5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
10 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
11 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
15 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
16 sign or verify all in one operation.
19 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
20 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
21 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
24 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
27 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
30 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
31 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
32 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
33 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
34 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
37 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
41 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
42 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
43 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
46 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
47 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
50 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
53 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
54 POST to handle HMAC cases.
57 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
58 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
61 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
62 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
63 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
66 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
67 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
68 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
69 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
70 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
71 requested amount of entropy.
74 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
75 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
78 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
79 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
80 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
84 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
85 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
86 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
89 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
90 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
91 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
92 will never use XTS mode.
95 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
96 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
97 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
98 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
99 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
100 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
103 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
104 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
105 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
106 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
109 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
110 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
111 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
114 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
117 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
120 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
121 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
124 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
125 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
128 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
129 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
132 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
133 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
134 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
135 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
136 and rename any affected symbols.
139 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
140 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
143 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
144 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
145 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
148 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
151 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
152 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
153 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
156 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
157 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
160 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
161 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
162 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
163 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
164 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
165 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
169 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
170 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
171 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
172 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
173 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
174 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
175 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
176 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
179 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
180 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
183 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
185 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
186 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
188 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
189 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
190 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
191 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
192 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
193 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
195 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
196 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
197 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
199 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
201 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
204 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
207 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
208 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
209 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
211 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
213 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
214 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
215 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
218 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
219 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
222 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
223 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
224 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
225 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
228 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
232 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
233 Add CMAC pkey methods.
236 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
237 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
238 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
241 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
242 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
243 multi-process servers.
246 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
247 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
248 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
249 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
250 RAND_METHOD structure.
253 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
254 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
255 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
256 whose return value is often ignored.
259 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
261 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
262 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
263 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
264 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
265 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
267 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
268 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
269 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
271 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
272 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
273 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
275 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
276 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
278 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
280 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
281 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
282 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
285 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
286 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
290 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
291 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
292 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
295 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
296 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
297 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
298 the appropriate parameters.
301 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
302 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
303 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
304 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
305 against a number of sample certificates.
308 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
309 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
311 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
312 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
314 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
315 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
319 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
323 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
324 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
325 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
329 *) Session-handling fixes:
330 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
331 but also support Session Tickets.
332 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
333 presented a ticket with an expired session.
334 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
335 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
336 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
337 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
339 *) Fix PSK session representation.
342 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
344 This work was sponsored by Intel.
347 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
348 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
349 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
350 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
351 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
354 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
355 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
358 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
359 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
360 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
363 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
364 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
365 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
366 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
369 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
370 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
371 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
374 *) Add -attime option to openssl verify.
375 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org> and Ben Laurie]
377 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
380 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
381 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
384 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
387 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
388 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
391 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
392 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
395 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
398 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
399 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
400 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
403 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
406 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
409 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
410 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
413 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
414 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
415 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
418 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
421 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
425 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
426 FIPS modules versions.
429 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
430 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
431 until after the certificate request message is received.
434 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
435 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
436 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
437 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
440 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
441 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
442 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
443 support yet and no support for client certificates.
446 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
447 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
448 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
449 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
450 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
451 and version checking.
454 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
455 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
456 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
457 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
461 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
463 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
466 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
467 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
468 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
470 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
471 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
472 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
475 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
476 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
478 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
479 a few changes are required:
481 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
483 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
484 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
485 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
488 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
490 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
491 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
492 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
494 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
495 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
496 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
497 the last update always remained unused).
498 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
500 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
501 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
503 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
505 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
506 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
507 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
509 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
510 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
511 [Adam Langley (Google)]
513 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
516 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
517 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
518 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
521 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
522 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
524 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
526 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
528 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
530 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
531 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
533 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
534 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
538 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
540 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
541 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
542 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
545 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
546 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
547 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
550 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
552 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
553 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
554 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
557 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
561 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
563 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
565 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
567 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
569 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
570 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
571 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
574 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
577 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
578 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
579 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
581 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
582 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
583 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
586 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
587 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
590 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
591 some responders need this.
594 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
596 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
598 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
599 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
600 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
603 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
606 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
607 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
608 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
609 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
610 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
611 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
612 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
613 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
616 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
617 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
618 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
619 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
621 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
622 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
624 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
628 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
629 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
630 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
631 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
632 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
633 attempting to work them out.
636 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
637 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
638 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
639 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
642 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
643 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
644 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
645 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
646 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
649 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
650 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
657 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
659 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
663 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
664 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
666 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
667 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
669 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
670 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
671 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
672 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
673 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
676 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
677 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
678 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
681 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
682 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
685 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
686 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
688 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
689 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
692 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
695 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
696 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
697 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
701 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
702 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
703 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
704 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
705 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
706 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
709 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
710 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
712 This work was sponsored by Google.
715 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
716 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
717 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
718 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
719 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
720 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
721 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
724 This work was sponsored by Google.
727 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
729 This work was sponsored by Google.
732 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
733 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
734 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
735 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
737 This work was sponsored by Google.
740 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
741 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
742 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
743 CRL functionality in future.
745 This work was sponsored by Google.
748 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
750 This work was sponsored by Google.
753 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
754 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
756 This work was sponsored by Google.
759 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
760 and URI types are currently supported.
762 This work was sponsored by Google.
765 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
766 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
767 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
768 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
769 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
770 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
771 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
772 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
774 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
775 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
776 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
778 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
779 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
780 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
781 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
783 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
784 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
785 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
786 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
787 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
788 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
789 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
790 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
792 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
794 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
795 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
796 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
798 This work was sponsored by Google.
801 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
804 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
805 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
806 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
809 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
810 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
813 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
814 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
817 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
818 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
819 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
820 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
821 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
822 content types and variants.
825 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
828 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
829 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
830 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
831 files from the associated perl scripts.
834 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
835 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
836 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
838 *) s390x assembler pack.
841 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
845 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
846 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
847 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
848 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
849 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
850 to use. For example, specify an option
852 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
854 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
855 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
856 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
857 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
858 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
859 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
861 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
862 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
863 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
864 return non-zero for success.
866 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
869 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
870 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
874 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
877 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
878 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
879 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
880 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
881 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
882 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
883 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
884 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
885 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
887 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
888 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
889 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
890 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
891 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
892 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
894 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
895 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
896 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
897 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
898 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
899 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
903 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
906 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
908 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
909 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
910 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
913 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
914 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
917 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
918 protection in servers so again support should be possible
919 with no application modification.
921 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
922 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
924 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
925 or server extensions to be examined.
927 This work was sponsored by Google.
930 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
931 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
932 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
934 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
935 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
937 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
939 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
940 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
941 to output in BER and PEM format.
944 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
945 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
946 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
947 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
948 -macopt options to dgst utility.
951 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
952 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
953 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
957 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
958 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
959 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
960 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
961 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
962 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
963 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
964 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
967 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
968 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
969 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
970 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
972 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
973 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
974 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
978 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
979 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
980 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
981 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
982 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
983 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
984 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
985 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
986 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
988 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
989 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
990 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
991 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
992 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
993 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
994 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
995 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
996 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
997 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
998 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1001 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1002 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1003 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1005 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1006 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1010 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1011 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1012 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1015 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1016 it yet and it is largely untested.
1019 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1022 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1023 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1024 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1027 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1030 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1031 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1032 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1033 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1036 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1037 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1038 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1039 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1040 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1043 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1044 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1047 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1048 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1049 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1050 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1053 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1054 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1055 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1056 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1059 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1060 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1063 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1064 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1065 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1066 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1069 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1070 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1071 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1074 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1078 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1079 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1082 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1083 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1084 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1088 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1089 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1090 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1093 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1094 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1095 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1096 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1099 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1100 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1101 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1102 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1103 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1104 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1107 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1108 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1109 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1110 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1111 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1113 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1114 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1115 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1116 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1117 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1120 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1121 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1122 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1123 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1125 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1126 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1127 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1128 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1129 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1135 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1136 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1140 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1141 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1144 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1145 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1148 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1149 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1150 functional reference processing.
1153 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1154 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1158 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1159 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1160 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1163 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1164 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1165 application to support multiple signers.
1168 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1172 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1173 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1174 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1175 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1176 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1179 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1183 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1184 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1185 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1186 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1190 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1191 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1192 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1193 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1194 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1195 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1196 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1197 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1200 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1201 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1202 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1203 between digests and public key types.
1206 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1207 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1208 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1209 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1212 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1213 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1217 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1220 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1224 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1225 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1226 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1227 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1232 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1234 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1236 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1238 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1239 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1240 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1241 functionality for RSA.
1244 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1245 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1246 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1249 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1250 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1253 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1254 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1255 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1258 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1259 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1262 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1263 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1266 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1267 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1271 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1272 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1273 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1277 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1278 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1279 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1280 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1281 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1282 of public and private key structures.
1285 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1286 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1289 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1290 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1291 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1294 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1298 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1299 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1300 SSL_get_psk_identity
1301 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1303 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1305 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1306 and response verification functionality.
1307 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1309 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1310 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1311 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1312 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1313 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1314 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1315 server_name extension.
1317 New functions (subject to change):
1319 SSL_get_servername()
1320 SSL_get_servername_type()
1323 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1325 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1326 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1327 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1328 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1329 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1331 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1333 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1334 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1335 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1336 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1337 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1338 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1341 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1343 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1346 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1347 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1348 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1349 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1350 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1353 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1354 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1358 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1359 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1360 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1361 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1364 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1365 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1366 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1367 using the maximum available value.
1370 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1371 in addition to the text details.
1374 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1375 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1376 handle several customised structures at all.
1379 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1380 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1381 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1384 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1387 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1388 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1389 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1392 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1393 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1394 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1397 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1398 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1402 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1405 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1408 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
1410 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1411 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1412 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1414 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1415 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1416 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1417 the last update always remained unused).
1418 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1420 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1421 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1422 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1424 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1427 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1428 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1430 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

1434 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1436 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1437 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1439 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1440 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1444 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1446 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1447 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1448 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1451 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1452 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1453 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1456 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1458 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1459 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1460 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1463 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1466 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1467 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1468 some broken encodings work correctly.
1471 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1472 is also one of the inputs.
1473 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1475 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1476 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1477 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1481 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1483 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1486 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1487 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1488 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1490 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1491 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1492 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1496 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1497 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1498 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1499 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1501 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1503 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1504 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1505 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1506 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1507 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1508 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1509 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1510 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1512 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1513 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1514 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1516 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1518 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1519 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1521 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1522 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1525 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1526 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1527 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1530 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1531 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1532 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1533 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1534 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1535 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1538 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1539 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1540 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1543 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1544 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1545 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1546 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1547 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1548 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1552 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1553 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1556 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1557 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1558 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1561 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1564 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1565 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1566 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1567 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1568 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1569 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1570 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1571 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1572 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1575 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1576 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1577 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1580 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1581 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1584 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1585 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1586 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1587 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1588 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1589 know what you are doing.
1590 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1592 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1593 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1594 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1595 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1596 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1597 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1601 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1602 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1603 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1605 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1607 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1608 warnings in other configurations.
1611 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1612 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1613 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1615 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1617 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1618 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1619 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1621 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1622 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1623 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1624 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1627 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1631 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1632 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1634 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1636 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1637 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1638 other than a simple chain.
1639 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1641 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1642 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1643 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1644 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1647 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1648 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1649 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1650 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1651 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1652 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1653 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1654 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1655 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1657 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1658 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1659 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1660 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1661 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1662 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1664 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1666 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1667 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1670 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1671 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1674 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1676 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1678 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1679 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1680 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1681 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1682 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1686 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1688 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1689 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1690 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1691 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1693 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1694 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1695 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1696 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1698 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1699 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1700 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1703 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1704 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1708 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1709 to handle some structures.
1712 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1714 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1716 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1719 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1722 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1725 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1726 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1730 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1732 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1734 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1736 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1739 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1740 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1741 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1742 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1744 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1745 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1747 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1748 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1751 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1752 s_client and s_server.
1755 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1756 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1758 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1759 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1761 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1762 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1763 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1764 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1765 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1768 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1770 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1771 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1774 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1775 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1778 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1779 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1780 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1781 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1783 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1784 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1786 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1788 *) Various precautionary measures:
1790 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1792 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1793 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1794 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1796 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1797 outside the expected range.
1799 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1802 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1804 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1805 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1806 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1808 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1811 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1814 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1816 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1819 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1820 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1821 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1823 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1826 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1827 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1828 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1832 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1834 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1835 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1836 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1837 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1839 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1840 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1843 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1845 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1846 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1847 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1849 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1851 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1852 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1853 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1854 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1857 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1858 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1859 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1860 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1861 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1862 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1863 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1865 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1867 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1868 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1869 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1870 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1871 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1873 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1874 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1876 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1877 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1878 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1879 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1880 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1882 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1884 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1885 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1886 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1887 sets may exist with different names.
1890 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1891 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1892 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1893 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1894 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1895 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1896 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1897 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1898 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1900 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1902 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1903 implemention in the following ways:
1905 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1908 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1909 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1910 ignored for embedded content.
1912 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1913 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1916 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1917 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1918 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1919 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1921 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1922 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1925 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1926 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1929 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1930 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1931 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1932 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1933 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1934 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1938 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1939 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1940 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1944 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1945 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1946 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1947 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1948 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1949 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1950 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1951 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32

1959 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1961 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1962 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1963 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1964 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1965 to s_client and s_server.
1968 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1970 *) Fix various bugs:
1971 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1972 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1973 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1974 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1975 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1977 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1979 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1980 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1981 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1982 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1983 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1984 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1985 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1986 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1989 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1990 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1991 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1994 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1995 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1996 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1999 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2000 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2003 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2004 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2005 with no application modification.
2007 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2008 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2010 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2011 or server extensions to be examined.
2013 This work was sponsored by Google.
2016 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2017 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2018 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2019 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2020 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2021 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2022 server_name extension.
2024 New functions (subject to change):
2026 SSL_get_servername()
2027 SSL_get_servername_type()
2030 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2032 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2033 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2034 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2035 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2036 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2038 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2040 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2041 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2042 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2043 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2044 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2045 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2048 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2050 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2053 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2056 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2057 (which previously caused an internal error).
2060 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2063 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2064 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2066 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2067 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2068 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2070 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2071 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2072 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2073 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2075 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2076 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2077 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2078 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2080 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2081 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2082 information. For detailed background information, see
2083 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2084 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2085 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2086 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2087 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2088 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2089 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2090 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2091 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2092 remove a conditional branch.
2094 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2095 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2096 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2097 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2098 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2099 remains as a deprecated alias.
2101 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2102 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2103 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2104 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2106 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2107 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2108 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2109 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2110 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2111 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2112 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2113 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2115 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2117 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2118 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2119 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2120 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2121 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2122 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2123 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2124 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2125 in a different context.
2128 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2129 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2130 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2133 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2134 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2135 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2137 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2139 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2140 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2141 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2142 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2143 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2146 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2147 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2148 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2149 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2150 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2151 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2154 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2155 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2156 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2157 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2158 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2161 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2162 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2164 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2165 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2166 Improve header file function name parsing.
2169 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2170 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2173 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2175 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2176 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2177 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2179 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2180 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2182 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2183 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2185 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2186 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2187 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2189 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2190 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2191 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2192 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2193 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2194 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2195 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2196 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2197 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2199 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2200 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2201 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2202 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2203 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2205 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2206 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2207 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2208 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2209 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2210 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2211 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2212 multiple values to extend the available space.
2216 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2218 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2219 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2221 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2224 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2225 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2226 undesirable limitations.
2227 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2229 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2230 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2231 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2232 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2233 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2234 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2235 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2238 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2240 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2241 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2242 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2244 The latter two were purportedly from
2245 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2248 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2249 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2250 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2253 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2254 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2257 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2258 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2259 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2260 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2262 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2263 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2264 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2267 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2268 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2269 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2270 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2271 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2272 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2275 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2277 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2278 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2281 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2282 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2284 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2285 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2286 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2287 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2290 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2291 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2294 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2295 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2296 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2297 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2298 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2299 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2300 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2304 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2305 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2306 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2307 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2310 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2311 under VC++ build system.
2314 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2315 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2318 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2320 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2321 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2322 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2323 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2324 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2326 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2327 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2328 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2330 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2333 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2334 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2337 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2338 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2340 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2343 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2344 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2346 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2347 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2350 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2351 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2355 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2357 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2360 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2363 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2364 key into the same file any more.
2367 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2370 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2371 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2373 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2374 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2377 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2378 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2379 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2380 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2381 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2382 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2384 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2385 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2386 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2389 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2390 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2391 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2392 - add new function for parameter creation
2393 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2394 BN_BLINDING parameters
2395 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2396 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2397 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2401 *) Add support for DTLS.
2402 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2404 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2405 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2408 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2409 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2412 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2413 the apps/openssl applications.
2416 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2417 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2418 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2421 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2422 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2424 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2425 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2427 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2428 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2429 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2430 avoid this algorithm.)
2434 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2435 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2436 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2439 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2440 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2443 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2444 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2445 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2448 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2450 The blank line is mandatory.
2454 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2455 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2459 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2460 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2462 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2463 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2464 to support policy checking and print out.
2467 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2468 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2469 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2470 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2472 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2475 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2476 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2478 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2479 implementation contributed by IBM.
2480 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2482 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2483 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2484 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2485 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2487 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2488 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2490 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2491 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2492 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2493 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2494 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2495 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2498 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2499 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2500 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2501 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2502 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2503 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2504 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2507 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2510 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2511 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2512 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2513 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2514 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2515 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2516 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2517 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2520 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2521 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2522 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2523 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2526 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2529 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2532 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2533 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2534 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2535 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2536 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2537 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2538 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2541 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2542 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2545 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2546 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2547 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2550 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2551 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2552 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2556 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2557 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2560 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2561 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2562 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2563 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2566 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2567 initialised value as BN_new().
2568 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2570 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2573 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2574 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2575 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2576 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2577 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2578 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2579 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2580 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2581 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2582 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2583 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2584 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2585 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2586 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2587 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2589 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2590 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2591 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2592 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2595 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2596 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2597 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2598 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2599 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2600 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2601 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2602 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2603 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2606 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2607 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2608 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2609 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2610 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2611 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2612 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2615 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2616 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2617 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2618 these have been updated also.
2621 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2622 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2623 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2624 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2625 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2629 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2630 structure of type "other".
2633 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2634 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2635 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2636 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2637 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2638 situation in the script.
2639 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2641 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2642 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2643 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2644 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2645 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2646 used as premaster secret.
2647 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2649 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2650 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2651 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2653 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2654 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2656 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2657 control of the error stack.
2660 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2663 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2664 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2665 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2666 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2669 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2670 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2671 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2674 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2675 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2676 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2680 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2681 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2682 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2683 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2686 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2687 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2688 the following flags are defined:
2690 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2691 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2692 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2695 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2696 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2697 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2698 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2702 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2703 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2704 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2705 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2706 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2709 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2710 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2711 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2714 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2715 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2716 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2717 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2718 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2719 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2722 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2726 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2729 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2732 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2735 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2736 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2737 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2738 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2739 default implementation more easily.
2742 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2746 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2747 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2750 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2751 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2752 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2753 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2755 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2756 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2757 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2758 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2761 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2762 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2766 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2767 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2768 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2769 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2770 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2771 scalar * generator).
2772 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2774 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2775 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2776 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2780 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2781 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2782 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2783 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2784 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2785 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2786 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2787 linker additions, eg;
2788 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2791 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2792 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2793 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2796 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2797 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2798 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2802 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2803 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2804 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2805 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2808 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2809 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2810 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2811 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2812 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2813 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2814 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2815 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2816 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2817 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2819 Example for using the new callback interface:
2821 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2825 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2827 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2828 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2829 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2830 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2831 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2832 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2837 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2838 available to TLS with the number defined in
2839 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2842 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2843 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2845 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2846 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2847 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2848 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2850 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2851 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2853 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2854 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2858 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2859 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2862 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2863 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2864 and a macro that behave like
2865 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2867 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2870 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2871 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2872 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2874 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2876 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2879 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2880 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2881 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2882 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2884 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2885 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2886 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2887 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2888 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2889 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2890 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2891 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2893 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2894 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2897 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2898 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2900 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2901 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2902 files while avoiding the low level API.
2904 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2905 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2906 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2907 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2909 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2910 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2911 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2912 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2913 instead of the low level API.
2916 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2917 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2918 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2919 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2920 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2923 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2924 down to the template encoder.
2927 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2928 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2931 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2932 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2933 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2934 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2936 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2937 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2939 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2940 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2942 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2943 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2946 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2947 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2948 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2951 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2952 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2954 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2955 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2957 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2958 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2961 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2965 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2966 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2967 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2968 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2969 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2970 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2972 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2973 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2976 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2977 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2978 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2979 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2980 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2981 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2982 various internal method names.)
2984 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2985 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2987 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2988 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2990 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2991 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2993 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2994 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2995 methods are undefined.
2997 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2998 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3000 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3001 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3002 length of the modulus.
3004 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3005 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3007 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3008 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3010 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3011 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3013 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3014 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3015 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3018 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3019 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3020 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3021 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3023 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3024 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3025 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3026 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3028 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3029 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3031 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3032 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3033 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3034 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3035 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3037 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3038 This applies to the following functions:
3043 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3044 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3046 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3047 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3051 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3056 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3058 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3059 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3060 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3061 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3062 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3064 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3065 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3067 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3068 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3069 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3071 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3072 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3074 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3075 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3076 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3077 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3078 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3080 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3082 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3083 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3084 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3085 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3086 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3087 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3088 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3089 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3090 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3091 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3092 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3093 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3095 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3098 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3099 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3100 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3101 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3103 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3104 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3105 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3106 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3111 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3112 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3113 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3114 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3115 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3117 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3118 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3119 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3120 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3121 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3122 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3123 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3124 adding different types of curves.
3125 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3127 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3128 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3129 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3132 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3133 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3135 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3136 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3137 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3138 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3140 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3142 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3143 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3145 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3146 library. Most notably,
3147 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3148 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3149 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3150 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3151 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3152 extracted before the specific public key;
3153 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3154 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3156 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3157 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3159 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3160 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3161 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3162 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3164 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3165 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3166 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3168 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3169 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3170 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3171 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3172 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3173 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3177 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3179 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3181 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3183 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3184 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3185 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3188 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3189 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3190 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3193 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3196 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3197 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3200 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3201 run algorithm test programs.
3204 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3207 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3208 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3209 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3210 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3211 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3214 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3215 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3218 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3220 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3221 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3222 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3224 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3225 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3227 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3228 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3230 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3231 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3232 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3234 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3235 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3236 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3237 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3238 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3239 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3240 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3243 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3245 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3246 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3248 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3249 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3250 undesirable limitations.
3251 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3253 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3255 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3256 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3257 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3259 The latter two were purportedly from
3260 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3263 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3264 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3265 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3268 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3269 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3272 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3274 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3275 module in FIPS mode.
3278 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3281 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3282 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3283 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3284 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3287 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3289 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3290 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3291 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3292 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3293 the difference induced by this change.
3296 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3298 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3299 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3300 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3301 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3302 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3304 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3305 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3306 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3308 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3309 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3312 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3313 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3314 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3315 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3319 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3320 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3321 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3322 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3323 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3325 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3326 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3327 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3328 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3329 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3330 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3332 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3334 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3335 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3336 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3337 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3338 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3341 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3345 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3346 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3347 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3350 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3351 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3352 structures constant.
3355 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3357 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3360 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3361 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3362 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3363 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3364 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3365 some needed definitions.
3368 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3371 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3372 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3373 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3374 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3377 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3379 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3380 server and client random values. Previously
3381 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3382 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3384 This change has negligible security impact because:
3386 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3389 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3392 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3393 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3396 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3399 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3401 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3404 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3405 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3406 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3408 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3411 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3412 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3415 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3416 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3417 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3419 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3422 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3423 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3424 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3428 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3429 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3430 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3431 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3433 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3434 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3435 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3436 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3440 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3442 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3443 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3444 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3445 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3446 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3449 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3452 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3453 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3455 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3456 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3457 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3458 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3459 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3460 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3461 rather than being initialized to 1.
3464 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3466 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3467 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3468 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3470 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3472 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3474 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3475 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3476 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3477 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3478 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3479 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3482 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3483 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3484 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3485 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3486 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3490 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3491 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3492 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3493 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3494 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3497 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3498 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3499 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3503 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3504 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3506 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3509 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3511 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3513 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3514 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3516 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3518 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3519 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3523 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3524 exiting on the first error in a request.
3527 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3528 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3532 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3533 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3534 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3535 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3537 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3538 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3541 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3542 blocks during encryption.
3545 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3546 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3547 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3548 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3552 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3553 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3554 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3555 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3556 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3560 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3562 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3563 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3564 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3565 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3568 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3569 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3570 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3571 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3572 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3574 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3575 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3576 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3577 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3578 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3579 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3580 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3581 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3582 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3585 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3586 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3587 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3588 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3591 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3592 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3595 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3597 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3598 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3599 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3600 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3601 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3603 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3604 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3605 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3607 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3608 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3609 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3610 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3611 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3613 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3614 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3615 used by default when no-err is given.
3618 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3619 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3621 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3622 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3623 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3624 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3625 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3627 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3628 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3629 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3630 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3632 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3634 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3636 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3638 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3639 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are

3646 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3648 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3649 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3652 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3653 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3654 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3655 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3658 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3659 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3660 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3661 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3662 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3663 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3664 followup to PR #377.
3667 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3668 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3671 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3672 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3673 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3678 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3681 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3682 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3683 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

3695 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3696 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3697 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3698 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3699 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3700 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3702 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3703 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3704 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3705 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3706 have to be made anyway).
3709 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3710 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3711 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3714 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3715 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3716 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3719 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3720 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3721 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3723 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3724 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3725 edit numbers of the version.
3726 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3728 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3729 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3730 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3732 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3733 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3735 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3736 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

3760 representations in a platform independent manner.

3817 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3819 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3821 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3824 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3825 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

3830 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3831 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3832 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3833 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3835 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3836 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3837 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3839 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3840 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3841 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3842 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3844 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3845 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3846 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3849 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3850 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3851 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3852 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3853 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3854 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3855 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3856 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3859 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3860 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3861 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3864 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3865 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3866 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3867 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3868 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3870 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3871 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3873 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3874 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3877 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3878 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3879 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3880 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3881 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3882 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3885 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3886 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3887 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3890 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3891 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3894 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3895 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3896 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3897 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3898 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3899 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3900 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3903 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3904 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3905 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3906 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3907 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3908 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3911 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3912 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3913 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3914 declaration has been changed from
3917 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3918 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3919 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3920 has been changed into
3921 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3923 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3924 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3925 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3927 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3928 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3930 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3931 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3932 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3933 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3934 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3935 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3936 always load it have also been added.
3939 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3940 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3941 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3943 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3945 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3946 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3947 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3949 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3950 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3951 command line option can be used to specify an
3955 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3956 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3959 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3960 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3961 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3964 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3965 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3966 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3967 to work with the new engine framework.
3968 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3970 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3971 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3972 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3973 to work with the new engine framework.
3976 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3977 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3978 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3980 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3981 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3983 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3984 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3985 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3986 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3988 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3990 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3991 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3993 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3994 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3996 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3997 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3998 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4001 *) Add new functions
4003 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4004 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4005 These are similar to
4008 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4009 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4010 still in the error queue.
4011 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4013 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4015 default_algorithms = ALL
4016 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4019 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4022 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4025 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4026 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4027 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4028 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4030 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4031 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4033 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4034 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4036 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4037 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4040 *) New functions/macros
4042 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4043 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4044 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4045 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4047 to request calling a callback function
4049 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4050 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4052 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4053 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4054 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4055 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4056 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4057 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4058 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4059 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4060 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4061 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4063 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4064 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4067 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4068 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4069 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4070 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4071 the configuration scripts.
4073 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4074 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4075 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4077 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4078 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4080 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4081 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4082 when reusing an existing buffer.
4085 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4086 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4089 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4090 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4093 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4094 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4095 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4096 has the same effect.
4097 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4099 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4100 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4101 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4102 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4103 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4104 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4107 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4108 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4109 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4110 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4112 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4113 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4114 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4115 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4117 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4118 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4121 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4122 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4123 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4124 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4125 default), and then completely removed.
4128 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4129 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4130 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4131 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4132 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4133 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4134 particular extension is supported.
4137 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4138 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4141 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4142 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4143 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4144 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4145 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4146 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4147 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4148 requires the destination to be valid.
4150 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4151 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4154 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4155 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4156 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4159 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4160 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4162 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4163 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4164 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4165 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4166 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4167 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4168 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4169 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4170 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4171 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4172 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4173 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4174 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4175 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4176 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4177 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4178 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4179 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4180 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4184 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4187 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4188 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4189 become part of libeay.num as well.
4192 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4193 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4194 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4195 false once a handshake has been completed.
4196 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4197 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4198 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4199 client has followed the request.)
4202 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4203 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4204 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4205 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4207 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4208 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4209 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4212 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4215 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4216 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4217 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4220 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4221 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4224 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4225 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4226 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4227 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4230 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4231 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4232 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4233 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4234 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4235 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4238 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4239 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4240 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4241 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4242 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4243 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4244 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4245 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4248 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4249 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4252 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4255 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4256 md_data void pointer.
4259 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4260 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4261 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4262 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4263 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4264 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4267 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4268 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4269 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4270 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4271 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4272 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4273 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4274 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4275 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4276 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4277 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4278 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4279 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4280 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4281 rather than letting it slide.
4283 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4284 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4285 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4288 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4289 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4290 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4291 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4292 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4293 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4294 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4295 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4296 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4299 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4300 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4301 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4302 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4303 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4305 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4308 *) Add EVP test program.
4311 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4314 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4315 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4316 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4317 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4318 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4321 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4322 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4323 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4324 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4325 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4326 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4327 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4329 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4330 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4331 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4336 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4337 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4338 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4339 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4340 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4344 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4345 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4346 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4347 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4350 des_key_schedule ks;
4352 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4353 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4355 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4358 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4359 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4360 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4361 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4362 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4363 functions prevents this.
4366 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4369 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4370 correct _ecb suffix.
4373 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4374 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4375 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4376 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4377 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4380 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4383 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4384 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4385 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4386 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4388 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4389 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4391 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4392 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4393 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4394 via Richard Levitte]
4396 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4397 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4398 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4399 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4402 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4405 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4406 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

4420 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4421 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4423 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4424 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4425 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4426 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4427 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4428 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4431 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4432 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4435 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4436 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4437 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4438 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4440 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4441 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4442 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4443 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4444 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4445 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4449 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4450 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4451 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4452 and interrupts/cancellations.
4455 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4456 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4459 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4460 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4461 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4463 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4464 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4468 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4469 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4470 than this minimum value is recommended.
4473 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4474 that are easily reachable.
4477 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4478 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4480 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4482 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4483 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4484 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4485 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4488 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4489 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4490 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4493 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4494 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4495 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4496 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4497 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4498 internally such as S/MIME.
4500 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4501 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4502 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4504 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4508 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4509 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4510 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4511 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4513 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4515 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4517 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4518 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4519 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4523 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4524 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4525 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4526 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4527 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4528 a window system and the like.
4531 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4532 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4535 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4536 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4537 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4538 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4539 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4540 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4541 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4542 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4543 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4547 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4548 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4552 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4553 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4554 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4555 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4556 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4557 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4558 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4559 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4562 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4563 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4564 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4565 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4566 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4567 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4568 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4569 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4570 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4571 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4572 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4573 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4574 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4575 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4576 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4577 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4578 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4581 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4582 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4583 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4584 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4585 internal engine_int.h header.
4588 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4589 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4590 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4591 modify their own ones).
4594 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4595 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4596 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4597 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4598 later on via ctrl() commands.
4599 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4600 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4601 structural references.
4602 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4603 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4604 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4605 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4606 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4607 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4608 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4609 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4610 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4611 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4612 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4613 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4616 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4617 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4618 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4619 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4620 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4621 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4622 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4623 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4626 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4627 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4630 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4631 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4634 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4635 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4636 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4637 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4638 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4639 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4640 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4643 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4644 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4645 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4646 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4647 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4649 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4650 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4654 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4656 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4657 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4658 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4660 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4661 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4663 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4664 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4665 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4667 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4668 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4670 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4671 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4673 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4675 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4676 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4677 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4680 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4681 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4684 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4685 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4686 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4687 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4688 is 40 of more characters long.
4691 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4692 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4696 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4697 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4700 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4701 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4705 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4707 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4708 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4711 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4713 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4714 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4715 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4717 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4718 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4720 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4723 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4727 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4728 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4729 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4730 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4732 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4734 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4735 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4737 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4738 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4739 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4740 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4741 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4742 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4744 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4745 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4747 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4748 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4750 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4751 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4753 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4754 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4755 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4756 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4758 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4759 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4761 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4762 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4764 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4765 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4766 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4767 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4768 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4771 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4772 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4773 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4774 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4777 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4778 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4779 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4783 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4784 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4785 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4786 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4787 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4788 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4789 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4790 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4794 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4795 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4798 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4799 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4800 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4801 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4804 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4805 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4806 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4807 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4808 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4809 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4810 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4811 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4812 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4813 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4816 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4817 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4818 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4819 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4820 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4821 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4822 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4823 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4825 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4826 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4827 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4828 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4831 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4832 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4833 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4834 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4836 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4837 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4838 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4839 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4840 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4844 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4845 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4846 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4847 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4851 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4852 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4853 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4856 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4857 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4858 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4859 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4860 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4863 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4866 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4867 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4868 option to ocsp utility.
4871 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4872 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4873 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4874 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4875 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4876 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4877 the request is nonce-less.
4880 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4881 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4882 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4885 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4886 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4887 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4890 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4891 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4892 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4893 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4894 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4897 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4898 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4902 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4903 additional certificates supplied.
4906 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4907 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4911 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4912 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4915 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4916 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4917 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4918 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4919 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4920 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4921 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4922 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4923 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4925 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4926 request to response.
4929 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4930 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4931 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4932 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4933 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4934 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4935 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4936 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4937 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4938 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4939 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4942 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4943 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4944 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4945 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4948 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4949 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4951 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4952 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4953 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4956 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4957 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4958 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4959 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4960 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4962 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4963 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4964 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4967 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4968 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4969 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4970 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4971 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4972 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4973 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4974 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4976 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4977 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4978 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4979 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4980 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4981 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4984 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4985 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4986 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4987 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4988 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4989 printout format cleaned up.
4992 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4993 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4994 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4995 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4996 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4997 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4998 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4999 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5002 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5003 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5004 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5005 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5006 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5007 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5008 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5009 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5012 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5013 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5014 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5015 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5017 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5019 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5020 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5021 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5022 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5025 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5026 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5027 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5028 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5030 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5032 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5033 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5034 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5035 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5037 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5038 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5040 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5041 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5042 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5045 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5046 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5047 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5050 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5051 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5052 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5053 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5054 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5055 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5056 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5057 functions are provided:
5059 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5060 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5061 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5062 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5064 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5065 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5066 extended allocation function is enabled.
5067 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5068 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5069 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5071 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5072 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5073 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5074 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5075 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5078 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5079 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5080 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5082 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5083 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5084 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5087 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5088 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5089 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5090 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5091 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5092 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5093 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5094 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5095 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5098 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5099 provide utility functions which an application needing
5100 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5101 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5102 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5104 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5105 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5106 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5107 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5108 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5109 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5110 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5111 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5112 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5114 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5115 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5116 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5117 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5120 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5121 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5122 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5123 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5124 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5125 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5126 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5127 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5128 will be added elsewhere.
5131 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5132 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5133 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5134 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5137 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5138 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5139 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5140 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5141 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5142 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5143 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5144 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5145 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5146 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5147 to produce the required SET OF.
5150 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5151 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5152 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5155 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5156 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5157 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5158 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5159 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5160 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5163 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5164 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5165 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5168 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5169 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5170 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5173 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5174 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5175 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5176 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5177 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5180 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5181 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5184 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5185 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5186 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5187 certifcates and CRLs.
5190 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5191 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5192 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5195 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5196 entries for variables.
5199 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5200 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5201 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5202 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5205 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5206 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5207 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5208 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5209 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5210 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5213 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5214 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5216 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5217 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5218 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5221 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5225 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5226 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5227 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5228 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5229 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5230 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5233 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5236 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5237 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5238 for now but they will eventually go away.
5241 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5242 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5243 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5244 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5245 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5246 has also been converted to the new form.
5249 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5250 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5251 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5252 for negative moduli.
5255 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5256 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5259 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5263 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5264 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5265 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5266 type-specific callbacks.
5269 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5271 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5272 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5274 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5275 in sections depending on the subject.
5278 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5282 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5283 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5284 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5285 be handled deterministically).
5286 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5288 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5289 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5290 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5293 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5296 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5297 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5298 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5299 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5300 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5303 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5304 sign of the number in question.
5306 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5308 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5309 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5310 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5311 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5312 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5315 *) New function BN_swap.
5318 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5319 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5320 results on negative inputs.
5323 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5324 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5325 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5328 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5329 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5330 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5331 and add new functions:
5340 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5344 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5346 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5347 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5349 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5350 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5351 be reduced modulo m.
5352 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5355 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5356 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5357 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5359 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5360 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5361 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5362 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5363 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5364 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5369 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5370 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5371 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5372 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5373 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5375 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5376 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5377 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5381 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5384 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5385 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5388 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5389 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5390 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5391 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5395 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5398 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5401 *) Add the following functions:
5403 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5405 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5407 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5409 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5410 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5411 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5412 libraries unless it's really needed.
5414 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5415 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5416 declarations (they differed!).
5419 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5422 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5425 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5428 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5429 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5432 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5433 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5434 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5436 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5437 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5440 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5443 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5446 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5449 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5450 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5451 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5453 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5454 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5455 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5456 different shared library filenames on each system.
5459 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5462 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5463 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5464 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5466 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5469 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5470 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5471 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5472 binary backward compatibility.
5473 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5474 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5475 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5479 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5480 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5481 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5482 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5486 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5489 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5490 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5491 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5492 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5496 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5499 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5501 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5502 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5503 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5505 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5507 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5509 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5510 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5513 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5515 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5517 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5518 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5520 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5521 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5525 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5526 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5530 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5531 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5532 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5533 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5535 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5536 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5539 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5541 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5542 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5543 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5544 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5547 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5548 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5549 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5550 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5551 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5553 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5554 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5555 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5556 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5557 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5558 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5559 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5560 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5561 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5564 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5566 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5567 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5568 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5569 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5570 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5572 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5573 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5574 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5576 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5578 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5579 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5580 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5581 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5582 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5583 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5586 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5587 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5588 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5589 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5590 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5593 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5594 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5595 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5597 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5598 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5599 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5603 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5604 being properly terminated.
5607 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5608 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5609 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5610 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5612 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5613 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5614 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5615 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5616 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5617 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5618 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5620 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5622 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5623 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5626 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5627 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5628 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5629 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5630 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5631 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5632 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5633 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5635 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5636 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5637 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5638 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5639 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5641 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5642 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5645 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5647 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5648 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5649 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5651 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5653 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5654 and get fix the header length calculation.
5655 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5656 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5659 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5660 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5661 assertions could call abort()).
5662 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5664 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5666 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5667 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5668 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5670 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5672 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5673 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5674 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5677 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5681 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5682 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5683 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5685 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5686 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5687 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5688 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5689 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5693 *) Changes in security patch:
5695 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5696 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5697 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5700 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5701 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5702 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5703 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5704 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5706 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5708 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5710 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5711 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5712 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5714 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5715 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5716 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5718 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5719 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5720 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5722 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5724 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5725 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5726 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5728 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5729 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5731 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5732 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5733 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5734 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5735 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5736 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5739 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5740 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5741 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5742 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5745 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5748 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5749 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5750 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5751 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5752 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5753 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5755 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5756 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5757 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5758 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5759 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5762 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5763 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5764 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5765 BN_generate_prime().)
5767 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5768 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5769 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5773 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5774 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5777 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5778 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5779 when using non-blocking I/O.
5780 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5782 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5783 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5785 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5786 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5789 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5790 configuration for the versions before that.
5791 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5793 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5794 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5795 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5796 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5799 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5800 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5801 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5804 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5808 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5809 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5810 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5812 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5813 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5815 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5816 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5817 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5818 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5819 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5820 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5821 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5824 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5825 using a local variable.
5826 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5828 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5829 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5830 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5832 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5835 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5836 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5838 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5839 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5840 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5842 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5844 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5845 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5846 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5847 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5850 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5854 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5855 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5856 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5857 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5858 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5860 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5861 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5862 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5864 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5865 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5866 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5868 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5869 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5870 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5871 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5873 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5874 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5875 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5877 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5879 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5880 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5882 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5884 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5885 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5886 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5887 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5889 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5890 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5891 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5892 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5894 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5895 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5897 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5898 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5899 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5902 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5903 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5904 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5906 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5908 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5909 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5910 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5911 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5912 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5913 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5914 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5917 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5918 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5919 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5920 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5922 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5923 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5924 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5925 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5926 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5927 the client will at least see that alert.
5930 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5934 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5935 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5936 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5938 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5939 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5940 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5941 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5944 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5945 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5946 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5948 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5949 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5950 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5951 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5952 may leak via logfiles.)
5954 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5955 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5956 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5957 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5961 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5962 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5965 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5966 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5967 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5968 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5969 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5972 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5973 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5975 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5976 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5977 followed by modular reduction.
5978 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5980 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5981 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5984 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5985 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5986 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5987 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5990 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5993 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5994 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5997 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5998 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5999 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6000 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6001 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6002 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6004 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6006 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6007 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6008 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6009 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6010 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6012 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6015 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6016 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6017 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6018 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6019 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6020 to allow the necessary settings.
6023 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6024 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6025 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6026 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6029 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6030 dh->length and always used
6032 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6034 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6035 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6036 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6037 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6038 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6043 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6045 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6051 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6052 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6053 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6054 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6056 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6057 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6058 always reject numbers >= n.
6061 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6062 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6063 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6064 variable) is not atomic.
6067 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6068 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6069 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6070 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6072 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6073 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6075 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6077 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6079 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6082 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6084 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6085 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6086 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6087 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6088 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6089 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6090 to traverse all of 'state'.
6092 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6093 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6094 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6096 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6097 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6099 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6100 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6101 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6102 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6103 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6104 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6105 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6106 further strengthens the PRNG.
6109 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6112 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6113 an error message in this case.
6116 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6119 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6120 positive and less than q.
6123 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6124 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6126 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6128 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6129 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6133 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6135 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6136 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6137 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6138 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6139 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6140 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6141 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6144 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6145 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6146 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6147 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6149 Both problems are now fixed.
6152 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6153 (previously it was 1024).
6156 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6157 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6160 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6163 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6164 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6165 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6168 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6169 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6170 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6171 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6172 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6173 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6174 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6175 environment variables.
6177 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6178 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6179 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6182 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6183 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6184 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6185 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6186 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6187 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6190 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6194 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6196 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6197 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6199 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6200 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6201 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6202 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6206 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6207 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6208 amount of data available.
6209 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6210 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6212 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6213 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6214 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6215 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6218 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6219 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6223 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6224 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6225 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6226 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6229 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6232 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6235 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6236 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6238 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6240 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6241 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6242 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6243 (but broken) behaviour.
6246 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6248 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6250 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6251 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6254 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6258 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6259 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6261 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6264 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6265 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6266 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6268 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6269 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6270 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6273 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6274 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6277 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6278 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6280 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6282 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6284 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6285 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6286 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6287 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6290 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6293 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6294 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6295 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6297 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6300 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6302 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6303 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6304 but the code is actually correct.
6307 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6308 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6309 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6310 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6311 and leaves the highest bit random.
6312 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6314 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6315 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6316 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6317 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6318 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6319 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6320 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6323 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6326 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6327 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6330 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6331 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6332 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6333 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6337 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6338 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6339 and break the signature.
6341 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6343 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6347 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6348 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6349 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6350 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6351 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6354 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6355 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6357 *) ./config script fixes.
6358 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6360 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6363 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6364 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6365 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6366 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6367 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6369 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6370 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6373 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6374 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6377 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6378 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6379 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6380 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6382 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6383 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6385 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6386 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6387 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6388 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6389 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6391 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6394 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6397 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6400 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6403 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6404 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6407 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6408 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6409 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6410 result of the server certificate verification.)
6413 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6414 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6415 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6419 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6420 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6421 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6422 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6423 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6424 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6425 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6426 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6429 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6430 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6431 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6432 happening the other way round.
6435 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6436 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6439 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6440 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6441 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6442 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6445 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6446 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6448 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6450 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6451 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6452 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6455 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6457 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6459 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6463 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6465 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6466 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6467 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6468 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6469 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6471 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6472 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6476 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6479 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6481 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6482 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6483 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6484 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6485 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6486 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6487 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6488 by the Finished messages.
6491 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6492 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6494 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6495 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6496 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6497 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6498 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6502 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6503 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6504 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6505 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6506 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6507 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6508 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6509 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6510 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6514 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6515 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6516 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6517 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6519 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6520 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6521 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6522 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6523 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6526 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6527 been tested well enough.
6530 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6531 it can return incorrect results.
6532 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6533 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6536 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6537 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6538 include zero length content when signing messages.
6541 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6542 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6545 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6548 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6552 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6553 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6554 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6555 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6556 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6557 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6560 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6561 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6563 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6564 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6566 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6567 random number < q in the DSA library.
6570 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6571 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6572 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6573 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6574 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6575 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6576 just makes things more complicated.)
6579 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6583 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6584 work better on such systems.
6585 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6587 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6588 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6589 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6592 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6593 if there was more than one signature.
6594 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6596 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6597 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6598 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6599 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6602 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6603 rather than always using the current time.
6606 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6607 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6608 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6609 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6610 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6611 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6613 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6614 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6616 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6618 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6619 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6620 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6621 the same hash value.
6623 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6624 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6625 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6626 with X509_STORE internally.
6628 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6629 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6631 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6632 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6633 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6634 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6635 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6636 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6637 entirely (maybe later...).
6639 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6641 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6642 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6643 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6644 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6645 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6646 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6647 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6648 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6650 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6651 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6653 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6654 to customise the verify behaviour.
6657 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6658 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6661 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6662 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6663 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6664 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6665 request is improperly encoded.
6668 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6669 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6672 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6673 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6675 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6676 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6680 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6681 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6682 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6685 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6686 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6687 BIO/fp routines also added.
6690 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6691 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6693 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6694 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6695 demos/state_machine.
6698 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6699 generation and verification.
6702 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6703 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6704 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6705 encode and decode it manually.
6708 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6710 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6712 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6713 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6714 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6715 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6717 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6718 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6719 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6720 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6721 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6724 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6727 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6728 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6729 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6731 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6732 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6733 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6734 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6735 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6736 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6737 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6738 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6740 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6741 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6743 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6745 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6746 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6747 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6751 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6752 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6753 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6754 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6758 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6760 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6763 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6764 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6765 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6766 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6767 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6768 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6769 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6770 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6771 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6772 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6773 short or long names are found.
6776 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6777 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6779 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6780 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6781 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6782 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6784 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6785 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6786 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6787 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6790 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6791 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6792 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6795 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6796 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6797 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6798 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6799 to allow the various flags to be set.
6802 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6803 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6804 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6805 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6806 dates to be checked.
6809 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6810 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6811 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6814 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6815 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6816 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6819 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6820 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6823 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6824 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6825 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6826 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6827 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6828 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6831 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6832 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6836 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6840 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6841 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6842 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6843 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6844 form signing output easier to verify.
6847 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6850 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6851 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6852 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6853 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6854 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6855 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6856 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6857 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6858 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6859 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6862 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6864 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6865 the syntax given in objects.README.
6866 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6868 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6871 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6872 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6873 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6874 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6875 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6876 consistent name changes.
6879 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6882 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6883 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6884 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6885 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6888 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6889 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6890 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6894 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6895 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6896 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6897 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6900 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6901 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6902 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6903 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6904 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6905 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6906 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6907 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6908 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6909 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6910 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6913 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6914 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6915 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6916 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6917 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6918 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6919 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6920 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6921 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6922 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6925 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6926 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6927 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6928 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6930 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6931 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6932 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6933 omit any duplicate addresses.
6936 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6937 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6940 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6941 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6942 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6943 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6944 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6947 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6949 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6950 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6951 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6952 Free => OPENSSL_free
6955 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6956 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6959 *) CygWin32 support.
6960 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6962 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6963 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6964 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6965 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6966 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6970 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6971 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6972 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6973 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6974 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6975 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6976 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6979 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6980 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6981 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6982 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6983 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6984 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6985 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6986 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6987 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6988 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6989 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6992 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6993 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6994 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6995 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6996 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6998 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6999 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7000 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7001 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7002 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7004 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7007 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7008 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7009 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7010 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7012 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7014 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7017 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7018 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7019 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7022 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7023 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7024 any installed hardware versions can.
7027 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7028 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7029 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7033 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7034 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7035 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7036 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7037 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7039 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7040 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7043 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7044 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7047 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7048 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7049 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7053 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7056 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7057 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7058 but no ssl client purpose.
7059 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7061 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7062 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7063 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7064 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7065 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7066 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7067 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7068 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7069 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7070 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7071 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7074 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7075 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7076 be obtained from the error queue.
7079 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7080 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7081 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7082 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7085 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7088 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7089 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7090 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7091 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7092 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7095 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7096 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7097 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7098 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7099 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7102 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7103 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7104 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7106 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7108 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7109 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7110 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7111 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7112 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7113 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7114 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7115 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7116 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7117 or "the configuration storage API"...
7119 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7121 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7122 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7124 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7126 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7128 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7129 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7130 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7131 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7132 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7133 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7134 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7136 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7137 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7140 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7141 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7142 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7143 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7146 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7147 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7148 them in a portable way.
7149 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7151 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7153 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7155 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7156 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7158 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7159 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7160 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7163 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7164 was larger than the MD block size.
7165 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7167 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7168 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7169 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7170 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7174 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7175 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7176 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7178 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7180 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7182 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7183 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7184 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7185 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7186 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7187 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7189 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7190 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7192 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7193 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7196 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7199 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7200 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7202 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7203 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7204 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7205 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7208 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7209 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7210 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7211 does not suppress any output.
7214 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7215 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7216 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7217 with all the associated security issues.
7219 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7220 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7221 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7222 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7223 use the value in the default purpose.
7226 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7227 and fix a memory leak.
7230 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7231 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7232 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7233 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7236 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7237 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7238 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7239 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7242 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7243 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7244 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7247 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7248 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7251 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7252 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7256 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7257 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7260 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7261 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7262 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7265 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7266 number generation fails.
7269 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7272 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7273 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7275 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7278 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7279 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7281 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7282 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7284 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7286 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7287 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7290 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7291 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7293 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7294 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7297 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7298 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7299 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7300 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7301 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7302 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7304 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7305 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7306 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7310 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7311 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7312 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7313 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7314 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7315 counter, some don't.)
7316 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7317 counters or duplicate objects.
7320 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7321 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7324 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7325 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7326 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7328 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7329 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7330 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7334 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7335 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7338 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7339 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7340 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7344 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7345 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7346 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7349 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7350 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7351 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7352 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7353 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7354 should work without changes.
7357 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7358 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7359 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7360 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7361 must be defined. E.g.,
7362 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7363 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7364 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7365 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7367 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7371 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7372 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7373 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7376 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7377 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7378 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7379 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7382 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7383 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7384 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7385 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7386 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7387 is prompted for as usual.
7390 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7391 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7392 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7393 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7395 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7396 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7397 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7398 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7401 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7404 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7408 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7411 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7414 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7418 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7421 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7424 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7425 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7428 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7429 options to produce them.
7432 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7433 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7436 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7440 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7441 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7442 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7443 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7444 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7445 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7446 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7449 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7452 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7453 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7454 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7457 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7458 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7460 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7461 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7464 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7465 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7466 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7470 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7471 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7473 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7474 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7475 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7476 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7477 generation becomes much faster.
7479 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7480 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7481 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7482 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7483 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7484 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7485 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7486 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7487 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7488 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7491 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7492 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7493 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7494 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7495 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7496 trial division stage.
7499 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7503 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7506 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7509 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7510 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7511 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7515 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7516 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7517 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7520 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7521 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7522 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7523 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7525 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7526 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7529 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7532 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7533 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7534 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7535 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7538 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7539 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7540 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7543 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7544 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7545 (instead of parameters) in future.
7548 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7549 when a new cipher list is set.
7552 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7553 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7556 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7557 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7558 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7560 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7561 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7562 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7563 an error is flagged.
7565 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7566 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7567 the readability was also increased :-)
7568 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7570 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7571 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7572 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7573 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7577 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7578 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7581 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7582 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7583 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7584 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7587 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7588 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7589 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7590 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7591 because they handle more complex structures.)
7594 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7595 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7596 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7597 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7599 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7600 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7601 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7602 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7603 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7604 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7605 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7608 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7609 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7610 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7611 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7612 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7615 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7618 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7619 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7620 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7621 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7622 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7625 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7629 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7630 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7631 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7632 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7635 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7638 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7639 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7640 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7641 international characters are used.
7643 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7644 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7645 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7649 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7650 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7651 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7654 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7655 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7656 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7657 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7658 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7659 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7661 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7662 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7663 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7664 be handled by the string table functions.
7666 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7667 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7668 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7669 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7670 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7674 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7675 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7676 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7677 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7678 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7680 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7681 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7682 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7683 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7686 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7687 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7688 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7689 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7690 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7694 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7695 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7696 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7697 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7698 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7699 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7700 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7701 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7703 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7704 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7705 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7708 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7709 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7710 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7711 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7712 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7713 support to pkcs8 application.
7716 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7717 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7718 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7719 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7720 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7721 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7724 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7725 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7726 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7727 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7728 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7732 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7733 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7734 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7735 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7739 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7740 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7741 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7742 and any application specific purposes.
7744 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7745 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7746 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7747 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7748 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7749 if the certificate is self signed.
7752 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7753 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7756 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7757 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7758 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7759 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7762 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7763 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7764 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7765 Update documentation.
7768 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7769 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7770 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7771 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7772 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7775 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7777 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7779 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7780 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7781 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7782 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7783 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7784 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7785 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7786 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7787 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7788 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7790 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7792 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7793 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7794 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7795 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7796 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7798 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7799 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7800 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7801 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7802 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7803 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7804 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7805 request additional information:
7806 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7807 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7809 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7810 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7811 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7814 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7815 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7818 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7821 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7822 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7824 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7825 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7826 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7830 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7831 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7832 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7834 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7835 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7836 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7837 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7838 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7839 included in OpenSSL.
7842 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7843 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7844 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7845 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7846 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7847 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7850 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7854 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7855 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7856 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7857 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7858 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7862 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7866 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7867 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7868 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7869 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7870 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7871 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7872 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7873 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7874 be maintained manually.
7876 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7877 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7878 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7879 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7880 work because people forget to call this function]
7881 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7882 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7883 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7886 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7887 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7888 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7889 should be discouraged from doing it.
7892 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7893 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7894 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7895 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7896 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7897 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7900 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7901 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7902 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7904 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7905 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7906 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7908 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7909 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7910 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7911 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7912 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7913 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7915 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7916 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7917 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7919 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7920 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7923 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7924 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7925 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7926 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7929 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7932 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7933 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7934 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7935 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7936 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7937 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7938 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7939 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7940 keys so we should be OK.
7942 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7943 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7944 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7945 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7946 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7947 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7948 stay in the name of compatibility.
7950 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7951 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7952 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7954 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7955 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7956 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7957 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7958 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7959 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7963 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7964 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7965 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7966 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7967 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7968 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7969 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7970 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7971 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7972 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7973 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7974 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7975 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7978 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7981 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7982 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7983 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7984 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7985 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7986 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7987 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7988 openssl verify ss.pem
7989 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7990 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7994 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7995 (and add it to external session representation).
7996 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7997 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7998 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7999 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8000 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8001 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8003 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8005 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8006 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8007 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8008 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8010 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8011 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8012 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8015 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8016 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8017 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8021 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8022 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8023 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8025 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8026 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8027 certificate auxiliary information.
8030 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8034 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8035 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8036 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8037 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8038 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8039 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8040 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8043 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8044 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8047 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8048 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8049 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8050 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8053 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8056 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8057 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8060 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8061 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8062 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8063 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8064 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8065 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8066 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8067 using the new 'x509' options.
8069 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8070 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8071 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8072 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8076 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8077 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8078 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8079 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8080 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8083 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8084 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8085 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8086 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8087 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8088 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8089 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8090 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8091 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8092 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8095 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8096 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8097 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8098 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8099 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8100 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8101 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8104 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8105 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8106 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8107 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8108 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8109 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8110 openssl.cnf for more info.
8113 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8114 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8115 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8116 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8117 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8118 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8119 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8120 md should be large enough anyway.
8123 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8124 for handling the random seed file.
8126 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8128 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8131 x509 (when signing).
8132 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8133 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8134 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8136 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8137 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8138 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8139 that support '-rand'.
8142 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8143 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8146 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8147 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8150 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8151 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8152 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8153 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8157 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8158 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8159 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8160 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8163 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8164 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8165 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8166 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8167 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8168 print out all the purposes.
8171 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8175 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8176 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8177 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8178 single function call.
8181 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8182 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8185 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8186 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8187 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8190 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8191 when producing the local key id.
8192 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8194 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8195 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8196 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8200 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8201 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8202 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8203 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8206 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8207 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8208 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8209 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8211 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8212 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8213 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8214 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8216 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8217 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8218 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8219 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8220 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8221 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8222 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8223 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8224 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8225 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8226 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8227 trivial: move one line.
8228 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8230 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8231 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8232 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8233 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8234 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8235 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8236 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8237 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8238 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8239 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8240 with an event loop for example.
8243 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8244 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8245 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8246 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8247 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8248 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8249 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8250 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8251 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8254 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8255 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8256 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8257 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8258 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8259 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8262 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8263 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8264 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8265 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8267 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8268 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8269 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8270 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8274 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8275 (still largely untested)
8278 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8279 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8282 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8283 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8286 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8287 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8288 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8291 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8292 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8293 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8294 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8295 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8298 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8301 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8302 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8303 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8304 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8305 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8309 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8310 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8313 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8316 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8317 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8318 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8319 are otherwise ignored at present.
8322 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8323 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8324 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8325 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8326 copied until the next read.
8329 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8330 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8331 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8334 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8335 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8336 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8337 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8338 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8339 associated functions.
8342 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8343 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8344 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8345 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8346 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8347 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8348 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8349 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8350 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8354 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8355 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8356 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8357 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8360 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8361 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8362 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8363 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8364 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8368 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8369 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8373 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8374 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8375 extensions to be obtained and added.
8378 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8379 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8382 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8384 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8387 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8388 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8390 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8394 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8395 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8396 DH parameters contain its length).
8398 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8399 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8400 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8401 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8402 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8403 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8404 utter importance to use
8405 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8407 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8408 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8409 attacks may become possible!
8412 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8415 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8416 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8419 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8420 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8421 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8425 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8426 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8427 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8428 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8429 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8430 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8431 private key operations.
8434 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8437 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8438 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8440 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8441 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8442 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8443 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8444 the password callback is called.
8445 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8447 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8449 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8450 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8451 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8452 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8453 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8454 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8457 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8458 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8459 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8460 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8461 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8462 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8465 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8468 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8469 delete an unused file.
8472 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8473 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8474 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8475 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8478 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8479 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8480 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8484 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8485 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8486 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8488 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8489 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8490 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8491 comparison" warnings.
8492 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8495 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8496 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8497 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8500 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8501 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8503 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8504 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8506 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8507 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8508 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8510 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8511 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8512 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8513 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8514 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8516 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8518 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8519 The interface is as follows:
8520 Applications can use
8521 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8522 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8523 "off" is now the default.
8524 The library internally uses
8525 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8526 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8527 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8529 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8530 even the default) are now avoided.
8532 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8533 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8534 than just having a counter.
8536 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8538 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8542 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8543 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8544 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8545 Initial "mode" flags are:
8547 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8548 a single record has been written.
8549 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8550 retries use the same buffer location.
8551 (But all of the contents must be
8555 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8558 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8559 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8561 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8562 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8563 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8566 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8567 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8569 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8571 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8572 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8573 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8574 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8576 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8577 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8579 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8580 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8581 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8582 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8583 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8584 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8587 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8588 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8589 necessary function names.
8592 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8593 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8594 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8595 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8598 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8599 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8600 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8603 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8604 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8605 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8606 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8608 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8612 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8613 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8614 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8617 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8618 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8622 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8623 for the encoded length.
8624 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8626 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8629 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8630 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8631 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8632 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8635 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8636 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8637 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8639 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8640 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8641 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8645 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8646 to use the new extension code.
8649 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8650 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8651 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8655 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8656 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8657 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8661 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8664 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8665 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8666 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8669 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8670 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8671 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8672 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8675 *) DES library cleanups.
8678 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8679 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8680 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8681 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8682 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8686 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8687 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8690 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8691 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8692 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8693 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8694 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8695 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8696 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8697 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8698 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8701 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8702 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8703 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8704 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8705 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8706 value doesn't matter.
8709 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8713 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8714 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8715 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8716 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8718 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8721 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8722 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8723 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8725 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8726 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8728 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8731 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8734 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8737 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8741 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8743 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8745 *) Updated some demos.
8746 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8748 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8751 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8754 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8757 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8758 instead of using a fixed path.
8761 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8764 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8768 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8770 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8771 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8772 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8774 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8775 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8776 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8777 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8778 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8779 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8780 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8781 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8782 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8783 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8786 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8787 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8790 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8791 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8792 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8793 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8794 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8796 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8799 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8800 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8801 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8804 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8807 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8808 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8809 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8810 key elements as negative integers.
8813 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8814 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8817 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8819 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8820 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8821 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8824 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8825 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8826 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8827 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8828 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8831 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8834 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8835 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8836 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8839 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8840 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8841 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8843 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8844 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8845 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8846 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8847 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8848 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8849 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8850 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8851 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8853 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8854 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8855 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8856 does not influence s as it used to.
8858 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8859 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8860 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8861 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8862 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8863 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8866 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8867 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8868 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8872 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8873 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8874 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8878 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8879 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8880 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8884 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8885 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8888 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8889 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8894 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8895 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8897 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8898 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8900 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8903 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8906 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8909 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8910 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8911 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8915 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8916 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8917 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8918 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8919 now it really counts the depth.
8922 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8923 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8924 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8925 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8926 didn't match the private key).
8928 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8929 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8930 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8933 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8936 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8940 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8941 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8942 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8945 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8948 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8949 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8950 such as /usr/local/bin.
8953 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8954 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8956 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8959 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8960 extension adding in x509 utility.
8963 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8966 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8970 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8973 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8974 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8975 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8976 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8977 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8978 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8979 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8980 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8981 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8982 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8985 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8988 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8989 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8992 *) Fix some race conditions.
8995 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8996 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8999 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9002 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9003 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9004 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9005 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9007 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9008 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9010 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9011 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9012 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9014 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9015 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9017 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9020 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9021 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9023 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9026 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9027 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9029 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9030 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9033 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9034 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9037 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9038 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9041 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9042 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9045 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9046 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9049 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9050 support typesafe stack.
9053 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9054 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9056 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9057 old X509V3 handling code.
9060 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9063 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9066 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9069 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9070 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9072 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9073 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9074 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9075 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9076 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9079 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9080 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9081 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9082 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9083 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9085 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9086 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9087 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9088 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9090 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9091 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9092 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9093 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9095 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9096 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9097 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9098 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9099 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9100 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9103 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9104 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9107 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9108 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9111 *) Tweaks to Configure
9112 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9114 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9118 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9121 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9122 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9125 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9126 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9127 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9130 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9133 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9134 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9137 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9138 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9139 to library startup routines.
9142 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9143 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9144 codes along the way.
9147 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9148 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9149 objects to objects.h
9152 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9153 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9156 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9157 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9159 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9160 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9161 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9163 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9164 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9165 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9167 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9168 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9169 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9172 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9174 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9175 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9178 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9179 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9180 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9181 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9182 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9184 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9185 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9186 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9188 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9190 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9192 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9194 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9195 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9197 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9198 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9199 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9200 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9202 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9205 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9206 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9207 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9208 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9211 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9212 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9213 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9216 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9217 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9218 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9219 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9220 installed as `perl').
9221 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9223 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9224 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9226 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9227 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9228 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9229 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9230 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9233 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9236 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9237 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9238 is horrible: I feel ill....
9241 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9242 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9243 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9244 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9247 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9250 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9251 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9252 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9253 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9255 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9256 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9257 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9258 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9259 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9260 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9262 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9264 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9265 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9267 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9268 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9270 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9273 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9274 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9278 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9279 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9280 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9281 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9282 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9283 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9284 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9285 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9286 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9287 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9288 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9290 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9293 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9294 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9295 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9296 for linking it into DSOs.
9297 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9299 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9303 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9304 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9305 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9306 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9307 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9308 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9310 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9311 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9312 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9313 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9314 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9315 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9318 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9319 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9320 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9324 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9325 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9326 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9327 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9330 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9331 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9332 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9333 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9334 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9338 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9339 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9340 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9341 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9342 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9344 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9345 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9346 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9348 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9349 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9351 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9352 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9353 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9354 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9355 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9358 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9359 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9360 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9361 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9362 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9363 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9364 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9367 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9369 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9370 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9373 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9374 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9376 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9377 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9380 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9381 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9382 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9383 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9384 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9386 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9387 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9388 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9389 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9390 no way to reconfigure them.
9391 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9392 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9393 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9394 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9395 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9398 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9399 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9400 recognized by the users.
9401 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9403 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9404 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9405 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9406 already masked variable.
9407 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9409 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9410 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9412 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9413 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9414 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9415 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9417 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9418 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9421 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9422 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9423 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9424 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9425 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9426 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9427 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9428 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9432 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9433 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9434 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9436 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9437 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9441 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9442 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9444 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9445 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9446 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9447 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9450 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9453 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9454 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9456 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9459 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9460 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9463 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9464 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9467 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9468 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9469 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9470 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9471 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9472 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9473 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9476 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9477 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9479 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9480 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9481 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9482 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9483 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9485 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9486 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9487 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9490 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9491 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9495 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9496 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9497 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9499 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9500 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9501 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9505 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9506 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9507 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9508 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9511 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9512 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9513 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9514 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9517 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9518 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9519 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9520 so it wasn't spotted.
9521 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9523 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9524 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9525 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9526 vectors if you have them.
9529 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9530 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9533 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9534 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9535 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9536 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9538 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9539 it will update them.
9542 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9543 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9544 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9545 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9546 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9547 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9548 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9549 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9551 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9552 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9553 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9554 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9555 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9556 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9557 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9558 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9559 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9560 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9562 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9563 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9564 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9565 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9566 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9569 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9573 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9574 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9576 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9577 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9579 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9580 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9583 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9584 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9586 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9587 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9589 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9592 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9596 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9597 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9598 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9599 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9601 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9604 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9607 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9610 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9611 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9614 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9615 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9619 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9620 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9623 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9624 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9625 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9628 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9629 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9630 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9631 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9632 properly to be processed.
9635 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9636 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9637 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9640 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9641 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9643 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9644 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9645 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9646 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9647 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9648 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9649 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9650 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9651 or delete all the .err files.
9654 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9655 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9656 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9657 to regenerate it if needed.
9658 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9659 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9661 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9662 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9664 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9665 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9666 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9667 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9668 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9671 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9672 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9674 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9675 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9677 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9678 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9679 error, but didn't set one).
9680 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9682 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9685 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9686 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9689 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9690 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9692 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9693 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9694 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9695 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9696 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9697 OID is not part of the table.
9700 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9701 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9704 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9707 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9708 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9712 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9713 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9715 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9717 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9719 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9720 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9722 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9723 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9725 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9726 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9728 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9729 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9732 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9733 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9736 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9737 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9739 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9740 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9742 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9743 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9745 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9746 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9748 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9749 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9750 unused in the certificate verification process.
9751 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9753 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9754 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9757 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9758 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9759 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9761 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9762 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9763 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9764 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9765 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9767 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9768 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9771 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9774 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9777 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9778 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9780 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9783 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9786 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9789 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9790 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9791 other error libraries.
9794 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9797 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9798 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9802 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9803 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9804 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9805 the new set of documenation files.
9806 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9808 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9809 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9810 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9811 number of arguments.
9812 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9814 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9817 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9818 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9819 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9821 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9824 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9828 unixware-2.0-pentium
9832 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9833 before they are needed.
9836 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9840 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9842 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9843 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9844 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9846 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9849 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9850 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9851 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9853 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9854 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9855 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9857 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9858 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9859 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9861 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9862 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9864 *) Updated the README file.
9865 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9867 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9868 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9871 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9872 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9873 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9875 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9876 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9877 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9878 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9879 o removed obsolete TODO file
9880 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9881 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9883 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9884 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9885 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9888 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9889 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9891 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9894 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9895 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9896 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9898 [The OpenSSL Project]
9901 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9903 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9906 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9909 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9910 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9913 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9914 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9918 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9920 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9922 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9925 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9928 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9931 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9934 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9937 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9940 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9943 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9946 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9949 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9952 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9955 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9958 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9961 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9964 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9967 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9970 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9973 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9974 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9975 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9978 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9979 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9982 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9985 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9988 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9989 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9992 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9995 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9998 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9999 bytes sent in the client random.
