5 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
11 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
12 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
15 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
17 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
18 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
19 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
22 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
23 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
24 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
25 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
26 will need to explicitly call either of:
28 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
30 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
32 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
33 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
34 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
35 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
36 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
40 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
42 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
43 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
44 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
47 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
52 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
54 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
56 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
57 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
58 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
61 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
62 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
63 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
64 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
65 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
66 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
71 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
73 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
74 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
75 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
76 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
77 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
78 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
79 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
80 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
81 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
82 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
83 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
85 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
86 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
87 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
88 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
89 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
91 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
95 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
97 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
98 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
99 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
101 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
102 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
103 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
104 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
105 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
108 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
109 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
110 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
111 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
112 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
113 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
114 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
115 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
116 as command line arguments.
118 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
119 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
120 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
122 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
126 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
128 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
129 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
130 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
131 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
132 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
134 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
135 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
136 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
137 http://cachebleed.info.
141 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
142 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
143 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
144 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
147 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
149 *) DH small subgroups
151 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
152 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
153 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
154 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
155 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
156 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
157 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
158 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
159 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
160 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
162 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
163 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
164 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
165 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
166 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
168 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
169 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
170 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
171 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
173 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
174 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
176 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
180 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
182 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
183 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
184 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
187 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
188 and Sebastian Schinzel.
192 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
195 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
197 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
199 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
200 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
201 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
202 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
203 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
204 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
205 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
206 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
207 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
208 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
209 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
210 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
212 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
216 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
218 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
219 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
220 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
221 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
222 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
223 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
224 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
227 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
231 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
233 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
234 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
235 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
236 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
238 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
243 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
244 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
245 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
246 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
249 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
250 use a random seed, as already documented.
251 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
253 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
255 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
257 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
258 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
259 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
260 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
261 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
262 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
264 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
269 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
271 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
272 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
273 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
278 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
280 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
281 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
284 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
286 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
288 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
289 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
292 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
293 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
294 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
295 client authentication enabled.
297 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
301 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
303 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
304 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
305 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
308 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
309 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
310 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
311 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
312 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
315 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
316 independently by Hanno Böck.
320 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
322 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
323 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
324 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
326 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
327 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
328 servers are not affected.
330 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
334 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
336 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
337 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
338 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
340 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
344 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
346 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
347 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
348 a double free of the ticket data.
352 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
353 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
354 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
355 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
356 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
357 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
360 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
361 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
362 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
365 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
366 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
368 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
370 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
372 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
373 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
374 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
376 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
379 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
381 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
383 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
384 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
385 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
386 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
387 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
388 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
389 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
390 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
392 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
396 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
398 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
399 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
400 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
401 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
402 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
403 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
404 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
405 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
408 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
412 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
414 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
415 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
416 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
417 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
418 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
419 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
423 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
425 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
426 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
427 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
428 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
429 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
430 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
431 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
433 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
437 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
439 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
440 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
441 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
443 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
444 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
445 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
450 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
452 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
453 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
454 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
456 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
457 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
458 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
460 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
464 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
466 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
467 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
468 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
470 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
471 (OpenSSL development team).
475 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
477 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
478 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
479 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
483 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
485 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
486 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
487 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
488 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
489 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
490 SSL_client_methodv23)
491 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
492 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
494 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
495 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
496 output may be predictable.
498 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
499 succeed on an unpatched platform:
501 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
505 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
507 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
508 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
509 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
510 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
511 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
512 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
514 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
519 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
521 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
522 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
524 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
528 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
531 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
533 *) Change RSA and DH/DSA key generation apps to generate 2048-bit
537 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
538 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
539 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
540 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
541 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
542 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
545 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
546 (other platforms pending).
547 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
549 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
550 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
553 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
554 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
555 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
558 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
559 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
560 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
561 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
564 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
565 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
567 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
568 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
569 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
570 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
571 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
573 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
576 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
577 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
578 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
579 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
581 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
583 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
585 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
586 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
587 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
590 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
593 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
594 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
595 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
598 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
599 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
602 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
603 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
606 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
607 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
608 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
609 algorithms and include tests cases.
612 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
614 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
616 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
617 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
620 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
621 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
622 summary of the connection parameters.
625 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
626 of connection parameters.
629 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
630 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
632 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
633 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
636 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
639 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
640 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
643 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
644 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
647 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
651 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
652 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
653 CRLs using the OCSP API.
656 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
659 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
660 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
663 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
664 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
665 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
669 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
670 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
673 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
677 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
681 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
682 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
683 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
684 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
687 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
688 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
691 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
692 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
693 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
697 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
698 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
699 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
703 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
706 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
707 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
708 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
709 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
710 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
711 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
712 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
714 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
715 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
719 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
720 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
721 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
724 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
725 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
726 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
727 supported signature algorithms.
730 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
733 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
734 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
735 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
736 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
737 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
738 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
739 certificate and specify the whole chain.
742 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
743 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
744 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
745 to have similar checks in it.
747 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
748 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
749 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
750 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
751 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
754 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
755 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
756 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
757 shared signature algorithms.
760 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
761 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
765 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
766 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
767 it couldn't be removed.
770 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
771 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
774 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
775 functions. Add manual page.
776 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
778 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
779 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
783 *) Fix OCSP checking.
784 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
786 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
787 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
788 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
789 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
793 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
794 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
797 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
798 platform support for Linux and Android.
801 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
804 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
805 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
806 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
807 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
808 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
811 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
812 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
813 the new parameter format automatically.
816 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
817 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
820 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
823 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
824 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
825 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
826 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
827 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
830 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
831 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
832 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
833 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
834 to set list of supported curves.
837 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
838 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
839 to print out received values.
842 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
843 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
844 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
847 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
848 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
851 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
852 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
855 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
859 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
861 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
862 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
863 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
865 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
867 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
868 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
870 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
872 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
873 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
874 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
875 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
879 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
880 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
881 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
882 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
883 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
884 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
888 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
889 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
890 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
891 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
895 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
898 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
899 reporting this issue.
903 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
904 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
905 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
906 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
907 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
908 INRIA or reporting this issue.
912 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
913 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
914 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
915 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
916 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
917 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
918 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
923 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
924 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
926 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
927 and can vary with the CTX.
930 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
932 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
933 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
934 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
935 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
936 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
938 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
940 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
941 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
943 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
945 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
946 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
947 errors for some broken certificates.
949 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
951 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
953 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
954 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
956 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
957 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
958 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
959 (negative or with leading zeroes).
961 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
962 of the OpenSSL core team.
967 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
968 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
969 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
970 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
971 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
972 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
973 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
974 the OpenSSL core team.
978 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
979 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
980 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
981 sanity and breaks all known clients.
982 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
984 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
985 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
986 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
989 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
990 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
991 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
992 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
993 announced in the initial ServerHello.
995 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
996 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
997 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1000 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1002 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1004 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1005 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1006 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1007 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1008 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1009 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1010 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1012 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1016 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1018 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1019 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1020 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1021 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1022 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1027 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1029 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1030 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1031 configured to send them.
1033 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1035 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1036 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1037 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1039 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1041 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1043 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1044 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1045 DigestInfo structures.
1047 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1051 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1053 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1054 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1055 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1057 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1058 Group for discovering this issue.
1062 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1063 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1064 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1065 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1066 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1068 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1069 researching this issue.
1073 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1074 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1075 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1076 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1078 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1083 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1084 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1085 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1089 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1090 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1091 Denial of Service attack.
1092 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1096 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1097 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1098 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1099 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1104 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1105 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1106 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1108 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1113 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1114 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1115 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1116 Denial of Service attack.
1118 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1119 discovering and researching this issue.
1123 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1124 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1125 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1126 output to the attacker.
1128 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1130 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1132 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1133 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1134 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1137 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1139 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1140 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1141 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1143 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1144 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1145 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1147 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1148 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1151 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1153 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1155 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1156 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1157 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1158 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1160 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1161 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1163 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1164 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1166 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1167 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1168 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1170 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1172 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1174 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1175 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1176 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1178 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1179 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1181 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1183 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1184 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1187 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1188 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1189 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1190 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1192 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1193 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1194 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1195 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1197 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1198 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1199 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1201 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1203 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1204 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1205 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1206 is at least 512 bytes long.
1208 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1210 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1212 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1213 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1214 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1217 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1218 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1219 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1222 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1223 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1224 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1225 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1226 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1227 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1228 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1230 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1232 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1233 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1234 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1236 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1238 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1240 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1241 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1242 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1244 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1245 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1246 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1247 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1249 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1251 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1252 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1253 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1254 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1255 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1259 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1260 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1263 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1264 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1266 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1267 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1268 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1269 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1270 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1272 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1275 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1279 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1281 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1282 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1284 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1285 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1289 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1290 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1293 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1297 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1299 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1300 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1301 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1302 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1303 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1304 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1305 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1306 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1307 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1308 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1311 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1312 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1313 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1314 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1315 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1316 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1320 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1322 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1323 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1324 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1326 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1327 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1329 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1331 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1334 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1335 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1337 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1338 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1339 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1340 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1341 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1342 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1343 Most broken servers should now work.
1344 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1345 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1348 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1351 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1353 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1354 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1357 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1358 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1359 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1360 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1361 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1364 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1365 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1366 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
1367 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1368 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1371 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1372 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1374 *) Add support for SCTP.
1375 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1377 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1378 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1380 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1382 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1383 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1384 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1385 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1386 - s390x: z196 support;
1387 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1391 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1392 (removal of unnecessary code)
1393 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1395 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1398 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1401 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1402 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1403 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1405 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1407 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1408 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1409 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1410 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1411 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1413 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1414 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1415 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1417 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1418 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1419 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1421 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1422 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1424 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1426 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1427 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1428 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1431 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1432 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1436 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1437 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1438 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1441 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1442 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1443 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1444 the appropriate parameters.
1447 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1448 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1449 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1450 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1451 against a number of sample certificates.
1454 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1455 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1457 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1458 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1460 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1461 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1465 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1469 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1470 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1471 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1472 password based CMS).
1475 *) Session-handling fixes:
1476 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1477 but also support Session Tickets.
1478 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1479 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1480 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1481 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1482 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1483 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1485 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1488 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1490 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1493 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1494 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1495 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1496 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1497 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1500 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1501 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1504 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1505 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1506 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1509 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1510 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1511 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1512 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1515 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1516 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1517 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1520 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1521 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1523 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1526 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1527 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1530 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1533 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1534 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1537 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1538 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1541 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1544 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1545 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1546 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1549 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1552 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1555 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1556 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1559 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1560 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1561 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1564 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1567 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1571 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1572 FIPS modules versions.
1575 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1576 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1577 until after the certificate request message is received.
1580 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1581 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1582 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1583 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1586 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1587 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1588 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1589 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1592 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1593 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1594 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1595 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1596 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1597 and version checking.
1600 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1601 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1602 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1603 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1607 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1609 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1612 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1613 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1614 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1616 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1617 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1618 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1621 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1622 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1624 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1625 a few changes are required:
1627 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1628 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1629 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1630 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1631 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1634 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1636 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1637 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1638 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1639 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1640 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1641 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1642 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1643 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1644 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1647 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1648 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1649 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1652 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1654 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1655 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1656 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1657 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1660 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1662 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1663 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1664 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1665 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1666 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1667 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1668 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1669 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1670 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1671 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1672 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1673 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1674 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1676 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1678 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1680 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1681 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1682 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1683 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1685 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1686 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1688 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1689 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1690 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1691 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1693 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1694 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1696 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1697 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1699 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1700 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1702 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1703 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1704 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1706 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1707 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1708 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1710 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1711 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1712 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1713 the last update always remained unused).
1714 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1716 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1717 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1719 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1721 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1722 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1723 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1725 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1726 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1727 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1729 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1732 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1733 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1734 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1737 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1738 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1740 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1742 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1744 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1746 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1747 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1749 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1750 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1754 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1756 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1757 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1758 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1761 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1762 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1763 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1766 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1768 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1769 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1770 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1773 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1777 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1779 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1781 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1783 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1785 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1786 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1787 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1790 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1793 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1794 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1795 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1797 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1798 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1799 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1802 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1803 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1806 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1807 some responders need this.
1810 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1812 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1814 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1815 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1816 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1819 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1822 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1823 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1824 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1825 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1826 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1827 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1828 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1829 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1832 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1833 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1834 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1835 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1837 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1838 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1840 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1844 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1845 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1846 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1847 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1848 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1849 attempting to work them out.
1852 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1853 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1854 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1855 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1858 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1859 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1860 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1861 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1862 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1865 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1866 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1873 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1875 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1879 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1880 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1882 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1883 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1885 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1886 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1887 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1888 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1889 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1892 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1893 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1894 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1897 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1898 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1901 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1902 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1904 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1905 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1908 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1911 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1912 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1913 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1917 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1918 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1919 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1920 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1921 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1922 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1925 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1926 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1928 This work was sponsored by Google.
1931 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1932 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1933 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1934 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1935 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1936 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1937 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1940 This work was sponsored by Google.
1943 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1945 This work was sponsored by Google.
1948 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1949 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1950 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1951 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1953 This work was sponsored by Google.
1956 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1957 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1958 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1959 CRL functionality in future.
1961 This work was sponsored by Google.
1964 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1966 This work was sponsored by Google.
1969 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1970 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1972 This work was sponsored by Google.
1975 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1976 and URI types are currently supported.
1978 This work was sponsored by Google.
1981 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1982 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1983 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1984 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1985 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1986 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1987 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1988 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1990 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1991 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1992 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1994 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1995 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1996 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1997 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1999 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2000 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2001 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2002 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2003 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2004 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2005 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2006 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2008 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2010 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2011 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2012 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2014 This work was sponsored by Google.
2017 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2020 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2021 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2022 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2025 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2026 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2029 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2030 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2033 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2034 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2035 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2036 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2037 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2038 content types and variants.
2041 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2044 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2045 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2046 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2047 files from the associated perl scripts.
2050 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2051 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2052 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2054 *) s390x assembler pack.
2057 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2061 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2062 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2063 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2064 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2065 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2066 to use. For example, specify an option
2068 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2070 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2071 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2072 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2073 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2074 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2075 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2077 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2078 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2079 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2080 return non-zero for success.
2082 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2085 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2086 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2090 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2093 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2094 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2095 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2096 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2097 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2098 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2099 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2100 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2101 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2103 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2104 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2105 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2106 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2107 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2108 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2110 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2111 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2112 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2113 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2114 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2115 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2119 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2122 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2124 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2125 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2126 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2129 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2130 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2133 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2134 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2135 with no application modification.
2137 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2138 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2140 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2141 or server extensions to be examined.
2143 This work was sponsored by Google.
2146 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2147 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2148 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2150 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2151 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2152 ciphersuite support.
2153 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2155 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2156 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2157 to output in BER and PEM format.
2160 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2161 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2162 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2163 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2164 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2167 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2168 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2169 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2173 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2174 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2175 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2176 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2177 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2178 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2179 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2180 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2183 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2184 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2185 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2186 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2188 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2189 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2190 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2194 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2195 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2196 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2197 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2198 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2199 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2200 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2201 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2202 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2204 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2205 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2206 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2207 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2208 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2209 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2210 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2211 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2212 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2213 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2214 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2217 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2218 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2219 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2221 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2222 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2226 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2227 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2228 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2231 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2232 it yet and it is largely untested.
2235 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2238 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2239 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2240 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2243 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2246 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2247 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2248 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2249 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2252 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2253 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2254 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2255 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2256 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2259 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2260 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2263 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2264 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2265 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2266 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2269 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2270 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2271 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2272 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2275 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2276 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2279 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2280 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2281 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2282 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2285 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2286 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2287 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2290 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2294 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2295 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2298 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2299 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2300 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2304 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2305 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2306 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2309 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2310 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2311 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2312 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2315 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2316 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2317 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2318 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2319 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2320 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2323 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2324 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2325 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2326 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2327 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2329 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2330 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2331 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2332 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2333 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2336 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2337 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2338 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2339 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2341 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2342 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2343 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2344 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2345 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2351 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2352 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2356 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2357 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2360 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2361 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2364 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2365 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2366 functional reference processing.
2369 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2370 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2374 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2375 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2376 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2379 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2380 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2381 application to support multiple signers.
2384 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2388 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2389 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2390 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2391 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2392 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2395 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2399 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2400 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2401 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2402 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2406 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2407 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2408 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2409 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
2410 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2411 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2412 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2413 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2416 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2417 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2418 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2419 between digests and public key types.
2422 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2423 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2424 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2425 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2428 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2429 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2433 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2436 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2440 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2441 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2442 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2443 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2448 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2450 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2452 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2454 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2455 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2456 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2457 functionality for RSA.
2460 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2461 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2462 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2465 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2466 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2469 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2470 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2471 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2474 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2475 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2478 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2479 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2482 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2483 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2487 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2488 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2489 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2493 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2494 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2495 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2496 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2497 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2498 of public and private key structures.
2501 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2502 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2505 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2506 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2507 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2510 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2514 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2515 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2516 SSL_get_psk_identity
2517 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2519 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2521 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2522 and response verification functionality.
2523 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2525 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2526 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2527 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2528 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2529 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2530 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2531 server_name extension.
2533 New functions (subject to change):
2535 SSL_get_servername()
2536 SSL_get_servername_type()
2539 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2541 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2542 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2543 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2544 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2545 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2547 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2549 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2550 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2551 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2552 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2553 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2554 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2557 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2559 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2562 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2563 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2564 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2565 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2566 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2569 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2570 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2574 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2575 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2576 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2577 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2580 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2581 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2582 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2583 using the maximum available value.
2586 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2587 in addition to the text details.
2590 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2591 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2592 handle several customised structures at all.
2595 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2596 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2597 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2600 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2603 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2604 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2605 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2608 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2609 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2610 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2613 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2614 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2618 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2621 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2624 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2626 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2627 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2628 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2629 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2630 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2631 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2632 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2633 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2635 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2636 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2637 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2639 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2641 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2642 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2644 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2645 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2648 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2649 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2650 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2653 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2654 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2655 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2656 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2657 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2658 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2661 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2662 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2663 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2666 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2667 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2668 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2669 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2670 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2671 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2675 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2676 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2679 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2680 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2681 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2684 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2687 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2688 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2689 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2690 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2691 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2692 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2693 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2694 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2695 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2698 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2699 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2700 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2703 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2704 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2707 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2708 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2709 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2710 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2711 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2712 know what you are doing.
2713 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2715 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2716 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2717 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2718 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2719 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2720 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2724 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2725 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2726 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2728 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2730 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2731 warnings in other configurations.
2734 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2735 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2736 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2738 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2740 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2741 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2742 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2744 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2745 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2746 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2747 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2750 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2754 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2755 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2757 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2759 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2760 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2761 other than a simple chain.
2762 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2764 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2765 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2766 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2767 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2770 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2771 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2772 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2773 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2774 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2775 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2776 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2777 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2778 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2780 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2781 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2782 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2783 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2784 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2785 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2787 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2789 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2790 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2793 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2794 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2797 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2799 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2801 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2802 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2803 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2804 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2805 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2809 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2811 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2812 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2813 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2814 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2816 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2817 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2818 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2819 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2821 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2822 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2823 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2826 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2827 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2831 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2832 to handle some structures.
2835 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2837 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2839 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2842 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2845 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2848 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2849 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2853 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2855 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2857 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2859 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2862 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2863 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2864 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2865 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2867 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2868 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2870 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2871 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2874 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2875 s_client and s_server.
2878 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2879 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2881 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2882 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2884 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2885 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2886 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2887 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2888 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2891 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2893 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2894 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2897 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2898 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2901 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2902 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2903 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2904 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2906 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2907 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2909 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2911 *) Various precautionary measures:
2913 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2915 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2916 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2917 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2919 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2920 outside the expected range.
2922 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2925 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2927 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2928 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2929 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2931 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2934 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2937 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2939 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2942 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2943 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2944 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2946 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2949 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2950 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2951 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2955 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2957 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2958 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2959 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2960 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2962 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2963 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2966 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2968 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2969 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2970 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2972 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2974 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2975 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2976 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2977 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2980 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2981 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2982 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2983 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2984 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2985 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2986 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2988 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2990 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2991 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2992 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2993 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2994 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2996 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2997 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2999 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3000 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3001 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3002 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3003 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3005 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3007 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3008 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3009 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3010 sets may exist with different names.
3013 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3014 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3015 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3016 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3017 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3018 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3019 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3020 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3021 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3023 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3025 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3026 implemention in the following ways:
3028 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3031 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3032 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3033 ignored for embedded content.
3035 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3036 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3039 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3040 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3041 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3042 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3044 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3045 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3048 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3049 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3052 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3053 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3054 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3055 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3056 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3057 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3061 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3062 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3063 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3067 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3068 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3069 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3070 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3071 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3072 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3073 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3074 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3076 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3077 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3078 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3079 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3080 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3081 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3082 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3084 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3085 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3086 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3087 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3088 to s_client and s_server.
3091 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3093 *) Fix various bugs:
3094 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3095 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3096 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3097 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3098 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3100 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3102 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3103 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3104 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3105 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3106 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3107 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3108 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3109 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3112 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3113 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3114 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3117 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3118 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3119 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3122 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3123 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3126 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3127 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3128 with no application modification.
3130 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3131 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3133 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3134 or server extensions to be examined.
3136 This work was sponsored by Google.
3139 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3140 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3141 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3142 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3143 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3144 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3145 server_name extension.
3147 New functions (subject to change):
3149 SSL_get_servername()
3150 SSL_get_servername_type()
3153 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3155 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3156 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3157 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3158 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3159 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3161 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3163 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3164 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3165 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3166 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3167 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
3168 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3171 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3173 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3176 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3179 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3180 (which previously caused an internal error).
3183 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3186 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3187 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3189 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3190 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3191 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3193 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3194 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3195 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3196 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3198 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3199 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3200 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3201 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3203 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3204 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3205 information. For detailed background information, see
3206 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3207 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3208 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3209 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3210 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3211 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3212 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3213 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3214 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3215 remove a conditional branch.
3217 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3218 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3219 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3220 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3221 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3222 remains as a deprecated alias.
3224 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3225 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3226 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3227 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3229 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3230 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3231 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3232 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3233 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3234 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3235 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3236 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3238 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3240 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3241 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3242 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3243 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3244 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3245 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3246 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3247 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3248 in a different context.
3251 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3252 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3253 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3256 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3257 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3258 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3260 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3262 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3263 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3264 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3265 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3266 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3269 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3270 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3271 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3272 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3273 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3274 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3277 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3278 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3279 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3280 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3281 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3284 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3285 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3287 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3288 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3289 Improve header file function name parsing.
3292 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3293 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3296 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3298 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3299 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3300 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3302 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3303 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3305 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3306 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3308 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3309 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3310 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3312 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3313 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3314 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3315 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3316 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3317 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3318 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3319 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3320 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3322 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3323 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3324 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3325 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3326 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3328 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3329 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3330 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3331 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3332 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3333 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3334 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3335 multiple values to extend the available space.
3339 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3341 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3342 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3344 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3347 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3348 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3349 undesirable limitations.
3350 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3352 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3353 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3354 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3355 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3356 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3357 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3358 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3361 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3363 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3364 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3365 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3367 The latter two were purportedly from
3368 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3371 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3372 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3373 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3376 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3377 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3380 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3381 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3382 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3383 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3385 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3386 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3387 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3390 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3391 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3392 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3393 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3394 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3395 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3398 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3400 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3401 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3404 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3405 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3407 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3408 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3409 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3410 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3413 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3414 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3417 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3418 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3419 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3420 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3421 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3422 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3423 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3427 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3428 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3429 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3430 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3433 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3434 under VC++ build system.
3437 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3438 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3441 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3443 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3444 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3445 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3446 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3447 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3449 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3450 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3451 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3453 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3456 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3457 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3460 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3461 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3463 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3466 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3467 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3469 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3470 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3473 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3474 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3478 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3480 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3483 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3486 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3487 key into the same file any more.
3490 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3493 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3494 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3496 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3497 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3500 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3501 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3502 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3503 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3504 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3505 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3507 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3508 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3509 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3512 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3513 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3514 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3515 - add new function for parameter creation
3516 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3517 BN_BLINDING parameters
3518 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3519 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3520 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3524 *) Add support for DTLS.
3525 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3527 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3528 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3531 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3532 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3535 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3536 the apps/openssl applications.
3539 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3540 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3541 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3544 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3545 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3547 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3548 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3550 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3551 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3552 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3553 avoid this algorithm.)
3557 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3558 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3559 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3562 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3563 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3566 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3567 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3568 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3571 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3573 The blank line is mandatory.
3577 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3578 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3582 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3583 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3585 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3586 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3587 to support policy checking and print out.
3590 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3591 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3592 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3593 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3595 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3598 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3599 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3601 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3602 implementation contributed by IBM.
3603 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3605 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3606 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3607 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3608 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3610 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3611 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3613 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3614 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3615 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3616 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3617 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3618 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3621 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3622 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3623 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3624 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3625 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3626 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3627 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3630 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3633 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3634 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3635 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3636 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3637 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3638 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3639 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3640 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3643 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3644 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3645 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3646 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3649 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3652 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3655 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3656 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3657 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3658 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3659 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3660 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3661 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3664 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3665 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3668 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3669 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3670 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3673 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3674 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3675 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3679 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3680 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3683 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3684 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3685 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3686 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3689 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3690 initialised value as BN_new().
3691 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3693 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3696 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3697 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3698 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3699 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3700 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3701 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3702 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3703 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3704 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3705 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3706 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3707 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3708 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3709 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3710 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3712 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3713 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3714 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3715 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3718 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3719 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3720 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3721 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3722 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3723 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3724 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3725 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3726 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3729 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3730 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3731 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3732 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3733 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3734 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3735 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3738 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3739 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3740 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3741 these have been updated also.
3744 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3745 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3746 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3747 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3748 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3752 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3753 structure of type "other".
3756 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3757 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3758 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3759 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3760 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3761 situation in the script.
3762 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3764 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3765 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3766 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3767 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3768 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3769 used as premaster secret.
3770 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3772 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3773 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3774 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3776 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3777 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3779 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3780 control of the error stack.
3783 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3786 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3787 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3788 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3789 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3792 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3793 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3794 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3797 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3798 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3799 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3803 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3804 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3805 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3806 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3809 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3810 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3811 the following flags are defined:
3813 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3814 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3815 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3818 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3819 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3820 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3821 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3825 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3826 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3827 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3828 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3829 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3832 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3833 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3834 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3837 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3838 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3839 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3840 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3841 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3842 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3845 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3849 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3852 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3855 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3858 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3859 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3860 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3861 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3862 default implementation more easily.
3865 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3869 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3870 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3873 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3874 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3875 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3876 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3878 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3879 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3880 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3881 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3884 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3885 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3889 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3890 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3891 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3892 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3893 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3894 scalar * generator).
3895 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3897 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3898 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3899 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3903 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3904 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3905 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3906 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3907 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3908 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3909 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3910 linker additions, eg;
3911 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3914 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3915 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3916 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3919 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3920 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3921 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3925 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3926 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3927 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3928 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3931 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3932 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3933 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3934 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3935 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3936 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3937 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3938 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3939 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3940 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3942 Example for using the new callback interface:
3944 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3948 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3950 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3951 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3952 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3953 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3954 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3955 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3960 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3961 available to TLS with the number defined in
3962 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3965 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3966 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3968 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3969 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3970 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3971 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3973 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3974 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3976 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3977 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3981 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3982 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3985 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3986 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3987 and a macro that behave like
3988 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3990 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3993 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3994 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3995 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3997 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3999 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
4002 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
4003 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
4004 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
4005 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
4007 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
4008 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
4009 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
4010 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
4011 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
4012 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
4013 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
4014 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
4016 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
4017 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
4020 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
4021 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
4023 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
4024 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
4025 files while avoiding the low level API.
4027 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
4028 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
4029 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
4030 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
4032 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
4033 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
4034 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
4035 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
4036 instead of the low level API.
4039 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
4040 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
4041 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
4042 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
4043 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
4046 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
4047 down to the template encoder.
4050 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
4051 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
4054 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
4055 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
4056 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
4057 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4059 *) Add ECDH engine support.
4060 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4062 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
4063 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4065 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
4066 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
4069 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
4070 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
4071 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
4074 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
4075 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
4077 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4078 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4080 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
4081 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
4084 EC_GF2m_simple_method
4088 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
4089 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
4090 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
4091 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4092 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
4093 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
4095 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
4096 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
4099 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
4100 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
4101 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
4102 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
4103 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
4104 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
4105 various internal method names.)
4107 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
4108 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
4110 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4111 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4113 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
4114 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
4116 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
4117 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
4118 methods are undefined.
4120 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4121 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4123 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
4124 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
4125 length of the modulus.
4127 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4128 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4130 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
4131 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
4133 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4134 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4136 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
4137 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
4138 used) in the following functions [macros]:
4141 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
4142 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
4143 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
4144 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
4146 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
4147 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
4148 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
4149 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
4151 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
4152 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
4154 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
4155 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
4156 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
4157 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
4158 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
4160 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
4161 This applies to the following functions:
4166 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
4167 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
4169 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
4170 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
4174 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
4179 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
4181 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
4182 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
4183 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
4184 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
4185 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
4187 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
4188 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4190 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
4191 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
4192 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
4194 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
4195 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
4197 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
4198 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
4199 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
4200 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
4201 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4203 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
4205 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
4206 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
4207 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
4208 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
4209 These control ASN1 encoding details:
4210 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
4211 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
4212 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
4213 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
4214 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
4215 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
4216 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
4218 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
4221 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
4222 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
4223 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
4224 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4226 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
4227 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
4228 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
4229 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4234 EC_POINT_point2hex()
4235 EC_POINT_hex2point()
4236 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
4237 EC_POINT_oct2point().
4238 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4240 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
4241 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
4242 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
4243 EC_GROUP_get_order()
4244 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
4245 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
4246 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
4247 adding different types of curves.
4248 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
4250 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
4251 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
4252 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
4255 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
4256 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
4258 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
4259 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
4260 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
4261 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4263 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
4265 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
4266 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
4268 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
4269 library. Most notably,
4270 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
4271 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
4272 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
4273 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
4274 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
4275 extracted before the specific public key;
4276 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
4277 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4279 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
4280 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
4282 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
4283 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
4284 EC_get_builtin_curves().
4285 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
4287 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
4288 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
4289 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
4291 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4292 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4293 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4294 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4295 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),

4302 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
4304 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
4306 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4307 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4308 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4311 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
4312 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4313 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
4316 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
4319 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
4320 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
4323 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
4324 run algorithm test programs.
4327 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
4330 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4331 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4332 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4333 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4334 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4337 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4338 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4341 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
4343 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4344 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4345 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4347 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4348 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4350 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4351 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4353 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4354 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4355 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4357 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
4358 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
4359 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
4360 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
4361 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
4362 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
4363 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
4366 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
4368 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4369 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4371 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4372 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4373 undesirable limitations.
4374 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4376 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4378 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4379 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4380 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4382 The latter two were purportedly from
4383 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4386 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4387 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4388 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4391 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4392 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4395 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4397 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4398 module in FIPS mode.
4401 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4404 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4405 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4406 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4407 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4410 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4412 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4413 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4414 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4415 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4416 the difference induced by this change.
4419 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4421 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4422 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4423 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4424 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4425 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4427 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4428 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4429 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4431 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4432 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4435 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4436 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4437 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4438 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4442 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4443 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4444 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4445 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4446 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4448 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4449 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4450 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4451 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4452 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4453 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4455 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4457 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4458 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4459 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4460 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4461 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4464 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4468 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4469 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4470 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4473 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4474 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4475 structures constant.
4478 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4480 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4483 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4484 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4485 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4486 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4487 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4488 some needed definitions.
4491 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4494 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4495 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4496 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4497 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4500 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4502 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4503 server and client random values. Previously
4504 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4505 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4507 This change has negligible security impact because:
4509 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4512 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4515 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4516 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4519 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4522 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4524 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4527 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4528 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4529 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4531 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4534 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4535 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4538 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4539 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4540 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4542 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4545 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4546 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4547 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4551 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4552 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4553 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4554 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4556 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4557 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4558 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4559 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4563 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4565 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4566 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4567 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4568 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4569 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4572 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4575 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4576 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4578 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4579 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4580 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4581 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4582 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4583 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4584 rather than being initialized to 1.
4587 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4589 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4590 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4591 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4593 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4595 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4597 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4598 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4599 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4600 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4601 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4602 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4605 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4606 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4607 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4608 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4609 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4613 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4614 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4615 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4616 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4617 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4620 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4621 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4622 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4626 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4627 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4629 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4632 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4634 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4636 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4637 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4639 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4641 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4642 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4646 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4647 exiting on the first error in a request.
4650 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4651 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4655 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4656 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4657 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4658 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4660 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4661 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4664 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4665 blocks during encryption.
4668 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4669 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4670 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4671 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4675 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4676 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4677 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4678 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4679 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4683 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4685 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4686 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4687 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4688 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4691 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4692 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4693 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4694 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4695 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4697 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4698 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4699 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4700 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4701 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4702 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4703 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4704 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4705 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4708 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4709 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4710 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4711 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4714 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4715 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4718 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4720 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4721 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4722 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4723 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4724 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4726 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4727 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4728 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4730 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4731 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4732 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4733 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4734 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4736 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4737 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4738 used by default when no-err is given.
4741 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4742 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4744 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4745 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4746 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4747 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4748 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4750 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4751 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4752 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4753 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4755 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4757 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4759 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4761 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4762 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4763 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4764 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4768 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4769 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4771 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4772 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4775 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4776 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4777 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4778 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4781 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4782 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4783 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4784 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4785 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4786 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4787 followup to PR #377.
4790 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4791 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4794 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4795 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4796 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4818 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4819 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4820 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4821 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4822 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4823 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4825 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4826 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4827 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4828 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4829 have to be made anyway).
4832 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4833 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4834 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4837 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4838 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4839 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4842 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4843 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4844 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

4847 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4848 edit numbers of the version.

4883 representations in a platform independent manner.

4887 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4888 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4890 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4892 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4894 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4895 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4897 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4899 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4901 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4902 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4903 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4905 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4907 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4909 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4910 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4912 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4913 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4915 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4918 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4919 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4921 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4923 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4925 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4926 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4928 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4929 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4931 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4932 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4936 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4937 the 0.9.6 release series:
4939 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4940 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4942 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4944 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4947 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4948 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4950 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4951 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4953 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4954 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4955 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4956 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4958 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4959 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4960 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4962 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4963 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4964 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4965 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4967 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4968 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4969 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4972 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4973 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4974 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4975 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4976 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4977 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4978 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4979 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4982 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4983 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4984 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4987 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4988 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4989 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4990 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4991 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4993 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4994 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4996 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4997 error in AES-CFB decryption.
5000 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
5001 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
5002 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
5003 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
5004 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
5005 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
5008 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
5009 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
5010 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
5013 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
5014 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
5017 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
5018 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
5019 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
5020 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
5021 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
5022 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
5023 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
5026 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
5027 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
5028 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
5029 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
5030 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
5031 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
5034 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
5035 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
5036 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
5037 declaration has been changed from
5040 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
5041 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
5042 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
5043 has been changed into
5044 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
5046 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
5047 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
5048 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
5050 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
5051 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
5053 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
5054 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
5055 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
5056 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
5057 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
5058 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
5059 always load it have also been added.
5062 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
5063 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
5064 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5066 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
5068 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
5069 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
5070 because it couldn't be used for anything.
5072 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
5073 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
5074 command line option can be used to specify an
5078 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
5079 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
5082 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
5083 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
5084 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
5087 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
5088 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5089 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
5090 to work with the new engine framework.
5091 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
5093 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
5094 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5095 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
5096 to work with the new engine framework.
5099 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
5100 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
5101 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
5103 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
5104 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
5106 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
5107 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
5108 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
5109 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
5111 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5113 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5114 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5116 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
5117 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
5119 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
5120 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
5121 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
5124 *) Add new functions
5126 ERR_peek_last_error_line
5127 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
5128 These are similar to
5131 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
5132 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
5133 still in the error queue.
5134 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
5136 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
5138 default_algorithms = ALL
5139 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
5142 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
5145 *) New experimental application configuration code.
5148 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
5149 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
5150 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
5151 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
5153 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
5154 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
5156 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
5157 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5159 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
5160 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
5163 *) New functions/macros
5165 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
5166 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
5167 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
5168 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
5170 to request calling a callback function
5172 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
5173 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
5175 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
5176 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
5177 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
5178 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
5179 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
5180 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
5181 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
5182 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
5183 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
5184 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
5186 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
5187 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
5190 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
5191 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
5192 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
5193 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
5194 the configuration scripts.
5196 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
5197 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
5198 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
5200 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
5201 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5203 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
5204 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
5205 when reusing an existing buffer.
5208 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
5209 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
5212 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
5213 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
5216 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
5217 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
5218 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
5219 has the same effect.
5220 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
5222 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
5223 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
5224 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
5225 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
5226 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
5227 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
5230 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
5231 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
5232 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
5233 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
5235 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
5236 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
5237 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
5238 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
5240 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
5241 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
5244 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
5245 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
5246 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
5247 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
5248 default), and then completely removed.
5251 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
5252 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
5253 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
5254 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
5255 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
5256 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
5257 particular extension is supported.
5260 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
5261 to retain compatibility with existing code.
5264 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
5265 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
5266 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
5267 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
5268 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
5269 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
5270 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
5271 requires the destination to be valid.
5273 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
5274 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
5277 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
5278 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
5279 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
5282 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
5283 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
5285 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
5286 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
5287 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
5288 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
5289 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
5290 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
5291 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
5292 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
5293 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
5294 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
5295 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
5296 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
5297 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
5298 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
5299 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
5300 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
5301 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
5302 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
5303 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
5307 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
5310 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
5311 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
5312 become part of libeay.num as well.
5315 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
5316 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
5317 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
5318 false once a handshake has been completed.
5319 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
5320 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
5321 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
5322 client has followed the request.)
5325 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
5326 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
5327 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
5328 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
5330 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
5331 more bits available for options that should not be part of
5332 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
5335 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
5338 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
5339 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
5340 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
5343 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
5344 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5347 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
5348 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
5349 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
5350 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
5353 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
5354 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
5355 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
5356 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
5357 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
5358 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
5361 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
5362 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
5363 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
5364 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
5365 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
5366 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
5367 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
5368 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
5371 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
5372 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
5375 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
5378 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
5379 md_data void pointer.
5382 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
5383 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
5384 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
5385 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
5386 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
5387 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
5390 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
5391 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
5392 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
5393 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
5394 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
5395 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
5396 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
5397 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
5398 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
5399 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
5400 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
5401 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
5402 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
5403 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
5404 rather than letting it slide.
5406 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
5407 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
5408 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
5411 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
5412 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
5413 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
5414 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
5415 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
5416 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
5417 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
5418 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
5419 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
5422 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
5423 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
5424 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
5425 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
5426 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
5428 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
5431 *) Add EVP test program.
5434 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
5437 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
5438 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
5439 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
5440 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
5441 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
5444 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
5445 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
5446 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
5447 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
5448 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
5449 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
5450 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
5452 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
5453 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
5454 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
5459 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
5460 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
5461 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
5462 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
5463 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
5467 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
5468 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
5469 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
5470 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
5473 des_key_schedule ks;
5475 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
5476 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
5478 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5481 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5482 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5483 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5484 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5485 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5486 functions prevents this.
5489 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5492 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5493 correct _ecb suffix.
5496 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5497 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5498 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5499 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5500 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5503 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5506 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5507 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5508 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5509 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5511 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5512 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5514 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5515 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5516 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5517 via Richard Levitte]
5519 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5520 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5521 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5522 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5525 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5528 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

5543 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5544 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5546 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5547 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5548 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5549 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5550 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5551 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5554 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5555 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5558 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5559 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5560 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5561 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5563 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5564 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5565 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5566 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5567 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5568 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5572 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5573 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5574 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5575 and interrupts/cancellations.
5578 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5579 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5582 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5583 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5584 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5586 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5587 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5591 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5592 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5593 than this minimum value is recommended.
5596 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5597 that are easily reachable.
5600 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5601 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5603 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5605 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5606 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5607 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5608 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5611 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5612 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5613 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5616 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5617 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5618 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5619 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5620 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5621 internally such as S/MIME.
5623 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5624 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5625 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5627 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5631 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5632 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5633 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5634 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5636 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5638 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5640 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5641 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5642 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5646 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5647 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5648 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5649 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5650 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5651 a window system and the like.
5654 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5655 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5658 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5659 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5660 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5661 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5662 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5663 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5664 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5665 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5666 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5670 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5671 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5675 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5676 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5677 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5678 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5679 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5680 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5681 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5682 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5685 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5686 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5687 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5688 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5689 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5690 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5691 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5692 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5693 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5694 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5695 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5696 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5697 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5698 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5699 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5700 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5701 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5704 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5705 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5706 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5707 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5708 internal engine_int.h header.
5711 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5712 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5713 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5714 modify their own ones).
5717 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5718 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5719 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5720 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5721 later on via ctrl() commands.
5722 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5723 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5724 structural references.
5725 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5726 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5727 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5728 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5729 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5730 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5731 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5732 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5733 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5734 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5735 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5736 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5739 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5740 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5741 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5742 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5743 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5744 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5745 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5746 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5749 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5750 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5753 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5754 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5757 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5758 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5759 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5760 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5761 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5762 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5763 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5766 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5767 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5768 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5769 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5770 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5772 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5773 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5777 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5779 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5780 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5781 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5783 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5784 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5786 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5787 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5788 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5790 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5791 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5793 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5794 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5796 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5798 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5799 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5800 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5803 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5804 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5807 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5808 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5809 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5810 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5811 is 40 of more characters long.
5814 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5815 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5819 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5820 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5823 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5824 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5828 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5830 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5831 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5834 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5836 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5837 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5838 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5840 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5841 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5843 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5846 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5850 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5851 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5852 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5853 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5855 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5857 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5858 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5860 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5861 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5862 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5863 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5864 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5865 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5867 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5868 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5870 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5871 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5873 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5874 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5876 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5877 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5878 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5879 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5881 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5882 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5884 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5885 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5887 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5888 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5889 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5890 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5891 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5894 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5895 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5896 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5897 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5900 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5901 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5902 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5906 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5907 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5908 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5909 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5910 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5911 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5912 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5913 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5917 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5918 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5921 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5922 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5923 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5924 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5927 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5928 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5929 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5930 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5931 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5932 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5933 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5934 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5935 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5936 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5939 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5940 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5941 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5942 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5943 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5944 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5945 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5946 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5948 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5949 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5950 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5951 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5954 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5955 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5956 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5957 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5959 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5960 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5961 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5962 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5963 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5967 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5968 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5969 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5970 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5974 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5975 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5976 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5979 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5980 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5981 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5982 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5983 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5986 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5989 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5990 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5991 option to ocsp utility.
5994 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5995 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5996 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5997 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5998 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5999 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
6000 the request is nonce-less.
6003 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
6004 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
6005 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
6008 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
6009 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
6010 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
6013 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
6014 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
6015 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
6016 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
6017 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
6020 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
6021 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
6025 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
6026 additional certificates supplied.
6029 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
6030 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
6034 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
6035 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
6038 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
6039 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
6040 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
6041 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
6042 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
6043 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
6044 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
6045 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
6046 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
6048 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
6049 request to response.
6052 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
6053 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
6054 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
6055 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
6056 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
6057 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
6058 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
6059 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
6060 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
6061 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
6062 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
6065 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
6066 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
6067 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
6068 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
6071 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
6072 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6074 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
6075 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
6076 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
6079 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
6080 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
6081 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
6082 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6083 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6085 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
6086 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
6087 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
6090 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
6091 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
6092 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
6093 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
6094 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
6095 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
6096 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
6097 <support@securenetterm.com>]
6099 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
6100 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
6101 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
6102 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
6103 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
6104 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
6107 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
6108 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
6109 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
6110 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
6111 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
6112 printout format cleaned up.
6115 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
6116 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
6117 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
6118 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
6119 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
6120 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
6121 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
6122 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
6125 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
6126 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
6127 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
6128 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
6129 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
6130 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
6131 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
6132 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
6135 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
6136 extensions from a separate configuration file.
6137 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
6138 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
6140 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6142 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
6143 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
6144 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
6145 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
6148 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
6149 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
6150 the given serial number (according to the index file).
6151 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
6153 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
6155 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
6156 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
6157 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
6158 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6160 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
6161 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
6163 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
6164 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
6165 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
6168 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
6169 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
6170 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
6173 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
6174 file name and line number information in additional arguments
6175 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
6176 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
6177 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
6178 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
6179 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
6180 functions are provided:
6182 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
6183 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
6184 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
6185 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
6187 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
6188 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
6189 extended allocation function is enabled.
6190 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
6191 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
6192 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
6194 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
6195 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
6196 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
6197 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
6198 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
6201 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
6202 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
6203 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
6205 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
6206 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
6207 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
6210 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
6211 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
6212 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
6213 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
6214 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
6215 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
6216 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
6217 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
6218 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
6221 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
6222 provide utility functions which an application needing
6223 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
6224 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
6225 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
6227 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
6228 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
6229 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
6230 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
6231 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
6232 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
6233 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
6234 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
6235 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
6237 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
6238 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
6239 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
6240 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
6243 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
6244 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
6245 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
6246 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
6247 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
6248 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
6249 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
6250 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
6251 will be added elsewhere.
6254 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
6255 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
6256 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
6257 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
6260 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
6261 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
6262 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
6263 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
6264 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
6265 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
6266 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
6267 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
6268 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
6269 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
6270 to produce the required SET OF.
6273 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
6274 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
6275 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
6278 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
6279 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
6280 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
6281 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
6282 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
6283 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
6286 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
6287 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
6288 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
6291 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
6292 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
6293 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
6296 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
6297 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
6298 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
6299 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
6300 code will still work when these eventually go away.
6303 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
6304 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
6307 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
6308 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
6309 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
6310 certifcates and CRLs.
6313 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
6314 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
6315 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
6318 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
6319 entries for variables.
6322 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
6323 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
6324 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
6325 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
6328 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
6329 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
6330 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
6331 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
6332 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
6333 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
6336 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
6337 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
6339 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
6340 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
6341 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
6344 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
6348 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
6349 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
6350 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
6351 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
6352 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
6353 order did not reflect the encoded order.
6356 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
6359 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
6360 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
6361 for now but they will eventually go away.
6364 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
6365 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
6366 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
6367 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
6368 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
6369 has also been converted to the new form.
6372 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
6373 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
6374 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
6375 for negative moduli.
6378 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
6379 of not touching the result's sign bit.
6382 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
6386 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
6387 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
6388 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
6389 type-specific callbacks.
6392 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
6394 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6395 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
6397 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
6398 in sections depending on the subject.
6401 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
6405 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
6406 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
6407 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
6408 be handled deterministically).
6409 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6411 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
6412 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
6413 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
6416 *) New function BN_kronecker.
6419 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
6420 positive unless both parameters are zero.
6421 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
6422 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
6423 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
6426 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
6427 sign of the number in question.
6429 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
6431 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
6432 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
6433 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
6434 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
6435 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
6438 *) New function BN_swap.
6441 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
6442 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
6443 results on negative inputs.
6446 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
6447 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
6448 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
6451 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
6452 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
6453 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
6454 and add new functions:
6463 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
6467 These functions always generate non-negative results.
6469 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
6470 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
6472 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
6473 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
6474 be reduced modulo m.
6475 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
6478 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
6479 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6480 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6482 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6483 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6484 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6485 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6486 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6487 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6492 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6493 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6494 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6495 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6496 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6498 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6499 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6500 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6504 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6507 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6508 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6511 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6512 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6513 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6514 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6518 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6521 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6524 *) Add the following functions:
6526 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6528 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6530 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6532 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6533 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6534 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6535 libraries unless it's really needed.
6537 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6538 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6539 declarations (they differed!).
6542 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6545 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6548 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6551 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6552 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6555 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6556 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6557 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6559 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6560 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6563 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6566 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6569 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6572 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6573 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6574 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6576 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6577 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6578 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6579 different shared library filenames on each system.
6582 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6585 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6586 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6587 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6589 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6592 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6593 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6594 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6595 binary backward compatibility.
6596 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6597 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6598 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6602 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6603 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6604 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6605 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6609 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6612 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6613 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6614 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6615 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6619 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6622 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6624 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6625 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6626 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6628 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6630 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6632 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6633 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6636 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6638 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6640 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6641 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6643 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6644 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6648 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6649 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6653 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6654 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6655 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6656 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6658 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6659 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6662 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6664 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6665 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6666 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6667 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6670 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6671 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6672 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6673 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6674 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6676 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6677 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6678 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6679 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6680 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6681 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6682 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6683 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6684 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6687 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6689 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6690 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6691 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6692 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6693 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6695 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6696 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6697 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6699 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6701 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6702 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6703 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6704 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6705 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6706 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6709 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6710 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6711 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6712 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6713 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6716 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6717 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6718 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6720 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6721 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6722 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6726 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6727 being properly terminated.
6730 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6731 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6732 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6733 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6735 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6736 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6737 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6738 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6739 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6740 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6741 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6743 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6745 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6746 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6749 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6750 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6751 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6752 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6753 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6754 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6755 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6756 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6758 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6759 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6760 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6761 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6762 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6764 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6765 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6768 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6770 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6771 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6772 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6774 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6776 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6777 and get fix the header length calculation.
6778 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6779 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6782 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6783 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6784 assertions could call abort()).
6785 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6787 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6789 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6790 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6791 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6793 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6795 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6796 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6797 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6800 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6804 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6805 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6806 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6808 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6809 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6810 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6811 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6812 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6816 *) Changes in security patch:
6818 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6819 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6820 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6823 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6824 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6825 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6826 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6827 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6829 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6831 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6833 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6834 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6835 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6837 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6838 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6839 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6841 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6842 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6843 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6845 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6847 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6848 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6849 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6851 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6852 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6854 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6855 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6856 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6857 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6858 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6859 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6862 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6863 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6864 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6865 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6868 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6871 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6872 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6873 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6874 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6875 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6876 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6878 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6879 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6880 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6881 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6882 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6885 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6886 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6887 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6888 BN_generate_prime().)
6890 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6891 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6892 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6896 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6897 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6900 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6901 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6902 when using non-blocking I/O.
6903 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6905 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6906 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6908 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6909 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6912 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6913 configuration for the versions before that.
6914 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6916 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6917 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6918 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6919 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6922 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6923 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6924 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6927 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6931 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6932 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6933 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6935 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6936 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6938 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6939 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6940 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6941 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6942 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6943 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6944 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6947 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6948 using a local variable.
6949 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6951 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6952 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6953 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6955 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6958 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6959 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6961 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6962 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6963 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6965 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6967 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6968 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6969 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6970 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6973 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6977 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6978 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6979 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6980 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6981 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6983 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6984 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6985 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6987 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6988 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6989 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6991 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6992 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6993 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6994 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6996 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6997 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6998 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
7000 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
7002 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7003 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
7005 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
7007 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7008 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
7009 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
7010 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
7012 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
7013 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
7014 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
7015 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
7017 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
7018 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
7020 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
7021 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
7022 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
7025 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
7026 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
7027 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
7029 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
7031 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
7032 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
7033 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
7034 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
7035 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
7036 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
7037 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
7040 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
7041 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
7042 one of the SSL handshake functions.
7043 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
7045 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
7046 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
7047 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
7048 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
7049 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
7050 the client will at least see that alert.
7053 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
7057 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
7058 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
7059 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
7061 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
7062 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
7063 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
7064 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
7067 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
7068 before just sending a HelloRequest.
7069 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
7071 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
7072 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
7073 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
7074 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
7075 may leak via logfiles.)
7077 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
7078 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
7079 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
7080 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
7084 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
7085 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
7088 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
7089 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
7090 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
7091 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
7092 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
7095 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
7096 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
7098 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
7099 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
7100 followed by modular reduction.
7101 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
7103 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
7104 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
7107 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
7108 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
7109 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
7110 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
7113 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
7116 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
7117 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
7120 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
7121 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
7122 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
7123 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
7124 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
7125 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
7127 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
7129 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
7130 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
7131 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
7132 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
7133 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
7135 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
7138 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
7139 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
7140 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
7141 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
7142 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
7143 to allow the necessary settings.
7146 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
7147 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
7148 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
7149 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
7152 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
7153 dh->length and always used
7155 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
7157 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
7158 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
7159 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
7160 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
7161 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
7166 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
7168 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
7174 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
7175 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
7176 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
7177 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
7179 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
7180 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
7181 always reject numbers >= n.
7184 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
7185 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
7186 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
7187 variable) is not atomic.
7190 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
7191 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
7192 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
7193 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
7195 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
7196 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
7198 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
7200 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
7202 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
7205 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
7207 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
7208 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
7209 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
7210 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
7211 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
7212 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
7213 to traverse all of 'state'.
7215 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
7216 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
7217 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
7219 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
7220 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
7222 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
7223 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
7224 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
7225 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
7226 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
7227 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
7228 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
7229 further strengthens the PRNG.
7232 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
7235 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
7236 an error message in this case.
7239 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
7242 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
7243 positive and less than q.
7246 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
7247 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
7249 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
7251 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
7252 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
7256 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7258 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
7259 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
7260 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
7261 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
7262 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
7263 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
7264 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
7267 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
7268 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
7269 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
7270 detect the supposedly ignored error.
7272 Both problems are now fixed.
7275 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
7276 (previously it was 1024).
7279 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
7280 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
7283 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
7286 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
7287 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
7288 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
7291 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
7292 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
7293 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
7294 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
7295 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
7296 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
7297 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
7298 environment variables.
7300 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
7301 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
7302 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
7305 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
7306 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
7307 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
7308 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
7309 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
7310 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
7313 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
7317 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
7319 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
7320 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
7322 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
7323 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
7324 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
7325 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
7329 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
7330 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
7331 amount of data available.
7332 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
7333 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7335 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
7336 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
7337 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
7338 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
7341 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
7342 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
7346 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
7347 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
7348 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
7349 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
7352 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
7355 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
7358 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
7359 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
7361 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7363 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
7364 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
7365 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
7366 (but broken) behaviour.
7369 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
7371 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
7373 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
7374 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
7377 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
7381 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
7382 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
7384 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
7387 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
7388 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
7389 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
7391 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
7392 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
7393 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
7396 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
7397 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
7400 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
7401 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
7403 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
7405 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
7407 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
7408 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
7409 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
7410 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
7413 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
7416 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
7417 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
7418 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7420 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
7423 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7425 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
7426 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
7427 but the code is actually correct.
7430 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
7431 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
7432 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
7433 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
7434 and leaves the highest bit random.
7435 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7437 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
7438 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
7439 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
7440 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
7441 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
7442 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
7443 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
7446 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
7449 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
7450 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
7453 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
7454 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
7455 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
7456 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
7460 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
7461 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
7462 and break the signature.
7464 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
7466 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
7470 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
7471 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
7472 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
7473 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
7474 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
7477 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
7478 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7480 *) ./config script fixes.
7481 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7483 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7486 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7487 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7488 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7489 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7490 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7492 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7493 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7496 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7497 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7500 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7501 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7502 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7503 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7505 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7506 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7508 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7509 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7510 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7511 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7512 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7514 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7517 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7520 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7523 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7526 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7527 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7530 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7531 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7532 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7533 result of the server certificate verification.)
7536 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7537 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7538 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7542 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7543 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7544 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7545 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7546 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7547 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7548 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7549 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7552 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7553 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7554 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7555 happening the other way round.
7558 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7559 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7562 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7563 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7564 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7565 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7568 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7569 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7571 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7573 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7574 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7575 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7578 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7580 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7582 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7586 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7588 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7589 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7590 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7591 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7592 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7594 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7595 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7599 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7602 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7604 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7605 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7606 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7607 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7608 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7609 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7610 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7611 by the Finished messages.
7614 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7615 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7617 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7618 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7619 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7620 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7621 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7625 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7626 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7627 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7628 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7629 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7630 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7631 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7632 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7633 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7637 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7638 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7639 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7640 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7642 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7643 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7644 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7645 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7646 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7649 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7650 been tested well enough.
7653 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7654 it can return incorrect results.
7655 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7656 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7659 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7660 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7661 include zero length content when signing messages.
7664 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7665 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7668 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7671 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7675 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7676 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7677 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7678 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7679 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7680 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7683 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7684 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7686 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7687 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7689 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7690 random number < q in the DSA library.
7693 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7694 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7695 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7696 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7697 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7698 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7699 just makes things more complicated.)
7702 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7706 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7707 work better on such systems.
7708 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7710 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7711 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7712 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7715 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7716 if there was more than one signature.
7717 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7719 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7720 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7721 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7722 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7725 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7726 rather than always using the current time.
7729 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7730 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7731 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7732 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7733 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7734 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7736 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7737 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7739 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7741 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7742 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7743 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7744 the same hash value.
7746 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7747 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7748 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7749 with X509_STORE internally.
7751 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7752 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7754 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7755 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7756 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7757 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7758 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7759 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7760 entirely (maybe later...).
7762 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7764 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7765 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7766 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7767 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7768 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7769 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7770 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7771 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7773 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7774 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7776 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7777 to customise the verify behaviour.
7780 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7781 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7784 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7785 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7786 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7787 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7788 request is improperly encoded.
7791 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7792 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7795 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7796 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7798 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7799 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7803 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7804 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7805 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7808 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7809 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7810 BIO/fp routines also added.
7813 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7814 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7816 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7817 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7818 demos/state_machine.
7821 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7822 generation and verification.
7825 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7826 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7827 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7828 encode and decode it manually.
7831 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7833 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7835 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7836 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7837 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7838 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7840 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7841 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7842 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7843 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7844 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7847 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7850 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7851 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7852 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7854 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7855 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7856 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7857 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7858 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7859 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7860 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7861 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7863 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7864 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7866 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7868 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7869 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7870 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7874 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7875 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7876 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7877 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7881 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7883 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7886 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7887 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7888 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7889 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7890 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7891 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7892 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7893 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7894 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7895 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7896 short or long names are found.
7899 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7900 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7902 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7903 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7904 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7905 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7907 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7908 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7909 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7910 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7913 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7914 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7915 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7918 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7919 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7920 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7921 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7922 to allow the various flags to be set.
7925 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7926 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7927 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7928 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7929 dates to be checked.
7932 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7933 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7934 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7937 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7938 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7939 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7942 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7943 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7946 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7947 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7948 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7949 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7950 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7951 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7954 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7955 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7959 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7963 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7964 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7965 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7966 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7967 form signing output easier to verify.
7970 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7973 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7974 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7975 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7976 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7977 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7978 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7979 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7980 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7981 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7982 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7985 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7987 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7988 the syntax given in objects.README.
7989 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7991 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7994 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7995 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7996 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7997 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7998 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7999 consistent name changes.
8002 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
8005 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
8006 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
8007 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
8008 environment variable, or the default random state file.
8011 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
8012 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
8013 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
8017 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
8018 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
8019 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
8020 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
8023 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
8024 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
8025 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
8026 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
8027 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
8028 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
8029 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
8030 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
8031 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
8032 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
8033 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
8036 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
8037 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
8038 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
8039 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
8040 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
8041 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
8042 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
8043 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
8044 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
8045 algorithm to openssl-dev.
8048 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
8049 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
8050 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
8051 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
8053 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
8054 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
8055 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
8056 omit any duplicate addresses.
8059 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
8060 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
8063 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
8064 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
8065 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
8066 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
8067 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
8070 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
8072 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
8073 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
8074 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
8075 Free => OPENSSL_free
8078 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
8079 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
8082 *) CygWin32 support.
8083 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
8085 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
8086 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
8087 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
8088 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
8089 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
8093 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
8094 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
8095 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
8096 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
8097 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
8098 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
8099 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
8102 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
8103 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
8104 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
8105 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
8106 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
8107 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
8108 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
8109 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
8110 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
8111 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
8112 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
8115 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
8116 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
8117 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
8118 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
8119 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
8121 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
8122 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
8123 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
8124 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
8125 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
8127 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
8130 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
8131 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
8132 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
8133 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
8135 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
8137 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
8140 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
8141 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
8142 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
8145 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
8146 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
8147 any installed hardware versions can.
8150 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
8151 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
8152 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
8156 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
8157 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
8158 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
8159 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
8160 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
8162 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
8163 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
8166 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
8167 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
8170 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
8171 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
8172 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
8176 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
8179 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
8180 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
8181 but no ssl client purpose.
8182 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
8184 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
8185 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
8186 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
8187 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
8188 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
8189 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
8190 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
8191 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
8192 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
8193 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
8194 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
8197 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
8198 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
8199 be obtained from the error queue.
8202 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
8203 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
8204 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
8205 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
8208 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
8211 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
8212 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
8213 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
8214 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
8215 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
8218 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
8219 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
8220 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
8221 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
8222 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
8225 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
8226 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
8227 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
8229 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
8231 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
8232 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
8233 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
8234 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
8235 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
8236 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
8237 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
8238 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
8239 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
8240 or "the configuration storage API"...
8242 The new configuration file reading functions are:
8244 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
8245 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
8247 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
8249 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
8251 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
8252 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
8253 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
8254 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
8255 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
8256 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
8257 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
8259 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
8260 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
8263 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
8264 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
8265 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
8266 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
8269 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
8270 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
8271 them in a portable way.
8272 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
8274 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
8276 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
8278 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
8279 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
8281 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
8282 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
8283 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
8286 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
8287 was larger than the MD block size.
8288 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
8290 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
8291 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
8292 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
8293 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
8297 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
8298 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
8299 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
8301 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
8303 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
8305 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
8306 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
8307 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
8308 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
8309 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
8310 Additional arguments are always ignored.
8312 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
8313 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
8315 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
8316 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
8319 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
8322 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
8323 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
8325 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
8326 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
8327 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
8328 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
8331 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
8332 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
8333 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
8334 does not suppress any output.
8337 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
8338 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
8339 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
8340 with all the associated security issues.
8342 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
8343 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
8344 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
8345 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
8346 use the value in the default purpose.
8349 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
8350 and fix a memory leak.
8353 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
8354 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
8355 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
8356 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
8359 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
8360 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
8361 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
8362 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
8365 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
8366 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
8367 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
8370 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
8371 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
8374 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
8375 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
8379 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
8380 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
8383 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
8384 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
8385 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
8388 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
8389 number generation fails.
8392 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
8395 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
8396 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
8398 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
8401 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
8402 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
8404 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
8405 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
8407 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
8409 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
8410 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
8413 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
8414 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
8416 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
8417 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
8420 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
8421 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
8422 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
8423 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
8424 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
8425 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
8427 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
8428 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
8429 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
8433 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
8434 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
8435 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
8436 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
8437 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
8438 counter, some don't.)
8439 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
8440 counters or duplicate objects.
8443 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
8444 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
8447 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
8448 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
8449 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
8451 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
8452 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
8453 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
8457 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
8458 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
8461 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
8462 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
8463 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
8467 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
8468 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
8469 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
8472 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
8473 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
8474 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
8475 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
8476 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
8477 should work without changes.
8480 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8481 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8482 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8483 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8484 must be defined. E.g.,
8485 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8486 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8487 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8488 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8490 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8494 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8495 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8496 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8499 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8500 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8501 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8502 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8505 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8506 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8507 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8508 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8509 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8510 is prompted for as usual.
8513 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8514 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8515 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8516 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8518 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8519 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8520 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8521 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8524 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8527 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8531 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8534 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8537 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8541 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8544 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8547 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8548 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8551 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8552 options to produce them.
8555 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8556 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8559 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8563 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8564 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8565 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8566 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8567 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8568 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8569 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8572 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8575 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8576 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8577 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8580 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8581 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8583 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8584 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8587 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8588 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8589 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8593 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8594 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8596 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8597 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8598 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8599 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8600 generation becomes much faster.
8602 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8603 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8604 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8605 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8606 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8607 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8608 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8609 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8610 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8611 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8614 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8615 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8616 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8617 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8618 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8619 trial division stage.
8622 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8626 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8629 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8632 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8633 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8634 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8638 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8639 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8640 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8643 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8644 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8645 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8646 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8648 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8649 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8652 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8655 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8656 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8657 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8658 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8661 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8662 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8663 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8666 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8667 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8668 (instead of parameters) in future.
8671 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8672 when a new cipher list is set.
8675 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8676 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8679 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8680 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8681 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8683 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8684 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8685 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8686 an error is flagged.
8688 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8689 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8690 the readability was also increased :-)
8691 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8693 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8694 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8695 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8696 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8700 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8701 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8704 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8705 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8706 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8707 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8710 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8711 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8712 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8713 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8714 because they handle more complex structures.)
8717 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8718 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8719 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8720 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8722 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8723 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8724 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8725 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8726 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8727 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8728 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8731 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8732 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8733 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8734 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8735 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8738 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8741 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8742 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8743 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8744 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8745 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8748 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8752 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8753 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8754 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8755 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8758 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8761 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8762 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8763 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8764 international characters are used.
8766 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8767 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8768 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8772 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8773 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8774 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8777 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8778 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8779 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8780 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8781 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8782 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8784 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8785 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8786 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8787 be handled by the string table functions.
8789 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8790 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8791 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8792 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8793 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8797 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8798 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8799 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8800 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8801 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8803 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8804 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8805 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8806 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8809 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8810 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8811 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8812 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8813 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8817 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8818 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8819 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8820 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8821 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8822 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8823 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8824 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8826 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8827 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8828 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8831 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8832 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8833 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8834 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8835 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8836 support to pkcs8 application.
8839 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8840 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8841 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8842 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8843 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8844 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8847 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8848 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8849 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8850 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8851 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8855 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8856 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8857 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8858 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8862 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8863 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8864 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8865 and any application specific purposes.
8867 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8868 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8869 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8870 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8871 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8872 if the certificate is self signed.
8875 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8876 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8879 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8880 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8881 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8882 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8885 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8886 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8887 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8888 Update documentation.
8891 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8892 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8893 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8894 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8895 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8898 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8900 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8902 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8903 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8904 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8905 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8906 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8907 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8908 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8909 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8910 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8911 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8913 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8915 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8916 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8917 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8918 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8919 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8921 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8922 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8923 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8924 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8925 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8926 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8927 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8928 request additional information:
8929 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8930 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8932 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8933 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8934 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8937 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8938 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8941 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8944 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8945 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8947 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8948 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8949 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8953 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8954 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8955 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8957 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8958 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8959 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8960 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8961 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8962 included in OpenSSL.
8965 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8966 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8967 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8968 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8969 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8970 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8973 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8977 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8978 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8979 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8980 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8981 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8985 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8989 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8990 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8991 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8992 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8993 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8994 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8995 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8996 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8997 be maintained manually.
8999 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
9000 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
9001 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
9002 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
9003 work because people forget to call this function]
9004 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
9005 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
9006 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
9009 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
9010 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
9011 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
9012 should be discouraged from doing it.
9015 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
9016 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
9017 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
9018 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
9019 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
9020 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
9023 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
9024 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
9025 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
9027 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
9028 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
9029 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
9031 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
9032 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
9033 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
9034 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
9035 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
9036 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
9038 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
9039 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
9040 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
9042 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
9043 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
9046 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
9047 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
9048 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
9049 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
9052 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
9055 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
9056 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
9057 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
9058 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
9059 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
9060 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
9061 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
9062 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
9063 keys so we should be OK.
9065 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
9066 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
9067 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
9068 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
9069 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
9070 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
9071 stay in the name of compatibility.
9073 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
9074 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
9075 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
9077 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
9078 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
9079 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
9080 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
9081 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
9082 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
9086 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
9087 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
9088 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
9089 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
9090 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
9091 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
9092 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
9093 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
9094 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
9095 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
9096 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
9097 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
9098 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
9101 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
9104 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
9105 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
9106 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
9107 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
9108 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
9109 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
9110 single self signed certificate. This means that:
9111 openssl verify ss.pem
9112 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
9113 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
9117 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
9118 (and add it to external session representation).
9119 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
9120 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
9121 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
9122 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
9123 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
9124 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
9126 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
9128 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
9129 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
9130 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
9131 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
9133 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
9134 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
9135 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
9138 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
9139 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
9140 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
9144 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
9145 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
9146 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
9148 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
9149 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
9150 certificate auxiliary information.
9153 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
9157 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
9158 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
9159 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
9160 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
9161 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
9162 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
9163 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
9166 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
9167 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
9170 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
9171 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
9172 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
9173 manpages and fix a few bugs.
9176 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
9179 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
9180 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
9183 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
9184 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
9185 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
9186 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
9187 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
9188 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
9189 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
9190 using the new 'x509' options.
9192 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
9193 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
9194 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
9195 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
9199 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
9200 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
9201 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
9202 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
9203 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
9206 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
9207 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
9208 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
9209 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
9210 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
9211 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
9212 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
9213 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
9214 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
9215 the key length and effective key length are equal.
9218 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
9219 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
9220 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
9221 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
9222 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
9223 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
9224 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
9227 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
9228 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
9229 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
9230 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
9231 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
9232 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
9233 openssl.cnf for more info.
9236 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
9237 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
9238 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
9239 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
9240 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
9241 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
9242 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
9243 md should be large enough anyway.
9246 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
9247 for handling the random seed file.
9249 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
9251 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
9254 x509 (when signing).
9255 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
9256 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
9257 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
9259 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
9260 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
9261 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
9262 that support '-rand'.
9265 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
9266 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
9269 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
9270 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
9273 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
9274 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
9275 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
9276 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
9280 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
9281 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
9282 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
9283 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
9286 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
9287 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
9288 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
9289 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
9290 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
9291 print out all the purposes.
9294 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
9298 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
9299 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
9300 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
9301 single function call.
9304 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
9305 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
9308 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
9309 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
9310 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
9313 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
9314 when producing the local key id.
9315 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9317 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
9318 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
9319 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
9323 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
9324 a public key to be input or output. For example:
9325 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
9326 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
9329 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
9330 in the message. This was handled by allowing
9331 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
9332 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
9334 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
9335 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
9336 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
9337 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9339 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
9340 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
9341 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
9342 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
9343 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
9344 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
9345 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
9346 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
9347 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
9348 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
9349 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
9350 trivial: move one line.
9351 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
9353 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
9354 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
9355 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
9356 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
9357 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
9358 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
9359 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
9360 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
9361 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
9362 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
9363 with an event loop for example.
9366 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
9367 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
9368 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
9369 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
9370 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
9371 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
9372 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
9373 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
9374 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
9377 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
9378 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
9379 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
9380 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
9381 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
9382 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
9385 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
9386 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
9387 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
9388 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
9390 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
9391 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
9392 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
9393 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
9397 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
9398 (still largely untested)
9401 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
9402 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
9405 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
9406 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
9409 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
9410 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
9411 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
9414 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
9415 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
9416 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
9417 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
9418 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
9421 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
9424 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
9425 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
9426 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
9427 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
9428 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
9432 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
9433 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
9436 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
9439 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
9440 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
9441 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
9442 are otherwise ignored at present.
9445 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
9446 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
9447 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
9448 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
9449 copied until the next read.
9452 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
9453 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
9454 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
9457 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
9458 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
9459 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
9460 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
9461 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
9462 associated functions.
9465 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
9466 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
9467 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
9468 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
9469 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
9470 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
9471 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
9472 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
9473 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
9477 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
9478 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
9479 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9480 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9483 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9484 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9485 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9486 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9487 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9491 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9492 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9496 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9497 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9498 extensions to be obtained and added.
9501 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9502 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9505 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9507 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9510 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9511 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9513 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9517 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9518 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9519 DH parameters contain its length).
9521 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9522 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9523 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9524 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9525 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9526 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9527 utter importance to use
9528 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9530 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9531 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9532 attacks may become possible!
9535 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9538 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9539 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9542 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9543 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9544 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9548 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9549 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9550 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9551 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9552 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9553 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9554 private key operations.
9557 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9560 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9561 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9563 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9564 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9565 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9566 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9567 the password callback is called.
9568 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9570 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9572 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9573 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9574 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9575 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9576 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9577 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9580 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9581 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9582 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9583 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9584 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9585 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9588 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9591 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9592 delete an unused file.
9595 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9596 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9597 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9598 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9601 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9602 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9603 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9607 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9608 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9609 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9611 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9612 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9613 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9614 comparison" warnings.
9615 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9618 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9619 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9620 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9623 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9624 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9626 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9627 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9629 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9630 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9631 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9633 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9634 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9635 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9636 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9637 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9639 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9641 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9642 The interface is as follows:
9643 Applications can use
9644 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9645 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9646 "off" is now the default.
9647 The library internally uses
9648 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9649 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9650 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9652 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9653 even the default) are now avoided.
9655 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9656 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9657 than just having a counter.
9659 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9661 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9665 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9666 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9667 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9668 Initial "mode" flags are:
9670 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9671 a single record has been written.
9672 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9673 retries use the same buffer location.
9674 (But all of the contents must be
9678 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9681 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9682 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9684 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9685 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9686 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9689 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9690 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9692 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9694 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9695 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9696 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9697 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9699 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9700 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9702 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9703 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9704 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9705 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9706 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9707 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9710 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9711 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9712 necessary function names.
9715 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9716 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9717 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9718 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9721 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9722 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9723 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9726 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9727 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9728 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9729 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9731 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9735 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9736 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9737 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9740 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9741 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9745 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9746 for the encoded length.
9747 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9749 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9752 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9753 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9754 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9755 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9758 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9759 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9760 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9762 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9763 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9764 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9768 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9769 to use the new extension code.
9772 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9773 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9774 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9778 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9779 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9780 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9784 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9787 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9788 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9789 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9792 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9793 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9794 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9795 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9798 *) DES library cleanups.
9801 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9802 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9803 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9804 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9805 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9809 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9810 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9813 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9814 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9815 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9816 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9817 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9818 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9819 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9820 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9821 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9824 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9825 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9826 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9827 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9828 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9829 value doesn't matter.
9832 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9836 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9837 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9838 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9839 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9841 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9844 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9845 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9846 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9848 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9849 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9851 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9854 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9857 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9860 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9864 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9866 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9868 *) Updated some demos.
9869 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9871 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9874 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9877 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9880 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9881 instead of using a fixed path.
9884 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9887 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9891 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9893 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9894 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9895 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9897 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9898 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9899 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9900 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9901 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9902 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9903 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9904 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9905 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9906 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9909 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9910 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9913 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9914 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9915 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9916 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9917 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9919 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9922 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9923 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9924 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9927 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9930 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9931 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9932 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9933 key elements as negative integers.
9936 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9937 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9940 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9942 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9943 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9944 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9947 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9948 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9949 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9950 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9951 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9954 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9957 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9958 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9959 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9962 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9963 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9964 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9966 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9967 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9968 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9969 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9970 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9971 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9972 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9973 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9974 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9976 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9977 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9978 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9979 does not influence s as it used to.
9981 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9982 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9983 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9984 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9985 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9986 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9989 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9990 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9991 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9995 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9996 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9997 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
10001 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
10002 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
10003 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
10007 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
10008 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
10011 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
10012 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10014 *) Support Mingw32.
10017 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
10018 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10020 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
10021 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10023 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
10026 *) Update HPUX configuration.
10029 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
10030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10032 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
10033 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
10034 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
10038 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
10039 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
10040 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
10041 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
10042 now it really counts the depth.
10045 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
10046 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
10047 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
10048 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
10049 didn't match the private key).
10051 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
10052 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
10053 connection using the SSL_CTX).
10056 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
10059 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
10063 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
10064 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
10065 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
10068 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
10071 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
10072 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
10073 such as /usr/local/bin.
10076 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
10077 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10079 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
10082 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
10083 extension adding in x509 utility.
10086 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
10089 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
10093 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
10096 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
10097 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
10098 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
10099 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
10100 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
10101 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
10102 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
10103 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
10104 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
10105 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
10108 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
10111 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
10112 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
10115 *) Fix some race conditions.
10118 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
10119 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
10122 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
10125 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
10126 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
10127 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
10128 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
10130 *) Fix lots of warnings.
10131 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10133 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
10134 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
10135 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10137 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
10138 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10140 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
10143 *) Fix typos in error codes.
10144 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
10146 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
10149 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
10150 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
10152 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
10153 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
10156 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
10157 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
10160 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
10161 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
10164 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
10165 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
10168 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
10169 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
10172 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
10173 support typesafe stack.
10176 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
10177 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
10179 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
10180 old X509V3 handling code.
10183 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
10186 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
10189 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
10192 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
10193 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
10195 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
10196 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
10197 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
10198 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
10199 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
10202 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
10203 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
10204 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
10205 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
10206 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
10208 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
10209 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
10210 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
10211 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10213 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
10214 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
10215 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
10216 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10218 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
10219 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
10220 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
10221 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
10222 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
10223 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
10226 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
10227 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
10230 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
10231 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
10234 *) Tweaks to Configure
10235 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
10237 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
10241 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
10244 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
10245 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
10248 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
10249 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
10250 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
10253 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
10256 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
10257 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
10260 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
10261 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
10262 to library startup routines.
10265 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
10266 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
10267 codes along the way.
10270 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
10271 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
10272 objects to objects.h
10275 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
10276 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
10279 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
10280 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
10282 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
10283 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
10284 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
10286 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
10287 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10288 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10290 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
10291 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
10292 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
10295 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
10297 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
10298 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
10301 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
10302 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
10303 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
10304 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
10305 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
10307 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
10308 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
10309 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
10311 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10313 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
10315 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
10317 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
10318 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10320 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
10321 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
10322 if someone would make that last step automatic.
10323 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
10325 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
10328 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
10329 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
10330 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
10331 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
10334 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
10335 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
10336 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
10339 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
10340 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
10341 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
10342 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
10343 installed as `perl').
10344 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10346 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
10347 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10349 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
10350 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
10351 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
10352 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
10353 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
10356 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
10359 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
10360 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
10361 is horrible: I feel ill....
10364 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
10365 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
10366 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
10367 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
10370 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
10371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10373 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
10374 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
10375 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
10376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10378 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
10379 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
10380 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
10381 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
10382 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
10383 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
10385 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10387 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
10388 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10390 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
10391 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
10393 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
10396 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
10397 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
10401 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
10402 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
10403 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
10404 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
10405 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
10406 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
10407 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
10408 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
10409 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
10410 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
10411 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10413 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
10416 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
10417 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
10418 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
10419 for linking it into DSOs.
10420 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10422 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
10426 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
10427 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
10428 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
10429 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
10430 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
10431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10433 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
10434 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
10435 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
10436 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
10437 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
10438 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
10439 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10441 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
10442 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
10443 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
10447 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
10448 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
10449 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
10450 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
10453 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
10454 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
10455 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
10456 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
10457 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
10461 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
10462 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
10463 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
10464 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
10465 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10467 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
10468 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
10469 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10471 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
10472 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
10474 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
10475 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
10476 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
10477 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
10478 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10481 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10482 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10483 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10484 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10485 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10486 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10487 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10490 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10492 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10493 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10496 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10497 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10499 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10500 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10503 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10504 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10505 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10506 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10507 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10509 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10510 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10511 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10512 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10513 no way to reconfigure them.
10514 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10515 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10516 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10517 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10518 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10519 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10521 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10522 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10523 recognized by the users.
10524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10526 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10527 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10528 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10529 already masked variable.
10530 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10532 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10533 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10535 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10536 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10537 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10538 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10540 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10541 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10542 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10544 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10545 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10546 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10547 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10548 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10549 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10550 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10551 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10553 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10555 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10556 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10557 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10559 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10560 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10564 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10565 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10567 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10568 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10569 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10570 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10573 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10576 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10577 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10579 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10582 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10583 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10586 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10587 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10590 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10591 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10592 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10593 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10594 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10595 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10596 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10599 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10600 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10602 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10603 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10604 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10605 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10606 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10608 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10609 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10610 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10613 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10614 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10618 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10619 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10620 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10622 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10623 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10624 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10625 build instructions.
10628 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10629 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10630 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10631 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10634 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10635 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10636 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10637 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10640 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10641 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10642 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10643 so it wasn't spotted.
10644 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10646 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10647 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10648 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10649 vectors if you have them.
10652 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10653 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10656 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10657 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10658 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10659 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10661 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10662 it will update them.
10665 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10666 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10667 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10668 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10669 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10670 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10671 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10674 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10675 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10676 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10677 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10678 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10679 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10680 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10681 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10682 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10683 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10685 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10686 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10687 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10688 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10689 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10692 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10696 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10697 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10699 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10700 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10702 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10703 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10706 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10707 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10709 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10710 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10712 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10715 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10719 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10720 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10721 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10722 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10724 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10727 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10730 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10733 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10734 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10737 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10738 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10742 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10743 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10746 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10747 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10748 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10751 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10752 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10753 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10754 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10755 properly to be processed.
10758 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10759 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10760 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10763 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10764 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10766 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10767 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10768 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10769 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10770 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10771 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10772 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10773 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10774 or delete all the .err files.
10777 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10778 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10779 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10780 to regenerate it if needed.
10781 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10782 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10784 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10785 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10787 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10788 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10789 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10790 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10791 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10794 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10795 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10797 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10798 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10800 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10801 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10802 error, but didn't set one).
10803 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10805 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10808 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10809 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10812 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10813 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10815 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10816 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10817 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10818 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10819 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10820 OID is not part of the table.
10823 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10824 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10827 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10830 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10831 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10835 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10836 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10838 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10840 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10842 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10843 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10845 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10846 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10848 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10849 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10851 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10852 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10855 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10856 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10859 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10860 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10862 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10863 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10865 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10866 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10868 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10869 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10871 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10872 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10873 unused in the certificate verification process.
10874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10876 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10877 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10880 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10881 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10882 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10884 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10885 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10886 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10887 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10888 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10890 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10891 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10894 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10897 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10900 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10901 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10903 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10906 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10909 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10912 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10913 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10914 other error libraries.
10917 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10920 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10921 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10925 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10926 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10927 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10928 the new set of documenation files.
10929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10931 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10932 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10933 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10934 number of arguments.
10935 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10937 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10940 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10941 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10942 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10944 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10947 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10951 unixware-2.0-pentium
10955 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10956 before they are needed.
10959 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10963 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10965 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10966 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10969 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10972 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10973 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10974 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10976 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10977 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10978 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10980 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10981 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10982 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10984 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10985 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10987 *) Updated the README file.
10988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10990 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10991 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10992 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10994 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10995 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10996 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10998 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10999 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
11000 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
11001 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
11002 o removed obsolete TODO file
11003 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
11004 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11006 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
11007 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
11008 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

11011 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
11012 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11014 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
11017 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
11018 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
11019 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
11021 [The OpenSSL Project]
11024 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
11026 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
11029 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
11032 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
11033 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
11036 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
11037 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
11041 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
11043 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
11045 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
11048 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
11051 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
11054 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
11057 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
11060 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
11063 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
11066 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
11069 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
11072 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
11075 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
11078 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
11081 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
11084 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
11087 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
11090 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
11093 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
11096 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
11097 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
11098 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
11101 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
11102 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
11105 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
11108 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
11111 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
11112 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
11115 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
11118 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
11121 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
11122 bytes sent in the client random.
