2639
2640 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2641 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2642 [Andy Polyakov]
2643
2644 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2645 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2646 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2647 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2648
2649 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2650
2651 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2652 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
2653
2654 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2655 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2656 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2657 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2658 client and server.
2659 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2660 PR #377.
2661 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2662
2663 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2664 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2665 removed entirely.
2666 [Richard Levitte]
2667
2668 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2669 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2670 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2671 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2672 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2673 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2674 of libcrypto.
2675 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2676 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2677 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2678 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2679 have to be made anyway).
2680 [Richard Levitte]
2681
2682 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2683 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2684 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2685 [Steve Henson]
2686
2687 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2688 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2689 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2690 [Richard Levitte]
2691
2692 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2693 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2694 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2695
2696 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2697 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2698 edit numbers of the version.
2699 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2700
2701 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2702 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2703 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2704
2705 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2706 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2707
2708 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2709 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2710 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2711
2712 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2713 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2714
2715 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2716 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2717
2718 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2719 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2720
2721 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2722 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2723
2724 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2725 overflows.
2726 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2727
2728 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2729 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2731
2732 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2733 representations in a platform independent manner.
2734 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2735
2736 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2737 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2738 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2739
2740 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2741 indents.
2742 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2743
2744 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2745 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2746
2747 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2748 full. Fixed.
2749 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2750
2751 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2752 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2753 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2754
2755 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2756 unconditionally).
2757 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2758
2759 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2760 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2761
2762 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2763 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2764
2765 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2766 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2767
2768 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
2769 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2770
2771 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2772 CBCParameter.
2773 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2774
2775 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2776 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2777
2778 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
2779 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2780
2781 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2782 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2783 exploitable.
2784 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2785
2786 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2787 the 0.9.6 release series:
2788
2789 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2790 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2791 (CVE-2002-0657)
2792 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2793
2794 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2795 [Richard Levitte]
2796
2797 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2798 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2799
2800 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2801 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2802
2803 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2804 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2805 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2806 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2807
2808 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2809 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2810 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2811
2812 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2813 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2814 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2815 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2816
2817 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2818 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2819 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2820 some local tweaks:
2821
2822 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2823 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2824 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2825 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2826 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2827 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2828 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2829 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2830 done
2831
2832 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2833 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2834 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2835 [Richard Levitte]
2836
2837 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2838 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2839 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2840 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2841 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2842
2843 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2844 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2845
2846 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2847 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2848 [Richard Levitte]
2849
2850 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2851 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2852 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2853 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2854 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2855 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2856 [Steve Henson]
2857
2858 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2859 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2860 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2861 [Steve Henson]
2862
2863 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2864 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2865 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2866
2867 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2868 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2869 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2870 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2871 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2872 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2873 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2874 [Lutz Jaenicke]
2875
2876 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2877 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2878 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2879 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2880 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2881 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2882 [Steve Henson]
2883
2884 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2885 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2886 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2887 declaration has been changed from
2888 int (*cb)()
2889 into
2890 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2891 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2892 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2893 has been changed into
2894 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2895
2896 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2897 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2898 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2899
2900 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2901 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2902
2903 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2904 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2905 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2906 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2907 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2908 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2909 always load it have also been added.
2910 [Steve Henson]
2911
2912 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2913 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2914 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2915
2916 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2917
2918 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2919 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2920 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2921
2922 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2923 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2924 command line option can be used to specify an
2925 alternative file.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2929 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2930 [Steve Henson]
2931
2932 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2933 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2934 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2935 [Steve Henson]
2936
2937 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2938 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2939 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2940 to work with the new engine framework.
2941 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2942
2943 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2944 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2945 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2946 to work with the new engine framework.
2947 [Richard Levitte]
2948
2949 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2950 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2951 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2952
2953 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2954 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2955
2956 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2957 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2958 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2959 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2960 FORMAT_IISSGC.
2961 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2962
2963 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2964 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2965
2966 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2967 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2968
2969 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2970 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2971 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2972 [Ben Laurie]
2973
2974 *) Add new functions
2975 ERR_peek_last_error
2976 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2977 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2978 These are similar to
2979 ERR_peek_error
2980 ERR_peek_error_line
2981 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2982 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2983 still in the error queue.
2984 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2985
2986 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2987 like:
2988 default_algorithms = ALL
2989 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2990 [Steve Henson]
2991
2992 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2993 [Steve Henson]
2994
2995 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2999 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3000 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3001 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3002
3003 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3004 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3005
3006 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3007 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3008
3009 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3010 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3011 [Bodo Moeller]
3012
3013 *) New functions/macros
3014
3015 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3016 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3017 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3018 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3019
3020 to request calling a callback function
3021
3022 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3023 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3024
3025 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3026 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3027 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3028 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3029 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3030 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3031 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3032 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3033 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3034 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3035
3036 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3037 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3038 [Bodo Moeller]
3039
3040 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3041 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3042 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3043 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3044 the configuration scripts.
3045
3046 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3047 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3048 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3049
3050 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3051 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3052
3053 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3054 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3055 when reusing an existing buffer.
3056 [Bodo Moeller]
3057
3058 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3059 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3060 [Steve Henson]
3061
3062 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3063 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3064 [Ben Laurie]
3065
3066 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3067 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3068 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3069 has the same effect.
3070 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3071
3072 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3073 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3074 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3075 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3076 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3077 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3078 exception.
3079
3080 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3081 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3082 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3083 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3084
3085 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3086 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3087 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3088 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3089
3090 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3091 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3092 won't work.
3093
3094 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3095 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3096 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3097 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3098 default), and then completely removed.
3099 [Richard Levitte]
3100
3101 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3102 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3103 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3104 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3105 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3106 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3107 particular extension is supported.
3108 [Steve Henson]
3109
3110 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3111 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3112 [Steve Henson]
3113
3114 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3115 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3116 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3117 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3118 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3119 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3120 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3121 requires the destination to be valid.
3122
3123 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3124 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3125 [Steve Henson]
3126
3127 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3128 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3129 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3130 [Bodo Moeller]
3131
3132 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3133 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3134
3135 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3136 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3137 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3138 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3139 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3140 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3141 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3142 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3143 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3144 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3145 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3146 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3147 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3148 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3149 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3150 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3151 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3152 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3153 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3154 the new code.
3155 [Geoff Thorpe]
3156
3157 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3158 [Steve Henson]
3159
3160 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3161 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3162 become part of libeay.num as well.
3163 [Richard Levitte]
3164
3165 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3166 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3167 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3168 false once a handshake has been completed.
3169 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3170 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3171 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3172 client has followed the request.)
3173 [Bodo Moeller]
3174
3175 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3176 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3177 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3178 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3179
3180 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3181 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3182 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3183 [Bodo Moeller]
3184
3185 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3186 [Steve Henson]
3187
3188 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3189 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3190 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3191 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3192
3193 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3194 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3195 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3196
3197 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3198 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3199 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3200 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3201 [Geoff Thorpe]
3202
3203 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3204 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3205 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3206 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3207 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3208 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3209 [Geoff Thorpe]
3210
3211 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3212 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3213 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3214 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3215 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3216 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3217 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3218 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3219 [Geoff Thorpe]
3220
3221 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3222 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3223 [Geoff Thorpe]
3224
3225 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3226 [Ben Laurie]
3227
3228 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3229 md_data void pointer.
3230 [Ben Laurie]
3231
3232 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3233 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3234 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3235 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3236 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3237 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3238 [Ben Laurie]
3239
3240 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3241 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3242 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3243 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3244 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3245 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3246 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3247 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3248 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3249 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3250 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3251 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3252 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3253 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3254 rather than letting it slide.
3255
3256 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3257 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3258 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3259 [Geoff Thorpe]
3260
3261 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3262 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3263 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3264 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3265 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3266 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3267 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3268 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3269 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3270 [Geoff Thorpe]
3271
3272 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3273 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3274 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3275 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3276 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3277
3278 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3279 [Geoff Thorpe]
3280
3281 *) Add EVP test program.
3282 [Ben Laurie]
3283
3284 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3285 [Ben Laurie]
3286
3287 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3288 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3289 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3290 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3291 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3292 [Steve Henson]
3293
3294 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3295 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3296 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3297 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3298 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3299 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3300 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3301
3302 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3303 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3304 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3305 Usage example:
3306
3307 EVP_MD_CTX md;
3308
3309 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3310 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3311 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3312 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3313 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3314
3315 [Ben Laurie]
3316
3317 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3318 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3319 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3320 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3321 anyway): E.g.,
3322
3323 des_key_schedule ks;
3324
3325 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3326 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3327
3328 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3329 [Ben Laurie]
3330
3331 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3332 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3333 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3334 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3335 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3336 functions prevents this.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3340 [Ben Laurie]
3341
3342 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3343 correct _ecb suffix.
3344 [Ben Laurie]
3345
3346 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3347 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3348 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3349 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3350 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3351 [Steve Henson]
3352
3353 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3354 [Richard Levitte]
3355
3356 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3357 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3358 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3359 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3360
3361 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3362 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3363
3364 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3365 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3366 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3367 via Richard Levitte]
3368
3369 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3370 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3371 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3372 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3373 [Geoff Thorpe]
3374
3375 *) Speed up EVP routines.

3391 [Ben Laurie]
3392
3393 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3394 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3395
3396 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3397 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3398 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3399 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3400 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3401 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3402 [Steve Henson]
3403
3404 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3405 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3406 [Richard Levitte]
3407
3408 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3409 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3410 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3411 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3412
3413 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3414 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3415 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3416 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3417 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3418 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3419 callback.
3420 [Richard Levitte]
3421
3422 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3423 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3424 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3425 and interrupts/cancellations.
3426 [Richard Levitte]
3427
3428 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3429 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3430 [Steve Henson]
3431
3432 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3433 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3434 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3435
3436 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3437 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3438 kind of callback.
3439 [Richard Levitte]
3440
3441 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3442 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3443 than this minimum value is recommended.
3444 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3445
3446 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3447 that are easily reachable.
3448 [Richard Levitte]
3449
3450 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3451 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3452
3453 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3454
3455 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3456 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3457 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3458 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3459 [Steve Henson]
3460
3461 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3462 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3463 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3464 [Steve Henson]
3465
3466 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3467 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3468 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3469 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3470 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3471 internally such as S/MIME.
3472
3473 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3474 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3475 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3476
3477 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3478 applications.
3479 [Steve Henson]
3480
3481 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3482 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3483 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3484 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3485
3486 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3487
3488 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3489
3490 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3491 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3492 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3493 handling.
3494 [Steve Henson]
3495
3496 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3497 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3498 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3499 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3500 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3501 a window system and the like.
3502 [Richard Levitte]
3503
3504 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3505 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3506 [Geoff]
3507
3508 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3509 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3510 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3511 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3512 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3513 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3514 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3515 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3516 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3517 ENGINE structure.
3518 [Geoff]
3519
3520 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3521 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3522 tag cache.
3523 [Steve Henson]
3524
3525 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3526 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3527 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3528 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3529 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3530 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3531 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3532 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3533 [Geoff]
3534
3535 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3536 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3537 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3538 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3539 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3540 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3541 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3542 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3543 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3544 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3545 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3546 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3547 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3548 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3549 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3550 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3551 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3552 [Geoff]
3553
3554 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3555 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3556 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3557 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3558 internal engine_int.h header.
3559 [Geoff]
3560
3561 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3562 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3563 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3564 modify their own ones).
3565 [Geoff]
3566
3567 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3568 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3569 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3570 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3571 later on via ctrl() commands.
3572 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3573 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3574 structural references.
3575 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3576 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3577 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3578 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3579 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3580 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3581 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3582 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3583 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3584 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3585 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3586 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3587 [Geoff]
3588
3589 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3590 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3591 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3592 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3593 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3594 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3595 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3596 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3597 [Bodo Moeller]
3598
3599 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3600 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3601 [Steve Henson]
3602
3603 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3604 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3608 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3609 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3610 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3611 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3612 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3613 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3617 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3618 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3619 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3620 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3621
3622 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3623 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3624 generator).
3625 [Bodo Moeller]
3626
3627 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3628
3629 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3630 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3631 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3632
3633 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3634 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3635
3636 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3637 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3638 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3639
3640 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3641 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3642
3643 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3644 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3645
3646 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3647
3648 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3649 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3650 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3651 [Bodo Moeller]
3652
3653 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3654 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3655 [Richard Levitte]
3656
3657 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3658 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3659 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3660 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3661 is 40 of more characters long.
3662 [Steve Henson]
3663
3664 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3665 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3666 pointers.
3667 [Steve Henson]
3668
3669 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3670 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3671 [Bodo Moeller]
3672
3673 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3674 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3675 might.
3676 [Steve Henson]
3677
3678 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3679
3680 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3681 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3682
3683 ASN1 error codes
3684 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3685 ...
3686 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3687 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3688 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3689 ...
3690 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3691 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3692
3693 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3694 [Bodo Moeller]
3695
3696 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3697 suffices.
3698 [Bodo Moeller]
3699
3700 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3701 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3702 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3703 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3704 and
3705 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3706
3707 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3708 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3709
3710 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3711 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3712 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3713 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3714 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3715 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3716
3717 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3718 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3719
3720 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3721 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3722
3723 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3724 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3725
3726 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3727 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3728 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3729 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3730
3731 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3732 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3733
3734 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3735 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3736
3737 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3738 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3739 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3740 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3741 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3742 [Richard Levitte]
3743
3744 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3745 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3746 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3747 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3748 [Steve Henson]
3749
3750 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3751 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3752 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3753 trust settings.
3754 [Steve Henson]
3755
3756 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3757 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3758 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3759 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3760 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3761 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3762 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3763 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3764 ocsp utility.
3765 [Steve Henson]
3766
3767 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3768 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3769 [Steve Henson]
3770
3771 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3772 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3773 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3774 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3775 [Steve Henson]
3776
3777 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3778 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3779 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3780 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3781 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3782 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3783 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3784 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3785 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3786 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3787 [Steve Henson]
3788
3789 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3790 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3791 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3792 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3793 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3794 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3795 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3796 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3797
3798 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3799 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3800 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3801 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3802 [Richard Levitte]
3803
3804 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3805 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3806 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3807 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3808 opensslconf.h.
3809 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3810 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3811 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3812 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3813 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3814 what is available.
3815 [Richard Levitte]
3816
3817 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3818 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3819 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3820 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3821 auto incremented.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3825 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3826 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3830 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3831 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3832 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3833 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3834 [Steve Henson]
3835
3836 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3837 [Steve Henson]
3838
3839 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3840 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3841 option to ocsp utility.
3842 [Steve Henson]
3843
3844 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3845 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3846 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3847 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3848 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3849 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3850 the request is nonce-less.
3851 [Steve Henson]
3852
3853 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3854 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3855 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3856 [Bodo Moeller]
3857
3858 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3859 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3860 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3861 [Steve Henson]
3862
3863 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3864 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3865 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3866 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3867 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3868 [Lutz Jaenicke]
3869
3870 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3871 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3872 appear to exist.
3873 [Steve Henson]
3874
3875 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3876 additional certificates supplied.
3877 [Steve Henson]
3878
3879 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3880 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3881 signature against.
3882 [Richard Levitte]
3883
3884 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3885 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3886 AES OIDs.
3887
3888 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3889 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3890 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3891 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3892 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3893 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3894 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3895 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3896 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3897
3898 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3899 request to response.
3900 [Steve Henson]
3901
3902 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3903 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3904 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3905 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3906 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3907 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3908 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3909 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3910 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3911 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3912 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3913 [Steve Henson]
3914
3915 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3916 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3917 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3918 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3919 [Steve Henson]
3920
3921 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3922 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3923
3924 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3925 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3926 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3927 [Steve Henson]
3928
3929 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3930 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3931 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3932 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3933 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3934
3935 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3936 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3937 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3938 [Steve Henson]
3939
3940 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3941 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3942 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3943 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3944 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3945 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3946 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3947 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3948
3949 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3950 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3951 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3952 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3953 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3954 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3955 [Steve Henson]
3956
3957 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3958 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3959 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3960 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3961 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3962 printout format cleaned up.
3963 [Steve Henson]
3964
3965 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3966 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3967 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3968 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3969 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3970 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3971 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3972 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3973 [Steve Henson]
3974
3975 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3976 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3977 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3978 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3979 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3980 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3981 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3982 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3986 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3987 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3988 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3989 section to use.
3990 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3991
3992 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3993 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3994 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3995 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3996 [Steve Henson]
3997
3998 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3999 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4000 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4001 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4002 in the index file.
4003 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4004
4005 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4006 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4007 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4008 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4009
4010 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4011 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4012
4013 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4014 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4015 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4016 [Steve Henson]
4017
4018 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4019 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4020 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4021 [Bodo Moeller]
4022
4023 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4024 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4025 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4026 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4027 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4028 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4029 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4030 functions are provided:
4031
4032 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4033 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4034 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4035 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4036
4037 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4038 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4039 extended allocation function is enabled.
4040 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4041 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4042 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4043
4044 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4045 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4046 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4047 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4048 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4049 [Geoff Thorpe]
4050
4051 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4052 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4053 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4054 be queried.
4055 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4056 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4057 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4058 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4059
4060 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4061 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4062 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4063 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4064 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4065 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4066 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4067 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4068 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4069 [Richard Levitte]
4070
4071 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4072 provide utility functions which an application needing
4073 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4074 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4075 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4076
4077 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4078 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4079 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4080 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4081 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4082 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4083 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4084 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4085 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4086
4087 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4088 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4089 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4090 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4091 [Steve Henson]
4092
4093 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4094 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4095 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4096 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4097 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4098 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4099 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4100 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4101 will be added elsewhere.
4102 [Steve Henson]
4103
4104 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4105 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4106 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4107 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4108 [Steve Henson]
4109
4110 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4111 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4112 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4113 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4114 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4115 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4116 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4117 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4118 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4119 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4120 to produce the required SET OF.
4121 [Steve Henson]
4122
4123 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4124 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4125 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4126 [Richard Levitte]
4127
4128 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4129 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4130 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4131 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4132 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4133 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4134 [Steve Henson]
4135
4136 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4137 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4138 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4139 [Steve Henson]
4140
4141 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4142 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4143 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4144 [Richard Levitte]
4145
4146 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4147 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4148 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4149 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4150 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4151 [Steve Henson]
4152
4153 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4154 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4155 [Steve Henson]
4156
4157 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4158 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4159 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4160 certifcates and CRLs.
4161 [Steve Henson]
4162
4163 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4164 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4165 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4166 [Steve Henson]
4167
4168 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4169 entries for variables.
4170 [Steve Henson]
4171
4172 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4173 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4174 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4175 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4176 [Bodo Moeller]
4177
4178 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4179 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4180 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4181 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4182 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4183 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4184 [Bodo Moeller]
4185
4186 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4187 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4188
4189 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4190 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4191 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4192 [Steve Henson]
4193
4194 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4195 print routines.
4196 [Steve Henson]
4197
4198 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4199 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4200 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4201 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4202 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4203 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4204 [Steve Henson]
4205
4206 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4207 [Steve Henson]
4208
4209 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4210 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4211 for now but they will eventually go away.
4212 [Steve Henson]
4213
4214 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4215 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4216 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4217 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4218 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4219 has also been converted to the new form.
4220 [Steve Henson]
4221
4222 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4223 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4224 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4225 for negative moduli.
4226 [Bodo Moeller]
4227
4228 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4229 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4230 [Bodo Moeller]
4231
4232 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4233 set.
4234 [Bodo Moeller]
4235
4236 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4237 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4238 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4239 type-specific callbacks.
4240 [Geoff Thorpe]
4241
4242 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4243 RFC 2712.
4244 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4245 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4246
4247 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4248 in sections depending on the subject.
4249 [Richard Levitte]
4250
4251 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4252 Windows.
4253 [Richard Levitte]
4254
4255 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4256 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4257 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4258 be handled deterministically).
4259 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4260
4261 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4262 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4263 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4264 [Bodo Moeller]
4265
4266 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4267 [Bodo Moeller]
4268
4269 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4270 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4271 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4272 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4273 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4274 [Bodo Moeller]
4275
4276 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4277 sign of the number in question.
4278
4279 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4280
4281 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4282 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4283 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4284 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4285 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4286 [Bodo Moeller]
4287
4288 *) New function BN_swap.
4289 [Bodo Moeller]
4290
4291 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4292 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4293 results on negative inputs.
4294 [Bodo Moeller]
4295
4296 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4297 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4298 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4299 [Bodo Moeller]
4300
4301 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4302 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4303 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4304 and add new functions:
4305
4306 BN_nnmod
4307 BN_mod_sqr
4308 BN_mod_add
4309 BN_mod_add_quick
4310 BN_mod_sub
4311 BN_mod_sub_quick
4312 BN_mod_lshift1
4313 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4314 BN_mod_lshift
4315 BN_mod_lshift_quick
4316
4317 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4318
4319 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4320 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4321
4322 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4323 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4324 be reduced modulo m.
4325 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4326
4327 #if 0
4328 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4329 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4330 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4331
4332 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4333 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4334 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4335 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4336 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4337 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4338 differing sizes.
4339 [Richard Levitte]
4340 #endif
4341
4342 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4343 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4344 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4345 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4346 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4347
4348 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4349 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4350 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4351 cause any problems.
4352 [Bodo Moeller]
4353
4354 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4355 [Richard Levitte]
4356
4357 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4358 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4359 [Richard Levitte]
4360
4361 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4362 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4363 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4364 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4365 time)
4366 [Richard Levitte]
4367
4368 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4369 [Richard Levitte]
4370
4371 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4372 [Richard Levitte]
4373
4374 *) Add the following functions:
4375
4376 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4377 ENGINE_load_chil()
4378 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4379 ENGINE_load_nuron()
4380 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4381
4382 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4383 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4384 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4385 libraries unless it's really needed.
4386
4387 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4388 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4389 declarations (they differed!).
4390 [Richard Levitte]
4391
4392 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4393 [Richard Levitte]
4394
4395 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4396 [Richard Levitte]
4397
4398 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4399 [Bodo Moeller]
4400
4401 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4402 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4403 [Richard Levitte]
4404
4405 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4406 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4407 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4408
4409 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4410 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4411 [Richard Levitte]
4412
4413 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4414 [Richard Levitte]
4415
4416 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4417 [Richard Levitte]
4418
4419 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4420 [Ben Laurie]
4421
4422 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4423 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4424 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4425
4426 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4427 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4428 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4429 different shared library filenames on each system.
4430 [Geoff Thorpe]
4431
4432 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4433 [Richard Levitte]
4434
4435 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4436 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4437 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4438 of two sections.
4439 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4440
4441 *) NCONF changes.
4442 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4443 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4444 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4445 binary backward compatibility.
4446 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4447 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4448 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4449 LDAP server.
4450 [Richard Levitte]
4451
4452 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4453 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4454 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4455 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4456 this case.
4457 [Steve Henson]
4458
4459 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4460 [Ben Laurie]
4461
4462 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4463 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4464 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4465 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4466 set.
4467 [Steve Henson]
4468
4469 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4470 [Richard Levitte]
4471
4472 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4473
4474 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4475 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4476 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4477
4478 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4479
4480 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4481
4482 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4483 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4484 [Steve Henson]
4485
4486 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4487
4488 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4489
4490 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4491 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4492
4493 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4494 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4495
4496 [Steve Henson]
4497
4498 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4499 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4500 specifications.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4504 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4505 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4506 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4507
4508 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4509 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4510 [Richard Levitte]
4511
4512 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4513
4514 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4515 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4516 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4517 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4518 [Bodo Moeller]
4519
4520 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4521 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4522 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4523 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4524 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4525
4526 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4527 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4528 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4529 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4530 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4531 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4532 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4533 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4534 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4535 [Bodo Moeller]
4536
4537 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4538
4539 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4540 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4541 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4542 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4543 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4544
4545 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4546 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4547 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4548
4549 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4550
4551 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4552 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4553 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4554 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4555 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4556 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4557 [Geoff Thorpe]
4558
4559 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4560 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4561 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4562 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4563 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4564 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4565
4566 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4567 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4568 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4569
4570 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4571 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4572 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4573 EVP_cleanup().
4574 [Richard Levitte]
4575
4576 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4577 being properly terminated.
4578 [Richard Levitte]
4579
4580 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4581 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4582 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4583 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4584
4585 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4586 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4587 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4588 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4589 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4590 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4591 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4592 change.
4593 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4594
4595 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4596 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4597 [Bodo Moeller]
4598
4599 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4600 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4601 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4602 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4603 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4604 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4605 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4606 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4607
4608 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4609 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4610 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4611 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4612 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4613
4614 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4615 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4616 [Steve Henson]
4617
4618 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4619
4620 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4621 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4622 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4623
4624 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4625
4626 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4627 and get fix the header length calculation.
4628 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4629 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4630 Steve Henson]
4631
4632 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4633 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4634 assertions could call abort()).
4635 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4636
4637 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4638
4639 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4640 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4641 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4642 supplied buffer.
4643 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4644
4645 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4646 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4647 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4648 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4649
4650 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4651 [Nils Larsch]
4652
4653 *) New option
4654 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4655 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4656 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4657
4658 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4659 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4660 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4661 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4662 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4663 applications.
4664 [Bodo Moeller]
4665
4666 *) Changes in security patch:
4667
4668 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4669 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4670 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4671 F30602-01-2-0537.
4672
4673 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4674 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4675 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4676 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4677 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4678
4679 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4680 happen in practice.
4681 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4682
4683 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4684 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4685 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4686
4687 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4688 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4689 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4690
4691 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4692 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4693 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4694
4695 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4696
4697 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4698 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4699 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4700
4701 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4702 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4703
4704 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4705 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4706 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4707 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4708 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4709 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4710 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4711
4712 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4713 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4714 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4715 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4716 [Bodo Moeller]
4717
4718 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4719 [Bodo Moeller]
4720
4721 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4722 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4723 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4724 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4725 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4726 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4727
4728 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4729 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4730 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4731 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4732 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4733 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4734
4735 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4736 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4737 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4738 BN_generate_prime().)
4739
4740 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4741 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4742 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4743 better.
4744 [Bodo Moeller]
4745
4746 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4747 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4748 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4749
4750 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4751 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4752 when using non-blocking I/O.
4753 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4754
4755 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4756 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4757
4758 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4759 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4760 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4761
4762 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4763 configuration for the versions before that.
4764 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4765
4766 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4767 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4768 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4769 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4770 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4771
4772 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4773 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4774 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4775 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4776
4777 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4778 value is 0.
4779 [Richard Levitte]
4780
4781 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4782 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4783 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4784
4785 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4786 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4787
4788 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4789 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4790 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4791 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4792 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4793 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4794 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4795 session cache.
4796
4797 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4798 using a local variable.
4799 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4800
4801 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4802 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4803 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4804
4805 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4806 [Richard Levitte]
4807
4808 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4809 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4810
4811 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4812 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4813 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4814
4815 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4816
4817 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4818 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4819 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4820 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4821 [Bodo Moeller]
4822
4823 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4824 present.
4825 [Steve Henson]
4826
4827 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4828 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4829 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4830 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4831 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4832
4833 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4834 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4835 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4836
4837 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4838 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4839 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4840
4841 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4842 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4843 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4844 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4845
4846 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4847 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4848 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4849 modules).
4850 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4851
4852 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4853 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4854 from 0.9.7.
4855 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4856
4857 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4858 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4859 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4860 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4861
4862 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4863 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4864 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4865 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4866
4867 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4868 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4869
4870 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4871 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4872 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4873 [Bodo Moeller]
4874
4875 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4876 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4877 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4878 become invalid.
4879 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4880
4881 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4882 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4883 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4884 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4885 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4886 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4887 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4888 [Bodo Moeller]
4889
4890 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4891 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4892 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4893 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4894
4895 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4896 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4897 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4898 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4899 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4900 the client will at least see that alert.
4901 [Bodo Moeller]
4902
4903 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4904 correctly.
4905 [Bodo Moeller]
4906
4907 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4908 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4909 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4910
4911 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4912 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4913 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4914 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4915 HelloRequest.
4916
4917 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4918 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4919 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4920
4921 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4922 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4923 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4924 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4925 may leak via logfiles.)
4926
4927 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4928 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4929 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4930 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4931 the legal range.
4932 [Bodo Moeller]
4933
4934 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4935 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4936 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4937
4938 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4939 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4940 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4941 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4942 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4943 [Bodo Moeller]
4944
4945 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4946 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4947
4948 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4949 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4950 followed by modular reduction.
4951 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4952
4953 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4954 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4955 [Bodo Moeller]
4956
4957 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4958 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4959 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4960 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4961 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4962
4963 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4964 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4965
4966 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4967 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4968 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4969
4970 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4971 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4972 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4973 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4974 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4975 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4976 automatically.
4977 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4978
4979 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4980 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4981 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4982 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4983 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4984
4985 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4986 [Andy Polyakov]
4987
4988 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4989 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4990 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4991 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4992 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4993 to allow the necessary settings.
4994 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4995
4996 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4997 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4998 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4999 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5000 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5001
5002 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5003 dh->length and always used
5004
5005 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5006
5007 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5008 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5009 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5010 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5011 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5012 dh->length.
5013
5014 So switch back to
5015
5016 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5017
5018 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5019 otherwise.
5020 [Bodo Moeller]
5021
5022 *) In
5023
5024 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5025 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5026 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5027 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5028
5029 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5030 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5031 always reject numbers >= n.
5032 [Bodo Moeller]
5033
5034 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5035 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5036 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5037 variable) is not atomic.
5038 [Bodo Moeller]
5039
5040 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5041 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5042 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5043 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5044
5045 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5046 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5047
5048 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5049 little-endian MIPS.
5050 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5051
5052 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5053 [Richard Levitte]
5054
5055 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5056
5057 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5058 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5059 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5060 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5061 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5062 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5063 to traverse all of 'state'.
5064
5065 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5066 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5067 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5068
5069 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5070 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5071
5072 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5073 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5074 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5075 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5076 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5077 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5078 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5079 further strengthens the PRNG.
5080 [Bodo Moeller]
5081
5082 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5083 [Andy Polyakov]
5084
5085 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5086 an error message in this case.
5087 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5088
5089 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5090 [Steve Henson]
5091
5092 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5093 positive and less than q.
5094 [Bodo Moeller]
5095
5096 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5097 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5098 that itself.
5099 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5100
5101 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5102 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5103 [Bodo Moeller]
5104
5105 *) Fix OAEP check.
5106 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5107
5108 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5109 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5110 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5111 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5112 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5113 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5114 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5115 paper.)
5116
5117 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5118 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5119 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5120 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5121
5122 Both problems are now fixed.
5123 [Bodo Moeller]
5124
5125 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5126 (previously it was 1024).
5127 [Bodo Moeller]
5128
5129 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5130 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5131 [Steve Henson]
5132
5133 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5134 [Steve Henson]
5135
5136 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5137 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5138 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5139 [Steve Henson]
5140
5141 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5142 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5143 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5144 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5145 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5146 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5147 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5148 environment variables.
5149
5150 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5151 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5152 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5153 [Bodo Moeller]
5154
5155 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5156 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5157 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5158 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5159 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5160 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5161 [Bodo Moeller]
5162
5163 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5164 versions of 'test'.
5165 [Bodo Moeller]
5166
5167 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5168
5169 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5170 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5171
5172 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5173 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5174 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5175 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5176 CygWin.
5177 [Richard Levitte]
5178
5179 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5180 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5181 amount of data available.
5182 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5183 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5184
5185 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5186 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5187 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5188 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5189 [Bodo Moeller]
5190
5191 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5192 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5193 and UnixWare.
5194 [Richard Levitte]
5195
5196 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5197 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5198 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5199 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5200 [Ulf Moeller]
5201
5202 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5203 [Andy Polyakov]
5204
5205 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5206 [Richard Levitte]
5207
5208 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5209 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5210 [Steve Henson]
5211 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5212
5213 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5214 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5215 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5216 (but broken) behaviour.
5217 [Steve Henson]
5218
5219 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5220 it when found.
5221 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5222
5223 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5224 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5225 [Bodo Moeller]
5226
5227 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5228 did not exist.
5229 [Bodo Moeller]
5230
5231 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5232 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5233
5234 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5235 [Richard Levitte]
5236
5237 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5238 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5239 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5240
5241 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5242 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5243 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5244 [Steve Henson]
5245
5246 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5247 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5248 [Ulf Moeller]
5249
5250 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5251 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5252
5253 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5254
5255 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5256
5257 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5258 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5259 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5260 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5261 [Bodo Moeller]
5262
5263 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5264 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5265
5266 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5267 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5268 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5269
5270 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5271 was empty.
5272 [Steve Henson]
5273 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5274
5275 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5276 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5277 but the code is actually correct.
5278 [Steve Henson]
5279
5280 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5281 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5282 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5283 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5284 and leaves the highest bit random.
5285 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5286
5287 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5288 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5289 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5290 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5291 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5292 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5293 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5294 [Bodo Moeller]
5295
5296 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5297 [Ulf Moeller]
5298
5299 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5300 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5301 [Steve Henson]
5302
5303 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5304 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5305 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5306 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5307 headers.
5308 [Richard Levitte]
5309
5310 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5311 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5312 and break the signature.
5313 [Steve Henson]
5314 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5315
5316 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5317 DH ciphersuites.
5318 [Steve Henson]
5319
5320 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5321 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5322 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5323 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5324 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5325 [Bodo Moeller]
5326
5327 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5328 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5329
5330 *) ./config script fixes.
5331 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5332
5333 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5334 [Bodo Moeller]
5335
5336 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5337 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5338 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5339 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5340 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5341
5342 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5343 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5344 [Bodo Moeller]
5345
5346 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5347 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5348 [Steve Henson]
5349
5350 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5351 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5352 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5353 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5354
5355 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5356 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5357
5358 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5359 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5360 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5361 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5362 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5363
5364 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5365 [Bodo Moeller]
5366
5367 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5368 [Ulf Möller]
5369
5370 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5371 [Ulf Möller]
5372
5373 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5374 [Bodo Moeller]
5375
5376 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5377 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5378 [Bodo Moeller]
5379
5380 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5381 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5382 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5383 result of the server certificate verification.)
5384 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5385
5386 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5387 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5388 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5389 [Bodo Moeller]
5390
5391 *) Fix SSL_peek:
5392 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5393 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5394 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5395 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5396 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5397 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5398 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5399 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5400 [Bodo Moeller]
5401
5402 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5403 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5404 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5405 happening the other way round.
5406 [Geoff Thorpe]
5407
5408 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5409 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5410 [Bodo Moeller]
5411
5412 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5413 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5414 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5415 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5416 [Richard Levitte]
5417
5418 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5419 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5420
5421 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5422
5423 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5424 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5425 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5426 that.
5427
5428 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5429
5430 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5431
5432 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5433 static ones.
5434 [Richard Levitte]
5435
5436 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5437
5438 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5439 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5440 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5441 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5442 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5443
5444 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5445 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5446 matter what.
5447 [Richard Levitte]
5448
5449 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5450 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5451
5452 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5453
5454 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5455 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5456 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5457 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5458 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5459 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5460 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5461 by the Finished messages.
5462 [Bodo Moeller]
5463
5464 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5465 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5466
5467 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5468 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5469 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5470 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5471 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5472 appropriately.
5473 [Steve Henson]
5474
5475 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5476 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5477 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5478 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5479 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5480 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5481 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5482 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5483 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5484 together.
5485 [Steve Henson]
5486
5487 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5488 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5489 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5490 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5491
5492 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5493 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5494 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5495 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5496 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5497 the answer.
5498
5499 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5500 been tested well enough.
5501 [Richard Levitte]
5502
5503 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5504 it can return incorrect results.
5505 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5506 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5507 [Bodo Moeller]
5508
5509 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5510 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5511 include zero length content when signing messages.
5512 [Steve Henson]
5513
5514 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5515 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5516 [Bodo Möller]
5517
5518 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5519 [Richard Levitte]
5520
5521 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5522 wrong sign.
5523 [Ulf Möller]
5524
5525 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5526 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5527 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5528 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5529 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5530 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5531 [Richard Levitte]
5532
5533 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5534 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5535
5536 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5537 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5538
5539 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5540 random number < q in the DSA library.
5541 [Ulf Möller]
5542
5543 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5544 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5545 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5546 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5547 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5548 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5549 just makes things more complicated.)
5550 [Bodo Moeller]
5551
5552 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5553 from EGD.
5554 [Ben Laurie]
5555
5556 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5557 work better on such systems.
5558 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5559
5560 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5561 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5562 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5563 [Steve Henson]
5564
5565 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5566 if there was more than one signature.
5567 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5568
5569 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5570 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5571 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5572 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5573 [Richard Levitte]
5574
5575 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5576 rather than always using the current time.
5577 [Steve Henson]
5578
5579 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5580 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5581 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5582 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5583 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5584 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5585
5586 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5587 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5588
5589 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5590
5591 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5592 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5593 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5594 the same hash value.
5595
5596 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5597 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5598 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5599 with X509_STORE internally.
5600
5601 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5602 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5603
5604 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5605 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5606 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5607 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5608 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5609 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5610 entirely (maybe later...).
5611
5612 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5613
5614 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5615 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5616 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5617 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5618 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5619 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5620 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5621 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5622
5623 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5624 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5625
5626 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5627 to customise the verify behaviour.
5628 [Steve Henson]
5629
5630 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5631 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5632 [Steve Henson]
5633
5634 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5635 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5636 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5637 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5638 request is improperly encoded.
5639 [Steve Henson]
5640
5641 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5642 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5643 BIO_write(b, ...).
5644
5645 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5646 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5647
5648 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5649 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5650 words set to zero.)
5651 [Bodo Moeller]
5652
5653 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5654 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5655 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5656 [Bodo Moeller]
5657
5658 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5659 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5660 BIO/fp routines also added.
5661 [Steve Henson]
5662
5663 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5664 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5665
5666 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5667 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5668 demos/state_machine.
5669 [Ben Laurie]
5670
5671 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5672 generation and verification.
5673 [Steve Henson]
5674
5675 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5676 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5677 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5678 encode and decode it manually.
5679 [Steve Henson]
5680
5681 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5682 compile under VC++.
5683 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5684
5685 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5686 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5687 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5688 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5689
5690 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5691 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5692 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5693 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5694 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5695 [Steve Henson]
5696
5697 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5698 [Richard Levitte]
5699
5700 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5701 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5702 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5703
5704 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5705 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5706 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5707 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5708 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5709 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5710 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5711 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5712
5713 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5714 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5715
5716 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5717
5718 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5719 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5720 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5721
5722 [Richard Levitte]
5723
5724 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5725 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5726 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5727 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5728 [Richard Levitte]
5729
5730 *) MD4 implemented.
5731 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5732
5733 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5734 [Richard Levitte]
5735
5736 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5737 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5738 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5739 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5740 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5741 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5742 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5743 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5744 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5745 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5746 short or long names are found.
5747 [Steve Henson]
5748
5749 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5750 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5751
5752 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5753 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5754 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5755 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5756
5757 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5758 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5759 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5760 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5761 [Bodo Moeller]
5762
5763 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5764 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5765 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5766 [Richard Levitte]
5767
5768 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5769 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5770 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5771 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5772 to allow the various flags to be set.
5773 [Steve Henson]
5774
5775 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5776 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5777 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5778 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5779 dates to be checked.
5780 [Steve Henson]
5781
5782 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5783 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5784 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5785 [Steve Henson]
5786
5787 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5788 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5789 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5790 [Steve Henson]
5791
5792 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5793 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5794 [Bodo Moeller]
5795
5796 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5797 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5798 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5799 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5800 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5801 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5802 [Richard Levitte]
5803
5804 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5805 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5806 Random Numbers.
5807 [Ulf Möller]
5808
5809 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5810 DSA key.
5811 [Steve Henson]
5812
5813 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5814 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5815 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5816 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5817 form signing output easier to verify.
5818 [Steve Henson]
5819
5820 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5821 [Steve Henson]
5822
5823 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5824 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5825 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5826 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5827 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5828 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5829 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5830 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5831 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5832 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5833 [Steve Henson]
5834
5835 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5836
5837 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5838 the syntax given in objects.README.
5839 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5840 obj_mac.h.
5841 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5842 obj_mac.h.
5843
5844 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5845 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5846 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5847 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5848 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5849 consistent name changes.
5850 [Richard Levitte]
5851
5852 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5853 [Bodo Moeller]
5854
5855 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5856 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5857 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5858 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5859 [Richard Levitte]
5860
5861 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5862 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5863 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5864 of safestack.h .
5865 [Steve Henson]
5866
5867 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5868 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5869 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5870 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5871 [Steve Henson]
5872
5873 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5874 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5875 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5876 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5877 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5878 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5879 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5880 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5881 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5882 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5883 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5884 [Steve Henson]
5885
5886 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5887 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5888 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5889 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5890 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5891 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5892 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5893 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5894 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5895 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5896 [Steve Henson]
5897
5898 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5899 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5900 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5901 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5902
5903 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5904 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5905 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5906 omit any duplicate addresses.
5907 [Steve Henson]
5908
5909 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5910 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5911 [Bodo Moeller]
5912
5913 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5914 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5915 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5916 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5917 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5918 [Bodo Moeller]
5919
5920 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5921 software:
5922 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5923 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5924 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5925 Free => OPENSSL_free
5926 [Richard Levitte]
5927
5928 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5929 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5930 [Bodo Moeller]
5931
5932 *) CygWin32 support.
5933 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5934
5935 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5936 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5937 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5938 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5939 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5940 approach.
5941 [Geoff Thorpe]
5942
5943 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5944 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5945 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5946 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5947 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5948 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5949 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5950 [Geoff Thorpe]
5951
5952 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5953 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5954 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5955 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5956 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5957 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5958 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5959 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5960 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5961 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5962 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5963 [Bodo Moeller]
5964
5965 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5966 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5967 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5968 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5969 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5970
5971 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5972 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5973 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5974 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5975 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5976
5977 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5978 ciphers.
5979
5980 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5981 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5982 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5983 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5984
5985 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5986
5987 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5988 of macros.
5989
5990 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5991 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5992 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5993 flags.
5994
5995 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5996 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5997 any installed hardware versions can.
5998 [Steve Henson]
5999
6000 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6001 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6002 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6003 number.
6004 [Bodo Moeller]
6005
6006 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6007 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6008 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6009 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6010 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6011
6012 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6013 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6014 [Steve Henson]
6015
6016 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6017 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6018 [Richard Levitte]
6019
6020 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6021 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6022 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6023 features.
6024 [Steve Henson]
6025
6026 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6027 [Ulf Möller]
6028
6029 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6030 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6031 but no ssl client purpose.
6032 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6033
6034 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6035 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6036 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6037 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6038 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6039 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6040 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6041 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6042 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6043 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6044 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6048 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6049 be obtained from the error queue.
6050 [Bodo Moeller]
6051
6052 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6053 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6054 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6055 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6056 [Bodo Moeller]
6057
6058 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6059 [Ulf Möller]
6060
6061 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6062 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6063 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6064 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6065 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6066 [Geoff Thorpe]
6067
6068 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6069 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6070 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6071 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6072 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6073 [Geoff Thorpe]
6074
6075 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6076 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6077 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6078 may not be NULL.
6079 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6080
6081 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6082 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6083 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6084 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6085 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6086 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6087 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6088 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6089 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6090 or "the configuration storage API"...
6091
6092 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6093
6094 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6095 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6096
6097 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6098
6099 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6100
6101 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6102 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6103 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6104 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6105 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6106 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6107 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6108
6109 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6110 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6111 [Richard Levitte]
6112
6113 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6114 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6115 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6116 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6117 [Bodo Moeller]
6118
6119 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6120 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6121 them in a portable way.
6122 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6123
6124 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6125
6126 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6127
6128 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6129 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6130
6131 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6132 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6133 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6134 <attili@amaxo.com>]
6135
6136 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6137 was larger than the MD block size.
6138 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6139
6140 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6141 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6142 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6143 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6144 components.
6145 [Steve Henson]
6146
6147 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6148 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6149 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6150
6151 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6152 discouraged.
6153 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6154
6155 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6156 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6157 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6158 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6159 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6160 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6161
6162 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6163 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6164
6165 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6166 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6167 [Bodo Moeller]
6168
6169 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6170 [Bodo Moeller]
6171
6172 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6173 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6174 its own key.
6175 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6176 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6177 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6178 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6179 [Bodo Moeller]
6180
6181 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6182 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6183 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6184 does not suppress any output.
6185 [Richard Levitte]
6186
6187 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6188 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6189 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6190 with all the associated security issues.
6191
6192 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6193 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6194 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6195 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6196 use the value in the default purpose.
6197 [Steve Henson]
6198
6199 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6200 and fix a memory leak.
6201 [Steve Henson]
6202
6203 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6204 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6205 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6206 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6207 [Bodo Moeller]
6208
6209 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6210 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6211 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6212 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6213 [Bodo Moeller]
6214
6215 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6216 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6217 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6218 [Bodo Moeller]
6219
6220 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6221 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6222 [Bodo Moeller]
6223
6224 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6225 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6226 which was free.
6227 [Steve Henson]
6228
6229 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6230 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6231 [Bodo Moeller]
6232
6233 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6234 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6235 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6236 [Bodo Moeller]
6237
6238 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6239 number generation fails.
6240 [Bodo Moeller]
6241
6242 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6243 [Bodo Moeller]
6244
6245 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6246 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6247
6248 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6249 [Ulf Möller]
6250
6251 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6252 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6253
6254 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6255 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6256
6257 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6258
6259 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6260 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6261 [Steve Henson]
6262
6263 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6264 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6265
6266 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6267 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6268 [Ulf Möller]
6269
6270 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6271 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6272 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6273 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6274 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6275 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6276
6277 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6278 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6279 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6280 for example.
6281 [Steve Henson]
6282
6283 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6284 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6285 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6286 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6287 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6288 counter, some don't.)
6289 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6290 counters or duplicate objects.
6291 [Steve Henson]
6292
6293 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6294 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6295 [Steve Henson]
6296
6297 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6298 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6299 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6300
6301 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6302 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6303 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6304 or -rand.
6305 [Ulf Möller]
6306
6307 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6308 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6309 [Steve Henson]
6310
6311 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6312 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6313 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6314 cipher list.
6315 [Steve Henson]
6316
6317 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6318 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6319 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6320 [Steve Henson]
6321
6322 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6323 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6324 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6325 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6326 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6327 should work without changes.
6328 [Richard Levitte]
6329
6330 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6331 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6332 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6333 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6334 must be defined. E.g.,
6335 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6336 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6337 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6338 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6339
6340 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6341 record layer.
6342 [Bodo Moeller]
6343
6344 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6345 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6346 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6347 [Steve Henson]
6348
6349 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6350 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6351 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6352 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6353 [Steve Henson]
6354
6355 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6356 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6357 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6358 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6359 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6360 is prompted for as usual.
6361 [Steve Henson]
6362
6363 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6364 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6365 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6366 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6367
6368 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6369 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6370 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6371 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6372 [Steve Henson]
6373
6374 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6375 [Andy Polyakov]
6376
6377 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6378 of seed file.
6379 [Steve Henson]
6380
6381 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6382 [Bodo Moeller]
6383
6384 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6385 [Steve Henson]
6386
6387 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6388 bits.
6389 [Ulf Möller]
6390
6391 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6392 [Ulf Möller]
6393
6394 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6395 [Andy Polyakov]
6396
6397 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6398 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6399 [Ulf Möller]
6400
6401 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6402 options to produce them.
6403 [Steve Henson]
6404
6405 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6406 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6407 [Ulf Möller]
6408
6409 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6410 for p == 0.
6411 [Ulf Möller]
6412
6413 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6414 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6415 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6416 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6417 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6418 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6419 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6420 [Steve Henson]
6421
6422 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6423 [Steve Henson]
6424
6425 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6426 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6427 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6428 [Bodo Moeller]
6429
6430 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6431 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6432
6433 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6434 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6435 [Ulf Möller]
6436
6437 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6438 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6439 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6440 has already seen).
6441 [Bodo Moeller]
6442
6443 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6444 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6445
6446 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6447 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6448 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6449 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6450 generation becomes much faster.
6451
6452 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6453 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6454 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6455 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6456 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6457 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6458 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6459 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6460 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6461 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6462 [Bodo Moeller]
6463
6464 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6465 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6466 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6467 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6468 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6469 trial division stage.
6470 [Bodo Moeller]
6471
6472 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6473 as ASN1_TIME.
6474 [Steve Henson]
6475
6476 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6477 [Steve Henson]
6478
6479 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6480 [Ulf Möller]
6481
6482 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6483 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6484 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6485 the comments.
6486 [Ulf Möller]
6487
6488 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6489 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6490 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6491 [Bodo Moeller]
6492
6493 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6494 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6495 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6496 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6497
6498 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6499 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6500 [Steve Henson]
6501
6502 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6503 [Ulf Möller]
6504
6505 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6506 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6507 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6508 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6509 [Ulf Möller]
6510
6511 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6512 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6513 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6514 [Ulf Möller]
6515
6516 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6517 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6518 (instead of parameters) in future.
6519 [Steve Henson]
6520
6521 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6522 when a new cipher list is set.
6523 [Steve Henson]
6524
6525 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6526 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6527 wrong.
6528
6529 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6530 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6531 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6532
6533 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6534 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6535 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6536 an error is flagged.
6537
6538 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6539 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6540 the readability was also increased :-)
6541 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6542
6543 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6544 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6545 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6546 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6547 as the root CA.
6548 [Steve Henson]
6549
6550 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6551 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6552 [Steve Henson]
6553
6554 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6555 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6556 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6557 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6558 instead.
6559
6560 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6561 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6562 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6563 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6564 because they handle more complex structures.)
6565 [Steve Henson]
6566
6567 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6568 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6569 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6570 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6571
6572 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6573 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6574 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6575 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6576 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6577 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6578 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6579 [Ulf Möller]
6580
6581 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6582 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6583 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6584 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6585 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6586 [Bodo Moeller]
6587
6588 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6589 [Bodo Moeller]
6590
6591 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6592 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6593 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6594 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6595 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6596 to use this.
6597
6598 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6599 code.
6600 [Steve Henson]
6601
6602 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6603 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6604 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6605 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6606 [Steve Henson]
6607
6608 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6609 [Ulf Möller]
6610
6611 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6612 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6613 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6614 international characters are used.
6615
6616 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6617 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6618 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6619 in ASN1 order.
6620 [Steve Henson]
6621
6622 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6623 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6624 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6625 request.
6626
6627 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6628 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6629 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6630 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6631 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6632 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6633
6634 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6635 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6636 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6637 be handled by the string table functions.
6638
6639 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6640 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6641 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6642 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6643 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6644 types at all.
6645 [Steve Henson]
6646
6647 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6648 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6649 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6650 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6651 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6652
6653 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6654 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6655 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6656 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6657 [Bodo Moeller]
6658
6659 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6660 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6661 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6662 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6663 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6664 SHA1.
6665 [Andy Polyakov]
6666
6667 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6668 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6669 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6670 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6671 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6672 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6673 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6674 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6675
6676 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6677 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6678 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6679 [Steve Henson]
6680
6681 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6682 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6683 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6684 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6685 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6686 support to pkcs8 application.
6687 [Steve Henson]
6688
6689 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6690 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6691 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6692 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6693 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6694 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6695 [Bodo Moeller]
6696
6697 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6698 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6699 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6700 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6701 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6702 consistency.
6703 [Bodo Moeller]
6704
6705 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6706 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6707 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6708 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6709 example.
6710 [Steve Henson]
6711
6712 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6713 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6714 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6715 and any application specific purposes.
6716
6717 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6718 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6719 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6720 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6721 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6722 if the certificate is self signed.
6723 [Steve Henson]
6724
6725 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6726 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6727 [Steve Henson]
6728
6729 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6730 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6731 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6732 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6733 [Steve Henson]
6734
6735 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6736 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6737 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6738 Update documentation.
6739 [Steve Henson]
6740
6741 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6742 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6743 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6744 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6745 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6746 [Steve Henson]
6747
6748 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6749 for details.
6750 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6751
6752 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6753 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6754 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6755 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6756 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6757 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6758 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6759 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6760 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6761 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6762
6763 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6764
6765 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6766 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6767 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6768 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6769 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6770
6771 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6772 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6773 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6774 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6775 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6776 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6777 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6778 request additional information:
6779 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6780 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6781
6782 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6783 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6784 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6785 options.
6786
6787 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6788 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6789
6790 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
6791 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6792 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
6793
6794 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6795 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6796
6797 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6798 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6799 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6800 algorithm.
6801 [Steve Henson]
6802
6803 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6804 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6805 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6806
6807 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6808 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6809 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6810 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6811 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6812 included in OpenSSL.
6813 [Steve Henson]
6814
6815 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6816 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6817 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6818 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6819 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6820 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6821 [Bodo Moeller]
6822
6823 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6824 PKCS12 structure.
6825 [Steve Henson]
6826
6827 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6828 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6829 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6830 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6831 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6832 structure.
6833 [Steve Henson]
6834
6835 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6836 need initialising.
6837 [Steve Henson]
6838
6839 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6840 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6841 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6842 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6843 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6844 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6845 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6846 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6847 be maintained manually.
6848
6849 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6850 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6851 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6852 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6853 work because people forget to call this function]
6854 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6855 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6856 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6857 [Steve Henson]
6858
6859 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6860 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6861 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6862 should be discouraged from doing it.
6863 [Ben Laurie]
6864
6865 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6866 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6867 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6868 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6869 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6870 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6871 [Steve Henson]
6872
6873 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6874 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6875 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6876
6877 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6878 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6879 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6880
6881 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6882 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6883 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6884 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6885 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6886 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6887
6888 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6889 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6890 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6891
6892 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6893 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6894 and vice versa.
6895
6896 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6897 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6898 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6899 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6900 [Steve Henson]
6901
6902 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6903 [Steve Henson]
6904
6905 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6906 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6907 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6908 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6909 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6910 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6911 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6912 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6913 keys so we should be OK.
6914
6915 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6916 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6917 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6918 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6919 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6920 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6921 stay in the name of compatibility.
6922
6923 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6924 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6925 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6926
6927 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6928 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6929 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6930 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6931 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6932 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6933 supplied key).
6934 [Steve Henson]
6935
6936 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6937 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6938 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6939 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6940 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6941 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6942 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6943 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6944 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6945 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6946 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6947 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6948 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6949 [Steve Henson]
6950
6951 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6952 [Steve Henson]
6953
6954 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6955 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6956 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6957 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6958 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6959 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6960 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6961 openssl verify ss.pem
6962 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6963 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6964 is OK.
6965 [Steve Henson]
6966
6967 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6968 (and add it to external session representation).
6969 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6970 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6971 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6972 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6973 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6974 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6975 security holes.
6976 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6977
6978 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6979 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6980 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6981 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6982
6983 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6984 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6985 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6986 [Steve Henson]
6987
6988 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6989 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6990 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6991 code.
6992 [Steve Henson]
6993
6994 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6995 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6996 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6997
6998 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6999 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7000 certificate auxiliary information.
7001 [Steve Henson]
7002
7003 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7004 the 'enc' command.
7005 [Steve Henson]
7006
7007 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7008 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7009 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7010 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7011 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7012 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7013 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7014 [Richard Levitte]
7015
7016 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7017 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7018 [Steve Henson]
7019
7020 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7021 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7022 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7023 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7024 [Steve Henson]
7025
7026 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7027 [Steve Henson]
7028
7029 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7030 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7031 [Steve Henson]
7032
7033 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7034 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7035 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7036 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7037 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7038 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7039 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7040 using the new 'x509' options.
7041
7042 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7043 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7044 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7045 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7046 for all purposes.
7047 [Steve Henson]
7048
7049 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7050 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7051 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7052 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7053 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7054 [Mark Cox]
7055
7056 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7057 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7058 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7059 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7060 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7061 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7062 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7063 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7064 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7065 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7066 [Steve Henson]
7067
7068 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7069 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7070 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7071 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7072 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7073 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7074 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7075 [Steve Henson]
7076
7077 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7078 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7079 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7080 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7081 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7082 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7083 openssl.cnf for more info.
7084 [Steve Henson]
7085
7086 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7087 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7088 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7089 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7090 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7091 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7092 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7093 md should be large enough anyway.
7094 [Bodo Moeller]
7095
7096 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7097 for handling the random seed file.
7098
7099 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7100 ca,
7101 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7102 s_client,
7103 s_server,
7104 x509 (when signing).
7105 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7106 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7107 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7108
7109 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7110 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7111 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7112 that support '-rand'.
7113 [Bodo Moeller]
7114
7115 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7116 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7117 [Bodo Moeller]
7118
7119 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7120 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7121 [Bill Perry]
7122
7123 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7124 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7125 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7126 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7127 is suitable.
7128 [Steve Henson]
7129
7130 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7131 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7132 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7133 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7134 [Steve Henson]
7135
7136 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7137 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7138 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7139 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7140 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7141 print out all the purposes.
7142 [Steve Henson]
7143
7144 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7145 functions.
7146 [Steve Henson]
7147
7148 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7149 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7150 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7151 single function call.
7152 [Steve Henson]
7153
7154 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7155 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7156 [Andy Polyakov]
7157
7158 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7159 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7160 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7161 [Steve Henson]
7162
7163 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7164 when producing the local key id.
7165 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7166
7167 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7168 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7169 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7170 "server.pem".
7171 [Steve Henson]
7172
7173 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7174 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7175 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7176 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7177 [Steve Henson]
7178
7179 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7180 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7181 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7182 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7183
7184 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7185 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7186 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7187 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7188
7189 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7190 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7191 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7192 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7193 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7194 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7195 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7196 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7197 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7198 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7199 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7200 trivial: move one line.
7201 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7202
7203 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7204 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7205 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7206 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7207 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7208 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7209 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7210 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7211 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7212 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7213 with an event loop for example.
7214 [Steve Henson]
7215
7216 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7217 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7218 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7219 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7220 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7221 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7222 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7223 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7224 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7225 [Steve Henson]
7226
7227 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7228 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7229 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7230 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7231 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7232 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7233 [Steve Henson]
7234
7235 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7236 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7237 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7238 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7239
7240 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7241 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7242 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7243 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7244 key generation.
7245 [Steve Henson]
7246
7247 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7248 (still largely untested)
7249 [Bodo Moeller]
7250
7251 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7252 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7253 [Steve Henson]
7254
7255 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7256 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7257 [Steve Henson]
7258
7259 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7260 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7261 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7262 [Bodo Moeller]
7263
7264 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7265 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7266 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7267 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7268 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7269 [Steve Henson]
7270
7271 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7272 [Andy Polyakov]
7273
7274 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7275 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7276 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7277 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7278 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7279 in ca.
7280 [Steve Henson]
7281
7282 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7283 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7284 1.OU="Unit name 1"
7285 2.OU="Unit name 2"
7286 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7287 [Steve Henson]
7288
7289 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7290 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7291 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7292 are otherwise ignored at present.
7293 [Steve Henson]
7294
7295 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7296 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7297 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7298 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7299 copied until the next read.
7300 [Steve Henson]
7301
7302 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7303 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7304 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7305 [Steve Henson]
7306
7307 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7308 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7309 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7310 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7311 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7312 associated functions.
7313 [Steve Henson]
7314
7315 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7316 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7317 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7318 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7319 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7320 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7321 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7322 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7323 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7324 memory BIOs.
7325 [Steve Henson]
7326
7327 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7328 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7329 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7330 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7331 [Bodo Moeller]
7332
7333 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7334 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7335 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7336 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7337 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7338 functionality.
7339 [Steve Henson]
7340
7341 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7342 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7343 under Win32.
7344 [Steve Henson]
7345
7346 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7347 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7348 extensions to be obtained and added.
7349 [Steve Henson]
7350
7351 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7352 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7353 [Bodo Moeller]
7354
7355 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7356
7357 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7359
7360 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7361 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7362
7363 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7364 program.
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7368 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7369 DH parameters contain its length).
7370
7371 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7372 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7373 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7374 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7375 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7376 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7377 utter importance to use
7378 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7379 or
7380 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7381 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7382 attacks may become possible!
7383 [Bodo Moeller]
7384
7385 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7386 [Bodo Moeller]
7387
7388 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7389 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7390 [Steve Henson]
7391
7392 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7393 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7394 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7395 or long name.
7396 [Steve Henson]
7397
7398 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7399 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7400 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7401 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7402 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7403 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7404 private key operations.
7405 [Steve Henson]
7406
7407 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7408 [Andy Polyakov]
7409
7410 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7411 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7412 to
7413 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7414 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7415 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7416 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7417 the password callback is called.
7418 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7419
7420 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7421
7422 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7423 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7424 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7425 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7426 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7427 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7428 this will work.
7429
7430 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7431 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7432 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7433 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7434 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7435 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7436 [Bodo Moeller]
7437
7438 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7439 [Andy Polyakov]
7440
7441 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7442 delete an unused file.
7443 [Ulf Möller]
7444
7445 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7446 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7447 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7448 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7449 [Steve Henson]
7450
7451 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7452 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7453 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7454 of an error.
7455 [Bodo Moeller]
7456
7457 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7458 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7459 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7460
7461 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7462 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7463 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7464 comparison" warnings.
7465 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7466 [Steve Henson]
7467
7468 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7469 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7470 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7471 [Steve Henson]
7472
7473 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7474 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7475
7476 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7477 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7478
7479 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7480 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7481 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7482
7483 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7484 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7485 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7486 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7487 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7488 this bug.
7489 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7490
7491 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7492 The interface is as follows:
7493 Applications can use
7494 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7495 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7496 "off" is now the default.
7497 The library internally uses
7498 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7499 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7500 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7501
7502 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7503 even the default) are now avoided.
7504
7505 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7506 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7507 than just having a counter.
7508
7509 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7510
7511 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7512 extensions.
7513 [Bodo Moeller]
7514
7515 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7516 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7517 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7518 Initial "mode" flags are:
7519
7520 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7521 a single record has been written.
7522 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7523 retries use the same buffer location.
7524 (But all of the contents must be
7525 copied!)
7526 [Bodo Moeller]
7527
7528 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7529 worked.
7530
7531 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7532 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7533
7534 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7535 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7536 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7537 [Steve Henson]
7538
7539 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7540 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7541 test programs.
7542 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7543
7544 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7545 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7546 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7547 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7548 point to the end.
7549 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7550 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7551
7552 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7553 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7554 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7555 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7556 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7557 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7558 [Steve Henson]
7559
7560 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7561 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7562 necessary function names.
7563 [Steve Henson]
7564
7565 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7566 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7567 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7568 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7569 [Bodo Moeller]
7570
7571 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7572 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7573 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7574 [Steve Henson]
7575
7576 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7577 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7578 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7579 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7580 such programs?)
7581 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7582 need locks.
7583 [Bodo Moeller]
7584
7585 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7586 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7587 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7588 [Bodo Moeller]
7589
7590 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7591 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7592 appropriate.
7593 [Bodo Moeller]
7594
7595 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7596 for the encoded length.
7597 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7598
7599 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7600 [Steve Henson]
7601
7602 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7603 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7604 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7605 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7606 [Steve Henson]
7607
7608 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7609 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7611
7612 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7613 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7614 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7615 unusual formatting.
7616 [Steve Henson]
7617
7618 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7619 to use the new extension code.
7620 [Steve Henson]
7621
7622 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7623 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7624 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7625 constant.
7626 [Steve Henson]
7627
7628 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7629 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7630 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7631 [Bodo Moeller]
7632
7633 #if 0
7634 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7635 [Ben Laurie]
7636 #else
7637 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7638 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7639 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7640 #endif
7641
7642 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7643 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7644 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7645 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7646 [Ben Laurie]
7647
7648 *) DES library cleanups.
7649 [Ulf Möller]
7650
7651 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7652 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7653 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7654 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7655 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7656 of v2.0.
7657 [Steve Henson]
7658
7659 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7660 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7661 [Bodo Moeller]
7662
7663 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7664 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7665 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7666 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7667 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7668 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7669 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7670 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7671 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7672 [Steve Henson]
7673
7674 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7675 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7676 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7677 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7678 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7679 value doesn't matter.
7680 [Steve Henson]
7681
7682 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7683 support mutable.
7684 [Ben Laurie]
7685
7686 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7687 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7688 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7689 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7690
7691 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7692 [Ulf Möller]
7693
7694 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7695 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7696 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7697
7698 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7699 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7700
7701 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7702 [Ben Laurie]
7703
7704 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7705 [Ben Laurie]
7706
7707 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7708 [Ben Laurie]
7709
7710 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7711 [Bodo Moeller]
7712
7713
7714 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7715
7716 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7717
7718 *) Updated some demos.
7719 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7720
7721 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7722 [Wu Zhigang]
7723
7724 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7725 [Steve Henson]
7726
7727 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7728 [Steve Henson]
7729
7730 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7731 instead of using a fixed path.
7732 [Bodo Moeller]
7733
7734 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7735 [Andy Polyakov]
7736
7737 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7738 [Richard Levitte]
7739
7740
7741 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7742
7743 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7744 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7745 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7746
7747 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7748 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7749 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7750 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7751 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7752 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7753 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7754 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7755 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7756 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7757 [Steve Henson]
7758
7759 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7760 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7761 [Steve Henson]
7762
7763 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7764 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7765 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7766 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7767 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7768
7769 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7770 [Bodo Moeller]
7771
7772 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7773 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7774 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7775 [Steve Henson]
7776
7777 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7778 [Ben Laurie]
7779
7780 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7781 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7782 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7783 key elements as negative integers.
7784 [Steve Henson]
7785
7786 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7787 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7788
7789 *) VMS support.
7790 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7791
7792 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7793 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7794 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7795 [Steve Henson]
7796
7797 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7798 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7799 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7800 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7801 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7802 [Bodo Moeller]
7803
7804 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7805 [Ulf Möller]
7806
7807 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7808 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7809 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7810 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7811
7812 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7813 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7814 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7815
7816 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7817 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7818 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7819 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7820 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7821 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7822 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7823 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7824 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7825
7826 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7827 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7828 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7829 does not influence s as it used to.
7830
7831 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7832 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7833 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7834 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7835 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7836 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7837 [Bodo Moeller]
7838
7839 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7840 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7841 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7842 key type.
7843 [Steve Henson]
7844
7845 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7846 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7847 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7848 and 'x509').
7849 [Steve Henson]
7850
7851 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7852 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7853 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7854 extension option.
7855 [Steve Henson]
7856
7857 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7858 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7859 [Ben Laurie]
7860
7861 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7862 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7863
7864 *) Support Mingw32.
7865 [Ulf Möller]
7866
7867 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7868 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7869
7870 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7871 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7872
7873 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7874 [Ulf Möller]
7875
7876 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7877 [Anonymous]
7878
7879 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7881
7882 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7883 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7884 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7885 DER-encoded.)
7886 [Bodo Moeller]
7887
7888 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7889 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7890 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7891 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7892 now it really counts the depth.
7893 [Bodo Moeller]
7894
7895 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7896 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7897 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7898 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7899 didn't match the private key).
7900
7901 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7902 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7903 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7904 [Bodo Moeller]
7905
7906 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7907 [Ulf Möller]
7908
7909 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7910 David Harris.
7911 [Bodo Moeller]
7912
7913 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7914 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7915 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7916 [Bodo Moeller]
7917
7918 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7919 [Bodo Moeller]
7920
7921 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7922 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7923 such as /usr/local/bin.
7924 [Bodo Moeller]
7925
7926 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7927 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7928
7929 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7930 [Ulf Möller]
7931
7932 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7933 extension adding in x509 utility.
7934 [Steve Henson]
7935
7936 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7937 [Ulf Möller]
7938
7939 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7940 prototypes.
7941 [Steve Henson]
7942
7943 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7944 [Ulf Möller]
7945
7946 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7947 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7948 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7949 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7950 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7951 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7952 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7953 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7954 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7955 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7956 [Steve Henson]
7957
7958 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7959 [Bodo Moeller]
7960
7961 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7962 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7963 [Bodo Moeller]
7964
7965 *) Fix some race conditions.
7966 [Bodo Moeller]
7967
7968 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7969 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7970 [Steve Henson]
7971
7972 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7973 [Ulf Möller]
7974
7975 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7976 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7977 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7978 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7979
7980 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7981 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7982
7983 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7984 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7985 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7986
7987 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7988 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7989
7990 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7991 [Ulf Möller]
7992
7993 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7994 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7995
7996 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7997 [Ulf Möller]
7998
7999 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8000 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8001
8002 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8003 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8004 [Steve Henson]
8005
8006 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8007 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8008 [Ben Laurie]
8009
8010 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8011 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8012 [Steve Henson]
8013
8014 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8015 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8016 [Steve Henson]
8017
8018 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8019 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8020 [Steve Henson]
8021
8022 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8023 support typesafe stack.
8024 [Steve Henson]
8025
8026 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8027 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8028
8029 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8030 old X509V3 handling code.
8031 [Steve Henson]
8032
8033 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8034 [Ulf Möller]
8035
8036 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8037 [Bodo Moeller]
8038
8039 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8040 [Ben Laurie]
8041
8042 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8043 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8044
8045 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8046 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8047 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8048 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8049 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8050 [Ben Laurie]
8051
8052 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8053 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8054 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8055 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8056 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8057
8058 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8059 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8060 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8062
8063 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8064 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8065 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8066 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8067
8068 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8069 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8070 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8071 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8072 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8073 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8074 [Bodo Moeller]
8075
8076 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8077 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8078 [Bodo Moeller]
8079
8080 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8081 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8082 [Ulf Möller]
8083
8084 *) Tweaks to Configure
8085 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8086
8087 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8088 yet...
8089 [Steve Henson]
8090
8091 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8092 [Ulf Möller]
8093
8094 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8095 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8096 [Ulf Möller]
8097
8098 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8099 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8100 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8101 [Bodo Moeller]
8102
8103 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8104 [Bodo Moeller]
8105
8106 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8107 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8108 [Steve Henson]
8109
8110 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8111 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8112 to library startup routines.
8113 [Steve Henson]
8114
8115 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8116 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8117 codes along the way.
8118 [Steve Henson]
8119
8120 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8121 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8122 objects to objects.h
8123 [Steve Henson]
8124
8125 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8126 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8127 [Steve Henson]
8128
8129 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8130 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8131
8132 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8133 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8134 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8135
8136 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8137 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8138 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8139
8140 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8141 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8142 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8143
8144
8145 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8146
8147 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8148 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8149 [Ben Laurie]
8150
8151 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8152 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8153 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8154 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8155 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8156
8157 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8158 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8159 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8160 document.
8161 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8162
8163 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8164 Malloc, Free.
8165 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8166
8167 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8168 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8169
8170 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8171 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8172 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8173 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8174
8175 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8176 [Ben Laurie]
8177
8178 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8179 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8180 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8181 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8182 [Steve Henson]
8183
8184 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8185 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8186 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8187 [Steve Henson]
8188
8189 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8190 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8191 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8192 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8193 installed as `perl').
8194 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8195
8196 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8197 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8198
8199 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8200 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8201 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8202 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8203 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8204 [Steve Henson]
8205
8206 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8207 [Ben Laurie]
8208
8209 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8210 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8211 is horrible: I feel ill....
8212 [Steve Henson]
8213
8214 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8215 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8216 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8217 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8218 [Steve Henson]
8219
8220 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8222
8223 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8224 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8225 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8226 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8227
8228 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8229 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8230 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8231 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8232 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8233 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8234 openssl_bio.xs.
8235 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8236
8237 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8238 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8239
8240 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8241 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8242
8243 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8244 [Ben Laurie]
8245
8246 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8247 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8248 in CRLs.
8249 [Steve Henson]
8250
8251 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8252 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8253 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8254 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8255 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8256 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8257 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8258 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8259 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8260 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8261 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8262
8263 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8264 [Ben Laurie]
8265
8266 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8267 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8268 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8269 for linking it into DSOs.
8270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8271
8272 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8273 Fixed.
8274 [Ben Laurie]
8275
8276 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8277 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8278 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8279 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8280 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8281 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8282
8283 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8284 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8285 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8286 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8287 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8288 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8289 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8290
8291 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8292 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8293 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8294 encryption.
8295 [Ben Laurie]
8296
8297 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8298 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8299 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8300 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8301 [Steve Henson]
8302
8303 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8304 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8305 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8306 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8307 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8308 field as blank.
8309 [Steve Henson]
8310
8311 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8312 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8313 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8314 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8315 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8316
8317 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8318 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8319 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8320
8321 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8322 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8323
8324 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8325 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8326 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8327 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8328 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8329 [Steve Henson]
8330
8331 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8332 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8333 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8334 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8335 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8336 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8337 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8338 [Ben Laurie]
8339
8340 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8341 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
8342 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8343 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8344 [Ben Laurie]
8345
8346 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8347 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8348
8349 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8350 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8351 [Steve Henson]
8352
8353 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8354 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8355 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8356 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8357 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8358 (e.g. s_server).
8359 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8360 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8361 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8362 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8363 no way to reconfigure them.
8364 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8365 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8366 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8367 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8368 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8370
8371 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8372 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8373 recognized by the users.
8374 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8375
8376 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8377 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8378 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8379 already masked variable.
8380 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8381
8382 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8383 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8384
8385 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8386 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8387 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8388 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8389
8390 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8391 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8393
8394 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8395 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8396 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8397 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8398 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8399 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8400 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8401 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8402 now, too.
8403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8404
8405 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8406 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8407 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8408
8409 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8410 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8411 config file.
8412 [Steve Henson]
8413
8414 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8415 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8416
8417 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8418 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8419 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8420 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8421 [Ben Laurie]
8422
8423 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8424 [Steve Henson]
8425
8426 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8427 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8428
8429 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8430 [Ben Laurie]
8431
8432 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8433 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8434 [Steve Henson]
8435
8436 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8437 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8438 [Steve Henson]
8439
8440 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8441 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8442 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8443 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8444 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8445 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8446 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8447 Ben Laurie]
8448
8449 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8450 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8451
8452 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8453 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8454 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8455 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8456 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8457
8458 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8459 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8460 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8461 [Steve Henson]
8462
8463 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8464 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8465 an example.
8466 [Steve Henson]
8467
8468 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8469 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8470 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8471
8472 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8473 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8474 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8475 build instructions.
8476 [Steve Henson]
8477
8478 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8479 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8480 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8481 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8482 [Steve Henson]
8483
8484 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8485 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8486 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8487 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8488 [Ben Laurie]
8489
8490 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8491 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8492 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8493 so it wasn't spotted.
8494 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8495
8496 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8497 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8498 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8499 vectors if you have them.
8500 [Ben Laurie]
8501
8502 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8503 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8504 [Ben Laurie]
8505
8506 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8507 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8508 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8509 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8510 If you do a:
8511 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8512 it will update them.
8513 [Steve Henson]
8514
8515 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8516 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8517 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8518 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8519 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8520 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8521 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8522 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8523
8524 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8525 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8526 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8527 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8528 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8529 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8530 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8531 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8532 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8533 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8534
8535 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8536 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8537 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8538 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8539 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8540 [Steve Henson]
8541
8542 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8543 INTEGER code.
8544 [Steve Henson]
8545
8546 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8547 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8548
8549 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8550 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8551
8552 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8553 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8554 [Ben Laurie]
8555
8556 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8557 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8558
8559 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8560 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8561
8562 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8563 [Steve Henson]
8564
8565 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8566 few typos.
8567 [Steve Henson]
8568
8569 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8570 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8571 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8572 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8573
8574 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8575 [Steve Henson]
8576
8577 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8578 [Steve Henson]
8579
8580 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8581 [Steve Henson]
8582
8583 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8584 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8585 [Steve Henson]
8586
8587 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8588 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8589 CA extensions.
8590 [Steve Henson]
8591
8592 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8593 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8594 [Steve Henson]
8595
8596 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8597 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8598 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8599 [Steve Henson]
8600
8601 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8602 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8603 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8604 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8605 properly to be processed.
8606 [Steve Henson]
8607
8608 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8609 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8610 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8611 [Ben Laurie]
8612
8613 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8614 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8615
8616 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8617 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8618 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8619 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8620 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8621 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8622 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8623 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8624 or delete all the .err files.
8625 [Steve Henson]
8626
8627 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8628 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8629 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8630 to regenerate it if needed.
8631 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8632 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8633
8634 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8635 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8636
8637 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8638 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8639 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8640 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8641 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8642 [Steve Henson]
8643
8644 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8645 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8646
8647 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8648 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8649
8650 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8651 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8652 error, but didn't set one).
8653 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8654
8655 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8656 [Ben Laurie]
8657
8658 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8659 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8660 [Steve Henson]
8661
8662 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8663 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8664
8665 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8666 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8667 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8668 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8669 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8670 OID is not part of the table.
8671 [Steve Henson]
8672
8673 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8674 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8675 [Ben Laurie]
8676
8677 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8678 [Ben Laurie]
8679
8680 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8681 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8682 was "1234").
8683 [Steve Henson]
8684
8685 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8686 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8687
8688 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8689 NULL pointers.
8690 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8691
8692 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8693 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8694
8695 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8696 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8697
8698 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8699 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8700
8701 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8702 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8703 [Ben Laurie]
8704
8705 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8706 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8707 [Steve Henson]
8708
8709 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8710 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8711
8712 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8713 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8714
8715 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8716 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8717
8718 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8719 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8720
8721 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8722 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8723 unused in the certificate verification process.
8724 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8725
8726 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8727 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8728 [Steve Henson]
8729
8730 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8731 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8732 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8733
8734 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8735 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8736 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8737 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8738 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8739
8740 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8741 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8742 [Steve Henson]
8743
8744 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8745 [Steve Henson]
8746
8747 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8748 [Paul Sutton]
8749
8750 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8751 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8752
8753 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8754 [Ben Laurie]
8755
8756 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8757 [Ben Laurie]
8758
8759 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8760 [Ben Laurie]
8761
8762 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8763 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8764 other error libraries.
8765 [Steve Henson]
8766
8767 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8768 [Steve Henson]
8769
8770 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8771 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8772 be read in.
8773 [Steve Henson]
8774
8775 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8776 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8777 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8778 the new set of documenation files.
8779 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8780
8781 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8782 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8783 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8784 number of arguments.
8785 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8786
8787 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8788 [Ben Laurie]
8789
8790 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8791 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8792 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8793
8794 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8795 [Ben Laurie]
8796
8797 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8798 nextstep
8799 ncr-scde
8800 unixware-2.0
8801 unixware-2.0-pentium
8802 sco5-cc.
8803 [Ben Laurie]
8804
8805 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8806 before they are needed.
8807 [Ben Laurie]
8808
8809 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8810 [Ben Laurie]
8811
8812
8813 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8814
8815 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8816 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8818
8819 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8820 [Paul Sutton]
8821
8822 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8823 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8825
8826 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8827 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8828 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8829
8830 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8831 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8832 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8833
8834 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8835 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8836
8837 *) Updated the README file.
8838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8839
8840 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8841 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8843
8844 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8845 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8846 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8847
8848 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8849 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8850 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8851 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8852 o removed obsolete TODO file
8853 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8854 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8855
8856 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8857 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8858 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8859 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8860 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8861 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8862 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8863
8864 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8865 [Mark J. Cox]
8866
8867 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8868 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8869 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8870 summer 1998.
8871 [The OpenSSL Project]
8872
8873
8874 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]

8883 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8884 [Eric A. Young]
8885
8886 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8887 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8888 available).
8889 [Eric A. Young]
8890
8891 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8892 binary structures
8893 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8894
8895 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8896 [Eric A. Young]
8897
8898 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8899 [Eric A. Young]
8900
8901 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8902 [Eric A. Young]
8903
8904 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8905 [Eric A. Young]
8906
8907 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8908 [Eric A. Young]
8909
8910 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8911 [Eric A. Young]
8912
8913 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8914 [Eric A. Young]
8915
8916 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8917 [Eric A. Young]
8918

8920 [Eric A. Young]
8921
8922 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8923 [Eric A. Young]
8924
8925 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8926 [Eric A. Young]
8927
8928 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8929 [Eric A. Young]
8930
8931 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8932 [Eric A. Young]
8933
8934 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8935 [Eric A. Young]
8936
8937 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8938 [Eric A. Young]
8939
8940 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8941 [Eric A. Young]
8942
8943 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8944 [Eric A. Young]
8945
8946 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8947 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8948 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8949 [Eric A. Young]
8950
8951 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8952 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8953 [Eric A. Young]
8954
8955 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8956 [Eric A. Young]
8957
8958 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8959 [Eric A. Young]
8960
8961 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8962 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8963 [Eric A. Young]

8969 [Eric A. Young]
8970
8971 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8972 bytes sent in the client random.
8973 [Edward Bishop <ebishop@spyglass.com>]
8974
