4
5 Changes between 1.1.0e and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
6
7 *) x86_64 assembly pack: annotate code with DWARF CFI directives to
8 facilitate stack unwinding even from assembly subroutines.
9 [Andy Polyakov]
10
11 *) Remove VAX C specific definitions of OPENSSL_EXPORT, OPENSSL_EXTERN.
12 Also remove OPENSSL_GLOBAL entirely, as it became a no-op.
13 [Richard Levitte]
14
15 *) Remove the VMS-specific reimplementation of gmtime from crypto/o_times.c.
16 VMS C's RTL has a fully up to date gmtime() and gmtime_r() since V7.1,
17 which is the minimum version we support.
18 [Richard Levitte]
19
20 *) Certificate time validation (X509_cmp_time) enforces stricter
21 compliance with RFC 5280. Fractional seconds and timezone offsets
22 are no longer allowed.
23 [Emilia Käsper]
24
25 *) Add support for SipHash
26 [Todd Short]
27
28 *) OpenSSL now fails if it receives an unrecognised record type in TLS1.0
29 or TLS1.1. Previously this only happened in SSLv3 and TLS1.2. This is to
30 prevent issues where no progress is being made and the peer continually
31 sends unrecognised record types, using up resources processing them.
32 [Matt Caswell]
33
34 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
35 using the algorithm defined in
36 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
37 [Richard Levitte]
38
39 *) Heartbeat support has been removed; the ABI is changed for now.
40 [Richard Levitte, Rich Salz]
41
42 *) Support for SSL_OP_NO_ENCRYPT_THEN_MAC in SSL_CONF_cmd.
43 [Emilia Käsper]
44
45 Changes between 1.1.0d and 1.1.0e [16 Feb 2017]
46
47 *) Encrypt-Then-Mac renegotiation crash
48
49 During a renegotiation handshake if the Encrypt-Then-Mac extension is
50 negotiated where it was not in the original handshake (or vice-versa) then
51 this can cause OpenSSL to crash (dependant on ciphersuite). Both clients
52 and servers are affected.
53
54 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joe Orton (Red Hat).
55 (CVE-2017-3733)
56 [Matt Caswell]
57
58 Changes between 1.1.0c and 1.1.0d [26 Jan 2017]
59
60 *) Truncated packet could crash via OOB read
61
62 If one side of an SSL/TLS path is running on a 32-bit host and a specific
63 cipher is being used, then a truncated packet can cause that host to
64 perform an out-of-bounds read, usually resulting in a crash.
65
66 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki of Google.
67 (CVE-2017-3731)
68 [Andy Polyakov]
69
70 *) Bad (EC)DHE parameters cause a client crash
71
72 If a malicious server supplies bad parameters for a DHE or ECDHE key
73 exchange then this can result in the client attempting to dereference a
74 NULL pointer leading to a client crash. This could be exploited in a Denial
75 of Service attack.
76
77 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
78 (CVE-2017-3730)
79 [Matt Caswell]
80
81 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
82
83 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
84 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
85 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
86 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
87 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
88 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
89 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
90 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
91 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
92 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
93 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
94 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites. Note: This issue is very
95 similar to CVE-2015-3193 but must be treated as a separate problem.
96
97 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by the OSS-Fuzz project.
98 (CVE-2017-3732)
99 [Andy Polyakov]
100
101 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [10 Nov 2016]
102
103 *) ChaCha20/Poly1305 heap-buffer-overflow
104
105 TLS connections using *-CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphersuites are susceptible to
106 a DoS attack by corrupting larger payloads. This can result in an OpenSSL
107 crash. This issue is not considered to be exploitable beyond a DoS.
108
109 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki (Google Security Team)
110 (CVE-2016-7054)
111 [Richard Levitte]
112
113 *) CMS Null dereference
114
115 Applications parsing invalid CMS structures can crash with a NULL pointer
116 dereference. This is caused by a bug in the handling of the ASN.1 CHOICE
117 type in OpenSSL 1.1.0 which can result in a NULL value being passed to the
118 structure callback if an attempt is made to free certain invalid encodings.
119 Only CHOICE structures using a callback which do not handle NULL value are
120 affected.
121
122 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Tyler Nighswander of ForAllSecure.
123 (CVE-2016-7053)
124 [Stephen Henson]
125
126 *) Montgomery multiplication may produce incorrect results
127
128 There is a carry propagating bug in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery
129 multiplication procedure that handles input lengths divisible by, but
130 longer than 256 bits. Analysis suggests that attacks against RSA, DSA
131 and DH private keys are impossible. This is because the subroutine in
132 question is not used in operations with the private key itself and an input
133 of the attacker's direct choice. Otherwise the bug can manifest itself as
134 transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible
135 erroneous outcome of public-key operations with specially crafted input.
136 Among EC algorithms only Brainpool P-512 curves are affected and one
137 presumably can attack ECDH key negotiation. Impact was not analyzed in
138 detail, because pre-requisites for attack are considered unlikely. Namely
139 multiple clients have to choose the curve in question and the server has to
140 share the private key among them, neither of which is default behaviour.
141 Even then only clients that chose the curve will be affected.
142
143 This issue was publicly reported as transient failures and was not
144 initially recognized as a security issue. Thanks to Richard Morgan for
145 providing reproducible case.
146 (CVE-2016-7055)
147 [Andy Polyakov]
148
149 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
150 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
151 [Richard Levitte]
152
153 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
154
155 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
156
157 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
158 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
159 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
160 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
161 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
162 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
163
164 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
165
166 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
167 (CVE-2016-6309)
168 [Matt Caswell]
169
170 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
171
172 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
173
174 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
175 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
176 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
177 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
178 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
179 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
180 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
181
182 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
183 (CVE-2016-6304)
184 [Matt Caswell]
185
186 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
187
188 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
189 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
190 Denial Of Service attack.
191
192 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
193 (CVE-2016-6305)
194 [Matt Caswell]
195
196 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
197 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
198
199 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
200 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
201 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
202 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
203 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
204 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
205 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
206 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
207 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
208 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
209 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
210 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
211 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
212 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
213 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
214
215 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
216 that the connection fails
217 or
218 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
219 very little free memory
220 or
221 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
222 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
223 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
224 memory to service the multiple requests.
225
226 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
227 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
228 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
229 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
230 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
231
232 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
233 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
234 [Matt Caswell]
235
236 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
237 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
238 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
239 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
240 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
241 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
242 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
243 [Andy Polyakov]
244
245 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
246
247 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
248 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
249 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
250 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
251 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
252 non-ASCII password.
253 [Andy Polyakov]
254
255 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
256 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
257 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
258 [Rich Salz]
259
260 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
261 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
262 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
263 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
264 [Matt Caswell]
265
266 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
267 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
268 success.
269 [Matt Caswell]
270
271 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
272 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
273 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
274 no-ops and deprecated.
275 [Matt Caswell]
276
277 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
278 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
279 were also closed.
280 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
281
282 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
283 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
284 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
285 [Rich Salz]
286
287 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
288 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
289 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
290 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
291 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
292 and the validity of object reference counter.
293 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
294
295 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
296 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
297 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
298 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
299 [Richard Levitte]
300
301 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
302 [Richard Levitte]
303
304 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
305 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
306 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
307 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
308
309 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
310
311 [Richard Levitte]
312
313 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
314 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
315 [Steve Henson]
316
317 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
318 [Andy Polyakov]
319
320 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
321 [Rich Salz]
322
323 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
324 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
325 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
326 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
327 name and is used as is.
328 [Richard Levitte]
329
330 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
331 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
332 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
333 [Rich Salz]
334
335 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
336 the "no-shared" Configure option.
337 [Matt Caswell]
338
339 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
340 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
341 algorithms.
342 [Matt Caswell]
343
344 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
345 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
346 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
347 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
348 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
349 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
350 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
351 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
352 COMP_zlib_cleanup().
353 [Matt Caswell]
354
355 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
356 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
357 enabled with '--debug' builds.
358 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
359
360 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
361 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
362 these have been added.
363 [Matt Caswell]
364
365 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
366 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
367 functions for managing these have been added.
368 [Richard Levitte]
369
370 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
371 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
372 these have been added.
373 [Matt Caswell]
374
375 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
376 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
377 have been added.
378 [Matt Caswell]
379
380 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
381 [Matt Caswell]
382
383 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
384 [Richard Levitte]
385
386 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
387 it is always safe to #include a header now.
388 [Rich Salz]
389
390 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
391 [Richard Levitte]
392
393 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
394 [Rich Salz]
395
396 *) Add support for HKDF.
397 [Alessandro Ghedini]
398
399 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
400 [Bill Cox]
401
402 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
403 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
404 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
405 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
406 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
407 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
408 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
409 [Matt Caswell]
410
411 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
412 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
413 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
414 [Catriona Lucey]
415
416 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
417 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
418 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
419 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
420 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
421 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
422 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
423
424 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
425 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
426 [Todd Short]
427
428 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
429 [Todd Short]
430
431 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
432 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
433 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
434 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
435 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
436 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
437 default cipherlist.
438 [Emilia Käsper]
439
440 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
441 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
442 [Rich Salz]
443
444 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
445 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
446 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
447 [Matt Caswell]
448
449 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
450 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
451 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
452 implemented by other servers.
453 [Emilia Käsper]
454
455 *) Add X25519 support.
456 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
457 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
458 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
459 key generation and key derivation.
460
461 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
462 X25519(29).
463 [Steve Henson]
464
465 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
466 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
467 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
468 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
469 seed, even if the seed is configured.
470
471 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
472 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
473 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
474 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
475 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
476 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
477 that of a valid user.
478 [Emilia Käsper]
479
480 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
481 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
482 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
483 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
484
485 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
486 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
487
488 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
489 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
490 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
491 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
492
493 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
494 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
495 irrelevant.
496 [Richard Levitte]
497
498 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
499 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
500 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
501 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
502 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
503 of how OpenSSL was configured.
504
505 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
506 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
507 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
508 [Richard Levitte]
509
510 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
511 [Rich Salz]
512
513 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
514 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
515 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
516 removed.
517 [Richard Levitte]
518
519 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
520 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
521 old #define's might need to be updated.
522 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
523
524 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
525 [Rich Salz]
526
527 *) New "unified" build system
528
529 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
530 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
531
532 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
533 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
534 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
535
536 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
537 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
538 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
539 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
540 descrip.mms.tmpl.
541
542 With this change, the library names were also renamed on Windows
543 and on VMS. They now have names that are closer to the standard
544 on Unix, and include the major version number, and in certain
545 cases, the architecture they are built for. See "Notes on shared
546 libraries" in INSTALL.
547
548 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
549 [Richard Levitte]
550
551 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
552 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
553 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
554 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
555 [Matt Caswell]
556
557 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
558 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
559
560 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
561 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
562 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
563 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
564 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
565 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
566 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
567 have been adapted accordingly.
568 [Richard Levitte]
569
570 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
571 the leading 0-byte.
572 [Emilia Käsper]
573
574 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
575 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
576 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
577 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
578 [Emilia Käsper]
579
580 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
581 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
582 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
583 'unsigned char*'.
584 [Emilia Käsper]
585
586 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
587 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
588 [Emilia Käsper]
589
590 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
591 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
592 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
593 BF_PTR, BF_PTR2
594 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
595 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
596 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
597
598 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
599 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
600
601 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
602 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
603 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
604 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
605 Text::Template.
606
607 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
608 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
609 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
610 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
611 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
612 %target).
613 [Richard Levitte]
614
615 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
616 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
617 straightforward and less interdependent.
618
619 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
620 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
621 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
622
623 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
624 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
625 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
626 installed.
627 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
628 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
629 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
630 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
631
632 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
633 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
634 [Richard Levitte]
635
636 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
637 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
638 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
639 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
640 is present).
641 [Matt Caswell]
642
643 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
644 configuring.
645 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
646
647 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
648 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
649 before trying to build now.*
650 [Rich Salz]
651
652 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
653 has changed.
654 [Rich Salz]
655
656 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
657
658 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
659 the application's responsibility. The application provides
660 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
661 used to authenticate the peer.
662
663 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
664 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
665 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
666 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
667 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
668 [Viktor Dukhovni]
669
670 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
671 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
672 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
673 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
674 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
675 or the 1.1.0 releases.
676
677 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
678 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
679 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
680 support for the deprecated features from the library and
681 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
682 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
683 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
684 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
685 version.
686
687 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
688 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
689 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
690 compile with later releases.
691
692 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
693 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
694 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
695 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
696 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
697 [Viktor Dukhovni]
698
699 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
700 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
701 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
702 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
703 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
704 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
705 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
706 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
707 [Kurt Roeckx]
708
709 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
710 [Andy Polyakov]
711
712 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
713 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
714 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
715 ECDSA_SIG format.
716
717 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
718 include the ec.h header file instead.
719 [Steve Henson]
720
721 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
722 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
723 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
724 [Kurt Roeckx]
725
726 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
727 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
728 were added:
729
730 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
731 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
732
733 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
734 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
735 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
736
737 Additional changes:
738 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
739 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
740 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
741 an already created structure.
742 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
743 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
744 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
745 for deprecated builds.
746 [Richard Levitte]
747
748 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
749 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
750 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
751 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
752 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
753 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
754 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
755 [Matt Caswell]
756
757 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
758 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
759 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
760 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
761 [Kurt Roeckx]
762
763 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
764 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
765 [Kurt Roeckx]
766
767 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
768 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
769 [Kurt Roeckx]
770
771 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
772 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
773 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
774 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
775 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
776 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
777 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
778 also been removed.
779 [Matt Caswell]
780
781 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
782 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
783 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
784 [Rich Salz]
785
786 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
787 [Rich Salz]
788
789 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
790 sureware and ubsec.
791 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
792
793 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
794
795 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
796 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
797
798 FOO *x;
799
800 it must be:
801
802 FOO x;
803
804 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
805 set a mandatory field to NULL.
806
807 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
808 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
809 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
810 SEQUENCE OF.
811 [Steve Henson]
812
813 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
814 [Emilia Käsper]
815
816 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
817 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
818 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
819 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
820 [Matt Caswell]
821
822 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
823 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
824 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
825 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
826 [Emilia Käsper]
827
828 *) Fix no-stdio build.
829 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
830 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
831
832 *) New testing framework
833 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
834 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
835 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
836 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
837 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
838 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
839
840 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
841
842 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
843 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
844
845 [Richard Levitte]
846
847 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
848 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
849 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
850 and others were changed. All are now documented.
851 [Rich Salz]
852
853 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
854 return an error
855 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
856
857 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
858 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
859
860 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
861 original RSA_PSK patch.
862 [Steve Henson]
863
864 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
865 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
866 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
867 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
868 [Matt Caswell]
869
870 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
871 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
872 [Richard Levitte]
873
874 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
875 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
876 hasn't been working properly for a while.
877 [Emilia Käsper]
878
879 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
880 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
881 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
882 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
883 transferred.
884 [Matt Caswell]
885
886 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
887 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
888 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
889 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
890 [Matt Caswell]
891
892 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
893 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
894 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
895 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
896 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
897 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
898 [Matt Caswell]
899
900 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
901 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
902 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
903 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
904 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
905 header file has been removed.
906 [Matt Caswell]
907
908 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
909 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
910 [Matt Caswell]
911
912 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
913 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
914 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
915
916 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
917 Added a test.
918 [Rich Salz]
919
920 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
921 [Rich Salz]
922
923 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
924 sha256
925 [Rich Salz]
926
927 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
928 [Matt Caswell]
929
930 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
931 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
932 initial patch which was a great help during development.
933 [Steve Henson]
934
935 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
936 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
937 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
938 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
939 [Matt Caswell]
940
941 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
942 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
943 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
944 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
945 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
946 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
947 [Matt Caswell]
948
949 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
950 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
951 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
952 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
953 [Matt Caswell]
954
955 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
956 compatible client hello.
957 [Kurt Roeckx]
958
959 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
960 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
961 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
962
963 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
964 [Rich Salz]
965
966 *) Removed old DES API.
967 [Rich Salz]
968
969 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
970 Sony NEWS4
971 BEOS and BEOS_R5
972 NeXT
973 SUNOS
974 MPE/iX
975 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
976 DGUX
977 NCR
978 Tandem
979 Cray
980 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
981 [Rich Salz]
982
983 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
984 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
985 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
986 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
987 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
988 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
989 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
990 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
991 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
992 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
993 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
994 [Rich Salz]
995
996 *) Cleaned up dead code
997 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
998 [Rich Salz]
999
1000 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
1001 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
1002 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
1003 [Rich Salz]
1004
1005 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
1006 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
1007 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
1008 [Rich Salz]
1009
1010 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
1011 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
1012 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
1013
1014 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
1015 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
1016 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
1017
1018 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1019 compilation flags.
1020 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1021
1022 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1023 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
1024 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1025
1026 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1027 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1028
1029 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1030 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1031 server.
1032
1033 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1034 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1035 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1036 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1037
1038 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1039 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1040 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1041 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1042
1043 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1044 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1045 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1046
1047 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1048 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1049 [Steve Henson]
1050
1051 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
1052
1053 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
1054 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
1055
1056 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
1057 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
1058
1059 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
1060 effect.
1061
1062 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
1063
1064 [Steve Henson]
1065
1066 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1067 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1068 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1069 algorithms and include tests cases.
1070 [Steve Henson]
1071
1072 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
1073 enveloped data.
1074 [Steve Henson]
1075
1076 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1077 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1078 [Steve Henson]
1079
1080 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1081 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1082
1083 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
1084 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
1085 [Steve Henson]
1086
1087 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
1088 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
1089 failures.
1090 [Steve Henson]
1091
1092 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
1093 sign or verify all in one operation.
1094 [Steve Henson]
1095
1096 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
1097 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
1098 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
1099 [Steve Henson]
1100
1101 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
1102 [Steve Henson]
1103
1104 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
1105 [Steve Henson]
1106
1107 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
1108 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
1109 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
1110 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
1111 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
1112 [Steve Henson]
1113
1114 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
1115 based on NID.
1116 [Steve Henson]
1117
1118 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
1119 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
1120 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
1121 [Steve Henson]
1122
1123 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
1124 FIPS 186-3 A.2.3.
1125
1126 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
1127 POST to handle HMAC cases.
1128 [Steve Henson]
1129
1130 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
1131 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
1132 [Steve Henson]
1133
1134 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
1135 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
1136 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1137 [Steve Henson]
1138
1139 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1140 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1141 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1142 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1143 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1144 requested amount of entropy.
1145 [Steve Henson]
1146
1147 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1148 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1149 [Steve Henson]
1150
1151 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1152 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1153 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1154 support.
1155 [Steve Henson]
1156
1157 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1158 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1159 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1160 [Steve Henson]
1161
1162 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1163 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1164 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1165 will never use XTS mode.
1166 [Steve Henson]
1167
1168 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1169 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1170 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1171 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1172 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1173 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1174 [Steve Henson]
1175
1176 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1177 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1178 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1179 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1180 [Steve Henson]
1181
1182 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1183 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1184 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1185 [Steve Henson]
1186
1187 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1188 [Steve Henson]
1189
1190 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1191 [Steve Henson]
1192
1193 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1194 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1195 [Steve Henson]
1196
1197 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1198 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1199 [Steve Henson]
1200
1201 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1202 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1203 [Steve Henson]
1204
1205 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1206 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1207 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1208 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1209 and rename any affected symbols.
1210 [Steve Henson]
1211
1212 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1213 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1214 [Steve Henson]
1215
1216 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1217 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1218 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1219 [Steve Henson]
1220
1221 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1222 [Steve Henson]
1223
1224 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1225 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1226 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1227 [Steve Henson]
1228
1229 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1230 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1231 [Steve Henson]
1232
1233 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1234 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1235 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1236 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1237 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1238 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1239 set before the key.
1240 [Steve Henson]
1241
1242 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1243 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1244 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1245 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1246 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1247 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1248 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1249 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1250 [Steve Henson]
1251
1252 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1253 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1254 [Steve Henson]
1255
1256 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1257
1258 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1259 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1260
1261 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1262 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1263 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1264 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1265 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1266 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1267
1268 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1269 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1270 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1271 security.
1272 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1273
1274 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1275 parameters by name.
1276 [Steve Henson]
1277
1278 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1279 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1280 [Steve Henson]
1281
1282 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1283 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1284 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1285 [Steve Henson]
1286
1287 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1288 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1289 multi-process servers.
1290 [Steve Henson]
1291
1292 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1293 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1294 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1295 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1296 RAND_METHOD structure.
1297 [Steve Henson]
1298
1299 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1300 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1301 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1302 whose return value is often ignored.
1303 [Steve Henson]
1304
1305 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1306 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1307 validated when establishing a connection.
1308 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1309
1310 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1311
1312 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1313
1314 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1315 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1316 AES-NI.
1317
1318 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1319 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1320 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1321 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1322 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1323 bytes.
1324
1325 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1326 (CVE-2016-2107)
1327 [Kurt Roeckx]
1328
1329 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1330
1331 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1332 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1333 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1334 corruption.
1335
1336 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1337 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1338 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1339 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1340 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1341 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1342
1343 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1344 (CVE-2016-2105)
1345 [Matt Caswell]
1346
1347 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1348
1349 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1350 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1351 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1352 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1353 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1354 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1355 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1356 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1357 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1358 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1359 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1360 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1361 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1362 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1363 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1364 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1365
1366 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1367 (CVE-2016-2106)
1368 [Matt Caswell]
1369
1370 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1371
1372 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1373 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1374 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1375
1376 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1377 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1378 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1379 applications are not affected.
1380
1381 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1382 (CVE-2016-2109)
1383 [Stephen Henson]
1384
1385 *) EBCDIC overread
1386
1387 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1388 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1389 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1390
1391 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1392 (CVE-2016-2176)
1393 [Matt Caswell]
1394
1395 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1396 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1397 [Todd Short]
1398
1399 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1400 default.
1401 [Kurt Roeckx]
1402
1403 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1404 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1405 [Kurt Roeckx]
1406
1407 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1408
1409 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1410 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1411 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1412 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1413
1414 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1415 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1416 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1417 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1418 will need to explicitly call either of:
1419
1420 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1421 or
1422 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1423
1424 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1425 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1426 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1427 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1428 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1429 (CVE-2016-0800)
1430 [Viktor Dukhovni]
1431
1432 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1433
1434 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1435 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1436 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1437 considered rare.
1438
1439 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1440 libFuzzer.
1441 (CVE-2016-0705)
1442 [Stephen Henson]
1443
1444 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1445
1446 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1447
1448 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1449 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1450 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1451 is configured.
1452
1453 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1454 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1455 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1456 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1457 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1458 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1459 that of a valid user.
1460 (CVE-2016-0798)
1461 [Emilia Käsper]
1462
1463 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1464
1465 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1466 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1467 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1468 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1469 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1470 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1471 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1472 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1473 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1474 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1475 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1476
1477 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1478 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1479 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1480 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1481 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1482
1483 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1484 (CVE-2016-0797)
1485 [Matt Caswell]
1486
1487 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1488
1489 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1490 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1491 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1492
1493 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1494 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1495 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1496 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1497 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1498 also occur.
1499
1500 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1501 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1502 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1503 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1504 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1505 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1506 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1507 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1508 as command line arguments.
1509
1510 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1511 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to

1515 (CVE-2016-0799)
1516 [Matt Caswell]
1517
1518 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1519
1520 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1521 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1522 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1523 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1524 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1525
1526 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1527 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1528 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1529 http://cachebleed.info.

1531 [Andy Polyakov]
1532
1533 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1534 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1535 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1536 apps to use 2048 bits by default.

1538
1539 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1540 *) DH small subgroups
1541
1542 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1543 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1544 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1545 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1546 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1547 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1548 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1549 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1550 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1551 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1552
1553 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1554 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1555 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1556 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1557 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1558
1559 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1560 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1561 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1562 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1563
1564 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1565 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1566
1567 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1568 (CVE-2016-0701)
1569 [Matt Caswell]
1570
1571 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1572
1573 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1574 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1575 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1576 SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.
1577
1578 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram

1583 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1584
1585 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1586
1587 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1588 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1589 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1590 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1591 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1592 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1593 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1594 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1595 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1596 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1597 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1598 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.

1601 (CVE-2015-3193)
1602 [Andy Polyakov]
1603
1604 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1605
1606 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1607 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1608 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1609 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1610 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1611 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1612 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1613 authentication.
1614
1615 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1616 (CVE-2015-3194)
1617 [Stephen Henson]
1618
1619 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1620
1621 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1622 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1623 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1624 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1625
1626 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1627 libFuzzer.
1628 (CVE-2015-3195)
1629 [Stephen Henson]
1630
1631 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1632 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1633 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1634 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.

1641 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1642
1643 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1644
1645 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1646 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1647 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1648 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1649 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1650 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1651
1652 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1653 (Google/BoringSSL).

1655
1656 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1657
1658 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1659 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1660 restored.

1662
1663 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1664
1665 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1666
1667 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1668 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1669 field.
1670
1671 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1672 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1673 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1674 client authentication enabled.
1675
1676 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1677 (CVE-2015-1788)
1678 [Andy Polyakov]
1679
1680 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1681
1682 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1683 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1684 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1685 time string.
1686
1687 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1688 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1689 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1690 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1691 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1692 callbacks.
1693
1694 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1695 independently by Hanno Böck.
1696 (CVE-2015-1789)
1697 [Emilia Käsper]
1698
1699 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1700
1701 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1702 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1703 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1704
1705 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1706 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1707 servers are not affected.
1708
1709 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1710 (CVE-2015-1790)
1711 [Emilia Käsper]
1712
1713 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1714
1715 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1716 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1717 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1718 the CMS code.
1719 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.

1722
1723 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1724
1725 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1726 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1727 a double free of the ticket data.

1737
1738 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1739
1740 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1741 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1742 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1743
1744 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1745 University.
1746 (CVE-2015-0291)
1747 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1748
1749 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1750
1751 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1752 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1753 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1754 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1755 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1756 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1757 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1758 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1759
1760 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1761 (CVE-2015-0290)
1762 [Matt Caswell]
1763
1764 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1765
1766 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1767 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1768 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1769 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1770 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1771 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1772 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1773 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1774 server.
1775
1776 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1777 (CVE-2015-0207)
1778 [Matt Caswell]
1779
1780 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1781
1782 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1783 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1784 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1785 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1786 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1787 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1788 (CVE-2015-0286)
1789 [Stephen Henson]
1790
1791 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1792
1793 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1794 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1795 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1796 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1797 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1798 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1799 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.

1801 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1802 (CVE-2015-0208)
1803 [Stephen Henson]
1804
1805 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1806
1807 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1808 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1809 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1810
1811 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1812 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1813 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1814 not affected.
1815 (CVE-2015-0287)
1816 [Stephen Henson]
1817
1818 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1819
1820 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1821 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1822 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1823
1824 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1825 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1826 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1827
1828 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1829 (CVE-2015-0289)
1830 [Emilia Käsper]
1831
1832 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1833
1834 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1835 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1836 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1837
1838 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1839 (OpenSSL development team).
1840 (CVE-2015-0293)
1841 [Emilia Käsper]
1842
1843 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1844
1845 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1846 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1847 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1848 (CVE-2015-1787)
1849 [Matt Caswell]
1850
1851 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1852
1853 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1854 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1855 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1856 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1857 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1858 SSL_client_methodv23)
1859 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1860 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1861
1862 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1863 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1864 output may be predictable.
1865
1866 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1867 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1868
1869 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1870 (CVE-2015-0285)
1871 [Matt Caswell]
1872
1873 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1874
1875 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1876 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1877 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1878 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1879 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1880 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1881
1882 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1883 commit 517073cd4b.

1886
1887 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1888
1889 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1890 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.

1898
1899 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1900
1901 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1902 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1903 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1904 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1905 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1906 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1907 [Andy Polyakov]
1908
1909 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1910 (other platforms pending).

1913 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1914 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1915 [Rob Stradling]
1916
1917 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1918 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1919 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1920 [Bodo Moeller]
1921
1922 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1923 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1924 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1925 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1926 [Andy Polyakov]
1927
1928 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1929 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1930
1931 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1932 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1933 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1934 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1935 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1936
1937 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1938 [Andy Polyakov]
1939
1940 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1941 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1942 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1943 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1944
1945 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1946 RSAZ.
1947 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1948
1949 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1950 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1951 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1952 for TLS encrypt.
1953
1954 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1955 [Andy Polyakov]
1956
1957 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1958 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1959 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1960 [Steve Henson]
1961
1962 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1963 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1964 [Steve Henson]
1965
1966 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1967 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1968 [Steve Henson]
1969
1970 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1971 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1972 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1973 algorithms and include tests cases.
1974 [Steve Henson]
1975
1976 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1977 structure.
1978 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1979
1980 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1981 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1982 [Steve Henson]
1983
1984 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1985 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1986 summary of the connection parameters.
1987 [Steve Henson]
1988
1989 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1990 of connection parameters.
1991 [Steve Henson]
1992
1993 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1994 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1995
1996 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1997 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1998 [Steve Henson]
1999
2000 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
2001 [Steve Henson]
2002
2003 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
2004 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
2005 [Steve Henson]
2006
2007 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
2008 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
2009 [Steve Henson]
2010
2011 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
2012 certificates.
2013 [Steve Henson]
2014
2015 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
2016 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
2017 CRLs using the OCSP API.
2018 [Steve Henson]
2019
2020 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
2021 [Steve Henson]
2022
2023 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
2024 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
2025 [Steve Henson]
2026
2027 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
2028 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
2029 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
2030 tracing.
2031 [Steve Henson]
2032
2033 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
2034 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
2035 [Steve Henson]
2036
2037 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
2038 OID NID.
2039 [Steve Henson]
2040
2041 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
2042 client to OpenSSL.
2043 [Steve Henson]
2044
2045 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
2046 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
2047 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
2048 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
2049 [Steve Henson]
2050
2051 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
2052 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
2053 [Steve Henson]
2054
2055 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
2056 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
2057 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
2058 comparison.
2059 [Steve Henson]
2060
2061 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
2062 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
2063 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
2064 use the certificate.
2065 [Steve Henson]
2066
2067 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
2068 [Steve Henson]
2069
2070 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
2071 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
2072 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
2073 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
2074 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
2075 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
2076 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
2077
2078 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
2079 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
2080
2081 [Steve Henson]
2082
2083 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
2084 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
2085 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
2086 [Steve Henson]
2087
2088 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
2089 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
2090 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
2091 supported signature algorithms.
2092 [Steve Henson]
2093
2094 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
2095 [Steve Henson]
2096
2097 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
2098 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
2099 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
2100 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
2101 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
2102 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
2103 certificate and specify the whole chain.
2104 [Steve Henson]
2105
2106 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
2107 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
2108 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
2109 to have similar checks in it.
2110
2111 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
2112 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
2113 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
2114 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
2115 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
2116 [Steve Henson]
2117
2118 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
2119 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
2120 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
2121 shared signature algorithms.
2122 [Steve Henson]
2123
2124 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
2125 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
2126 to support them.
2127 [Steve Henson]
2128
2129 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
2130 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
2131 it couldn't be removed.
2132 [Steve Henson]
2133
2134 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
2135 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
2136 [Steve Henson]
2137
2138 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2139 functions. Add manual page.
2140 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2141
2142 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2143 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2144 a certificate.
2145 [Steve Henson]
2146
2147 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2148 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2149
2150 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2151 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2152 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2153 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2154 utility) or reject.
2155 [Steve Henson]
2156
2157 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2158 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2159 [Steve Henson]
2160
2161 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2162 platform support for Linux and Android.
2163 [Andy Polyakov]
2164
2165 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2166 [Andy Polyakov]
2167
2168 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2169 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2170 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2171 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2172 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2173 [Steve Henson]
2174
2175 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2176 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2177 the new parameter format automatically.
2178 [Steve Henson]
2179
2180 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2181 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2182 [Steve Henson]
2183
2184 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2185 [Steve Henson]
2186
2187 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2188 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2189 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2190 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2191 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2192 [Steve Henson]
2193
2194 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2195 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2196 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2197 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2198 to set list of supported curves.
2199 [Steve Henson]
2200
2201 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2202 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2203 to print out received values.
2204 [Steve Henson]
2205
2206 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2207 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2208 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2209 [Steve Henson]
2210
2211 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2212 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2213 [Steve Henson]
2214
2215 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2216 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2217 [Steve Henson]
2218
2219 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2220 certificates.
2221 [Steve Henson]
2222
2223 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2224 the certificate.
2225 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2226 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2227 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2228
2229 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2230
2231 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2232 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2233
2234 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2235
2236 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2237 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2238 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2239 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2240 (CVE-2014-3571)
2241 [Steve Henson]
2242
2243 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2244 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2245 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2246 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2247 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2248 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2249 (CVE-2015-0206)
2250 [Matt Caswell]
2251
2252 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2253 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2254 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2255 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2256 (CVE-2014-3569)
2257 [Kurt Roeckx]
2258
2259 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2260 ECDH ciphersuites.
2261
2262 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2263 reporting this issue.
2264 (CVE-2014-3572)
2265 [Steve Henson]
2266
2267 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2268 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2269 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2270 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2271 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2272 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2273 (CVE-2015-0204)
2274 [Steve Henson]
2275
2276 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2277 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2278 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2279 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2280 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2281 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2282 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2283 this issue.
2284 (CVE-2015-0205)
2285 [Steve Henson]
2286
2287 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2288 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2289
2290 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2291 and can vary with the CTX.
2292 [Adam Langley]
2293
2294 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2295
2296 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2297 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2298 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2299 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2300 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2301
2302 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2303
2304 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2305 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2306
2307 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2308
2309 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2310 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2311 errors for some broken certificates.
2312
2313 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2314
2315 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2316
2317 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2318 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2319
2320 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2321 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2322 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2323 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2324
2325 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2326 of the OpenSSL core team.
2327
2328 (CVE-2014-8275)
2329 [Steve Henson]
2330
2331 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2332 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2333 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2334 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2335 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2336 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2337 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2338 the OpenSSL core team.
2339 (CVE-2014-3570)
2340 [Andy Polyakov]
2341
2342 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2343 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2344 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2345 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2346 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2347
2348 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2349 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2350 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2351 [Emilia Käsper]
2352
2353 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2354 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2355 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2356 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2357 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2358
2359 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2360 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2361 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2362 [Emilia Käsper]
2363
2364 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2365
2366 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2367
2368 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2369 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2370 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2371 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2372 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2373 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2374 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2375
2376 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2377 (CVE-2014-3513)
2378 [OpenSSL team]
2379
2380 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2381
2382 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2383 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2384 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2385 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2386 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2387 attack.
2388 (CVE-2014-3567)
2389 [Steve Henson]
2390
2391 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2392
2393 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2394 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2395 configured to send them.
2396 (CVE-2014-3568)
2397 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2398
2399 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2400 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2401 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2402 (CVE-2014-3566)
2403 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2404
2405 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2406
2407 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2408 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2409 DigestInfo structures.
2410
2411 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2412
2413 [Steve Henson]
2414
2415 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2416
2417 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2418 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2419 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2420
2421 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2422 Group for discovering this issue.
2423 (CVE-2014-3512)
2424 [Steve Henson]
2425
2426 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2427 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2428 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2429 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2430 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2431
2432 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2433 researching this issue.
2434 (CVE-2014-3511)
2435 [David Benjamin]
2436
2437 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2438 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2439 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2440 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2441
2442 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2443 issue.
2444 (CVE-2014-3510)
2445 [Emilia Käsper]
2446
2447 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2448 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2449 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2450 (CVE-2014-3507)
2451 [Adam Langley]
2452
2453 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2454 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2455 Denial of Service attack.
2456 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2457 (CVE-2014-3506)
2458 [Adam Langley]
2459
2460 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2461 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2462 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2463 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2464 this issue.
2465 (CVE-2014-3505)
2466 [Adam Langley]
2467
2468 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2469 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2470 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2471
2472 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2473 issue.
2474 (CVE-2014-3509)
2475 [Gabor Tyukasz]
2476
2477 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2478 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2479 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2480 Denial of Service attack.
2481
2482 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2483 discovering and researching this issue.
2484 (CVE-2014-5139)
2485 [Steve Henson]
2486
2487 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2488 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2489 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2490 output to the attacker.
2491
2492 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2493 (CVE-2014-3508)
2494 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2495
2496 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2497 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2498 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2499 [Bodo Moeller]
2500
2501 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2502
2503 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2504 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2505 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2506
2507 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2508 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2509 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2510
2511 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2512 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2513 in a DoS attack.
2514
2515 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2516 (CVE-2014-0221)
2517 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2518
2519 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2520 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2521 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2522 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2523
2524 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2525 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2526
2527 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2528 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2529
2530 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2531 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2532 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2533
2534 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2535 compilation flags.
2536 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2537
2538 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2539 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2540 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2541
2542 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2543 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2544
2545 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2546
2547 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2548 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2549 server.
2550
2551 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2552 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2553 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2554 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2555
2556 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2557 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2558 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2559 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2560
2561 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2562 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2563 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2564
2565 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2566
2567 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2568 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2569 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2570 is at least 512 bytes long.
2571
2572 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2573
2574 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2575
2576 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2577 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2578 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2579 (CVE-2013-4353)
2580
2581 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2582 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2583 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2584 [Steve Henson]
2585
2586 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2587 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2588 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2589 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2590 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2591 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2592 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2593
2594 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2595
2596 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2597 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2598 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2599
2600 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2601
2602 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2603
2604 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2605 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2606 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2607
2608 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2609 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2610 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2611 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2612 (CVE-2013-0169)
2613 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2614
2615 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2616 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2617 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2618 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2619 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2620 (CVE-2012-2686)
2621 [Adam Langley]
2622
2623 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2624 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2625 [Steve Henson]
2626
2627 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2628 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2629
2630 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2631 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2632 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2633 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2634 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2635
2636 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2637 [Steve Henson]
2638
2639 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2640 if renegotiating.
2641 [Steve Henson]
2642
2643 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2644
2645 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2646 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2647
2648 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2649 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2650 (CVE-2012-2333)
2651 [Steve Henson]
2652
2653 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2654 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2655 [Steve Henson]
2656
2657 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2658 approved.
2659 [Steve Henson]
2660
2661 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2662
2663 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2664 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2665 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2666 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2667 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2668 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2669 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2670 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2671 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2672 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2673 [Steve Henson]
2674
2675 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2676 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2677 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2678 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2679 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2680 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2681 client side.
2682 [Andy Polyakov]
2683
2684 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2685
2686 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2687 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2688 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2689
2690 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2691 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2692 (CVE-2012-2110)
2693 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2694
2695 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2696 [Adam Langley]
2697
2698 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2699 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2700
2701 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2702 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2703 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2704 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2705 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2706 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2707 Most broken servers should now work.
2708 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2709 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2710 [Steve Henson]
2711
2712 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2713 [Andy Polyakov]
2714
2715 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2716
2717 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2718 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2719 [Steve Henson]
2720
2721 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2722 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2723 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2724 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2725 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2726 [Steve Henson]
2727
2728 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2729 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2730 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2731 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2732 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2733 [Steve Henson]
2734
2735 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2736 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2737
2738 *) Add support for SCTP.
2739 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2740
2741 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2742 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2743
2744 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2745
2746 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2747 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2748 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2749 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2750 - s390x: z196 support;
2751 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2752
2753 [Andy Polyakov]
2754
2755 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2756 (removal of unnecessary code)
2757 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2758
2759 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2760 [Eric Rescorla]
2761
2762 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2763 [Eric Rescorla]
2764
2765 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2766 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2767 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2768 by Google.
2769 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2770
2771 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2772 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2773 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2774 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2775 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2776
2777 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2778 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2779 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2780
2781 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2782 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2783 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2784
2785 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2786 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2787 implementations).
2788 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2789
2790 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2791 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2792 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2793 [Steve Henson]
2794
2795 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2796 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2797 particular PSS.
2798 [Steve Henson]
2799
2800 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2801 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2802 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2803 [Steve Henson]
2804
2805 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2806 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2807 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2808 the appropriate parameters.
2809 [Steve Henson]
2810
2811 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2812 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2813 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2814 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2815 against a number of sample certificates.
2816 [Steve Henson]
2817
2818 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2819 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2820
2821 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2822 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2823
2824 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2825 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2826 parameters r, s.
2827 [Steve Henson]
2828
2829 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2830 RFC3211.
2831 [Steve Henson]
2832
2833 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2834 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2835 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2836 password based CMS).
2837 [Steve Henson]
2838
2839 *) Session-handling fixes:
2840 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2841 but also support Session Tickets.
2842 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2843 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2844 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2845 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2846 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2847 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2848
2849 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2850 [Bodo Moeller]
2851
2852 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2853
2854 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2855 [Andy Polyakov]
2856
2857 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2858 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2859 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2860 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2861 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2862 [Steve Henson]
2863
2864 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2865 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2866 [Steve Henson]
2867
2868 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2869 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2870 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2871 [Steve Henson]
2872
2873 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2874 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2875 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2876 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2877 [Steve Henson]
2878
2879 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2880 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2881 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2882 [Steve Henson]
2883
2884 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2885 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2886
2887 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2888 [Steve Henson]
2889
2890 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2891 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2892 [Steve Henson]
2893
2894 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2895 [Steve Henson]
2896
2897 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2898 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2899 [Steve Henson]
2900
2901 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2902 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2903 [Steve Henson]
2904
2905 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2906 [Steve Henson]
2907
2908 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2909 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2910 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2911 [Steve Henson]
2912
2913 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2914 [Steve Henson]
2915
2916 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2917 [Steve Henson]
2918
2919 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2920 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2921 [Steve Henson]
2922
2923 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2924 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2925 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2926 [Steve Henson]
2927
2928 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2929 [Steve Henson]
2930
2931 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2932 and enable MD5.
2933 [Steve Henson]
2934
2935 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2936 FIPS modules versions.
2937 [Steve Henson]
2938
2939 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2940 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2941 until after the certificate request message is received.
2942 [Steve Henson]
2943
2944 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2945 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2946 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2947 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2948 [Steve Henson]
2949
2950 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2951 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2952 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2953 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2954 [Steve Henson]
2955
2956 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2957 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2958 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2959 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2960 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2961 and version checking.
2962 [Steve Henson]
2963
2964 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2965 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2966 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2967 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2968 [Steve Henson]
2969
2970 *) Add SRP support.
2971 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2972
2973 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2974 [Steve Henson]
2975
2976 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2977 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2978 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2979
2980 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2981 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2982 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2983 [Steve Henson]
2984
2985 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2986 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2987
2988 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2989 a few changes are required:
2990
2991 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2992 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2993 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2994 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2995 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2996 [Steve Henson]
2997
2998 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2999
3000 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
3001 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
3002 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
3003 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
3004 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
3005 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
3006 an MMA defence is not necessary.
3007 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
3008 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
3009 [Steve Henson]
3010
3011 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
3012 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
3013 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
3014 [Steve Henson]
3015
3016 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
3017
3018 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
3019 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
3020 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
3021 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
3022 [Antonio Martin]
3023
3024 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
3025
3026 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
3027 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
3028 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
3029 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
3030 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
3031 paper describing this attack can be found at:
3032 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
3033 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
3034 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
3035 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
3036 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
3037 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
3038 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
3039
3040 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
3041 (CVE-2011-4576)
3042 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3043
3044 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
3045 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
3046 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
3047 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3048
3049 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
3050 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
3051
3052 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
3053 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
3054 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
3055 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3056
3057 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
3058 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
3059
3060 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
3061 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3062
3063 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
3064 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3065
3066 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
3067 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
3068 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3069
3070 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
3071 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
3072 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
3073
3074 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
3075 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
3076 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
3077 the last update always remained unused).
3078 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
3079
3080 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
3081 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
3082
3083 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
3084
3085 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
3086 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
3087 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
3088
3089 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
3090 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
3091 [Adam Langley (Google)]
3092
3093 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
3094 [Bodo Moeller]
3095
3096 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
3097 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
3098 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
3099 [Steve Henson]
3100
3101 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
3102 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
3103
3104 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
3105
3106 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
3107
3108 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
3109
3110 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
3111 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3112
3113 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
3114 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
3115 ambiguous.
3116 [Steve Henson]
3117
3118 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
3119
3120 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
3121 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
3122 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
3123 [Steve Henson]
3124
3125 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
3126 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
3127 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
3128 [Ben Laurie]
3129
3130 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
3131
3132 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
3133 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
3134 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
3135 [Steve Henson]
3136
3137 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3138 a DLL.
3139 [Steve Henson]
3140
3141 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3142
3143 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3144 (CVE-2010-1633)
3145 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3146
3147 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3148
3149 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3150 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3151 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3152 [Steve Henson]
3153
3154 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3155 [Steve Henson]
3156
3157 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3158 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3159 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3160
3161 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3162 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3163 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3164 [Steve Henson]
3165
3166 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3167 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3168 [Steve Henson]
3169
3170 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3171 some responders need this.
3172 [Steve Henson]
3173
3174 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3175 correctly.
3176 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3177
3178 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3179 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3180 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3181 [Steve Henson]
3182
3183 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3184 [Steve Henson]
3185
3186 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3187 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3188 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3189 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3190 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3191 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3192 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3193 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3194 [Steve Henson]
3195
3196 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3197 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3198 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3199 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3200
3201 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3202 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3203
3204 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3205 be used on C++.
3206 [Steve Henson]
3207
3208 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3209 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3210 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3211 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3212 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3213 attempting to work them out.
3214 [Steve Henson]
3215
3216 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3217 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3218 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3219 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3220 [Steve Henson]
3221
3222 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3223 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3224 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3225 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3226 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3227 [Steve Henson]
3228
3229 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3230 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3231 you can do:
3232
3233 openssl sha256 foo
3234
3235 as well as:
3236
3237 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3238
3239 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3240
3241 [Steve Henson]
3242
3243 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3244 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3245
3246 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3247 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3248
3249 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3250 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3251 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3252 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3253 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3254 [Steve Henson]
3255
3256 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3257 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3258 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3259 [Steve Henson]
3260
3261 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3262 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3263 [Steve Henson]
3264
3265 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3266 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3267
3268 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3269 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3270 [Steve Henson]
3271
3272 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3273 [Ben Laurie]
3274
3275 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3276 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3277 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3278 CONF_VALUE.
3279 [Ben Laurie]
3280
3281 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3282 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3283 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3284 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3285 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3286 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3287 [Steve Henson]
3288
3289 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3290 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3291
3292 This work was sponsored by Google.
3293 [Steve Henson]
3294
3295 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3296 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3297 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3298 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3299 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3300 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3301 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3302 default.
3303
3304 This work was sponsored by Google.
3305 [Steve Henson]
3306
3307 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3308
3309 This work was sponsored by Google.
3310 [Steve Henson]
3311
3312 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3313 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3314 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3315 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3316
3317 This work was sponsored by Google.
3318 [Steve Henson]
3319
3320 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3321 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3322 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3323 CRL functionality in future.
3324
3325 This work was sponsored by Google.
3326 [Steve Henson]
3327
3328 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3329
3330 This work was sponsored by Google.
3331 [Steve Henson]
3332
3333 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3334 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3335
3336 This work was sponsored by Google.
3337 [Steve Henson]
3338
3339 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3340 and URI types are currently supported.
3341
3342 This work was sponsored by Google.
3343 [Steve Henson]
3344
3345 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3346 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3347 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3348 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3349 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3350 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3351 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3352 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3353
3354 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3355 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3356 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3357
3358 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3359 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3360 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3361 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3362
3363 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3364 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3365 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3366 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3367 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3368 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3369 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3370 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3371 of &errno.)
3372 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3373
3374 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3375 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3376 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3377
3378 This work was sponsored by Google.
3379 [Steve Henson]
3380
3381 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3382 [Ben Laurie]
3383
3384 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3385 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3386 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3387 [Ben Laurie]
3388
3389 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3390 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3391 [Nick Mathewson]
3392
3393 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3394 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3395 [Ben Laurie]
3396
3397 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3398 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3399 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3400 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3401 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3402 content types and variants.
3403 [Steve Henson]
3404
3405 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3406 [Steve Henson]
3407
3408 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3409 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3410 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3411 files from the associated perl scripts.
3412 [Steve Henson]
3413
3414 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3415 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3416 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3417
3418 *) s390x assembler pack.
3419 [Andy Polyakov]
3420
3421 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3422 "family."
3423 [Andy Polyakov]
3424
3425 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3426 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3427 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3428 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3429 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3430 to use. For example, specify an option
3431
3432 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3433
3434 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3435 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3436 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3437 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3438 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3439 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3440
3441 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3442 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3443 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3444 return non-zero for success.
3445
3446 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3447 by using
3448
3449 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3450 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3451
3452 where
3453
3454 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3455 void *arg;
3456
3457 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3458 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3459 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3460 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3461 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3462 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3463 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3464 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3465 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3466
3467 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3468 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3469 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3470 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3471 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3472 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3473
3474 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3475 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3476 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3477 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3478 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3479 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.

3483 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3484 MAC.
3485
3486 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3487
3488 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3489 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3490 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3491 supported.
3492
3493 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3494 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3495 SSL_SESSION.
3496
3497 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3498 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3499 with no application modification.
3500
3501 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3502 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3503
3504 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3505 or server extensions to be examined.
3506
3507 This work was sponsored by Google.
3508 [Steve Henson]
3509
3510 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3511 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3512 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3513
3514 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3515 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3516 ciphersuite support.
3517 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3518
3519 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3520 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3521 to output in BER and PEM format.
3522 [Steve Henson]
3523
3524 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3525 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3526 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3527 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3528 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3529 [Steve Henson]
3530
3531 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3532 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3533 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3534 utility.
3535 [Steve Henson]
3536
3537 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3538 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3539 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3540 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3541 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3542 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3543 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3544 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3545 enabled again.
3546
3547 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3548 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3549 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3550 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3551
3552 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3553 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3554 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3555 the default order.
3556 [Bodo Moeller]
3557
3558 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3559 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3560 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3561 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3562 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3563 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3564 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3565 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3566 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3567
3568 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3569 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3570 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3571 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3572 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3573 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3574 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3575 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3576 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3577 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3578 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3579 kinds of kludges.
3580
3581 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3582 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3583 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3584
3585 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3586 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3587 "CAMELLIA256".
3588 [Bodo Moeller]
3589
3590 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3591 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3592 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3593 [Nils Larsch]
3594
3595 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3596 it yet and it is largely untested.
3597 [Steve Henson]
3598
3599 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3600 [Nils Larsch]
3601
3602 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3603 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3604 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3605 [Steve Henson]
3606
3607 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3608 [Andy Polyakov]
3609
3610 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3611 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3612 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3613 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3614 [Steve Henson]
3615
3616 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3617 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3618 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3619 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3620 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3621 [Steve Henson]
3622
3623 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3624 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3625 [Cryptocom]
3626
3627 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3628 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3629 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3630 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3631 [Steve Henson]
3632
3633 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3634 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3635 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3636 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3637 [Steve Henson]
3638
3639 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3640 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3641 [Steve Henson]
3642
3643 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3644 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3645 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3646 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3647 [Steve Henson]
3648
3649 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3650 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3651 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3652 [Steve Henson]
3653
3654 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3655 utility.
3656 [Steve Henson]
3657
3658 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3659 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3660 [Steve Henson]
3661
3662 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3663 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3664 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3665 if necessary.
3666 [Steve Henson]
3667
3668 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3669 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3670 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3671 [Steve Henson]
3672
3673 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3674 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3675 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3676 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3677 [Steve Henson]
3678
3679 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3680 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3681 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3682 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3683 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3684 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3685 [Douglas Stebila]
3686
3687 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3688 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3689 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3690 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3691 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3692
3693 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3694 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3695 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3696 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3697 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3698 protocol).
3699
3700 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3701 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3702 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3703 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3704
3705 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3706 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3707 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3708 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3709 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3710
3711 aECDH - ECDH cert
3712 aECDSA - ECDSA cert
3713 ECDSA - ECDSA cert
3714
3715 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3716 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3717
3718 [Bodo Moeller]
3719
3720 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3721 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3722 [Steve Henson]
3723
3724 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3725 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3726 [Steve Henson]
3727
3728 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3729 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3730 functional reference processing.
3731 [Steve Henson]
3732
3733 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3734 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3735 process.
3736 [Steve Henson]
3737
3738 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3739 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3740 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3741 [Steve Henson]
3742
3743 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3744 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3745 application to support multiple signers.
3746 [Steve Henson]
3747
3748 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3749 digest MAC.
3750 [Steve Henson]
3751
3752 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3753 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3754 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3755 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3756 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3757 [Steve Henson]
3758
3759 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3760 new API.
3761 [Steve Henson]
3762
3763 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3764 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3765 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3766 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3767 a no op.
3768 [Steve Henson]
3769
3770 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3771 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3772 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3773 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3774 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3775 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3776 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3777 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3778 [Steve Henson]
3779
3780 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3781 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3782 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3783 between digests and public key types.
3784 [Steve Henson]
3785
3786 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3787 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3788 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3789 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3790 [Steve Henson]
3791
3792 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3793 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3794 key ASN1 method.
3795 [Steve Henson]
3796
3797 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3798 [Steve Henson]
3799
3800 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3801 pkeyutl.
3802 [Steve Henson]
3803
3804 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3805 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3806 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3807 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3808 pkey, genpkey.
3809 [Steve Henson]
3810
3811 *) BeOS support.
3812 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3813
3814 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3815 manual pages.
3816 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3817
3818 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3819 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3820 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3821 functionality for RSA.
3822 [Steve Henson]
3823
3824 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3825 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3826 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3827 [Steve Henson]
3828
3829 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3830 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3831 [Steve Henson]
3832
3833 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3834 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3835 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3836 [Steve Henson]
3837
3838 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3839 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3840 [Douglas Stebila]
3841
3842 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3843 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3844 [Steve Henson]
3845
3846 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3847 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3848 type.
3849 [Steve Henson]
3850
3851 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3852 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3853 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3854 structure.
3855 [Steve Henson]
3856
3857 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3858 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3859 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3860 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3861 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3862 of public and private key structures.
3863 [Steve Henson]
3864
3865 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3866 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3867 [Douglas Stebila]
3868
3869 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3870 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3871 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3872
3873 New ciphersuites:
3874 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3875 PSK-AES256-CBC-SHA
3876
3877 New functions:
3878 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3879 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3880 SSL_get_psk_identity
3881 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3882
3883 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3884
3885 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3886 and response verification functionality.
3887 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3888
3889 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3890 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3891 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3892 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3893 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3894 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3895 server_name extension.
3896
3897 New functions (subject to change):
3898
3899 SSL_get_servername()
3900 SSL_get_servername_type()
3901 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
3902
3903 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3904
3905 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3906 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3907 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3908 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3909 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3910
3911 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3912
3913 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3914 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3915 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3916 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3917 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3918 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3919 option.
3920
3921 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3922
3923 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3924 [Andy Polyakov]
3925
3926 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3927 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3928 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3929 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3930 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3931 [Andy Polyakov]
3932
3933 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3934 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3935 macro.
3936 [Bodo Moeller]
3937
3938 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3939 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3940 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3941 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3942 [Andy Polyakov]
3943
3944 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3945 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3946 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3947 using the maximum available value.
3948 [Steve Henson]
3949
3950 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3951 in addition to the text details.
3952 [Bodo Moeller]
3953
3954 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3955 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3956 handle several customised structures at all.
3957 [Steve Henson]
3958
3959 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3960 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3961 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3962 [Steve Henson]
3963
3964 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3965 [Steve Henson]
3966
3967 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3968 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3969 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3970 [Steve Henson]
3971
3972 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3973 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3974 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3975 [Nils Larsch]
3976
3977 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3978 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3979 all fields.
3980 [Steve Henson]
3981
3982 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3983 [Steve Henson]
3984
3985 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3986 [NTT]
3987
3988 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3989
3990 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3991 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3992 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3993 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3994 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3995 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3996 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3997 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3998
3999 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
4000 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
4001 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
4002
4003 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
4004
4005 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
4006 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
4007
4008 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
4009 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
4010 [Bodo Moeller]
4011
4012 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
4013 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
4014 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
4015 [Steve Henson]
4016
4017 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
4018 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
4019 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
4020 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
4021 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
4022 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
4023 [Steve Henson]
4024
4025 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
4026 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
4027 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
4028 [Steve Henson]
4029
4030 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
4031 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
4032 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
4033 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
4034 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
4035 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
4036 CVE-2009-4355.
4037 [Steve Henson]
4038
4039 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
4040 change when encrypting or decrypting.
4041 [Bodo Moeller]
4042
4043 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
4044 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
4045 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
4046 [Steve Henson]
4047
4048 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
4049 [Steve Henson]
4050
4051 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
4052 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
4053 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
4054 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
4055 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
4056 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
4057 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
4058 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
4059 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
4060 [Steve Henson]
4061
4062 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
4063 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
4064 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
4065 [Steve Henson]
4066
4067 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
4068 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
4069 [Steve Henson]
4070
4071 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
4072 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
4073 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
4074 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
4075 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
4076 know what you are doing.
4077 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
4078
4079 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
4080 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
4081 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
4082 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
4083 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
4084 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
4085 the handshake.
4086 [Steve Henson]
4087
4088 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
4089 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
4090 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
4091 correctly.
4092 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
4093
4094 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
4095 warnings in other configurations.
4096 [Steve Henson]
4097
4098 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
4099 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
4100 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
4101 systems need.
4102 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
4103
4104 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
4105 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
4106 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
4107
4108 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
4109 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
4110 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
4111 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
4112 [Steve Henson]
4113
4114 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
4115 and restored.
4116 [Steve Henson]
4117
4118 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
4119 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
4120 clash.
4121 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
4122
4123 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
4124 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
4125 other than a simple chain.
4126 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
4127
4128 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
4129 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
4130 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
4131 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
4132 [Steve Henson]
4133
4134 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
4135 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
4136 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
4137 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
4138 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4139 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4140 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4141 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4142 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4143
4144 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4145 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4146 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4147 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4148 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4149 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4150 (CVE-2009-1377)
4151 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4152
4153 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4154 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4155 [Daniel Mentz]
4156
4157 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4158 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4159
4160 *) Add 2.5.4.* OIDs
4161 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4162
4163 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4164
4165 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4166 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4167 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4168 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4169 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4170 you're doing.
4171 [Ben Laurie]
4172
4173 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4174
4175 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4176 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4177 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4178 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4179
4180 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4181 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4182 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4183 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4184
4185 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4186 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4187 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4188 [Steve Henson]
4189
4190 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4191 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4192 level.
4193 [Steve Henson]
4194
4195 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4196 to handle some structures.
4197 [Steve Henson]
4198
4199 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4200 for a '\n'
4201 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4202
4203 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4204 [Matthieu Herrb]
4205
4206 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4207 [Steve Henson]
4208
4209 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4210 [Steve Henson]
4211
4212 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4213 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4214 chosen compiler.
4215 [Ben Laurie]
4216
4217 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4218
4219 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4220 (CVE-2008-5077).
4221 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4222
4223 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4224 [Ben Laurie]
4225
4226 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4227 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4228 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4229 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4230
4231 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4232 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4233
4234 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4235 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4236 [Bodo Moeller]
4237
4238 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4239 s_client and s_server.
4240 [Ben Laurie]
4241
4242 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4243 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4244
4245 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4246 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4247
4248 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4249 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4250 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4251 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4252 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4253 [Bodo Moeller]
4254
4255 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4256
4257 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4258 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4259 [PR #1679]
4260
4261 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4262 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4263 [Nagendra Modadugu]
4264
4265 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4266 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4267 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4268 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4269
4270 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4271 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4272
4273 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4274
4275 *) Various precautionary measures:
4276
4277 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4278
4279 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4280 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4281 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4282
4283 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4284 outside the expected range.
4285
4286 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4287 builds.
4288
4289 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4290
4291 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4292 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4293 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4294
4295 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4296 [Steve Henson]
4297
4298 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4299 [Huang Ying]
4300
4301 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4302
4303 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4304 [Steve Henson]
4305
4306 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4307 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4308 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4309
4310 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4311 [Steve Henson]
4312
4313 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4314 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4315 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4316 files.
4317 [Steve Henson]
4318
4319 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4320
4321 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4322 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4323 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4324 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4325
4326 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4327 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4328 [Joe Orton]
4329
4330 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4331
4332 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4333 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4334 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4335
4336 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4337
4338 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4339 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4340 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4341 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4342 [Lutz Jaenicke]
4343
4344 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4345 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4346 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4347 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4348 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4349 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4350 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4351
4352 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4353
4354 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4355 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4356 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4357 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4358 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4359
4360 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4361 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4362
4363 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4364 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4365 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4366 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4367 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4368
4369 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4370
4371 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4372 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4373 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4374 sets may exist with different names.
4375 [Steve Henson]
4376
4377 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4378 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4379 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4380 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4381 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4382 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4383 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4384 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4385 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4386 implementation.
4387 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4388
4389 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4390 implementation in the following ways:
4391
4392 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4393 hard coded.
4394
4395 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4396 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4397 ignored for embedded content.
4398
4399 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4400 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4401 [Steve Henson]
4402
4403 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4404 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4405 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4406 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4407
4408 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4409 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4410 [Steve Henson]
4411
4412 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4413 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4414 [Steve Henson]
4415
4416 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4417 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4418 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4419 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4420 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4421 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4422 data.
4423 [Steve Henson]
4424
4425 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4426 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4427 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4428
4429 *) Netware support:
4430
4431 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4432 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4433 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4434 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4435 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4436 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4437 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4438 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4439 platform
4440 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4441 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4442 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4443 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4444 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4445 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4446 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4447
4448 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4449 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4450 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4451 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4452 to s_client and s_server.
4453 [Steve Henson]
4454
4455 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4456
4457 *) Fix various bugs:
4458 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4459 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4460 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4461 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4462 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4463
4464 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4465
4466 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4467 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4468 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4469 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4470 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4471 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4472 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4473 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4474 [Andy Polyakov]
4475
4476 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4477 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4478 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4479 Steve Henson]
4480
4481 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4482 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4483 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4484 supported.
4485
4486 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4487 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4488 SSL_SESSION.
4489
4490 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4491 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4492 with no application modification.
4493
4494 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4495 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4496
4497 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4498 or server extensions to be examined.
4499
4500 This work was sponsored by Google.
4501 [Steve Henson]
4502
4503 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4504 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4505 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4506 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4507 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4508 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4509 server_name extension.
4510
4511 New functions (subject to change):
4512
4513 SSL_get_servername()
4514 SSL_get_servername_type()
4515 SSL_set_SSL_CTX()
4516
4517 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4518
4519 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4520 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4521 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4522 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4523 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4524
4525 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4526
4527 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4528 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4529 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4530 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4531 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4532 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4533 option.
4534
4535 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4536
4537 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4538 [Steve Henson]
4539
4540 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4541 [Andy Polyakov]
4542
4543 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4544 (which previously caused an internal error).
4545 [Bodo Moeller]
4546
4547 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4548 [Ben Laurie]
4549
4550 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4551 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4552
4553 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4554 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4555 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4556
4557 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4558 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4559 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4560 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4561
4562 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4563 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4564 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4565 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4566
4567 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4568 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4569 information. For detailed background information, see
4570 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4571 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4572 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4573 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4574 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4575 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4576 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4577 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4578 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4579 remove a conditional branch.
4580
4581 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4582 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4583 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4584 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4585 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4586 remains as a deprecated alias.
4587
4588 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4589 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4590 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4591 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4592
4593 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4594 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4595 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4596 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4597 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4598 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4599 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4600 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4601
4602 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4603
4604 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4605 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4606 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4607 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4608 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4609 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4610 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4611 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4612 in a different context.
4613 [Bodo Moeller]
4614
4615 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4616 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4617 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4618 [Bodo Moeller]
4619
4620 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4621 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4622 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4623
4624 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4625
4626 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4627 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4628 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4629 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4630 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4631 [Victor Duchovni]
4632
4633 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4634 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4635 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4636 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4637 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4638 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4639 [Bodo Moeller]
4640
4641 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4642 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4643 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4644 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4645 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4646 [Bodo Moeller]
4647
4648 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4649 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4650
4651 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4652 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4653 Improve header file function name parsing.
4654 [Steve Henson]
4655
4656 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4657 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4658 [Goetz Babin-Ebell]
4659
4660 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4661
4662 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4663 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4664 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4665
4666 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4667 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4668
4669 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4670 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4671
4672 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4673 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4674 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4675
4676 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4677 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4678 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4679 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4680 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4681 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4682 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4683 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4684 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4685
4686 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4687 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4688 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4689 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4690 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4691
4692 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4693 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4694 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4695 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4696 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4697 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4698 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4699 multiple values to extend the available space.
4700
4701 [Bodo Moeller]
4702
4703 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4704
4705 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4706 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4707
4708 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4709 [Ben Laurie]
4710
4711 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4712 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4713 undesirable limitations.
4714 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4715
4716 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4717 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4718 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4719 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4720 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4721 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4722 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4723 [Bodo Moeller]
4724
4725 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4726
4727 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4728 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4729 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4730
4731 The latter two were purportedly from
4732 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4733 appear there.
4734
4735 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4736 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4737 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4738 [Bodo Moeller]
4739
4740 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4741 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4742 [Bodo Moeller]
4743
4744 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4745 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4746 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4747 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4748
4749 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4750 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4751 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4752 [NTT]
4753
4754 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4755 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4756 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4757 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4758 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4759 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4760 [Steve Henson]
4761
4762 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4763
4764 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4765 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4766 [Steve Henson]
4767
4768 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4769 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4770
4771 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4772 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4773 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4774 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4775 [Douglas Stebila]
4776
4777 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4778 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4779 [Steve Henson]
4780
4781 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4782 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4783 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4784 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4785 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4786 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4787 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4788 can't be loaded.
4789 [Steve Henson]
4790
4791 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4792 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4793 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4794 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4795 [Steve Henson]
4796
4797 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4798 under VC++ build system.
4799 [Steve Henson]
4800
4801 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4802 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4803 [Richard Levitte]
4804
4805 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4806
4807 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4808 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4809 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4810 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4811 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4812
4813 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4814 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4815 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4816
4817 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4818 [Steve Henson]
4819
4820 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4821 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4822 [Nils Larsch]
4823
4824 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4825 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4826
4827 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4828 [Nick Mathewson]
4829
4830 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4831 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4832
4833 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4834 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4835 [Steve Henson]
4836
4837 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4838 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4839 smime utility.
4840 [Steve Henson]
4841
4842 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4843
4844 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4845 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
4846
4847 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4848 [Richard Levitte]
4849
4850 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4851 key into the same file any more.
4852 [Richard Levitte]
4853
4854 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4855 [Andy Polyakov]
4856
4857 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4858 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4859
4860 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4861 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4862 [Richard Levitte]
4863
4864 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4865 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4866 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4867 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4868 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4869 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4870
4871 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4872 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4873 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4874 [Steve Henson]
4875
4876 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4877 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4878 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4879 - add new function for parameter creation
4880 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4881 BN_BLINDING parameters
4882 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4883 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4884 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4885 threads.
4886 [Nils Larsch]
4887
4888 *) Add support for DTLS.
4889 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4890
4891 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4892 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4893 [Walter Goulet]
4894
4895 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4896 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4897 [Nils Larsch]
4898
4899 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4900 the apps/openssl applications.
4901 [Nils Larsch]
4902
4903 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4904 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4905 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4906 [Ben Laurie]
4907
4908 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4909 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4910
4911 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4912 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4913
4914 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4915 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4916 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4917 avoid this algorithm.)
4918
4919 [Bodo Moeller]
4920
4921 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4922 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4923 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4924 [Richard Levitte]
4925
4926 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4927 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4928 [Andy Polyakov]
4929
4930 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4931 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4932 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4933 pod file:
4934
4935 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4936
4937 The blank line is mandatory.
4938
4939 [Steve Henson]
4940
4941 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4942 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4943 sources.
4944 [Steve Henson]
4945
4946 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4947 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4948
4949 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4950 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4951 to support policy checking and print out.
4952 [Steve Henson]
4953
4954 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4955 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4956 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4957 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4958
4959 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4960 [Geoff Thorpe]
4961
4962 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4963 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4964
4965 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4966 implementation contributed by IBM.
4967 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4968
4969 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4970 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4971 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4972 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4973
4974 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4975 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4976
4977 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4978 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4979 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4980 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4981 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4982 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4983 [Steve Henson]
4984
4985 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4986 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4987 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4988 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4989 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4990 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4991 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4992 [Geoff Thorpe]
4993
4994 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4995 [Steve Henson]
4996
4997 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4998 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4999 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
5000 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
5001 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
5002 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
5003 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
5004 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
5005 [Steve Henson]
5006
5007 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
5008 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
5009 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
5010 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
5011 [Steve Henson]
5012
5013 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
5014 syntax:
5015
5016 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
5017 [Steve Henson]
5018
5019 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
5020 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
5021 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
5022 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
5023 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
5024 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
5025 BN_CTX's "bundling".
5026 [Geoff Thorpe]
5027
5028 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
5029 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
5030 [Geoff Thorpe]
5031
5032 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
5033 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
5034 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
5035 [Steve Henson]
5036
5037 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
5038 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
5039 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
5040 below).
5041 [Geoff Thorpe]
5042
5043 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
5044 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
5045 [Richard Levitte]
5046
5047 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
5048 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
5049 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
5050 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
5051 [Geoff Thorpe]
5052
5053 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
5054 initialised value as BN_new().
5055 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
5056
5057 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
5058 [Steve Henson]
5059
5060 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
5061 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
5062 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
5063 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
5064 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
5065 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
5066 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
5067 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
5068 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
5069 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
5070 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
5071 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
5072 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
5073 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
5074 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
5075
5076 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
5077 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
5078 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
5079 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
5080 [Geoff Thorpe]
5081
5082 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
5083 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
5084 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
5085 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
5086 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
5087 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
5088 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
5089 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
5090 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
5091 [Geoff Thorpe]
5092
5093 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
5094 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
5095 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
5096 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
5097 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
5098 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
5099 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
5100 [Geoff Thorpe]
5101
5102 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
5103 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
5104 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
5105 these have been updated also.
5106 [Geoff Thorpe]
5107
5108 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
5109 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
5110 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
5111 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
5112 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
5113 functions.
5114 [Steve Henson]
5115
5116 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
5117 structure of type "other".
5118 [Steve Henson]
5119
5120 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
5121 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
5122 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
5123 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
5124 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
5125 situation in the script.
5126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5127
5128 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
5129 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
5130 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
5131 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
5132 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
5133 used as premaster secret.
5134 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5135
5136 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
5137 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
5138 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5139
5140 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5141 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5142
5143 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5144 control of the error stack.
5145 [Richard Levitte]
5146
5147 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5148 [Richard Levitte]
5149
5150 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5151 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5152 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5153 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5154 [Richard Levitte]
5155
5156 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5157 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5158 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5159 [Richard Levitte]
5160
5161 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5162 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5163 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5164 a memory area.
5165 [Richard Levitte]
5166
5167 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5168 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5169 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5170 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5171 [Richard Levitte]
5172
5173 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5174 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5175 the following flags are defined:
5176
5177 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5178 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5179 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5180 number.
5181
5182 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5183 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5184 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5185 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5186 returns zero.
5187 [Richard Levitte]
5188
5189 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5190 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5191 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5192 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5193 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5194 [Richard Levitte]
5195
5196 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5197 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5198 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5199 [Richard Levitte]
5200
5201 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5202 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5203 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5204 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5205 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5206 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5207 [Richard Levitte]
5208
5209 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5210 req and dirName.
5211 [Steve Henson]
5212
5213 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5214 [Steve Henson]
5215
5216 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5217 [Steve Henson]
5218
5219 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5220 [Steve Henson]
5221
5222 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5223 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5224 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5225 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5226 default implementation more easily.
5227 [Geoff Thorpe]
5228
5229 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5230 in config files.
5231 [Steve Henson]
5232
5233 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5234 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5235 [Richard Levitte]
5236
5237 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5238 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5239 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5240 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5241
5242 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5243 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5244 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5245 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5246 [Steve Henson]
5247
5248 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5249 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5250 to do it.
5251 [Richard Levitte]
5252
5253 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5254 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5255 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5256 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5257 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5258 scalar * generator).
5259 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5260
5261 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5262 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5263 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5264 correctly.
5265 [Steve Henson]
5266
5267 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5268 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5269 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5270 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5271 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5272 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5273 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5274 linker additions, eg;
5275 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5276 [Geoff Thorpe]
5277
5278 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5279 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5280 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5281 [Geoff Thorpe]
5282
5283 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5284 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5285 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5286 via PR#459)
5287 [Lutz Jaenicke]
5288
5289 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5290 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5291 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5292 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5293 [Geoff Thorpe]
5294
5295 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5296 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5297 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5298 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5299 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5300 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5301 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5302 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5303 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5304 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5305
5306 Example for using the new callback interface:
5307
5308 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5309 void *my_arg = ...;
5310 BN_GENCB my_cb;
5311
5312 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5313
5314 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5315 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5316 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5317 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5318 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5319 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5320 */
5321
5322 [Geoff Thorpe]
5323
5324 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5325 available to TLS with the number defined in
5326 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5327 [Richard Levitte]
5328
5329 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5330 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5331
5332 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5333 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5334 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5335 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5336
5337 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5338 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5339
5340 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5341 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5342 well.
5343 [Richard Levitte]
5344
5345 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5346 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5347 [Richard Levitte]
5348
5349 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5350 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5351 and a macro that behave like
5352 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5353
5354 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5355 [Nils Larsch]
5356
5357 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5358 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5359 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5360 if applicable.
5361 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5362
5363 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5364 [Bodo Moeller]
5365
5366 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5367 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5368 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5369 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5370 directory engines/.
5371 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5372 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5373 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5374 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5375 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5376 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5377 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5378 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5379
5380 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5381 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5382 [Richard Levitte]
5383
5384 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5385 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5386
5387 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5388 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5389 files while avoiding the low level API.
5390
5391 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5392 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5393 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5394 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5395
5396 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5397 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5398 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5399 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5400 instead of the low level API.
5401 [Steve Henson]
5402
5403 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5404 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5405 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5406 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5407 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5408 PKCS#7 code.
5409
5410 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5411 down to the template encoder.
5412 [Steve Henson]
5413
5414 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5415 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5416 [Bodo Moeller]
5417
5418 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5419 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5420 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5421 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5422
5423 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5424 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5425
5426 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5427 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5428
5429 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5430 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5431 [Bodo Moeller]
5432
5433 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5434 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5435 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5436 [Bodo Moeller]
5437
5438 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5439 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5440
5441 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5442 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5443
5444 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5445 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5446 New EC_METHOD:
5447
5448 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5449
5450 New API functions:
5451
5452 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5453 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5454 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5455 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5456 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5457 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5458
5459 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5460 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5461 enable it).
5462
5463 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5464 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5465 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5466 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5467 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5468 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5469 various internal method names.)
5470
5471 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5472 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5473
5474 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5475 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5476
5477 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5478 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5479
5480 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5481 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5482 methods are undefined.
5483
5484 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5485 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5486
5487 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5488 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5489 length of the modulus.
5490
5491 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5492 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5493
5494 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5495 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5496
5497 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5498 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5499
5500 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5501 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5502 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5503
5504 BN_GF2m_add
5505 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5506 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5507 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5508 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5509 BN_GF2m_mod_inv
5510 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5511 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5512 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5513 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5514
5515 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5516 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5517
5518 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5519 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5520 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5521 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5522 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5523 where
5524 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5525 This applies to the following functions:
5526
5527 BN_GF2m_mod_arr
5528 BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr
5529 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr
5530 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5531 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5532 BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr
5533 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5534 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5535 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5536 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5537
5538 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5539
5540 BN_GF2m_poly2arr
5541 BN_GF2m_arr2poly
5542
5543 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5544
5545 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5546 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5547 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5548 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5549 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5550
5551 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5552 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5553
5554 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5555 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5556 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5557
5558 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5559 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5560
5561 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5562 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5563 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5564 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5565 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5566
5567 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5568 functions
5569 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5570 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5571 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5572 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5573 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5574 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5575 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5576 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5577 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5578 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5579 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5580 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5581
5582 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5583 functions
5584 EC_GROUP_set_seed()
5585 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5586 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5587 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5588 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5589
5590 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5591 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5592 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5593 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5594
5595 *) Add functions
5596 EC_POINT_point2bn()
5597 EC_POINT_bn2point()
5598 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5599 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5600 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5601 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5602 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5603
5604 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5605 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5606 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5607 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5608 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5609 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5610 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5611 adding different types of curves.
5612 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5613
5614 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5615 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5616 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5617 [Bodo Moeller]
5618
5619 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5620 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5621
5622 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5623 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5624 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5626
5627 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5628
5629 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5630 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5631
5632 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5633 library. Most notably,
5634 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5635 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5636 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5637 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5638 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5639 extracted before the specific public key;
5640 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5641 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5642
5643 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5644 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5645 function
5646 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5647 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5648 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5649 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5650 accessed via
5651 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5652 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5653 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5654
5655 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5656 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5657 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5658 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5659 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5660 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5661 differing sizes.
5662 [Richard Levitte]
5663
5664 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5665
5666 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5667 sensitive data.
5668 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5669
5670 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5671 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5672 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5673 [Bodo Moeller]
5674
5675 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5676 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5677 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5678 [Victor Duchovni]
5679
5680 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5681 [Steve Henson]
5682
5683 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5684 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5685 [Steve Henson]
5686
5687 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5688 run algorithm test programs.
5689 [Steve Henson]
5690
5691 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5692 [Steve Henson]
5693
5694 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5695 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5696 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5697 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5698 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5699 [Bodo Moeller]
5700
5701 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5702 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5703 [Steve Henson]
5704
5705 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5706
5707 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5708 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5709 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5710
5711 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5712 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5713
5714 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5715 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5716
5717 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5718 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5719 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5720
5721 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5722 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5723 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5724 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5725 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5726 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5727 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5728 [Bodo Moeller]
5729
5730 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5731
5732 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5733 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5734
5735 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5736 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5737 undesirable limitations.
5738 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5739
5740 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5741
5742 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5743 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5744 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5745
5746 The latter two were purportedly from
5747 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5748 appear there.
5749
5750 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5751 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5752 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5753 [Bodo Moeller]
5754
5755 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5756 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5757 [Bodo Moeller]
5758
5759 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5760
5761 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5762 module in FIPS mode.
5763 [Steve Henson]
5764
5765 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5766 [Steve Henson]
5767
5768 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5769 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5770 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5771 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5772 [Steve Henson]
5773
5774 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5775
5776 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5777 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5778 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5779 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5780 the difference induced by this change.
5781 [Andy Polyakov]
5782
5783 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5784
5785 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5786 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5787 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5788 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5789 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5790
5791 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5792 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5793 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5794
5795 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5796 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5797 [Steve Henson]
5798
5799 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5800 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5801 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5802 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5803 biased k.)
5804 [Bodo Moeller]
5805
5806 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5807 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5808 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5809 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5810 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5811
5812 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5813 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5814 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5815 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5816 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5817 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5818
5819 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5820
5821 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5822 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5823 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5824 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5825 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5826 [Bodo Moeller]
5827
5828 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5829 clients need.
5830 [Steve Henson]
5831
5832 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5833 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5834 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5835 [Steve Henson]
5836
5837 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5838 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5839 structures constant.
5840 [Steve Henson]
5841
5842 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5843
5844 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5845 OpenSSL 0.9.8.]
5846
5847 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5848 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5849 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5850 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5851 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5852 some needed definitions.
5853 [Steve Henson]
5854
5855 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5856 [Ulf Möller]
5857
5858 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5859 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5860 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5861 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5862 [Richard Levitte]
5863
5864 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5865
5866 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5867 server and client random values. Previously
5868 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5869 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5870
5871 This change has negligible security impact because:
5872
5873 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5874 data.
5875
5876 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5877 handshake.
5878
5879 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5880 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5881 values.
5882
5883 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5884 to our attention.
5885
5886 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5887
5888 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5889 [Ulf Möller]
5890
5891 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5892 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5893 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5894
5895 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5896 [Steve Henson]
5897
5898 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5899 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5900 [Andy Polyakov]
5901
5902 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5903 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5904 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5905
5906 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5907 [Steve Henson]
5908
5909 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5910 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5911 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5912 certificates.
5913 [Steve Henson]
5914
5915 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5916 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5917 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5918 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5919
5920 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5921 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5922 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5923 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5924 been given)
5925 [Richard Levitte]
5926
5927 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5928
5929 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5930 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5931 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5932 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5933 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5934 [Steve Henson]
5935
5936 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5937 [Steve Henson]
5938
5939 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5940 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5941
5942 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5943 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5944 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5945 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5946 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5947 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5948 rather than being initialized to 1.
5949 [Steve Henson]
5950
5951 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5952
5953 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5954 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5955 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5956
5957 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5958 (CVE-2004-0112)
5959 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5960
5961 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5962 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5963 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5964 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5965 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5966 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5967 [Richard Levitte]
5968
5969 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5970 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5971 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5972 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5973 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5974 for these cases.
5975 [Steve Henson]
5976
5977 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5978 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5979 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5980 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5981 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5982 [Steve Henson]
5983
5984 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5985 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5986 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5987 < 0.9.7.
5988 [Steve Henson]
5989
5990 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5991 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5992
5993 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5994 [Steve Henson]
5995
5996 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5997
5998 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5999
6000 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6001 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6002
6003 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
6004
6005 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6006 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6007
6008 [Steve Henson]
6009
6010 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
6011 exiting on the first error in a request.
6012 [Steve Henson]
6013
6014 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6015 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6016 specifications.
6017 [Steve Henson]
6018
6019 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6020 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6021 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6022 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6023
6024 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6025 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6026 [Richard Levitte]
6027
6028 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
6029 blocks during encryption.
6030 [Richard Levitte]
6031
6032 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
6033 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
6034 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
6035 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
6036 certain size.
6037 [Steve Henson]
6038
6039 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
6040 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
6041 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
6042 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
6043 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
6044 parser.
6045 [Steve Henson]
6046
6047 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
6048
6049 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6050 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6051 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6052 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6053 [Bodo Moeller]
6054
6055 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6056 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6057 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6058 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6059 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6060
6061 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6062 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6063 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6064 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6065 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6066 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6067 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6068 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6069 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6070 [Bodo Moeller]
6071
6072 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
6073 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
6074 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
6075 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
6076 [Geoff Thorpe]
6077
6078 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
6079 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
6080 [Ulf Moeller]
6081
6082 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
6083
6084 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6085 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
6086 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6087 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6088 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6089
6090 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6091 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6092 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6093
6094 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
6095 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
6096 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
6097 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
6098 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
6099
6100 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
6101 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
6102 used by default when no-err is given.
6103 [Richard Levitte]
6104
6105 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
6106 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
6107
6108 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
6109 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
6110 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
6111 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
6112 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
6113
6114 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
6115 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
6116 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
6117 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
6118
6119 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
6120
6121 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
6122
6123 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
6124
6125 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
6126 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
6127 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
6128 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
6129 root is omitted).
6130 [Steve Henson]
6131
6132 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
6133 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6134
6135 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
6136 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6137 [Steve Henson]
6138
6139 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6140 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6141 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6142 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6143 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6144
6145 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6146 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6147 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6148 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6149 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6150 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6151 followup to PR #377.
6152 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6153
6154 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6155 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6156 [Andy Polyakov]
6157
6158 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6159 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6160 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
6161 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
6162
6163 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
6164
6165 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
6166 OpenSSL 0.9.7.]
6167
6168 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
6169 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
6170 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
6171 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
6172 client and server.
6173 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6174 PR #377.
6175 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6176
6177 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
6178 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
6179 removed entirely.
6180 [Richard Levitte]
6181
6182 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6183 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6184 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6185 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6186 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6187 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6188 of libcrypto.
6189 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6190 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6191 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6192 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6193 have to be made anyway).
6194 [Richard Levitte]
6195
6196 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6197 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6198 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6199 [Steve Henson]
6200
6201 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6202 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6203 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6204 [Richard Levitte]
6205
6206 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6207 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
6208 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
6209
6210 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
6211 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
6212 edit numbers of the version.
6213 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6214
6215 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
6216 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
6217 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
6218
6219 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
6220 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6221
6222 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6223 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6224 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6225
6226 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
6227 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6228
6229 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
6230 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6231
6232 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
6233 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6234
6235 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
6236 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6237
6238 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
6239 overflows.
6240 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6241
6242 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
6243 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
6244 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6245
6246 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
6247 representations in a platform independent manner.
6248 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6249
6250 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
6251 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
6252 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6253
6254 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
6255 indents.
6256 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6257
6258 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
6259 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6260
6261 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
6262 full. Fixed.
6263 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6264
6265 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6266 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6268
6269 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6270 unconditionally).
6271 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6272
6273 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6274 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6275
6276 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6277 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6278
6279 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6281
6282 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6283 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6284
6285 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6286 CBCParameter.
6287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6288
6289 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6291
6292 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6294
6295 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6296 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6297 exploitable.
6298 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6299
6300 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6301 the 0.9.6 release series:
6302
6303 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6304 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6305 (CVE-2002-0657)
6306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6307
6308 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6309 [Richard Levitte]
6310
6311 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6312 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6313
6314 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6315 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6316
6317 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6318 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6319 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6320 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6321
6322 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6323 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6324 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6325
6326 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6327 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6328 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6329 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6330
6331 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6332 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6333 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6334 some local tweaks:
6335
6336 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6337 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6338 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6339 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6340 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6341 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6342 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6343 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6344 done
6345
6346 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6347 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6348 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6349 [Richard Levitte]
6350
6351 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6352 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6353 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6354 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6355 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6356
6357 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6358 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6359
6360 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6361 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6362 [Richard Levitte]
6363
6364 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6365 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6366 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6367 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6368 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6369 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6370 [Steve Henson]
6371
6372 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6373 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6374 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6375 [Steve Henson]
6376
6377 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6378 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6379 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6380
6381 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6382 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6383 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6384 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6385 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6386 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6387 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6388 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6389
6390 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6391 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6392 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6393 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6394 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6395 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6396 [Steve Henson]
6397
6398 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6399 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6400 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6401 declaration has been changed from
6402 int (*cb)()
6403 into
6404 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6405 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6406 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6407 has been changed into
6408 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6409
6410 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6411 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6412 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6413
6414 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6415 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6416
6417 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6418 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6419 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6420 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6421 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6422 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6423 always load it have also been added.
6424 [Steve Henson]
6425
6426 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6427 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6428 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6429
6430 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6431
6432 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6433 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6434 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6435
6436 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6437 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6438 command line option can be used to specify an
6439 alternative file.
6440 [Steve Henson]
6441
6442 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6443 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6444 [Steve Henson]
6445
6446 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6447 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6448 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6449 [Steve Henson]
6450
6451 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6452 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6453 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6454 to work with the new engine framework.
6455 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6456
6457 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6458 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6459 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6460 to work with the new engine framework.
6461 [Richard Levitte]
6462
6463 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6464 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6465 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6466
6467 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6468 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6469
6470 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6471 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6472 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6473 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6474 FORMAT_IISSGC.
6475 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6476
6477 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6478 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6479
6480 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6481 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6482
6483 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6484 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6485 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6486 [Ben Laurie]
6487
6488 *) Add new functions
6489 ERR_peek_last_error
6490 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6491 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6492 These are similar to
6493 ERR_peek_error
6494 ERR_peek_error_line
6495 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6496 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6497 still in the error queue.
6498 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6499
6500 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6501 like:
6502 default_algorithms = ALL
6503 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6504 [Steve Henson]
6505
6506 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6507 [Steve Henson]
6508
6509 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6510 [Steve Henson]
6511
6512 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6513 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6514 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6515 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6516
6517 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6518 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6519
6520 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6521 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6522
6523 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6524 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6525 [Bodo Moeller]
6526
6527 *) New functions/macros
6528
6529 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6530 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6531 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6532 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6533
6534 to request calling a callback function
6535
6536 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6537 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6538
6539 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6540 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6541 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6542 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6543 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6544 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6545 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6546 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6547 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6548 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6549
6550 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6551 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6552 [Bodo Moeller]
6553
6554 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6555 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6556 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6557 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6558 the configuration scripts.
6559
6560 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6561 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6562 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6563
6564 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6565 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6566
6567 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6568 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6569 when reusing an existing buffer.
6570 [Bodo Moeller]
6571
6572 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6573 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6574 [Steve Henson]
6575
6576 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6577 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6578 [Ben Laurie]
6579
6580 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6581 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6582 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6583 has the same effect.
6584 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6585
6586 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6587 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6588 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6589 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6590 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6591 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6592 exception.
6593
6594 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6595 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6596 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6597 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6598
6599 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6600 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6601 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6602 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6603
6604 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6605 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6606 won't work.
6607
6608 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6609 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6610 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6611 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6612 default), and then completely removed.
6613 [Richard Levitte]
6614
6615 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6616 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6617 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6618 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6619 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6620 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6621 particular extension is supported.
6622 [Steve Henson]
6623
6624 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6625 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6626 [Steve Henson]
6627
6628 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6629 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6630 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6631 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6632 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6633 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6634 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6635 requires the destination to be valid.
6636
6637 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6638 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6639 [Steve Henson]
6640
6641 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6642 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6643 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6644 [Bodo Moeller]
6645
6646 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6647 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6648
6649 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6650 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6651 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6652 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6653 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6654 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6655 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6656 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6657 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6658 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6659 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6660 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6661 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6662 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6663 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6664 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6665 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6666 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6667 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6668 the new code.
6669 [Geoff Thorpe]
6670
6671 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6672 [Steve Henson]
6673
6674 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6675 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6676 become part of libeay.num as well.
6677 [Richard Levitte]
6678
6679 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6680 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6681 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6682 false once a handshake has been completed.
6683 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6684 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6685 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6686 client has followed the request.)
6687 [Bodo Moeller]
6688
6689 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6690 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6691 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6692 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6693
6694 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6695 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6696 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6697 [Bodo Moeller]
6698
6699 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6700 [Steve Henson]
6701
6702 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6703 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6704 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6705 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6706
6707 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6708 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6709 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6710
6711 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6712 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6713 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6714 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6715 [Geoff Thorpe]
6716
6717 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6718 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6719 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6720 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6721 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6722 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6723 [Geoff Thorpe]
6724
6725 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6726 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6727 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6728 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6729 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6730 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6731 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6732 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6733 [Geoff Thorpe]
6734
6735 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6736 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6737 [Geoff Thorpe]
6738
6739 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6740 [Ben Laurie]
6741
6742 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6743 md_data void pointer.
6744 [Ben Laurie]
6745
6746 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6747 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6748 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6749 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6750 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6751 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6752 [Ben Laurie]
6753
6754 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6755 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6756 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6757 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6758 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6759 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6760 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6761 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6762 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6763 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6764 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6765 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6766 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6767 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6768 rather than letting it slide.
6769
6770 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6771 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6772 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6773 [Geoff Thorpe]
6774
6775 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6776 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6777 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6778 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6779 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6780 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6781 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6782 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6783 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6784 [Geoff Thorpe]
6785
6786 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6787 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6788 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6789 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6790 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6791
6792 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6793 [Geoff Thorpe]
6794
6795 *) Add EVP test program.
6796 [Ben Laurie]
6797
6798 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6799 [Ben Laurie]
6800
6801 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6802 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6803 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6804 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6805 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6806 [Steve Henson]
6807
6808 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6809 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6810 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6811 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6812 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6813 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6814 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6815
6816 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6817 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6818 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6819 Usage example:
6820
6821 EVP_MD_CTX md;
6822
6823 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6824 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6825 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6826 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6827 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6828
6829 [Ben Laurie]
6830
6831 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6832 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6833 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6834 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6835 anyway): E.g.,
6836
6837 des_key_schedule ks;
6838
6839 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6840 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6841
6842 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6843 [Ben Laurie]
6844
6845 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6846 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6847 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6848 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6849 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6850 functions prevents this.
6851 [Steve Henson]
6852
6853 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6854 [Ben Laurie]
6855
6856 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6857 correct _ecb suffix.
6858 [Ben Laurie]
6859
6860 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6861 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6862 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6863 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6864 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6865 [Steve Henson]
6866
6867 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6868 [Richard Levitte]
6869
6870 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6871 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6872 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6873 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6874
6875 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6876 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6877
6878 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6879 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6880 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6881 via Richard Levitte]
6882
6883 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6884 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6885 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6886 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6887 [Geoff Thorpe]
6888
6889 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6890 Before:
6891 encrypt
6892 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
6893 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
6894 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

6899 des-cbc 3483.72k 5067.62k 5504.60k 5708.01k 5724.80k
6900 After:
6901 encrypt
6902 des-cbc 4660.16k 5650.19k 5807.19k 5827.13k 5783.32k
6903 decrypt
6904 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
6905 [Ben Laurie]
6906
6907 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6908 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6909
6910 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6911 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6912 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6913 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6914 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6915 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6916 [Steve Henson]
6917
6918 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6919 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6920 [Richard Levitte]
6921
6922 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6923 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6924 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6925 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6926
6927 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6928 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6929 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6930 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6931 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6932 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6933 callback.
6934 [Richard Levitte]
6935
6936 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6937 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6938 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6939 and interrupts/cancellations.
6940 [Richard Levitte]
6941
6942 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6943 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6944 [Steve Henson]
6945
6946 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6947 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6948 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6949
6950 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6951 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6952 kind of callback.
6953 [Richard Levitte]
6954
6955 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6956 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6957 than this minimum value is recommended.
6958 [Lutz Jaenicke]
6959
6960 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6961 that are easily reachable.
6962 [Richard Levitte]
6963
6964 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6965 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6966
6967 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6968
6969 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6970 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6971 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6972 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6973 [Steve Henson]
6974
6975 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6976 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6977 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6978 [Steve Henson]
6979
6980 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6981 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6982 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6983 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6984 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6985 internally such as S/MIME.
6986
6987 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6988 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6989 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6990
6991 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6992 applications.
6993 [Steve Henson]
6994
6995 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6996 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6997 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6998 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6999
7000 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7001
7002 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
7003
7004 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
7005 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
7006 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
7007 handling.
7008 [Steve Henson]
7009
7010 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
7011 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
7012 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
7013 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
7014 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
7015 a window system and the like.
7016 [Richard Levitte]
7017
7018 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
7019 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
7020 [Geoff]
7021
7022 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
7023 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
7024 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
7025 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
7026 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
7027 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
7028 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
7029 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
7030 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
7031 ENGINE structure.
7032 [Geoff]
7033
7034 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
7035 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
7036 tag cache.
7037 [Steve Henson]
7038
7039 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
7040 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
7041 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
7042 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
7043 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
7044 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
7045 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
7046 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
7047 [Geoff]
7048
7049 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
7050 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
7051 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
7052 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
7053 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
7054 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
7055 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
7056 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
7057 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
7058 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
7059 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
7060 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
7061 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
7062 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
7063 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
7064 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
7065 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
7066 [Geoff]
7067
7068 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
7069 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
7070 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
7071 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
7072 internal engine_int.h header.
7073 [Geoff]
7074
7075 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
7076 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
7077 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
7078 modify their own ones).
7079 [Geoff]
7080
7081 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
7082 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
7083 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
7084 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
7085 later on via ctrl() commands.
7086 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
7087 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
7088 structural references.
7089 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
7090 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
7091 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
7092 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
7093 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
7094 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
7095 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
7096 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
7097 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
7098 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
7099 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
7100 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
7101 [Geoff]
7102
7103 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
7104 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
7105 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
7106 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
7107 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
7108 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
7109 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
7110 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
7111 [Bodo Moeller]
7112
7113 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
7114 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
7115 [Steve Henson]
7116
7117 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
7118 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
7119 [Steve Henson]
7120
7121 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
7122 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
7123 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
7124 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
7125 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
7126 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
7127 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
7128 [Steve Henson]
7129
7130 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
7131 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
7132 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
7133 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
7134 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
7135
7136 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
7137 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7138 generator).
7139 [Bodo Moeller]
7140
7141 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7142
7143 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7144 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7145 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7146
7147 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7148 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7149
7150 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7151 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7152 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7153
7154 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7155 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7156
7157 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7158 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7159
7160 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7161
7162 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7163 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7164 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7165 [Bodo Moeller]
7166
7167 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7168 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7169 [Richard Levitte]
7170
7171 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7172 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7173 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7174 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7175 is 40 of more characters long.
7176 [Steve Henson]
7177
7178 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7179 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7180 pointers.
7181 [Steve Henson]
7182
7183 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7184 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7185 [Bodo Moeller]
7186
7187 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7188 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7189 might.
7190 [Steve Henson]
7191
7192 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7193
7194 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7195 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7196
7197 ASN1 error codes
7198 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7199 ...
7200 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7201 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7202 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7203 ...
7204 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7205 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7206
7207 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7208 [Bodo Moeller]
7209
7210 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7211 suffices.
7212 [Bodo Moeller]
7213
7214 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7215 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7216 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7217 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7218 and
7219 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7220
7221 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7222 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7223
7224 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7225 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7226 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7227 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7228 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7229 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7230
7231 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7232 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7233
7234 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7235 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7236
7237 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7238 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7239
7240 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7241 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7242 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7243 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7244
7245 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7246 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7247
7248 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7249 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7250
7251 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7252 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7253 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7254 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7255 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7256 [Richard Levitte]
7257
7258 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7259 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7260 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7261 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7262 [Steve Henson]
7263
7264 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7265 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7266 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7267 trust settings.
7268 [Steve Henson]
7269
7270 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7271 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7272 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7273 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7274 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7275 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7276 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7277 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7278 ocsp utility.
7279 [Steve Henson]
7280
7281 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7282 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7283 [Steve Henson]
7284
7285 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7286 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7287 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7288 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7289 [Steve Henson]
7290
7291 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7292 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7293 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7294 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7295 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7296 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7297 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7298 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7299 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7300 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7301 [Steve Henson]
7302
7303 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7304 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7305 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7306 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7307 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7308 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7309 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7310 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7311
7312 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7313 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7314 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7315 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7316 [Richard Levitte]
7317
7318 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7319 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7320 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7321 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7322 opensslconf.h.
7323 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7324 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7325 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7326 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7327 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7328 what is available.
7329 [Richard Levitte]
7330
7331 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7332 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7333 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7334 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7335 auto incremented.
7336 [Steve Henson]
7337
7338 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7339 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7340 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7341 [Steve Henson]
7342
7343 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7344 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7345 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7346 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7347 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7348 [Steve Henson]
7349
7350 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7351 [Steve Henson]
7352
7353 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7354 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7355 option to ocsp utility.
7356 [Steve Henson]
7357
7358 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7359 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7360 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7361 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7362 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7363 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7364 the request is nonce-less.
7365 [Steve Henson]
7366
7367 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7368 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7369 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7370 [Bodo Moeller]
7371
7372 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7373 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7374 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7375 [Steve Henson]
7376
7377 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7378 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7379 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7380 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7381 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7382 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7383
7384 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7385 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7386 appear to exist.
7387 [Steve Henson]
7388
7389 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7390 additional certificates supplied.
7391 [Steve Henson]
7392
7393 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7394 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7395 signature against.
7396 [Richard Levitte]
7397
7398 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7399 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7400 AES OIDs.
7401
7402 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7403 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7404 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7405 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7406 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7407 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7408 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7409 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7410 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7411
7412 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7413 request to response.
7414 [Steve Henson]
7415
7416 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7417 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7418 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7419 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7420 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7421 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7422 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7423 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7424 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7425 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7426 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7427 [Steve Henson]
7428
7429 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7430 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7431 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7432 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7433 [Steve Henson]
7434
7435 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7436 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7437
7438 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7439 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7440 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7441 [Steve Henson]
7442
7443 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7444 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7445 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7446 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7447 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7448
7449 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7450 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7451 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7452 [Steve Henson]
7453
7454 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7455 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7456 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7457 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7458 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7459 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7460 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7461 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7462
7463 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7464 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7465 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7466 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7467 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7468 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7469 [Steve Henson]
7470
7471 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7472 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7473 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7474 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7475 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7476 printout format cleaned up.
7477 [Steve Henson]
7478
7479 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7480 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7481 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7482 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7483 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7484 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7485 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7486 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7487 [Steve Henson]
7488
7489 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7490 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7491 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7492 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7493 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7494 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7495 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7496 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7497 [Steve Henson]
7498
7499 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7500 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7501 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7502 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7503 section to use.
7504 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7505
7506 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7507 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7508 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7509 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7510 [Steve Henson]
7511
7512 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7513 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7514 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7515 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7516 in the index file.
7517 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7518
7519 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7520 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7521 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7522 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7523
7524 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7525 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7526
7527 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7528 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7529 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7530 [Steve Henson]
7531
7532 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7533 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7534 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7535 [Bodo Moeller]
7536
7537 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7538 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7539 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7540 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7541 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7542 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7543 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7544 functions are provided:
7545
7546 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7547 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7548 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7549 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7550
7551 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7552 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7553 extended allocation function is enabled.
7554 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7555 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7556 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7557
7558 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7559 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7560 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7561 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7562 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7563 [Geoff Thorpe]
7564
7565 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7566 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7567 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7568 be queried.
7569 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7570 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7571 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7572 [Lutz Jaenicke]
7573
7574 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7575 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7576 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7577 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7578 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7579 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7580 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7581 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7582 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7583 [Richard Levitte]
7584
7585 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7586 provide utility functions which an application needing
7587 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7588 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7589 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7590
7591 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7592 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7593 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7594 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7595 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7596 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7597 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7598 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7599 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7600
7601 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7602 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7603 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7604 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7605 [Steve Henson]
7606
7607 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7608 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7609 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7610 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7611 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7612 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7613 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7614 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7615 will be added elsewhere.
7616 [Steve Henson]
7617
7618 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7619 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7620 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7621 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7622 [Steve Henson]
7623
7624 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7625 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7626 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7627 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7628 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7629 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7630 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7631 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7632 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7633 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7634 to produce the required SET OF.
7635 [Steve Henson]
7636
7637 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7638 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7639 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7640 [Richard Levitte]
7641
7642 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7643 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7644 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7645 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7646 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7647 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7648 [Steve Henson]
7649
7650 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7651 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7652 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7653 [Steve Henson]
7654
7655 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7656 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7657 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7658 [Richard Levitte]
7659
7660 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7661 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7662 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7663 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7664 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7665 [Steve Henson]
7666
7667 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7668 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7669 [Steve Henson]
7670
7671 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7672 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7673 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7674 certificates and CRLs.
7675 [Steve Henson]
7676
7677 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7678 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7679 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7680 [Steve Henson]
7681
7682 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7683 entries for variables.
7684 [Steve Henson]
7685
7686 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7687 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7688 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7689 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7690 [Bodo Moeller]
7691
7692 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7693 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7694 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7695 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7696 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7697 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7698 [Bodo Moeller]
7699
7700 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7701 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7702
7703 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7704 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7705 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7706 [Steve Henson]
7707
7708 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7709 print routines.
7710 [Steve Henson]
7711
7712 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7713 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7714 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7715 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7716 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7717 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7718 [Steve Henson]
7719
7720 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7721 [Steve Henson]
7722
7723 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7724 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7725 for now but they will eventually go away.
7726 [Steve Henson]
7727
7728 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7729 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7730 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7731 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7732 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7733 has also been converted to the new form.
7734 [Steve Henson]
7735
7736 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7737 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7738 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7739 for negative moduli.
7740 [Bodo Moeller]
7741
7742 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7743 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7744 [Bodo Moeller]
7745
7746 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7747 set.
7748 [Bodo Moeller]
7749
7750 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7751 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7752 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7753 type-specific callbacks.
7754 [Geoff Thorpe]
7755
7756 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7757 RFC 2712.
7758 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7759 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7760
7761 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7762 in sections depending on the subject.
7763 [Richard Levitte]
7764
7765 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7766 Windows.
7767 [Richard Levitte]
7768
7769 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7770 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7771 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7772 be handled deterministically).
7773 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7774
7775 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7776 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7777 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7778 [Bodo Moeller]
7779
7780 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7781 [Bodo Moeller]
7782
7783 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7784 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7785 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7786 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7787 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7788 [Bodo Moeller]
7789
7790 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7791 sign of the number in question.
7792
7793 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7794
7795 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7796 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7797 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7798 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7799 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7800 [Bodo Moeller]
7801
7802 *) New function BN_swap.
7803 [Bodo Moeller]
7804
7805 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7806 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7807 results on negative inputs.
7808 [Bodo Moeller]
7809
7810 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7811 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7812 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7813 [Bodo Moeller]
7814
7815 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7816 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7817 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7818 and add new functions:
7819
7820 BN_nnmod
7821 BN_mod_sqr
7822 BN_mod_add
7823 BN_mod_add_quick
7824 BN_mod_sub
7825 BN_mod_sub_quick
7826 BN_mod_lshift1
7827 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7828 BN_mod_lshift
7829 BN_mod_lshift_quick
7830
7831 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7832
7833 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7834 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7835
7836 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7837 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7838 be reduced modulo m.
7839 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7840
7841 #if 0
7842 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7843 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7844 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7845
7846 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7847 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7848 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7849 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7850 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7851 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7852 differing sizes.
7853 [Richard Levitte]
7854 #endif
7855
7856 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7857 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7858 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7859 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7860 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7861
7862 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7863 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7864 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7865 cause any problems.
7866 [Bodo Moeller]
7867
7868 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7869 [Richard Levitte]
7870
7871 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7872 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7873 [Richard Levitte]
7874
7875 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7876 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7877 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7878 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7879 time)
7880 [Richard Levitte]
7881
7882 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7883 [Richard Levitte]
7884
7885 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7886 [Richard Levitte]
7887
7888 *) Add the following functions:
7889
7890 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7891 ENGINE_load_chil()
7892 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7893 ENGINE_load_nuron()
7894 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7895
7896 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7897 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7898 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7899 libraries unless it's really needed.
7900
7901 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7902 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7903 declarations (they differed!).
7904 [Richard Levitte]
7905
7906 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7907 [Richard Levitte]
7908
7909 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7910 [Richard Levitte]
7911
7912 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7913 [Bodo Moeller]
7914
7915 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7916 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7917 [Richard Levitte]
7918
7919 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7920 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7921 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7922
7923 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7924 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7925 [Richard Levitte]
7926
7927 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7928 [Richard Levitte]
7929
7930 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7931 [Richard Levitte]
7932
7933 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7934 [Ben Laurie]
7935
7936 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7937 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7938 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7939
7940 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7941 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7942 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7943 different shared library filenames on each system.
7944 [Geoff Thorpe]
7945
7946 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7947 [Richard Levitte]
7948
7949 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7950 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7951 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7952 of two sections.
7953 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7954
7955 *) NCONF changes.
7956 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7957 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7958 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7959 binary backward compatibility.
7960 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7961 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7962 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7963 LDAP server.
7964 [Richard Levitte]
7965
7966 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7967 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7968 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7969 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7970 this case.
7971 [Steve Henson]
7972
7973 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7974 [Ben Laurie]
7975
7976 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7977 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7978 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7979 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7980 set.
7981 [Steve Henson]
7982
7983 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7984 [Richard Levitte]
7985
7986 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7987
7988 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7989 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7990 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7991
7992 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7993
7994 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7995
7996 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7997 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7998 [Steve Henson]
7999
8000 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
8001
8002 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
8003
8004 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
8005 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
8006
8007 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
8008 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
8009
8010 [Steve Henson]
8011
8012 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
8013 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
8014 specifications.
8015 [Steve Henson]
8016
8017 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
8018 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
8019 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
8020 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
8021
8022 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
8023 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
8024 [Richard Levitte]
8025
8026 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
8027
8028 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
8029 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
8030 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
8031 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
8032 [Bodo Moeller]
8033
8034 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
8035 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
8036 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
8037 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
8038 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8039
8040 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
8041 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
8042 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
8043 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
8044 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
8045 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
8046 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
8047 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
8048 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
8049 [Bodo Moeller]
8050
8051 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
8052
8053 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
8054 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
8055 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
8056 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
8057 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
8058
8059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
8060 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
8061 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
8062
8063 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
8064
8065 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
8066 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
8067 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
8068 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
8069 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
8070 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
8071 [Geoff Thorpe]
8072
8073 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
8074 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
8075 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
8076 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
8077 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
8078 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8079
8080 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
8081 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
8082 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
8083
8084 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
8085 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
8086 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
8087 EVP_cleanup().
8088 [Richard Levitte]
8089
8090 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
8091 being properly terminated.
8092 [Richard Levitte]
8093
8094 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
8095 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
8096 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
8097 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
8098
8099 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
8100 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
8101 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
8102 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
8103 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
8104 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
8105 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
8106 change.
8107 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
8108
8109 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
8110 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
8111 [Bodo Moeller]
8112
8113 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
8114 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
8115 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
8116 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
8117 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
8118 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
8119 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
8120 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
8121
8122 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
8123 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
8124 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
8125 (see [openssl.org #212]).
8126 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
8127
8128 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
8129 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
8130 [Steve Henson]
8131
8132 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
8133
8134 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
8135 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
8136 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
8137
8138 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8139
8140 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8141 and get fix the header length calculation.
8142 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8143 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8144 Steve Henson]
8145
8146 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8147 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8148 assertions could call abort()).
8149 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8150
8151 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8152
8153 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8154 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8155 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8156 supplied buffer.
8157 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8158
8159 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8160 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8161 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8162 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8163
8164 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8165 [Nils Larsch]
8166
8167 *) New option
8168 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8169 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8170 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8171
8172 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8173 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8174 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8175 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8176 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8177 applications.
8178 [Bodo Moeller]
8179
8180 *) Changes in security patch:
8181
8182 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8183 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8184 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8185 F30602-01-2-0537.
8186
8187 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8188 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8189 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8190 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8191 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8192
8193 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8194 happen in practice.
8195 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8196
8197 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8198 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8199 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8200
8201 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8202 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8203 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8204
8205 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8206 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8207 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8208
8209 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8210
8211 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8212 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8213 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8214
8215 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8216 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8217
8218 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8219 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8220 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8221 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8222 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8223 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8224 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8225
8226 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8227 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8228 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8229 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8230 [Bodo Moeller]
8231
8232 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8233 [Bodo Moeller]
8234
8235 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8236 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8237 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8238 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8239 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8240 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8241
8242 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8243 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8244 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8245 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8246 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8247 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8248
8249 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8250 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8251 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8252 BN_generate_prime().)
8253
8254 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8255 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8256 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8257 better.
8258 [Bodo Moeller]
8259
8260 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8261 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8262 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8263
8264 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8265 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8266 when using non-blocking I/O.
8267 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8268
8269 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8270 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8271
8272 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8273 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8274 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8275
8276 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8277 configuration for the versions before that.
8278 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8279
8280 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8281 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8282 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8283 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8284 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8285
8286 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8287 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8288 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8289 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8290
8291 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8292 value is 0.
8293 [Richard Levitte]
8294
8295 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8296 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8297 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8298
8299 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8300 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8301
8302 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8303 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8304 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8305 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8306 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8307 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8308 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8309 session cache.
8310
8311 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8312 using a local variable.
8313 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8314
8315 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8316 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8317 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8318
8319 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8320 [Richard Levitte]
8321
8322 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8323 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8324
8325 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8326 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8327 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8328
8329 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8330
8331 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8332 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8333 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8334 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8335 [Bodo Moeller]
8336
8337 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8338 present.
8339 [Steve Henson]
8340
8341 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8342 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8343 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8344 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8345 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8346
8347 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8348 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8349 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8350
8351 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8352 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8353 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8354
8355 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8356 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8357 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8358 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8359
8360 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8361 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8362 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8363 modules).
8364 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8365
8366 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8367 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8368 from 0.9.7.
8369 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8370
8371 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8372 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8373 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8374 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8375
8376 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8377 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8378 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8379 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8380
8381 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8382 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8383
8384 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8385 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8386 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8387 [Bodo Moeller]
8388
8389 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8390 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8391 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8392 become invalid.
8393 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8394
8395 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8396 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8397 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8398 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8399 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8400 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8401 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8402 [Bodo Moeller]
8403
8404 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8405 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8406 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8407 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8408
8409 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8410 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8411 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8412 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8413 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8414 the client will at least see that alert.
8415 [Bodo Moeller]
8416
8417 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8418 correctly.
8419 [Bodo Moeller]
8420
8421 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8422 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8423 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8424
8425 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8426 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8427 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8428 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8429 HelloRequest.
8430
8431 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8432 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8433 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8434
8435 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8436 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8437 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8438 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8439 may leak via logfiles.)
8440
8441 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8442 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8443 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8444 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8445 the legal range.
8446 [Bodo Moeller]
8447
8448 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8449 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8450 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8451
8452 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8453 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8454 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8455 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8456 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8457 [Bodo Moeller]
8458
8459 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8460 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8461
8462 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8463 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8464 followed by modular reduction.
8465 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8466
8467 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8468 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8469 [Bodo Moeller]
8470
8471 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8472 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8473 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8474 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8475 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8476
8477 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8478 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8479
8480 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8481 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8482 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8483
8484 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8485 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8486 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8487 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8488 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8489 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8490 automatically.
8491 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8492
8493 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8494 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8495 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8496 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8497 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8498
8499 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8500 [Andy Polyakov]
8501
8502 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8503 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8504 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8505 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8506 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8507 to allow the necessary settings.
8508 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8509
8510 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8511 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8512 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8513 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8514 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8515
8516 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8517 dh->length and always used
8518
8519 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8520
8521 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8522 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8523 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8524 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8525 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8526 dh->length.
8527
8528 So switch back to
8529
8530 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8531
8532 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8533 otherwise.
8534 [Bodo Moeller]
8535
8536 *) In
8537
8538 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8539 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8540 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8541 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8542
8543 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8544 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8545 always reject numbers >= n.
8546 [Bodo Moeller]
8547
8548 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8549 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8550 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8551 variable) is not atomic.
8552 [Bodo Moeller]
8553
8554 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8555 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8556 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8557 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8558
8559 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8560 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8561
8562 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8563 little-endian MIPS.
8564 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8565
8566 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8567 [Richard Levitte]
8568
8569 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8570
8571 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8572 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8573 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8574 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8575 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8576 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8577 to traverse all of 'state'.
8578
8579 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8580 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8581 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8582
8583 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8584 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8585
8586 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8587 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8588 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8589 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8590 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8591 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8592 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8593 further strengthens the PRNG.
8594 [Bodo Moeller]
8595
8596 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8597 [Andy Polyakov]
8598
8599 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8600 an error message in this case.
8601 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8602
8603 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8604 [Steve Henson]
8605
8606 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8607 positive and less than q.
8608 [Bodo Moeller]
8609
8610 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8611 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8612 that itself.
8613 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8614
8615 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8616 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8617 [Bodo Moeller]
8618
8619 *) Fix OAEP check.
8620 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8621
8622 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8623 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8624 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8625 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8626 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8627 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8628 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8629 paper.)
8630
8631 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8632 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8633 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8634 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8635
8636 Both problems are now fixed.
8637 [Bodo Moeller]
8638
8639 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8640 (previously it was 1024).
8641 [Bodo Moeller]
8642
8643 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8644 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8645 [Steve Henson]
8646
8647 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8648 [Steve Henson]
8649
8650 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8651 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8652 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8653 [Steve Henson]
8654
8655 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8656 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8657 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8658 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8659 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8660 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8661 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8662 environment variables.
8663
8664 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8665 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8666 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8667 [Bodo Moeller]
8668
8669 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8670 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8671 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8672 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8673 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8674 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8675 [Bodo Moeller]
8676
8677 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8678 versions of 'test'.
8679 [Bodo Moeller]
8680
8681 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8682
8683 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8684 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8685
8686 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8687 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8688 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8689 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8690 CygWin.
8691 [Richard Levitte]
8692
8693 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8694 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8695 amount of data available.
8696 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8697 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8698
8699 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8700 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8701 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8702 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8703 [Bodo Moeller]
8704
8705 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8706 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8707 and UnixWare.
8708 [Richard Levitte]
8709
8710 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8711 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8712 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8713 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8714 [Ulf Moeller]
8715
8716 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8717 [Andy Polyakov]
8718
8719 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8720 [Richard Levitte]
8721
8722 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8723 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8724 [Steve Henson]
8725 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8726
8727 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8728 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8729 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8730 (but broken) behaviour.
8731 [Steve Henson]
8732
8733 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8734 it when found.
8735 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8736
8737 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8738 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8739 [Bodo Moeller]
8740
8741 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8742 did not exist.
8743 [Bodo Moeller]
8744
8745 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8746 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8747
8748 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8749 [Richard Levitte]
8750
8751 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8752 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8753 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8754
8755 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8756 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8757 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8758 [Steve Henson]
8759
8760 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8761 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8762 [Ulf Moeller]
8763
8764 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8765 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8766
8767 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8768
8769 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8770
8771 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8772 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8773 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8774 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8775 [Bodo Moeller]
8776
8777 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8778 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8779
8780 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8781 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8782 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8783
8784 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8785 was empty.
8786 [Steve Henson]
8787 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8788
8789 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8790 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8791 but the code is actually correct.
8792 [Steve Henson]
8793
8794 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8795 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8796 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8797 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8798 and leaves the highest bit random.
8799 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8800
8801 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8802 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8803 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8804 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8805 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8806 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8807 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8808 [Bodo Moeller]
8809
8810 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8811 [Ulf Moeller]
8812
8813 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8814 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8815 [Steve Henson]
8816
8817 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8818 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8819 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8820 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8821 headers.
8822 [Richard Levitte]
8823
8824 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8825 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8826 and break the signature.
8827 [Steve Henson]
8828 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8829
8830 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8831 DH ciphersuites.
8832 [Steve Henson]
8833
8834 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8835 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8836 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8837 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8838 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8839 [Bodo Moeller]
8840
8841 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8842 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8843
8844 *) ./config script fixes.
8845 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8846
8847 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8848 [Bodo Moeller]
8849
8850 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8851 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8852 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8853 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8854 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8855
8856 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8857 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8858 [Bodo Moeller]
8859
8860 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8861 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8862 [Steve Henson]
8863
8864 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8865 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8866 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8867 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8868
8869 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8870 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8871
8872 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8873 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8874 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8875 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8876 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8877
8878 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8879 [Bodo Moeller]
8880
8881 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8882 [Ulf Möller]
8883
8884 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8885 [Ulf Möller]
8886
8887 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8888 [Bodo Moeller]
8889
8890 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8891 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8892 [Bodo Moeller]
8893
8894 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8895 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8896 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8897 result of the server certificate verification.)
8898 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8899
8900 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8901 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8902 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8903 [Bodo Moeller]
8904
8905 *) Fix SSL_peek:
8906 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8907 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8908 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8909 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8910 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8911 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8912 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8913 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8914 [Bodo Moeller]
8915
8916 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8917 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8918 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8919 happening the other way round.
8920 [Geoff Thorpe]
8921
8922 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8923 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8924 [Bodo Moeller]
8925
8926 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8927 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8928 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8929 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8930 [Richard Levitte]
8931
8932 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8933 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8934
8935 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8936
8937 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8938 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8939 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8940 that.
8941
8942 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8943
8944 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8945
8946 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8947 static ones.
8948 [Richard Levitte]
8949
8950 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8951
8952 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8953 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8954 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8955 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8956 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8957
8958 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8959 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8960 matter what.
8961 [Richard Levitte]
8962
8963 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8964 [Lutz Jaenicke]
8965
8966 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8967
8968 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8969 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8970 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8971 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8972 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8973 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8974 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8975 by the Finished messages.
8976 [Bodo Moeller]
8977
8978 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8979 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8980
8981 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8982 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8983 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8984 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8985 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8986 appropriately.
8987 [Steve Henson]
8988
8989 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8990 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8991 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8992 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8993 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8994 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8995 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8996 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8997 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8998 together.
8999 [Steve Henson]
9000
9001 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
9002 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
9003 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
9004 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
9005
9006 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
9007 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
9008 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
9009 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
9010 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
9011 the answer.
9012
9013 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
9014 been tested well enough.
9015 [Richard Levitte]
9016
9017 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
9018 it can return incorrect results.
9019 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
9020 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
9021 [Bodo Moeller]
9022
9023 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
9024 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
9025 include zero length content when signing messages.
9026 [Steve Henson]
9027
9028 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
9029 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
9030 [Bodo Möller]
9031
9032 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
9033 [Richard Levitte]
9034
9035 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
9036 wrong sign.
9037 [Ulf Möller]
9038
9039 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
9040 packages. The default package contains applications, application
9041 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
9042 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
9043 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
9044 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
9045 [Richard Levitte]
9046
9047 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
9048 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9049
9050 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
9051 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
9052
9053 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
9054 random number < q in the DSA library.
9055 [Ulf Möller]
9056
9057 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
9058 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
9059 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
9060 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
9061 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
9062 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
9063 just makes things more complicated.)
9064 [Bodo Moeller]
9065
9066 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
9067 from EGD.
9068 [Ben Laurie]
9069
9070 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
9071 work better on such systems.
9072 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9073
9074 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
9075 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
9076 keyid to the certificates aux info.
9077 [Steve Henson]
9078
9079 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
9080 if there was more than one signature.
9081 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
9082
9083 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
9084 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
9085 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
9086 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
9087 [Richard Levitte]
9088
9089 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
9090 rather than always using the current time.
9091 [Steve Henson]
9092
9093 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
9094 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
9095 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
9096 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
9097 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
9098 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
9099
9100 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
9101 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
9102
9103 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
9104
9105 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
9106 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
9107 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
9108 the same hash value.
9109
9110 As a result various functions (which were all internal
9111 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
9112 structure. This will break anything that messed round
9113 with X509_STORE internally.
9114
9115 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
9116 exact match, rather than just subject name.
9117
9118 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
9119 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
9120 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
9121 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
9122 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
9123 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
9124 entirely (maybe later...).
9125
9126 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
9127
9128 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
9129 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
9130 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
9131 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
9132 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
9133 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
9134 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
9135 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
9136
9137 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
9138 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9139
9140 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9141 to customise the verify behaviour.
9142 [Steve Henson]
9143
9144 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9145 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9146 [Steve Henson]
9147
9148 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9149 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9150 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9151 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9152 request is improperly encoded.
9153 [Steve Henson]
9154
9155 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9156 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9157 BIO_write(b, ...).
9158
9159 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9160 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9161
9162 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9163 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9164 words set to zero.)
9165 [Bodo Moeller]
9166
9167 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9168 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9169 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9170 [Bodo Moeller]
9171
9172 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9173 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9174 BIO/fp routines also added.
9175 [Steve Henson]
9176
9177 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9178 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9179
9180 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9181 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9182 demos/state_machine.
9183 [Ben Laurie]
9184
9185 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9186 generation and verification.
9187 [Steve Henson]
9188
9189 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9190 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9191 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9192 encode and decode it manually.
9193 [Steve Henson]
9194
9195 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9196 compile under VC++.
9197 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9198
9199 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9200 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9201 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9202 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9203
9204 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9205 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9206 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9207 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9208 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9209 [Steve Henson]
9210
9211 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9212 [Richard Levitte]
9213
9214 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9215 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9216 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9217
9218 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9219 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9220 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9221 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9222 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9223 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9224 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9225 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9226
9227 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9228 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9229
9230 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9231
9232 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9233 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9234 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9235
9236 [Richard Levitte]
9237
9238 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9239 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9240 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9241 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9242 [Richard Levitte]
9243
9244 *) MD4 implemented.
9245 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9246
9247 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9248 [Richard Levitte]
9249
9250 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9251 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9252 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9253 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9254 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9255 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9256 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9257 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9258 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9259 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9260 short or long names are found.
9261 [Steve Henson]
9262
9263 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9264 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9265
9266 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9267 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9268 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9269 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9270
9271 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9272 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9273 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9274 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9275 [Bodo Moeller]
9276
9277 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9278 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9279 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9280 [Richard Levitte]
9281
9282 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9283 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9284 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9285 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9286 to allow the various flags to be set.
9287 [Steve Henson]
9288
9289 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9290 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9291 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9292 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9293 dates to be checked.
9294 [Steve Henson]
9295
9296 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9297 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9298 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9299 [Steve Henson]
9300
9301 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9302 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9303 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9304 [Steve Henson]
9305
9306 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9307 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9308 [Bodo Moeller]
9309
9310 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9311 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9312 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9313 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9314 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9315 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9316 [Richard Levitte]
9317
9318 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9319 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9320 Random Numbers.
9321 [Ulf Möller]
9322
9323 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9324 DSA key.
9325 [Steve Henson]
9326
9327 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9328 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9329 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9330 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9331 form signing output easier to verify.
9332 [Steve Henson]
9333
9334 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9335 [Steve Henson]
9336
9337 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9338 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9339 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9340 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9341 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9342 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9343 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9344 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9345 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9346 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9347 [Steve Henson]
9348
9349 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9350
9351 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9352 the syntax given in objects.README.
9353 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9354 obj_mac.h.
9355 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9356 obj_mac.h.
9357
9358 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9359 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9360 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9361 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9362 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9363 consistent name changes.
9364 [Richard Levitte]
9365
9366 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9367 [Bodo Moeller]
9368
9369 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9370 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9371 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9372 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9373 [Richard Levitte]
9374
9375 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9376 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9377 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9378 of safestack.h .
9379 [Steve Henson]
9380
9381 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9382 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9383 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9384 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9385 [Steve Henson]
9386
9387 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9388 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9389 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9390 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9391 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9392 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9393 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9394 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9395 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9396 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9397 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9398 [Steve Henson]
9399
9400 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9401 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9402 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9403 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9404 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9405 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9406 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9407 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9408 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9409 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9410 [Steve Henson]
9411
9412 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9413 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9414 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9415 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9416
9417 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9418 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9419 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9420 omit any duplicate addresses.
9421 [Steve Henson]
9422
9423 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9424 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9425 [Bodo Moeller]
9426
9427 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9428 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9429 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9430 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9431 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9432 [Bodo Moeller]
9433
9434 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9435 software:
9436 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9437 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9438 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9439 Free => OPENSSL_free
9440 [Richard Levitte]
9441
9442 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9443 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9444 [Bodo Moeller]
9445
9446 *) CygWin32 support.
9447 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9448
9449 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9450 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9451 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9452 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9453 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9454 approach.
9455 [Geoff Thorpe]
9456
9457 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9458 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9459 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9460 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9461 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9462 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9463 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9464 [Geoff Thorpe]
9465
9466 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9467 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9468 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9469 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9470 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9471 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9472 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9473 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9474 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9475 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9476 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9477 [Bodo Moeller]
9478
9479 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9480 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9481 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9482 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9483 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9484
9485 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9486 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9487 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9488 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9489 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9490
9491 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9492 ciphers.
9493
9494 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9495 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9496 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9497 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9498
9499 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9500
9501 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9502 of macros.
9503
9504 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9505 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9506 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9507 flags.
9508
9509 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9510 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9511 any installed hardware versions can.
9512 [Steve Henson]
9513
9514 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9515 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9516 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9517 number.
9518 [Bodo Moeller]
9519
9520 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9521 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9522 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9523 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9524 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9525
9526 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9527 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9528 [Steve Henson]
9529
9530 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9531 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9532 [Richard Levitte]
9533
9534 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9535 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9536 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9537 features.
9538 [Steve Henson]
9539
9540 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9541 [Ulf Möller]
9542
9543 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9544 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9545 but no ssl client purpose.
9546 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9547
9548 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9549 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9550 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9551 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9552 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9553 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9554 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9555 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9556 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9557 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9558 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9559 [Steve Henson]
9560
9561 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9562 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9563 be obtained from the error queue.
9564 [Bodo Moeller]
9565
9566 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9567 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9568 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9569 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9570 [Bodo Moeller]
9571
9572 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9573 [Ulf Möller]
9574
9575 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9576 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9577 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9578 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9579 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9580 [Geoff Thorpe]
9581
9582 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9583 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9584 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9585 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9586 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9587 [Geoff Thorpe]
9588
9589 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9590 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9591 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9592 may not be NULL.
9593 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9594
9595 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9596 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9597 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9598 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9599 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9600 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9601 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9602 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9603 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9604 or "the configuration storage API"...
9605
9606 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9607
9608 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9609 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9610
9611 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9612
9613 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9614
9615 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9616 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9617 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9618 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9619 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9620 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9621 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9622
9623 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9624 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9625 [Richard Levitte]
9626
9627 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9628 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9629 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9630 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9631 [Bodo Moeller]
9632
9633 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9634 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9635 them in a portable way.
9636 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9637
9638 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9639
9640 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9641
9642 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9643 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9644
9645 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9646 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9647 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9648 <attili@amaxo.com>]
9649
9650 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9651 was larger than the MD block size.
9652 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9653
9654 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9655 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9656 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9657 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9658 components.
9659 [Steve Henson]
9660
9661 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9662 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9663 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9664
9665 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9666 discouraged.
9667 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9668
9669 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9670 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9671 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9672 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9673 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9674 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9675
9676 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9677 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9678
9679 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9680 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9681 [Bodo Moeller]
9682
9683 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9684 [Bodo Moeller]
9685
9686 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9687 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9688 its own key.
9689 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9690 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9691 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9692 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9693 [Bodo Moeller]
9694
9695 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9696 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9697 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9698 does not suppress any output.
9699 [Richard Levitte]
9700
9701 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9702 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9703 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9704 with all the associated security issues.
9705
9706 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9707 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9708 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9709 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9710 use the value in the default purpose.
9711 [Steve Henson]
9712
9713 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9714 and fix a memory leak.
9715 [Steve Henson]
9716
9717 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9718 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9719 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9720 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9721 [Bodo Moeller]
9722
9723 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9724 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9725 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9726 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9727 [Bodo Moeller]
9728
9729 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9730 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9731 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9732 [Bodo Moeller]
9733
9734 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9735 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9736 [Bodo Moeller]
9737
9738 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9739 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9740 which was free.
9741 [Steve Henson]
9742
9743 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9744 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9745 [Bodo Moeller]
9746
9747 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9748 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9749 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9750 [Bodo Moeller]
9751
9752 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9753 number generation fails.
9754 [Bodo Moeller]
9755
9756 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9757 [Bodo Moeller]
9758
9759 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9760 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9761
9762 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9763 [Ulf Möller]
9764
9765 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9766 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9767
9768 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9769 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9770
9771 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9772
9773 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9774 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9775 [Steve Henson]
9776
9777 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9778 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9779
9780 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9781 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9782 [Ulf Möller]
9783
9784 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9785 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9786 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9787 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9788 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9789 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9790
9791 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9792 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9793 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9794 for example.
9795 [Steve Henson]
9796
9797 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9798 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9799 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9800 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9801 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9802 counter, some don't.)
9803 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9804 counters or duplicate objects.
9805 [Steve Henson]
9806
9807 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9808 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9809 [Steve Henson]
9810
9811 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9812 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9813 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9814
9815 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9816 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9817 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9818 or -rand.
9819 [Ulf Möller]
9820
9821 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9822 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9823 [Steve Henson]
9824
9825 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9826 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9827 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9828 cipher list.
9829 [Steve Henson]
9830
9831 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9832 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9833 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9834 [Steve Henson]
9835
9836 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9837 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9838 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9839 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9840 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9841 should work without changes.
9842 [Richard Levitte]
9843
9844 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9845 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9846 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9847 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9848 must be defined. E.g.,
9849 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9850 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9851 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9852 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9853
9854 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9855 record layer.
9856 [Bodo Moeller]
9857
9858 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9859 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9860 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9861 [Steve Henson]
9862
9863 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9864 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9865 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9866 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9867 [Steve Henson]
9868
9869 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9870 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9871 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9872 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9873 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9874 is prompted for as usual.
9875 [Steve Henson]
9876
9877 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9878 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9879 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9880 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9881
9882 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9883 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9884 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9885 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9886 [Steve Henson]
9887
9888 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9889 [Andy Polyakov]
9890
9891 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9892 of seed file.
9893 [Steve Henson]
9894
9895 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9896 [Bodo Moeller]
9897
9898 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9899 [Steve Henson]
9900
9901 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9902 bits.
9903 [Ulf Möller]
9904
9905 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9906 [Ulf Möller]
9907
9908 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9909 [Andy Polyakov]
9910
9911 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9912 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9913 [Ulf Möller]
9914
9915 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9916 options to produce them.
9917 [Steve Henson]
9918
9919 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9920 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9921 [Ulf Möller]
9922
9923 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9924 for p == 0.
9925 [Ulf Möller]
9926
9927 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9928 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9929 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9930 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9931 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9932 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9933 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9934 [Steve Henson]
9935
9936 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9937 [Steve Henson]
9938
9939 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9940 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9941 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9942 [Bodo Moeller]
9943
9944 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9945 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9946
9947 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9948 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9949 [Ulf Möller]
9950
9951 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9952 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9953 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9954 has already seen).
9955 [Bodo Moeller]
9956
9957 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9958 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9959
9960 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9961 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9962 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9963 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9964 generation becomes much faster.
9965
9966 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9967 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9968 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9969 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9970 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9971 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9972 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9973 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9974 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9975 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9976 [Bodo Moeller]
9977
9978 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9979 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9980 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9981 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9982 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9983 trial division stage.
9984 [Bodo Moeller]
9985
9986 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9987 as ASN1_TIME.
9988 [Steve Henson]
9989
9990 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9991 [Steve Henson]
9992
9993 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9994 [Ulf Möller]
9995
9996 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9997 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9998 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9999 the comments.
10000 [Ulf Möller]
10001
10002 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
10003 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
10004 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
10005 [Bodo Moeller]
10006
10007 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
10008 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
10009 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
10010 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
10011
10012 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
10013 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
10014 [Steve Henson]
10015
10016 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
10017 [Ulf Möller]
10018
10019 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
10020 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
10021 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
10022 Rabin-Miller iterations.
10023 [Ulf Möller]
10024
10025 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
10026 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
10027 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
10028 [Ulf Möller]
10029
10030 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
10031 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
10032 (instead of parameters) in future.
10033 [Steve Henson]
10034
10035 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
10036 when a new cipher list is set.
10037 [Steve Henson]
10038
10039 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
10040 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
10041 wrong.
10042
10043 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
10044 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
10045 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
10046
10047 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
10048 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
10049 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
10050 an error is flagged.
10051
10052 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
10053 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
10054 the readability was also increased :-)
10055 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
10056
10057 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
10058 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
10059 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
10060 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
10061 as the root CA.
10062 [Steve Henson]
10063
10064 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
10065 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
10066 [Steve Henson]
10067
10068 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
10069 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
10070 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
10071 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
10072 instead.
10073
10074 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
10075 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
10076 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
10077 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
10078 because they handle more complex structures.)
10079 [Steve Henson]
10080
10081 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
10082 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
10083 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
10084 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
10085
10086 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
10087 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
10088 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
10089 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
10090 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
10091 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
10092 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
10093 [Ulf Möller]
10094
10095 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
10096 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
10097 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
10098 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
10099 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
10100 [Bodo Moeller]
10101
10102 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
10103 [Bodo Moeller]
10104
10105 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
10106 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
10107 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
10108 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
10109 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
10110 to use this.
10111
10112 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
10113 code.
10114 [Steve Henson]
10115
10116 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
10117 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
10118 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
10119 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
10120 [Steve Henson]
10121
10122 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
10123 [Ulf Möller]
10124
10125 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
10126 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
10127 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
10128 international characters are used.
10129
10130 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
10131 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
10132 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
10133 in ASN1 order.
10134 [Steve Henson]
10135
10136 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
10137 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
10138 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10139 request.
10140
10141 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10142 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10143 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10144 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10145 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10146 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10147
10148 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10149 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10150 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10151 be handled by the string table functions.
10152
10153 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10154 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10155 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10156 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10157 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10158 types at all.
10159 [Steve Henson]
10160
10161 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10162 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10163 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10164 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10165 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10166
10167 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10168 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10169 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10170 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10171 [Bodo Moeller]
10172
10173 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10174 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10175 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10176 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10177 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10178 SHA1.
10179 [Andy Polyakov]
10180
10181 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10182 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10183 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10184 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10185 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10186 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10187 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10188 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10189
10190 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10191 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10192 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10193 [Steve Henson]
10194
10195 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10196 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10197 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10198 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10199 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10200 support to pkcs8 application.
10201 [Steve Henson]
10202
10203 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10204 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10205 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10206 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10207 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10208 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10209 [Bodo Moeller]
10210
10211 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10212 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10213 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10214 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10215 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10216 consistency.
10217 [Bodo Moeller]
10218
10219 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10220 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10221 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10222 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10223 example.
10224 [Steve Henson]
10225
10226 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10227 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10228 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10229 and any application specific purposes.
10230
10231 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10232 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10233 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10234 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10235 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10236 if the certificate is self signed.
10237 [Steve Henson]
10238
10239 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10240 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10241 [Steve Henson]
10242
10243 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10244 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10245 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10246 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10247 [Steve Henson]
10248
10249 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10250 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10251 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10252 Update documentation.
10253 [Steve Henson]
10254
10255 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10256 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10257 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10258 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10259 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10260 [Steve Henson]
10261
10262 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10263 for details.
10264 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10265
10266 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10267 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10268 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10269 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10270 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10271 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10272 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10273 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10274 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10275 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10276
10277 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10278
10279 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10280 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10281 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10282 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10283 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10284
10285 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10286 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10287 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10288 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10289 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10290 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10291 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10292 request additional information:
10293 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10294 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10295
10296 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10297 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10298 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10299 options.
10300
10301 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10302 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10303
10304 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10305 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10306 CRYPTO_dbg_free()
10307
10308 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10309 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10310
10311 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10312 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10313 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10314 algorithm.
10315 [Steve Henson]
10316
10317 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10318 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10319 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10320
10321 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10322 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10323 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10324 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10325 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10326 included in OpenSSL.
10327 [Steve Henson]
10328
10329 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10330 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10331 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10332 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10333 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10334 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10335 [Bodo Moeller]
10336
10337 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10338 PKCS12 structure.
10339 [Steve Henson]
10340
10341 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10342 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10343 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10344 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10345 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10346 structure.
10347 [Steve Henson]
10348
10349 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10350 need initialising.
10351 [Steve Henson]
10352
10353 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10354 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10355 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10356 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10357 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10358 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10359 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10360 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10361 be maintained manually.
10362
10363 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10364 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10365 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10366 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10367 work because people forget to call this function]
10368 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10369 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10370 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10371 [Steve Henson]
10372
10373 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10374 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10375 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10376 should be discouraged from doing it.
10377 [Ben Laurie]
10378
10379 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10380 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10381 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10382 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10383 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10384 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10385 [Steve Henson]
10386
10387 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10388 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10389 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10390
10391 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10392 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10393 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10394
10395 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10396 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10397 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10398 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10399 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10400 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10401
10402 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10403 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10404 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10405
10406 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10407 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10408 and vice versa.
10409
10410 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10411 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10412 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10413 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10414 [Steve Henson]
10415
10416 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10417 [Steve Henson]
10418
10419 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10420 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10421 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10422 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10423 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10424 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10425 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10426 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10427 keys so we should be OK.
10428
10429 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10430 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10431 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10432 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10433 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10434 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10435 stay in the name of compatibility.
10436
10437 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10438 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10439 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10440
10441 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10442 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10443 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10444 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10445 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10446 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10447 supplied key).
10448 [Steve Henson]
10449
10450 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10451 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10452 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10453 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10454 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10455 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10456 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10457 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10458 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10459 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10460 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10461 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10462 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10463 [Steve Henson]
10464
10465 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10466 [Steve Henson]
10467
10468 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10469 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10470 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10471 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10472 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10473 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10474 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10475 openssl verify ss.pem
10476 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10477 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10478 is OK.
10479 [Steve Henson]
10480
10481 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10482 (and add it to external session representation).
10483 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10484 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10485 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10486 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10487 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10488 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10489 security holes.
10490 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10491
10492 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10493 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10494 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10495 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10496
10497 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10498 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10499 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10500 [Steve Henson]
10501
10502 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10503 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10504 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10505 code.
10506 [Steve Henson]
10507
10508 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10509 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10510 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10511
10512 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10513 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10514 certificate auxiliary information.
10515 [Steve Henson]
10516
10517 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10518 the 'enc' command.
10519 [Steve Henson]
10520
10521 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10522 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10523 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10524 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10525 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10526 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10527 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10528 [Richard Levitte]
10529
10530 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10531 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10532 [Steve Henson]
10533
10534 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10535 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10536 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10537 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10538 [Steve Henson]
10539
10540 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10541 [Steve Henson]
10542
10543 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10544 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10545 [Steve Henson]
10546
10547 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10548 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10549 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10550 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10551 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10552 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10553 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10554 using the new 'x509' options.
10555
10556 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10557 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10558 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10559 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10560 for all purposes.
10561 [Steve Henson]
10562
10563 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10564 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10565 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10566 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10567 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10568 [Mark Cox]
10569
10570 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10571 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10572 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10573 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10574 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10575 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10576 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10577 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10578 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10579 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10580 [Steve Henson]
10581
10582 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10583 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10584 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10585 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10586 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10587 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10588 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10589 [Steve Henson]
10590
10591 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10592 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10593 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10594 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10595 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10596 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10597 openssl.cnf for more info.
10598 [Steve Henson]
10599
10600 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10601 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10602 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10603 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10604 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10605 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10606 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10607 md should be large enough anyway.
10608 [Bodo Moeller]
10609
10610 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10611 for handling the random seed file.
10612
10613 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10614 ca,
10615 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10616 s_client,
10617 s_server,
10618 x509 (when signing).
10619 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10620 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10621 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10622
10623 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10624 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10625 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10626 that support '-rand'.
10627 [Bodo Moeller]
10628
10629 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10630 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10631 [Bodo Moeller]
10632
10633 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10634 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10635 [Bill Perry]
10636
10637 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10638 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10639 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10640 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10641 is suitable.
10642 [Steve Henson]
10643
10644 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10645 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10646 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10647 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10648 [Steve Henson]
10649
10650 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10651 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10652 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10653 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10654 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10655 print out all the purposes.
10656 [Steve Henson]
10657
10658 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10659 functions.
10660 [Steve Henson]
10661
10662 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10663 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10664 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10665 single function call.
10666 [Steve Henson]
10667
10668 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10669 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10670 [Andy Polyakov]
10671
10672 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10673 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10674 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10675 [Steve Henson]
10676
10677 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10678 when producing the local key id.
10679 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10680
10681 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10682 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10683 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10684 "server.pem".
10685 [Steve Henson]
10686
10687 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10688 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10689 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10690 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10691 [Steve Henson]
10692
10693 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10694 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10695 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10696 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10697
10698 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10699 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10700 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10701 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10702
10703 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10704 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10705 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10706 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10707 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10708 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10709 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10710 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10711 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10712 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10713 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10714 trivial: move one line.
10715 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10716
10717 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10718 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10719 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10720 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10721 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10722 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10723 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10724 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10725 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10726 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10727 with an event loop for example.
10728 [Steve Henson]
10729
10730 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10731 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10732 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10733 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10734 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10735 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10736 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10737 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10738 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10739 [Steve Henson]
10740
10741 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10742 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10743 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10744 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10745 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10746 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10747 [Steve Henson]
10748
10749 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10750 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10751 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10752 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10753
10754 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10755 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10756 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10757 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10758 key generation.
10759 [Steve Henson]
10760
10761 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10762 (still largely untested)
10763 [Bodo Moeller]
10764
10765 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10766 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10767 [Steve Henson]
10768
10769 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10770 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10771 [Steve Henson]
10772
10773 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10774 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10775 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10776 [Bodo Moeller]
10777
10778 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10779 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10780 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10781 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10782 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10783 [Steve Henson]
10784
10785 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10786 [Andy Polyakov]
10787
10788 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10789 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10790 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10791 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10792 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10793 in ca.
10794 [Steve Henson]
10795
10796 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10797 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10798 1.OU="Unit name 1"
10799 2.OU="Unit name 2"
10800 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10801 [Steve Henson]
10802
10803 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10804 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10805 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10806 are otherwise ignored at present.
10807 [Steve Henson]
10808
10809 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10810 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10811 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10812 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10813 copied until the next read.
10814 [Steve Henson]
10815
10816 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10817 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10818 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10819 [Steve Henson]
10820
10821 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10822 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10823 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10824 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10825 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10826 associated functions.
10827 [Steve Henson]
10828
10829 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10830 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10831 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10832 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10833 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10834 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10835 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10836 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10837 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10838 memory BIOs.
10839 [Steve Henson]
10840
10841 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10842 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10843 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10844 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10845 [Bodo Moeller]
10846
10847 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10848 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10849 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10850 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10851 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10852 functionality.
10853 [Steve Henson]
10854
10855 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10856 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10857 under Win32.
10858 [Steve Henson]
10859
10860 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10861 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10862 extensions to be obtained and added.
10863 [Steve Henson]
10864
10865 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10866 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10867 [Bodo Moeller]
10868
10869 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10870
10871 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10872 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10873
10874 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10875 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10876
10877 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10878 program.
10879 [Steve Henson]
10880
10881 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10882 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10883 DH parameters contain its length).
10884
10885 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10886 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10887 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10888 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10889 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10890 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10891 utter importance to use
10892 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10893 or
10894 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10895 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10896 attacks may become possible!
10897 [Bodo Moeller]
10898
10899 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10900 [Bodo Moeller]
10901
10902 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10903 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10904 [Steve Henson]
10905
10906 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10907 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10908 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10909 or long name.
10910 [Steve Henson]
10911
10912 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10913 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10914 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10915 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10916 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10917 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10918 private key operations.
10919 [Steve Henson]
10920
10921 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10922 [Andy Polyakov]
10923
10924 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10925 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10926 to
10927 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10928 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10929 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10930 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10931 the password callback is called.
10932 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10933
10934 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10935
10936 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10937 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10938 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10939 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10940 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10941 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10942 this will work.
10943
10944 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10945 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10946 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10947 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10948 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10949 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10950 [Bodo Moeller]
10951
10952 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10953 [Andy Polyakov]
10954
10955 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10956 delete an unused file.
10957 [Ulf Möller]
10958
10959 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10960 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10961 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10962 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10963 [Steve Henson]
10964
10965 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10966 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10967 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10968 of an error.
10969 [Bodo Moeller]
10970
10971 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10972 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10973 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10974
10975 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10976 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10977 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10978 comparison" warnings.
10979 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10980 [Steve Henson]
10981
10982 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10983 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10984 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10985 [Steve Henson]
10986
10987 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10988 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10989
10990 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10991 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10992
10993 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10994 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10995 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10996
10997 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10998 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10999 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
11000 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
11001 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
11002 this bug.
11003 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
11004
11005 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
11006 The interface is as follows:
11007 Applications can use
11008 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
11009 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
11010 "off" is now the default.
11011 The library internally uses
11012 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
11013 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
11014 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
11015
11016 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
11017 even the default) are now avoided.
11018
11019 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
11020 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
11021 than just having a counter.
11022
11023 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
11024
11025 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
11026 extensions.
11027 [Bodo Moeller]
11028
11029 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
11030 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
11031 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
11032 Initial "mode" flags are:
11033
11034 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
11035 a single record has been written.
11036 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
11037 retries use the same buffer location.
11038 (But all of the contents must be
11039 copied!)
11040 [Bodo Moeller]
11041
11042 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
11043 worked.
11044
11045 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
11046 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
11047
11048 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
11049 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
11050 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
11051 [Steve Henson]
11052
11053 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
11054 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
11055 test programs.
11056 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
11057
11058 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
11059 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
11060 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
11061 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
11062 point to the end.
11063 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
11064 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
11065
11066 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
11067 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
11068 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
11069 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
11070 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
11071 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
11072 [Steve Henson]
11073
11074 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
11075 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
11076 necessary function names.
11077 [Steve Henson]
11078
11079 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
11080 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
11081 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
11082 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
11083 [Bodo Moeller]
11084
11085 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
11086 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
11087 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
11088 [Steve Henson]
11089
11090 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
11091 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
11092 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
11093 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
11094 such programs?)
11095 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
11096 need locks.
11097 [Bodo Moeller]
11098
11099 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
11100 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
11101 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
11102 [Bodo Moeller]
11103
11104 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
11105 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
11106 appropriate.
11107 [Bodo Moeller]
11108
11109 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
11110 for the encoded length.
11111 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
11112
11113 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
11114 [Steve Henson]
11115
11116 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
11117 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
11118 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
11119 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
11120 [Steve Henson]
11121
11122 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
11123 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
11124 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11125
11126 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
11127 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
11128 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
11129 unusual formatting.
11130 [Steve Henson]
11131
11132 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
11133 to use the new extension code.
11134 [Steve Henson]
11135
11136 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
11137 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
11138 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11139 constant.
11140 [Steve Henson]
11141
11142 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11143 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11144 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11145 [Bodo Moeller]
11146
11147 #if 0
11148 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11149 [Ben Laurie]
11150 #else
11151 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11152 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11153 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11154 #endif
11155
11156 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11157 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11158 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11159 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11160 [Ben Laurie]
11161
11162 *) DES library cleanups.
11163 [Ulf Möller]
11164
11165 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11166 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11167 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11168 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11169 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11170 of v2.0.
11171 [Steve Henson]
11172
11173 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11174 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11175 [Bodo Moeller]
11176
11177 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11178 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11179 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11180 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11181 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11182 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11183 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11184 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11185 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11186 [Steve Henson]
11187
11188 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11189 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11190 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11191 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11192 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11193 value doesn't matter.
11194 [Steve Henson]
11195
11196 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11197 support mutable.
11198 [Ben Laurie]
11199
11200 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11201 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11202 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11203 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11204
11205 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11206 [Ulf Möller]
11207
11208 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11209 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11210 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11211
11212 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11213 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11214
11215 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11216 [Ben Laurie]
11217
11218 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11219 [Ben Laurie]
11220
11221 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11222 [Ben Laurie]
11223
11224 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11225 [Bodo Moeller]
11226
11227
11228 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11229
11230 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11231
11232 *) Updated some demos.
11233 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11234
11235 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11236 [Wu Zhigang]
11237
11238 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11239 [Steve Henson]
11240
11241 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11242 [Steve Henson]
11243
11244 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11245 instead of using a fixed path.
11246 [Bodo Moeller]
11247
11248 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11249 [Andy Polyakov]
11250
11251 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11252 [Richard Levitte]
11253
11254
11255 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11256
11257 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11258 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11259 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11260
11261 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11262 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11263 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11264 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11265 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11266 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11267 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11268 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11269 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11270 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11271 [Steve Henson]
11272
11273 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11274 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11275 [Steve Henson]
11276
11277 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11278 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11279 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11280 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11281 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11282
11283 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11284 [Bodo Moeller]
11285
11286 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11287 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11288 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11289 [Steve Henson]
11290
11291 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11292 [Ben Laurie]
11293
11294 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11295 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11296 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11297 key elements as negative integers.
11298 [Steve Henson]
11299
11300 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11301 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11302
11303 *) VMS support.
11304 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11305
11306 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11307 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11308 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11309 [Steve Henson]
11310
11311 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11312 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11313 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11314 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11315 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11316 [Bodo Moeller]
11317
11318 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11319 [Ulf Möller]
11320
11321 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11322 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11323 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11324 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11325
11326 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11327 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11328 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11329
11330 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11331 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11332 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11333 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11334 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11335 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11336 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11337 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11338 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11339
11340 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11341 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11342 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11343 does not influence s as it used to.
11344
11345 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11346 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11347 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11348 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11349 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11350 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11351 [Bodo Moeller]
11352
11353 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11354 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11355 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11356 key type.
11357 [Steve Henson]
11358
11359 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11360 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11361 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11362 and 'x509').
11363 [Steve Henson]
11364
11365 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11366 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11367 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11368 extension option.
11369 [Steve Henson]
11370
11371 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11372 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11373 [Ben Laurie]
11374
11375 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11376 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11377
11378 *) Support Mingw32.
11379 [Ulf Möller]
11380
11381 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11382 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11383
11384 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11385 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11386
11387 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11388 [Ulf Möller]
11389
11390 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11391 [Anonymous]
11392
11393 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11394 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11395
11396 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11397 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11398 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11399 DER-encoded.)
11400 [Bodo Moeller]
11401
11402 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11403 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11404 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11405 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11406 now it really counts the depth.
11407 [Bodo Moeller]
11408
11409 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11410 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11411 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11412 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11413 didn't match the private key).
11414
11415 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11416 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11417 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11418 [Bodo Moeller]
11419
11420 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11421 [Ulf Möller]
11422
11423 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11424 David Harris.
11425 [Bodo Moeller]
11426
11427 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11428 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11429 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11430 [Bodo Moeller]
11431
11432 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11433 [Bodo Moeller]
11434
11435 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11436 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11437 such as /usr/local/bin.
11438 [Bodo Moeller]
11439
11440 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11441 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11442
11443 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11444 [Ulf Möller]
11445
11446 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11447 extension adding in x509 utility.
11448 [Steve Henson]
11449
11450 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11451 [Ulf Möller]
11452
11453 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11454 prototypes.
11455 [Steve Henson]
11456
11457 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11458 [Ulf Möller]
11459
11460 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11461 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11462 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11463 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11464 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11465 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11466 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11467 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11468 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11469 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11470 [Steve Henson]
11471
11472 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11473 [Bodo Moeller]
11474
11475 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11476 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11477 [Bodo Moeller]
11478
11479 *) Fix some race conditions.
11480 [Bodo Moeller]
11481
11482 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11483 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11484 [Steve Henson]
11485
11486 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11487 [Ulf Möller]
11488
11489 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11490 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11491 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11492 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11493
11494 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11495 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11496
11497 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11498 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11499 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11500
11501 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11502 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11503
11504 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11505 [Ulf Möller]
11506
11507 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11508 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11509
11510 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11511 [Ulf Möller]
11512
11513 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11514 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11515
11516 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11517 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11518 [Steve Henson]
11519
11520 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11521 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11522 [Ben Laurie]
11523
11524 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11525 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11526 [Steve Henson]
11527
11528 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11529 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11530 [Steve Henson]
11531
11532 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11533 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11534 [Steve Henson]
11535
11536 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11537 support typesafe stack.
11538 [Steve Henson]
11539
11540 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11541 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11542
11543 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11544 old X509V3 handling code.
11545 [Steve Henson]
11546
11547 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11548 [Ulf Möller]
11549
11550 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11551 [Bodo Moeller]
11552
11553 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11554 [Ben Laurie]
11555
11556 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11557 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11558
11559 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11560 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11561 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11562 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11563 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11564 [Ben Laurie]
11565
11566 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11567 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11568 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11569 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11570 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11571
11572 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11573 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11574 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11575 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11576
11577 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11578 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11579 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11580 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11581
11582 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11583 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11584 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11585 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11586 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11587 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11588 [Bodo Moeller]
11589
11590 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11591 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11592 [Bodo Moeller]
11593
11594 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11595 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11596 [Ulf Möller]
11597
11598 *) Tweaks to Configure
11599 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11600
11601 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11602 yet...
11603 [Steve Henson]
11604
11605 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11606 [Ulf Möller]
11607
11608 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11609 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11610 [Ulf Möller]
11611
11612 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11613 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11614 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11615 [Bodo Moeller]
11616
11617 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11618 [Bodo Moeller]
11619
11620 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11621 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11622 [Steve Henson]
11623
11624 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11625 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11626 to library startup routines.
11627 [Steve Henson]
11628
11629 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11630 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11631 codes along the way.
11632 [Steve Henson]
11633
11634 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11635 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11636 objects to objects.h
11637 [Steve Henson]
11638
11639 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11640 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11641 [Steve Henson]
11642
11643 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11644 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11645
11646 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11647 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11648 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11649
11650 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11651 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11652 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11653
11654 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11655 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11656 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11657
11658
11659 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11660
11661 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11662 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11663 [Ben Laurie]
11664
11665 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11666 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11667 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11668 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11669 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11670
11671 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11672 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11673 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11674 document.
11675 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11676
11677 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11678 Malloc, Free.
11679 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11680
11681 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11682 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11683
11684 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11685 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11686 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11687 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11688
11689 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11690 [Ben Laurie]
11691
11692 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11693 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11694 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11695 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11696 [Steve Henson]
11697
11698 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11699 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11700 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11701 [Steve Henson]
11702
11703 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11704 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11705 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11706 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11707 installed as `perl').
11708 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11709
11710 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11711 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11712
11713 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11714 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11715 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11716 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11717 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11718 [Steve Henson]
11719
11720 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11721 [Ben Laurie]
11722
11723 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11724 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11725 is horrible: I feel ill....
11726 [Steve Henson]
11727
11728 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11729 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11730 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11731 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11732 [Steve Henson]
11733
11734 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11735 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11736
11737 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11738 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11739 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11740 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11741
11742 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11743 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11744 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11745 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11746 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11747 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11748 openssl_bio.xs.
11749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11750
11751 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11752 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11753
11754 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11755 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11756
11757 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11758 [Ben Laurie]
11759
11760 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11761 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11762 in CRLs.
11763 [Steve Henson]
11764
11765 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11766 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11767 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11768 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11769 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11770 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11771 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11772 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11773 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11774 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11775 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11776
11777 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11778 [Ben Laurie]
11779
11780 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11781 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11782 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11783 for linking it into DSOs.
11784 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11785
11786 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11787 Fixed.
11788 [Ben Laurie]
11789
11790 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11791 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11792 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11793 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11794 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11795 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11796
11797 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11798 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11799 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11800 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11801 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11802 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11803 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11804
11805 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11806 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11807 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11808 encryption.
11809 [Ben Laurie]
11810
11811 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11812 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11813 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11814 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11815 [Steve Henson]
11816
11817 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11818 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11819 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11820 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11821 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11822 field as blank.
11823 [Steve Henson]
11824
11825 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11826 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11827 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11828 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11829 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11830
11831 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11832 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11833 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11834
11835 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11836 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11837
11838 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11839 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11840 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11841 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11842 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11843 [Steve Henson]
11844
11845 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11846 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11847 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11848 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11849 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11850 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11851 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11852 [Ben Laurie]
11853
11854 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11855 ssl/ssl_lib.c.
11856 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11857 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11858 [Ben Laurie]
11859
11860 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11861 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11862
11863 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11864 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11865 [Steve Henson]
11866
11867 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11868 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11869 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11870 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11871 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11872 (e.g. s_server).
11873 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11874 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11875 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11876 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11877 no way to reconfigure them.
11878 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11879 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11880 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11881 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11882 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11883 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11884
11885 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11886 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11887 recognized by the users.
11888 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11889
11890 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11891 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11892 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11893 already masked variable.
11894 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11895
11896 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11897 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11898
11899 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11900 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11901 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11902 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11903
11904 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11905 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11906 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11907
11908 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11909 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11910 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11911 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11912 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11913 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11914 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11915 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11916 now, too.
11917 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11918
11919 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11920 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11921 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11922
11923 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11924 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11925 config file.
11926 [Steve Henson]
11927
11928 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11929 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11930
11931 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11932 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11933 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11934 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11935 [Ben Laurie]
11936
11937 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11938 [Steve Henson]
11939
11940 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11941 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11942
11943 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11944 [Ben Laurie]
11945
11946 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11947 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11948 [Steve Henson]
11949
11950 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11951 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11952 [Steve Henson]
11953
11954 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11955 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11956 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11957 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11958 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11959 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11960 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11961 Ben Laurie]
11962
11963 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11964 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11965
11966 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11967 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11968 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11969 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11970 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11971
11972 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11973 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11974 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11975 [Steve Henson]
11976
11977 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11978 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11979 an example.
11980 [Steve Henson]
11981
11982 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11983 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11984 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11985
11986 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11987 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11988 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11989 build instructions.
11990 [Steve Henson]
11991
11992 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11993 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11994 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11995 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11996 [Steve Henson]
11997
11998 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11999 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
12000 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
12001 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
12002 [Ben Laurie]
12003
12004 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
12005 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
12006 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
12007 so it wasn't spotted.
12008 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
12009
12010 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
12011 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
12012 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
12013 vectors if you have them.
12014 [Ben Laurie]
12015
12016 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
12017 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
12018 [Ben Laurie]
12019
12020 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
12021 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
12022 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
12023 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
12024 If you do a:
12025 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
12026 it will update them.
12027 [Steve Henson]
12028
12029 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
12030 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
12031 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
12032 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
12033 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
12034 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
12035 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
12036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12037
12038 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
12039 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
12040 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
12041 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
12042 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
12043 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
12044 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
12045 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
12046 the crypto/md/ stuff).
12047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12048
12049 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
12050 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
12051 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
12052 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
12053 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
12054 [Steve Henson]
12055
12056 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
12057 INTEGER code.
12058 [Steve Henson]
12059
12060 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
12061 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12062
12063 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
12064 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
12065
12066 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
12067 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
12068 [Ben Laurie]
12069
12070 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
12071 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
12072
12073 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
12074 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
12075
12076 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
12077 [Steve Henson]
12078
12079 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
12080 few typos.
12081 [Steve Henson]
12082
12083 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
12084 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
12085 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
12086 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
12087
12088 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12089 [Steve Henson]
12090
12091 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
12092 [Steve Henson]
12093
12094 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
12095 [Steve Henson]
12096
12097 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
12098 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
12099 [Steve Henson]
12100
12101 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
12102 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
12103 CA extensions.
12104 [Steve Henson]
12105
12106 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
12107 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
12108 [Steve Henson]
12109
12110 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
12111 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
12112 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
12113 [Steve Henson]
12114
12115 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
12116 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
12117 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
12118 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
12119 properly to be processed.
12120 [Steve Henson]
12121
12122 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
12123 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
12124 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
12125 [Ben Laurie]
12126
12127 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
12128 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
12129
12130 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
12131 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
12132 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
12133 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
12134 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
12135 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
12136 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
12137 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
12138 or delete all the .err files.
12139 [Steve Henson]
12140
12141 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12142 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12143 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12144 to regenerate it if needed.
12145 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12146 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12147
12148 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12149 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12150
12151 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12152 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12153 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12154 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12155 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12156 [Steve Henson]
12157
12158 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12159 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12160
12161 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12162 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12163
12164 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12165 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12166 error, but didn't set one).
12167 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12168
12169 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12170 [Ben Laurie]
12171
12172 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12173 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12174 [Steve Henson]
12175
12176 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12177 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12178
12179 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12180 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12181 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12182 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12183 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12184 OID is not part of the table.
12185 [Steve Henson]
12186
12187 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12188 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12189 [Ben Laurie]
12190
12191 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12192 [Ben Laurie]
12193
12194 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12195 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12196 was "1234").
12197 [Steve Henson]
12198
12199 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12200 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12201
12202 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12203 NULL pointers.
12204 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12205
12206 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12207 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12208
12209 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12210 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12211
12212 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12213 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12214
12215 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12216 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12217 [Ben Laurie]
12218
12219 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12220 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12221 [Steve Henson]
12222
12223 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12224 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12225
12226 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12227 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12228
12229 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12230 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12231
12232 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12233 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12234
12235 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12236 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12237 unused in the certificate verification process.
12238 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12239
12240 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12241 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12242 [Steve Henson]
12243
12244 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12245 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12246 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12247
12248 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12249 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12250 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12251 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12252 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12253
12254 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12255 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12256 [Steve Henson]
12257
12258 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12259 [Steve Henson]
12260
12261 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12262 [Paul Sutton]
12263
12264 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12265 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12266
12267 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12268 [Ben Laurie]
12269
12270 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12271 [Ben Laurie]
12272
12273 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12274 [Ben Laurie]
12275
12276 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12277 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12278 other error libraries.
12279 [Steve Henson]
12280
12281 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12282 [Steve Henson]
12283
12284 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12285 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12286 be read in.
12287 [Steve Henson]
12288
12289 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12290 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12291 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12292 the new set of documentation files.
12293 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12294
12295 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12296 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12297 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12298 number of arguments.
12299 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12300
12301 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12302 [Ben Laurie]
12303
12304 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12305 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12306 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12307
12308 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12309 [Ben Laurie]
12310
12311 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12312 nextstep
12313 ncr-scde
12314 unixware-2.0
12315 unixware-2.0-pentium
12316 sco5-cc.
12317 [Ben Laurie]
12318
12319 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12320 before they are needed.
12321 [Ben Laurie]
12322
12323 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12324 [Ben Laurie]
12325
12326
12327 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12328
12329 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12330 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12331 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12332
12333 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12334 [Paul Sutton]
12335
12336 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12337 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12338 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12339
12340 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12341 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12342 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12343
12344 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12345 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12347
12348 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12349 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12350
12351 *) Updated the README file.
12352 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12353
12354 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12355 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12357
12358 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12359 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12361
12362 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12363 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12364 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12365 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12366 o removed obsolete TODO file
12367 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12368 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12369
12370 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12371 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12372 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
12373 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
12374 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
12375 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12376 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12377
12378 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12379 [Mark J. Cox]
12380
12381 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12382 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12383 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until

12434 [Eric A. Young]
12435
12436 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12437 [Eric A. Young]

12440 [Eric A. Young]
12441
12442 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.

12444
12445 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12446 [Eric A. Young]
12447

12463 [Eric A. Young]
12464
12465 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12466 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
